Centralized task tracking has transformed team collaboration and has saved significant time
The features or capabilities of AppSheet that I have found the most valuable include Freeze Panes, which is one of the most valuable features, and Dropdown, which is another valuable feature. Freeze Panes is extremely important because it freezes the first top row of the sheet. When I'm scrolling the sheet and going down, I can see the first row on the screen full time while scrolling to my data. This is a very beautiful feature of Google Sheets. Additionally, the dropdown feature allows me to write yes, no, and not applicable against a particular line item without typing every time by creating a dropdown. I write it once with yes, no, not applicable, and then I select that option. The real-time updates in AppSheet improve collaboration in my team because 40 people in the same department operate on a single Google Sheet. They all update their tasks, their projects, and everything on that same sheet, which is a massive leap in technology. Otherwise, I would be mailing a single Excel sheet to 40 people and getting everybody's input from them all manually, which would be extremely time-consuming. It's a massive technology jump when it comes to collaboration.

Integration processes improve but scripting requires effort
The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform.With the Salesforce Platform, I have minimal experience of approximately one and a half years. I get minimal exposure, once every three or two months, especially during holidays. The Salesforce Platform is connected to the cloud, which is beneficial. When it is integrated with different tools such as Microsoft BI Analytics, it helps us analyze much better. Currently, the integration itself is tricky as we have to use extensive scripting. It should be more of a plug-in and use solution. That is the only issue I see, but otherwise, I appreciate it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have found the way they structure the workflow and the fact that it a progressive application is valuable for me. This allows me to be able to build it once and use it in multiple formats."
"The solution has been very user friendly, easy to use, and we are able to use many applications like Excel or Google sheets."
"The solution is pretty simple to implement."
"With Google, even if you find a bug or something, it is solved quickly."
"The solution allows for many great features, including easy column formatting that automatically applies the correct formats for phone numbers and dates, helpful data linking, robust email integration, very good security, and it is a very good no-code development platform."
"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."
"The solution is quite efficient, elaborate, sophisticated, fast, and easy to use."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors, more flexible and safe."
"The solution is highly scalable, as a company can easily scale if they need to and it effectively expands to meet your needs."
"It is very user-friendly, and intuitive, it will lead you and take you to the next steps."
"This solution gives us a great platform to import and save customer data from various sources, and then manage them using outreach and various plugins to keep activity up."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"Salesforce is the best one out there."
"The product has definitely helped us improve our support services."
"We used it for providing a 360 view of the customers from within Salesforce, so a lot of data got presented there, for which we used Einstein Analytics, and the Einstein Analytics dashboards were really great."
 

Cons

"Stability is the leading risk. We can't ensure that the solution will last since, if Google decides something, it's finished."
"There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path."
"What I think could be improved or enhanced in AppSheet includes the timeline feature, as that is something which is a real pain point and not very efficient in Google Sheets."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."
"If I need more than that figure, then I'm not sure how scalable AppSheet is."
"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."
"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost. The pricing is too high and the overall solution is far too expensive."
"Salesforce could improve by offering AI features or functionalities to help business decision-makers analyze business history, suggest forward strategies, and participate in events."
"I have found it takes an exceedingly long time to put opportunities or clients in the system. If I have an opportunity that I need to put in the system it could take approximately 10 minutes. This is a lot of time when you have multiple opportunities to put in. There are other tasks to do that are required by supervisors, such as forecasts. What I have done to save time is I did not input as much detail as I could have because I knew it was going to take me an hour to get five leads in."
"Technical support could be a bit faster."
"I would like Salesforce to recommend related opportunities within the organization that have been taken to closure, so we can fast track new opportunities based on past experiences."
"Some business functionalities could be improved."
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"There needs to be more documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is available at a low price."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."
"The cost is reasonable for the corporations I work for. I would say an average would be around $100 per month per user."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Salesforce is cheap."
"The price of Salesforce Platform is very expensive. There are other solutions that are similar that cost a quarter of what Salesforce Platform does, such as HubSpot."
"It is an expensive program."
