Would AppSheet be a good option for my use case? Please

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hi there,

I haven’t done my homework yet, as I received a LIST of tools to evaluate, and I personally would like to also evaluate if AppSheet could be added to that list, so then I could invest more time researching AppSheet along side the other tools (Retool, Appian, OpenBlocks, and others). I hope you folks don’t get upset with my question:

Would APPSHEET be a good option to create web apps that:

  • Accelerate the creation of WEB UI for INTERNAL APPLICATIONS (For back office systems, like document validation, update customer information, update banking account information, etc)

  • Access databases in GCP

  • Access EXTERNAL APIs (Like Salesforce, Equifax, and others)

  • RBAC for users in Google (We have all employees in Google today… Google is our enterprise Login)

  • Allow client-side validations as well (even if we know the REST API in the back end will ensure these rules)

  • SSO between AppSheet applications developed by different teams in the same enterprise)

  • Provide Design System to the teams creating INTERNAL apps in APPSheet

  • Code as a first-class citizen in case we need to create something that is not part of the AppSheet Platform

  • Have a great developer experience for the team creating and evolving these AppSheet applications.

We are looking for a tool that would be easy to CREATE and specially MAINTAIN back office UIs that access our REST APIs that contain the business rules (They mainly run in GCP, but some are SaaS products that we use),

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes

Access databases in GCP
Yes with extra cost

Access EXTERNAL APIs (Like Salesforce, Equifax, and others)
Please check webhook feature

Allow client-side validations as well (even if we know the REST API in the back end will ensure these rules)
There is validation on form view for apply rules.

Provide Design System to the teams creating INTERNAL apps in APPSheet.
You can set user permission & roles such as app’s user, admin, etc.
