Awesome no-code app building platform!

Provide useful process support for applications to bridge between other systems or to fill in gaps between main process flows. Easy flow of steps to create applications using "wizard-like" steps. Forms creator follows simple concepts that most people will understand very quickly.

PROS

Simple SaaS architecture, easy to follow instructional tutorials, easy access to support help, very intuitive UI

CONS

Help documentation needs some updates for latest version of application, some concepts like expressions will need advanced skill mentoring likely by vendor or partner.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review Sam, we are delighted to hear you are enjoying using Softools. The team are working hard to keep our documentation in sync with the latest developments and there are plans to deploy an expression builder to simplify this, that said, our team are happy to help with complex logic should the need arise.

Softools App Builder

We have managed to build 3 brand new applications from the ground up and have been provided with excellent support at every stage.

PROS

Product is easy to use, relatively easy to build, integrates well with existing systems and new innovationsare being integrated into the apps all the time. Customer service is brilliant.

CONS

Certain aspects of the build are a little complicated and some support materials could do with updating.

Reason for choosing Softools

The number of different app options avaialble, ease of use and cost.

Reasons for switching to Softools

Needed a cloud-based solution for databases and looking to use Softools apps as the core hub to controlling processes , procedures and regular tasks.

Softools Software Review

As an overall this is a great system, easy to implement and add changes making it a cost effective product.

PROS

Zero code application. Ability to deploy application in hours. Database management and changes are easy to implement and therefore very cost effective.

CONS

The software is missing user friendliness. A couple of areas should require a focus such as spliting the notifications of export, notification messages and notification from the system itself (copy and link). A dedicated area for each of this notification would ease the usage. Ability to adapt colours, font and how to organise the fields in the template (size, position, colour layout etc ...)

Very versatile software, user friendly and visual

It has been a great experience, great people and very knowledgeable supporting your company all the way through design, implementation, and operation. We are extremely happy with Softools.

PROS

User friendly, it doesn't take too long to learn to navigate the system, the apps can be design to be very visual. The capability to work wit other systems like Power BI.

CONS

It has some limitations when it comes down to reporting, however it works with other software to do that.

Reason for choosing Softools

We already used Softools assessments app.

Reasons for switching to Softools

The system we were using had limitations and it was becoming obsolete

Softools - Complex solutions for companies in a short time

It is an excellent software for companies and for freelancers and for project groups,the software gives us the freedom to work in any place around the word and to have each person in the group work separately.

PROS

The advantage is that its modern interface allows me to create and implement enterprise-level DIY applications in a few hours, managing to solve problems as they arise, streamline the work team flow and ensure the success that is required.

CONS

What I liked least about this software is the high price it presents for some advanced tools. As it develops with this good software, it is necessary to use tools that offer greater help and cannot be accessed due to the high cost of workshops for beginners or application portfolio auditing: evaluation of current applications and strategic improvement.

Simple & User friendly tool

Simple and User friendly tool, anyone would love to develop apps in Softools as it's a zero-code version :). The support team is great and awesome, very helpful indeed.

PROS

Very easy to build and deploy the apps. Integration of data from softools to other software seemed to be easier.

CONS

The only thing to be said is the feature of enabling the 'Text size' to be made a bit more bigger. For example: in a text field , the label that gets displayed in the app is too small.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review, in particular your recognition of the Softools team. There are plans in the near future to unlock more UI control, including Label Text Size.

Managing business projects using Softools

I hadn't realised I needed it until I used it! Then the advantages of a simple app with plenty of potential to adapt to meet my exact needs, became apparent. The centralisation of an up-to-date copy of data, particularly where there are several users needing to collaborate and share, is a major advantage. The dashboard feature allows me to gain a simple insight into how each project is progressing whilst allowing me to drill down for more information if I need it.

PROS

It is easy and intuitive to use. It can be tailored to the needs of a business quite simply and with no need for any coding. If you were using it with clients or perhaps with other colleagues, the centrally held information can be updated and shared if required. We had previously used Excel spreadsheets to manage data across several functions but if this information needed to be updated and shared with others, there was always a problem with version control. This problem disappears if you use a Softools app.

CONS

Some of the terminology used across the app was not something I had come across before (e.g. RAID) although it is all used widely across the apps so I got used to it quite quickly. The key is to invest a little time in the beginning, to understand how to tailor the app to your own requirements. It's worth doing this to maximise the benefits of using the app.

It's something that is simple to understand, use and systematically record data

I have been using Softools for more than a year now and after using similar softwares I believe the ease of implementation gives Softools an edge over the rest in the market. Features like exporting templated reports are also very helpful in getting the data across faster and by avoiding human errors. The overall experience has not been positive so far and I am sure with future updates it would remain similar.

PROS

The straightforward approach to data recording is hard to find in web applications. Softools is simple to understand and add data in a structured format. Also the additional features like bulk data imports helped us in getting the data across quickly. Exporting templates in the desired format has also been helpful for us.

CONS

The user interface could be improved to make it more aligned with the rest of webpages on the internet. The sizes of the fonts and the choice of colors for the text could be improved for better user experience.

It is a very useful tool in my opinion. With some more functionality and ability I feel like it would have made my experience even better.

PROS

I have the ability to utilise table and grid fields in meaningful ways. Graphs are useful and relatively straightforward to create and use.

CONS

Some features could be improved. For example, when you import or export a report, you always have to refresh the page for the download notification to pop up.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review and glad you find Softools useful. Our team are continuously working to improve the platform and improved notifications is top of the list and coming very soon along with a nice surprise for handling Grid Field Expressions
