GW Apps Reviews
Pros
I'm very happy with this software which provides excellent features like Workflow Management, Task Management, Role Based Permission, etc. Recommend this software for handle multiple projects.
The documentation is excellent, and while I rated customer support highly, I've not actually had to interact with anyone from support due to the excellent knowledgebase.
I loved how easy it was to customize for the end user and to get customization if needed from the developer. I was impressed by the interoperability of the product with both MS Office 365 and G Suite.
I have watched the product grow over the years and I have been very impressed by the team's dedication to improving the user experience.
Cons
The only feature missing that I can think of is not natively being able to pull from APIs, etc.
The UI was a little tricky to figure out at first.
The main problem we are addressing is the replacement of Google App Maker.
Being locked to a low-code | No Code app builder may bring limitation to heavy innovation if a command is not accessible to the platform.

"Excellent competitor to Zapier and outright replacement for Lotus Domino."
Overall: The main problem we are addressing is the replacement of Google App Maker. It was a great platform and it was disappointing and frustrating when Google made the decision to decommission the product, and until discovering GW Apps we've had to direct users to using App Script or Zapier as the alternatives.
Pros: With Google sunsetting its competing platform in Google App Maker, I have had the opportunity to work with several clients in creating in place replacements for workflows using GW Apps. Overall, I like it much better than I did Google App Maker and I find it much easier to use and deploy than options like Zapier. The documentation is excellent, and while I rated customer support highly, I've not actually had to interact with anyone from support due to the excellent knowledgebase.
Cons: I didn't like that the approval of applications by IT isn't a default setting, but it was easy enough to go and change the setting. Now it's a standard action whenever I assist a customer with setting up their new Google environment in conjunction with GW Apps.
"Data management made easy for the new decade."
Overall: GW Apps support team has always responded to every question and consideration that our team has had. Our End-Users and Administrators have all experienced outstanding and consistent service from their support team.
Pros: GW App Admin | App Builder Perspective - GW Apps has given our organization the ability to evolve and push customer change requests to our applications within minutes. The responsive click-and-drag concept is well developed. This makes our no-code developer's applications look like it was produced by our Sr. Back End Developers. Business Perspective - After a year + of testing multiple Low-Code | No-Code platforms. GW Apps provides our organization with a peace-of-mind knowing that we own the data; not just an export of our data. With this concept, our organization fully controls all data within our Cloud Platform; while using GW Apps, as the front-end for our team. Security Analysis Perspective - GW Apps allows robust provisioning tools which allow our team to assign roles based off of groups, workflows, methods of access, stages in where data lives, and more. GW Apps platform supported our benchmarks for the 'National Institute of Standards and Technology' (NIST); bringing confidence to our auditors, clients, and team. End User Perspective - GW Apps in consistent with it's design layout. Because of this, a new app can be introduced to me and my colleges with fast adaptation and understanding in how the app functions and relates to the business.
Cons: Being locked to a low-code | No Code app builder may bring limitation to heavy innovation if a command is not accessible to the platform. The GW Apps team has been most helpful in bringing temporary solutions and recommendations to our organization apps as we wait for these site-wide request to be considered, built and tested into the overall GW Apps Service offerings.
"Consider to use GWApps to digitalize your Enteprise"
Overall: I use GWApps to manage my marketing campaign and to manage the business process of my customer.
Pros: The Ease to use in modeling form to collect data
Cons: At the moment I am not finding anything I miss
"Great no-coding app solution"
Overall: I use it on a daily basis for time reporting on multiple projects, and at the end of every week, I just export my timesheets to and excel and produce an invoice. I think this is a great no-coding app solution which has more features than Google docs, and a much more pleasing UI.
Pros: I found GW apps to be very easy to use and get up and running almost instantly. It has a couple of typical departmental app templates ready to go out-of-the-box, and making customizations was simple and intuitive. Someone with moderate computer skills would be able to use this and create their own apps and without writing a line of code. Once the app is built, you can access it from your phone browser with pretty much the same functionality. All around very useful product.
Cons: I sometimes had issues logging in with Safari mobile browser. It doesn't seem to remember my username and password. This could also be due to Google's authentication, since I use my Gmail account for login.

"Amazing Software for Projects Management"
Overall: I'm very happy with this software which provides excellent features like Workflow Management, Task Management, Role Based Permission, etc.. Recommend this software for handle multiple projects.
Pros: Task Management and Workflow Management is the main best features of this software. You can easily setup your multiple projects and assign tasks to your teams.
Cons: Customer support take too much time to connect, but after that they will provide good assistance.
"GW App saves us ten's of thousands"
Overall: Wonderful, I have IT staff and developers who gave GW Apps a 10 out of 10.
Pros: I have a sales team that covers 60 different locations a week; different rates, taxes, and commissions. The GW App offered a template that was simple to use, edit, and train people in.
Cons: Turn around time for the software was not difficult, it was the flexibility needed to develop a customized software for the whole team. As our company grew our software has to be re-developed. A good problem to have.
"Power User for GW Apps Review"
Overall: Absolutely love using the platform!
Pros: GW Apps is a great low-code platform for creating workflows. I use this platform daily to manage the companies forms, and have next to no issues with it.
Cons: The only feature missing that I can think of is not natively being able to pull from APIs, etc. However, it does have an API built in that you can create and update records, which makes up for it.
"Amazing For Forms"
Overall: Great -- saved me time, money, and endless printouts.
Pros: My work has me looking at forms all day and GW Apps has a sweet hack that lets me cut them down into tabs. It's genius. It saves me from scrolling endlessly and does amazing things for reporting data. Shout-out to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the dream team for onboarding me and taking the time to listen and learn what I was looking for, and for their genius feature recommendations. This has made my workday at least 20% more efficient.
Cons: No complaints here! Especially since my company's staff is all on the same page and using GW Apps to communicate between departments.
"Great Product & Top Customer Support "
Overall: As soon as I signed up, the support team reached out to me and set up a call to go over my requirements. They were very patient and walked me through different options for my company's specific needs. It was very easy to get started and they are always very responsive.
Pros: Brilliant product with incredible customer support. We've been using GW Apps for a year and they keep adding new features (a lot of which we had asked for!). The team is more efficient and GW Apps helps us customize the system to get exactly what we need. Highly recommend!
Cons: It took a few days to get up to speed on the platform but after that it was smooth sailing
"Powerful, Customizable, Great Support"
Pros: Honestly, using GW Apps even once a week has saved my department so much time. The reports feature and customizable emails are a godsend. In addition, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the team were very responsive and gave me a personal overview of the product. They listened carefully to my needs and requirements and suggested useful templates and features. I also asked for a calendar feature that didn't exist and they are currently in the process of adding it to the platform. Faultless customer service for a powerful and easy to use product!
Cons: That it didn't have the calendar feature I needed. That said, the tech support team created the template of my dreams!
"Good App builder and document management tool."
Pros: Really loved the app. It helps in building enterprise applications and one of the best tool for storing all your documents. Also provides great collaboration tools. Best feature is the drag and drop feature.
Cons: Still some features are missing and customer support can be bit more faster.

"Powerful Software for Business Process Automation"
Overall: GW Apps is very powerful tool for making your business process impressive in less time. They allows us to build more applications very quickly using no code feature of this tool. Very easy to use and effective for developers and team managers.
Pros: This tool offers many features that are very impactful for your workflow. It allows you to integrate third party tool for connect your data easily. No code feature of this tool is very impressive for building forms in less time.
Cons: I didn't find any disadvantage of this tool.
"Love it"
Overall: After many years looking for the software I needed (and I tried MANY of them), I finally found Gwapps and I love it.
Pros: - Easy to set up (you still need some experience in database managment I think) - It WORKS (so many other software are not stable) - Customer service (by Karim) is amazing
Cons: Some pre-set integration with other platforms would be a plus (on-line payment, newsletter etc...). And the platform is not super strong with figures (only basic calculations) so don't try to create and accounting software with it.. but for basic invoicing and quote it works.
"Excellent Software for Data Management and Workflow "
Overall: Overall very great software for data management and Workflow and very user friendly software.
Pros: It offers many useful features to manage your task and track records in easy way.
Cons: i have faced login issues some time in mobile browser.
"Great tools for Startups to manage their operations"
Overall: It was really easy to get setup on GW Apps. With just a couple of clicks I was able to initiate an account, install some templates and get started. Startups often cannot afford spending a lot of money purchasing multiple SaaS solutions, so GW Apps was a perfect fit for us, as we were able to track vacations, assets, consultant times, and more.
Pros: Product was very easy to use, the support team is very helpful and are very responsive.
Cons: Nothing. We haven't had issues so far, we've been happy with the platform.
"Adaptable, simple to use."
Overall: Brilliant. Five stars. Highly recommend.
Pros: As an independent artist, it allows me to save up on time trying to coordinate projects and helps to organize my business. It makes very easy to create invoices for clients at a moment's notice.
Cons: They don't have the big brand name recognition but that's not a con in my book. All that means is that customer support knows my name and they value my business.
"Great for departmental applications "
Overall: We're happy we discovered this product. It is very easy to use, well structured, and offers more capabilities for customization that other platforms we evaluated. All without having to write any code or scripting. And we like the fact that we get live support on short notice.
Pros: It's easily customizable. We were able to build a simple Help Desk application in a couple of hours. Although we use Zendesk as an enterprise applications, we needed a simpler processes for our stores associates to submit tickets and avoid a string of emails and followups to be generated.
Cons: We would like to see more integration with off the shelf SaaS software. We considered GWApps for expense reporting but it did integrate with our accounting system at this time. We saw a recent update on APIs availabilities.
"Great Microsoft Access Replacement!"
Pros: Useful features, especially the PDF builder and the data import wizard. We came in using Microsoft Excel and Access to track our day to day workflows and GW Apps was the perfect solution to move things forward for our new company. The team was really helpful with the migration and getting us set up with the new system. Been using it for about 8 months and I've definitely been getting my money's worth.
Cons: It took a little getting used to when we were setting up workflows but the team provided one on one training and resources to help us find our way. Also asked for a workflow diagram maker and it's being worked on -- love how responsive they are.
"Exceptional customer service and intuitive interface"
Overall: It was a very positive experience using GW Apps and I would not hesitate to partner with them on future projects.
Pros: [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his team truly partnered with us to implement a solution that met our needs. They were willing and able to troubleshoot any issues we had and worked with our timeline. The interface is intuitive and similar in concept to many form builders. However, it is more powerful when coupled with some of the workflows and automations.
Cons: There were some limitations in the features you could design when it came to using logic and triggers but we worked with the team to find work arounds.
"Really helpful application builder"
Overall: We have solved many problems that we didn't even know existed. I opened this up to our entire team and I received feedback from all departments including HR, AP and AR. They all had use cases which we have been implementing and will continue to do so. Bringing all paper documents online has been a tremendous value. Also, creating workflows to enable streamlining communications between departments.
Pros: The simple drag and drop features and templates have been extremely valuable. We were able to bring most of our paper forms online due to the simplicity of GWAPPS. We have been able to streamline our approvals and internal processes due to bringing this online.
Cons: There arent too many cons. The only one was integration with some our internal applications, but its not that big of a deal.
"Great Product with Great Support"
Overall: Overall this has been a great product to work with and I would definitely recommend it.
Pros: It is very easy to implement. Very customizable and the support team is constantly adding more features and willing to help.
Cons: The UI was a little tricky to figure out at first.
"Amazing answer to Access and Lotus Notes"
Overall: I have watched the product grow over the years and I have been very impressed by the team's dedication to improving the user experience.
Pros: I loved how easy it was to customize for the end user and to get customization if needed from the developer. I was impressed by the interoperability of the product with both MS Office 365 and G Suite.
Cons: I thought it was easy to use and anything that I was missing was being added in the roadmap in the near future. I did find some nice to haves were not there at this time but we discussed and were looking at how these nice to haves could be accomplished.
"Great app "
Pros: Great app managing my teams objectives, application are extremely user friendly great user experience
Cons: This app is great and it has served its goal, no comments
