About Grist

Grist is a spreadsheet with the stability of a database that lets you build drag-and-drop dashboards to make the most of your data.

Transform tables into easy-to-read cards, colorful charts, or use familiar spreadsheet formulas (or even the full power of Python). Use Grist’s built-in form builder to gather data through surveys.

Collaborate with others in real time on one set of well-organized data. Work on sensitive data by assigning user access right down to the cell, making sure that everyone has appropriate permissions without duplicating information. No matter what, your data is always yours.

Pros:

Ever since I implemented Grist with my team, our data and project management has been easy sailing. It's so flexible and can be used for so many different uses such as CMS, inventory tracking, rank tracking, product performance, interactive SOPs, and so much more. I use it every day and it's been absolutely essential to my productivity and streamlining team operations in and out of departments.

Cons:

The learning curve wasn't bad but still a learning curve nonetheless. Their support team has been incredibly helpful whenever I ran into issues.

Thank you, Ivan! I'm glad Grist is meeting your needs!

Pros:

It's the only tool where I have confidence that my structured dataset is accurate. With Excel or Sheets, I'm always worried that some data validation is wrong or someone messed with the config. With Grist I can always check the log and quickly validate formulas in one place.

Cons:

It can take a little while to get used to the column-centric design, but once you get the hang of it it's also what provides you with the comfort of knowing your data is accurate.

Unique Software for Spreadsheets

Overall very pleased with Grist and what it allows us to do, taking spreadsheets a step further without it being too complicated (or over-the-budget) to create some tools for daily use.

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

* Impressive UI given the nature of the software (being based on spreadsheets / tables) which isn't very easy to make "pleasing" to work with but i think Grist delivered! * powerful features to bring spreadsheets into database and create connections/relationships between them. * we've used to create CRM for our clients * used to create simple task / project management tool * used to create inventory * good analytics / reports

Cons:

I wish they'd add more tutorials / videos regarding features, use-cases, etc.. there is a decent documentation on grist website but more regular tutorials with real-life examples will make it more accessible for the average user - from my experience anything to do with databases is "complicated" for clients that aren't experts in the field"

Vendor Response

Thank you for leaving a great review, Ninos! We hear you re: videos and tutorials. We'll be making more bite-sized tutorials soon. By the way, if you haven't found it yet, we have a webinar series on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Q9Tu1JOy_4p4g-uS_3LQrB_3Vm7CWe4

The data table management tool for automation geeks

Data visualisation is so much easier with Grist compared to something like Google Sheets. Also, the fact that you can do split views within one screen and build dashboards to update in real-time is really a game-changer. Grist is way faster and performant than Google Sheets when it comes to large amounts of data, which is the point of data management anyway.

Learning curve in using the software to its full potential. But they make it up with regular webinars, tutorial videos, extensive documentation, templates, and use cases.

Pros:

I've been using GetGrist for over a week now and I love it. The interface is so intuitive that even my sister can use it right away. It is also very easy to share data with other team members... I can say that this software is worth every penny! I really like the way it is set up and I can see all my data easily. We also like that it is open source and we can use it for free. I can't say enough good things about this app, I use it every day and it has helped me stay organized in a more organized way.

Cons:

Need to understand Python to use but it is also an opportunity for you to learn new knowledge.
