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

"The solution is pretty simple to implement."
"The real-time updates in AppSheet improve collaboration in my team because 40 people in the same department operate on a single Google Sheet, and they all update their tasks, their projects, and everything on that same sheet, which is a massive leap in technology."
"The security of the solution is very good."
"The tool's integration capabilities enhance our existing workflows and as far as the workflows are concerned, I think it is pretty seamless, intuitive, and interactive."
"The solution has been very user friendly, easy to use, and we are able to use many applications like Excel or Google sheets."
"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."
"The solution is quite efficient, elaborate, sophisticated, fast, and easy to use."
"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."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports."
"I like it because of the fact that it lets me know what I'm working on and what I've recently worked on. It also helps me and allows me to do tracking. If I want to go out and find out how many times I've touched customers, I can find that information out. It tracks such information, and we use it. If we send any type of promotions out, it tracks who gets those promotions and how they've responded to those promotions."
"Features they are integrating to the other services."
"Stability of the platform is important, as are security and flexibility."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect."
"A great platform to import, manage and save customer data."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of areas for improvement in AppSheet, I do many things with it, and I'm happy with its data features. The solution has good data features, and though some basic functions may not be there, AppSheet is good enough for me at the moment. I can use it in my business. I like it, and I'm still happy with it because I'm not using it intensively. I just use AppSheet for simple tasks rather than complex ones, though the solution has many use cases. In its next release, what could make the solution better would be more partners for integration, for example, integration with SAP, particularly plugins or APIs with more partners that it could integrate with. There should be an out-of-the-box feature built for integration with more partners."
"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."
"They could improve by providing more language support other than English, integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"I think that Salesforce can improve lead management when it comes to B2C. I would like to have more features specifically related to the B2C segment. The current process where you create a lead that's in the B2C segment and it creates an account makes no sense."
"The previous version had a complicated interface where multiple pages and data entries were required, which was not pleasant for sales teams or business users."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"It's all set up for us in a way that establishes our account. We need to tag ourselves to opportunities. You have to tag yourself to the opportunity manually; you need to find it yourself and tag it."
"Simplification is something it needs. Every time you get the engineers involved, they make things a little too complicated. It might be more beneficial to simplify everything for quick and easy reference."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"The marketing automation needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is available at a low price."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"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."
"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."
"Salesforce does a user capacity analysis on a regular basis. For example, if you're not using certain areas, you may lose access. If you don't go in and quote and edit quotes, all of a sudden you may lose your rights to quote."
"It is an expensive program."
"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 a bit expensive."
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"Salesforce is cheap."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"It is expensive."
