AppSheet Reviews

My usual use cases for AppSheet involve tracking our IT projects and tasks. All the projects of our IT department and all the tasks are tracked under Google Sheets and AppSheet.

Another use case is that when we discuss any particular task or project, we can put a link to that particular task or project and upload the document in Google Drive as well. One Google Sheet serves as a comprehensive master sheet wherein any document related to any project or any task can be found in Google Drive.

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.

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.

I have been working with AppSheet for the last five to six years.

AppSheet is absolutely stable because even if someone tries to delete any data, I can retrieve it from the edit history. I can also lock the cells, which I have done in AppSheet. When I lock and protect certain cells, I give particular access to those cells to the team member who needs to fill that specific set of cells in Google Sheets.

AppSheet has been scalable in an exponential manner, not just a linear manner. When 40 people are working from the same department on the same sheet, it is quite self-explanatory that this is a very scalable tool.

By linear, I mean if one person is mailing the sheet to another person, then it goes to a third person, which makes it more of a labor-intensive process. In contrast, exponential means that 40 people work together on a single sheet, which is smart work. Additionally, it gives the edit history for each and every single edit made by any individual team member.

I do not often communicate with the technical support of AppSheet as I have not had the need to do that so far.

I usually utilize documentation and guides by accessing Google support, where there is a help section with a lot of articles. From there, I found out about the timeline feature as well. The amount of material is quite comprehensive and sufficient, so there was no need to approach Google support for any feature.

Before AppSheet, I was struggling with Excel by just mailing Excels to each other and was using MS Project Online. In Project Online, I had access to a document library to share documents with the team, but it was not very user-friendly. AppSheet is much more user-friendly.

Before ending up with Google, we did not evaluate many options. We have Smartsheet, Wrike, ClickUp, and various other tools, but Google Sheets resembles Microsoft Excel in many ways. It is the one where collaboration is the fastest and most comfortable for everybody.

The initial setup process and deployment were relatively very simple. I just had to share the sheet with people and give them edit, view, or commentator rights. It was a very simple process; I just needed their mail IDs to share the sheets and ask them to fill the data while assigning tasks to the team.

I participated in the initial setup of AppSheet as part of the IT department, but dealing with the vendor was not my responsibility. I was part of the setup from the end user's perspective.

The biggest return on investment with AppSheet is that 40 people are working on the same sheet, which provides significant ROI in terms of time saving, increased collaboration, and effectiveness. This is the biggest use case of AppSheet.

The pricing and licensing of AppSheet are quite competitive. Even the Google One membership or its plans are quite cheap, so that is not an issue. When compared to the Microsoft Suite of Apps, Google Suite of Apps is far cheaper. Even if I have a personal plan of Google Drive, it is quite pocket friendly.

I have utilized AppSheet's workflow automation by using VLOOKUP.

VLOOKUP is very important because between multiple sheets, VLOOKUP, even in Google Sheets, is very useful. If I'm searching for a single task ID, let's say the name of the task ID is TSK 221681, just a random example, and I come to a new sheet and press Control F to find and search for every single task manually, it consumes a lot of time. That is the reason why VLOOKUP is very handy and useful.

Regarding the integration capabilities of AppSheet, I have not worked on the integration part with other products.

Customizable templates have helped me in application development as they shorten down my work duration and repetitive tasks.

I have not used macros in AppSheet for data collection improvements, but I have used them in Excel.

I have given this review an overall rating of 10.

I use AppSheet in my company for internal consumption, reporting, application, and utilizing the tool, but we don't resell it.

We use it for reporting purposes. We do a lot of risk assessments and, as a result, a lot of risk assessment reporting. We gather a lot of evidence as part of the risk assessment, so we utilize AppSheet for that.

The most valuable features of the solution are ease of use, accessibility, and the fact that you can access it on your cell phone. The tool's applicability, usability, and flexibility are definitely the best aspects of the application.

AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications. If somebody adds some information, the tool should notify others that an employee has added some information. Even if you added some information, you get a notification for that.

I have experience with AppSheet for a year. My company has a business relationship with Google as we use the product's whole suite. I use the tool as a customer.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Within our group, I think five to six people will probably use the tool.

The tool is mostly not used on an everyday basis. It is not used daily but weekly.

I think the tool offers usability, and I think we can scale it. As far as our utilization is concerned, I think it is very scalable. It is very flexible. You can utilize the tool for various reasons. You can use the tool to look at your vulnerability scans and upload information. You can do risk assessments. You can do physical site assessments. I think scalability deserves five stars for sure. The scalability seems to be very easy to use and scalable and flexible.

I wouldn't know firsthand about the technical support of the solution as the person who developed the app has more information on it. He had a lot of support while developing the app. He used to be able to do a good amount of research, and I think the feedback was positive from that point for our company as he was able to research a lot of the information regarding the tool and make it a lot more user-friendly. I think the support has been favorable. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

We did not use any other tools in the past.

If ten means easy, I rate the product's initial setup phase as nine to ten out of ten.

Speaking about the product's deployment phase, I didn't take part in utilizing it, but one of my coworkers did get involved in it.

The solution is deployed on a public cloud from Microsoft Azure.

The solution can be deployed in a couple of months.

I think two specialists are required for deployment, and they can be risk assessors, integrators, vulnerability managers, or scanners.

Help from some integrator was needed to deploy the tool.

More and more team members in my company are using the tool. We are encouraging other team members from other teams as well, too, because I am in the cyber and information security group. I have been talking to other team members from different groups about how to customize and use it according to their needs.

The tool is available at a low price. Speaking about the person using the tool, I would say that he was able to use it since he had an engineering background, along with the ability to utilize it according to his skills and background in a relatively easy manner. The pricing was very affordable and easy. We use products that fall under Google's suite. Financially, it was not very much of a challenge to use the tool.

There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

For automating tasks, we are able to execute and automate the reports. All you have to do is touch the button and push the button, and then the report gets automated. A lot of the evidence gets organized and uploaded. Once I upload the evidence, it gets automated. Once I upload the evidence, I can make it part of the report, like an automated report. I think that is very valuable for us because we are constantly on the run. We're traveling a lot. You can utilize your personal phone to access the app, take pictures, upload pictures, and then execute the report, which I think is the most helpful. You can also look at maps. You can add a map feature to it as well, including your location and where you are when you add some information. If you are doing some physical site assessment, you often take a picture of that site, giving you a real-time address or location, so that is really helpful as it gives an advantage to figure out where we were when we did the assessment.

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. I think it is a win-win situation for all.

There is not too much maintenance in the tool. We are just constantly looking at the app, utilizing it a little bit more, and fixing some of the areas that we feel can be a little bit more utilized, like maps, locations, and uploading reports. We find it very utilized.

The tool is not involved in AI at this time.

I would highly recommend it to those who want to use it for reporting, marketing, business development and capture management. I think one can utilize AppSheet for its flexibility, its ease of use, and accessibility.

I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

I am mainly an IT consultant for Google Workspace into small companies and nonprofit organizations. I work with different tools. However, 90% of my job revolves around Google Workspace.

AppSheet provides the possibility to save time, and if we save time, we save money. It allows for easy app setup to simplify a workflow. If AppSheet works for your workflow, you're the winner.

AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use. It works natively on mobile devices without needing to set up anything. It integrates well with all of the Google infrastructure. It’s possible to allow third-party people to use these apps without having a Google account.

I do not have enough experience with AppSheet to make specific recommendations for improvements.

Regarding my experience with AppSheet, it is not the main application I'm working with or that I have to give training for. That said, it is a tool that I know.

I have not faced any stability issues or downtimes.

I have never contacted Google’s technical support regarding AppSheet.

Positive

It's a workflow-simplifying tool. Simplifying workflows can help save time, which in turn saves money.

If you are a Google Workspace user, you have AppSheet as part of the package, so you don't have to pay anything more to use it.

There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path.

If you have a workflow in your company and you are not happy with how it works right now, you might try to solve it with AppSheet. It's useful if it aligns with your workflow expectations.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We used AppSheet for creating simple mobile apps for various applications.

The solution is quite efficient, elaborate, sophisticated, fast, and easy to use. The development total is very short since it's a low-key system. All of the background operations are done by Google, and we just have to create documents, link them, and then do instructions for reports and some automation.

No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient.

Almost, for the last one and a half years, I am not using AppSheet at all. I worked with it for two years. Last year I changed roles.

AppSheet is quite stable and reliable.

There are other programs like Flutter, which is from Google. Complete coding is required, and it is free of cost. There is no cost for using Flutter, but it requires development costs.

In India, selling costly software like AppSheet is challenging due to its licensing cost of seven thousand five hundred rupees per year per license per user. Alternatives like Flutter incur zero cost.

AppSheet is a reliable solution with a good brand value and support system. For very cheap requirements, consider other software. When coming across clients who require very affordable solutions, they can look into other options.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I develop some macros and programs to link forms since nothing is easier than VBA for Excel, for instance. We use AppSheet to link the Sheets in. We try to make a database since Google has none at the moment. It has no SQL database, and so we are compelled to do it by ourselves, with AppSheet.

I like the combination of Drive, Sheets, and Glide. Glide is an app to use on mobile phones.

The solution is pretty simple to implement.

The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities.

I’ve been using the solution for six months.

Stability is the leading risk. We can't ensure that the solution will last since, if Google decides something, it's finished. Or if the network, if the cloud doesn't work in our country suddenly, our access is gone. The connectivity is also not always ideal. Therefore, scalability is always a risk for us.

It is scalable for us. We are a small company with 100 people. We do not have not big, big company. We have two big companies in the country, and they use SAP for this. However, for all the other companies, it's this solution. The low-cost solution is enough.

With Google, even if you find a bug or something, it is solved quickly. The maximum I found was one week. However, if you declare on the forum that you have a problem, it is solved almost immediately. They are reactive. The improvement is continuous.

The personal support, person to person, is zero; however, the general support is very good. We don't expect to get somebody on the phone.

Positive

We used to use the Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel. However, we stopped using it about six months ago.

I loved the VB solution. The best system for me at the moment is the Excel VBA. I can do everything with this. They are secure, and they have a database QR with MDB or access CCB. This is best for me. However, we need to buy this. It’s a lot of money and we now reject the Microsoft policy. Even if it's the best, we prefer to use AppSheet instead. It has developed some features that even Excel doesn’t have. While it's a minimal initiative, it’s my understanding that they will grow now.

The initial setup is really, really straightforward. It’s not overly complex.

Its deployment takes about one week.

I was able to set up the solution myself, in-house. I did not need outside assistance.

Right now it is free and open source, however, there’s always a risk that one day they will decide to start charging us for it and that would not be ideal. We use it due to the fact that it is free.

I am a consultant, and I perform training on this solution.

The solution is always auto-updating. I’m not sure which version we are on currently. I don’t keep track.

I would recommend the product to others.

I’d rate it an eight out of ten.

My company uses AppSheet for data keeping and data sharing.

A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good.

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.

I've been using AppSheet for six months.

I'm happy with the stability of AppSheet. It's a very stable solution.

In terms of the scalability of AppSheet, it can scale according to my needs, but I'm not using data that much at the moment. For a simple task, I'm fine with about ten thousand records. If I need more than that figure, then I'm not sure how scalable AppSheet is.

I've never used technical support for AppSheet.

I used OutSystems in the past as that's a similar solution to AppSheet, and though it has more features, those were too much for me and a bit complex. OutSystems was more difficult to use. I found AppSheet easier to use, so I went with AppSheet.

Setting up AppSheet is very easy. On a scale of one to five, with one being the worst and five being the best, I would rate the initial setup for AppSheet five out of five.

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.

I'm using AppSheet from Google.

My team has ten AppSheet users, in particular, developers and account managers. My team uses the solution daily. In terms of maintenance, AppSheet only requires very little maintenance, particularly just a few minor updates. You just need to update some fields.

I would recommend AppSheet to anyone looking into implementing it, but if an enterprise customer is planning on using it, the paid version of the solution would be better rather than the free version because an enterprise would need a more scalable solution and to achieve that level of scalability, you need to pay for a license.

My rating for AppSheet is nine out of ten.

I have a few use cases for this solution. I have a field-service agent in mining, a technician business within a coffee business, and I am also looking at doing something around sales and maintenance.

We have built a workflow using this solution to do our day-to-day operations and then monitor our agents in the field. We are able to track their work when they do projects and when they finish their tasks. We get a report on all of this information and it definitely made life easier.

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. There is a lot of functionality that is important, for example, to do signatures and PDFs. Additionally, the user interface and the data import and export are very good and overall the solution is easy to use have has a quick turnaround time.

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. Sometimes the assumption or the workload's based on someone using that those features should be customizable, this could allow them to open up to a global market.

In an upcoming release, I would like to see is more around the reporting and the ability to accommodate non-Google accounts. They need to change the structure a little bit so it is more like an application rather than a specific security protocol, such as Google. Office, or Dropbox. At the moment the solution is very Google-based and very focused on data security. However, in Africa, not everybody has a Google account. I want to be able to create basic email or to have the ability to create bespoke user accounts.

I have been using the solution for two months.

The stability of the solution is very good in my experience.

I have approximately 30 using the solution in my organization.

I have plans to increase the usage of the solution. It is not being used intensively at the moment, we are still very early in the proof of concept stages. If we can get it off the ground and the solution stays operating well as it is, we will keep it, and if not then we will replace it. At the moment it seems to be doing the job that we want it to do.

Previously we used typical spreadsheets, such as Excel.

The installation was very straightforward. This is the power of the platform, it easy to use. The deployment took a few hours.

I did the implementations of the solution myself.

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.

My advice to those wanting to implement the solution is if you understand your data then this solution will work for you very well. The rapid application development process that comes out of use is very valuable.

One biggest lesson I have learned is the more you use the solution, the better you get at it and the easier it becomes. 

I rate AppSheet an eight out of ten.

I'm in the process of testing the product at this time.

The solution allows for many great features.

The product allows you to easily format columns. If I, for example, name something "phone" it will attach the correct characters to it. If I have a column for the date of birth, it will associate a date format to it. 

There is the possibility for data linking, which is very helpful. I can get and add emails to it.

The security of the solution is very good. 

It's a very good no-code development platform.

They should offer a license for playing out on an unlimited number of results. Otherwise, they're not competing properly with other solutions. It ends up being a higher cost.

They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost. This is offered at the basic level as well. 

It would be ideal if it was more clear what the features on offer are. If there was a central place we could look at what was on offer and what is being designed, it would be useful. 

I've only been using the solution for about a week or so. It's very new still. I've only started to use it.

They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost. They need to be a bit more generous by allowing for more sign-ons or maybe lowering the cost. The pricing is too high and the overall solution is far too expensive.

This is the first no-code development platform that I have used, however, I am looking at other similar solutions. I may start with AWS next. I need to look at it. I'm curious about what else is on offer.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly pleased with its capabilities.

I use the solution in financial developments  especially in the economic and financial sector as a solution for monitoring and supervising which always receive un formed data this solution helps a lot to organize this data and manage the tasks , I also used this solution in the education sector , it's really easy and flexible for any aspect , In the near future I'm planning to use this solution for an enterpruner and humanitarian sector which will help a lot to improve some startup companies with providing this solution for free .

The Appsheet has improved my organization by providing fast consulting services by using the advanced cloud technology solutions . Using the Agile management in my firm insisted that I have to find fast solutions to reduce the amount of process , really the Appsheet solution helps a lot and give me the chance to manage the work and to think out of the box to find easy and flexbility ble way for using this solution in multiple aspect in my life . I will be flowing the updates for this solution and try to implement it in my work .

The solution has been very user friendly, easy to use, and we are able to use many applications like Excel or Google sheets , the flexibility of use this solution and entegrate it with several applications related to data management as I mentioned first such as Excel and Google sheets .. etc .

AppSheet has given its users the chance to see the Excel or Google Sheet through an application instead of working in the usual sheets . It's new and different way to manage working with sheets . The real value of AppSheet in my opinion is how to use artificial intelligence to redirect the data to users .

They could improve by providing more language support other than English especially the languages that written from right to left such as Arabic , integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX.Also I recommend adding more templates to be used by the smartphones for creating applications. They could be used in small development sectors , which are difficult for them to invest in additional costs for using appalachians and solutions , the cost of using the Appsheet is calculated according to the need

I have been using the solution for approximately a year.

I have found the solution to be reliable.

The support has been good.

Microsoft PowerApp ,I switched to Appsheet easier and free plan in firest.

The installation was easy.

I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors , more flexible and safe .

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate AppSheet a nine out of ten.
