Absolutely necessary for my daily work
Absolutely phenomenal. Grist is a well-designed product that solves a real issue with respect to data management and reporting. Their team and community is very responsive and I'm really excited to see where it all goes.
PROSEver 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.
CONSThe learning curve wasn't bad but still a learning curve nonetheless. Their support team has been incredibly helpful whenever I ran into issues.

Great for managing critical metadata
I worked on early versions of Grist and I'm so excited to see how far it's come!
PROSIt'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.
CONSIt 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.
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
CONSI 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.
PROSData table management, automation features, open source, API, and the possibilities with in-built webhook capabilities.
CONSLearning 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.

Very happy with my purchase
I have been a heavy Excel users for years and fell in love with this tool. I made a "to do" file that I use daily that is very convenient. For now I could only recommend you to try it.
PROS- Have several views on the same page - Lot of learning contents to get started - Monthly newletter with the updates - The several integrations - Finally found a project to get motivated learning Python for deeper data analysis
CONS- Could be odd at first for Excel users (but nothing really complicated overall)
Vendor Response
Thank you, François! I'm glad Grist is motivating you to learn a little Python, too!

A great software for calculation & statistics
Tuyệt vời
PROSI'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.
CONSNeed to understand Python to use but it is also an opportunity for you to learn new knowledge.

Grist is the best spreadsheet/database online software ever!
Grist helps me to keep track of important business data.
PROSI love how Grist uses the Python language for calculations and formulas. I also like how tables can be connected, as in a database, and I can make my own apps to manage my data.
CONSThere is a bit of a learning curve, but once things click in, it all makes sense.

Thank you so much, Mark!

Grist brings the whole spreadsheet online
Grist really has the potential to be the same bar as Power BI.
PROSGrist brings the whole spreadsheet online and makes it even better with a customizable, shareable report. You can achieve all these with drag and drop like power BI.
CONSI wish Grist had more ready to use templates and better filters for data connections.
