The Glide table database is good, and layout easy to use **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** I would like some additional column types to be used, and that lookup columns also could be used as row owners. Additionally, I would like the support to help more in depth with questions regarding how the functionalities can be used in the best possible way **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Order managment tool for managing order flow ### 2. Glide turned our paper-based processes digital, impressing our tech-skeptical director. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2024 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** Absolutely vibing with how Glide has flipped the script for us. What's not to love? This thing is like picking up a new game and instantly knowing the moves. Zero stress on the learning curve, making it a no-brainer for anyone, even for our director who’s usually all thumbs with tech. Getting him on board with Glide for the daily grind was a game changer. Seriously, if Glide can get a tech-dino like him to use it, it's got my vote. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** On the flip side, Glide could up its game with more customization options. Don't get me wrong, what's there is solid, but giving us more freedom to tweak and tailor things could really dial it up. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** For us, Glide primarily solved the challenge of transitioning from cumbersome paper-based processes to a seamless digital system. ### 3. Quick and simple turnaround **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team.

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2024 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** The small learning curve means you'll be up and running in no time. It is a very capable tool that is great to use. Airtable integration is quick and easy. Even as a beginner, I was able to implement a solution within a few days. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Restricted functionality when it comes to customizations. You can only sync an entire Airtable table, not a view. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** It gives me custom views for different users, as well as stronger restrictions that Airtable allows. ### 4. An intuitive well supported lo-code to no-code option **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a review partner **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** I have explored a variety of platforms, and the one thing that I love is how intuitive it is to use. After seeing some videos on use cases, I was able to jump right in and start to use it. There are so many ways to use it, it is infintely adaptable to different uses, and I've only just begun to tap them. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** I would like to see more examples of use cases in the documentation. The documentation is very good at describing what the element/component is, and what you can alter, but many of them lack examples of how you might use it. For example, I recently found the KanBan and it seems to solve the problem of dragging items and sorting them, and this could have many different uses other than just KanBan's. It is great to be inspired to try something in documentation when possible. I also would really like to see an ability to connect to the new GPT-4 API for creating and working with assistants. This is incredibly powerful and although I'm sure I can work it out with the API Call, it sure would be great if it was built into Glide. My guess is that you already are, but sure hope it comes soon, I have some great things I would like to try that use it. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am looking at how to automate aspects of my custom eLearning development company with a blend of automation and AI enhanced automation. ### 5. The fastest & simplest tool to build your internal apps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abdo A. | Lead Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** With Glide, it was easy to quickly build internal apps used by our operations team on a daily basis. It saved hours of work for the eng team and loads of money for our startup. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** App performances would decrease as the data size increased, forcing us to backup daily and remove data. Performance has drastically improved recently but remains a significant concern and headache. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** With Glide we were able to build apps used by our operations team and our partners making it way faster and organized to fulfill daily operations for our business. ### 6. Great for prototyping and internal apps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2024 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** Speed to build a great looking app. I can build a user facing MVP in half a day. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Initial app load time is slow and sometimes (often) times out. "Could not load network resouroces" high per user pricing and max number of users at 25k means it cant be used for scaling. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building Apps fast ### 7. Best No-Code Development for your MVP! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ahmad Fadlan A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google One Tap using a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** I've been using Glide to develop my MVP in my last two companies. It's really convenient to develop and validate your ideas especially if you're someone that love using Google Sheet as your starting DB. One thing that I really like is the amount of direct integration that is really convenient to use (i.e., Google, Zendesk, DocAutomator Integration). **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Two things that are painful for me: 1. Update from Google Sheet to Glide would takes 2-10 minutes eventho I've turned on Extra Syncing. Glide need to find a way to improve this 'cause it is extremely painful to trigger the update everytime using the Dashboard. 2. Limitation of Number of Private Users, currently I'm on Business Plan but 100 Private Users is such a small numbers for the amount of money I've spent per month. Either charge the extra Private Numbers (w/o switching to enterprise), or if they're kindly enough, raise the number of private users for Business Plan. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Validating ideas to MPV ### 8. Great starting point for small and medium business owners **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tanzi K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** It's great for internal tools and customer-facing platforms (when you need a sign-in option). I like that you don't have to think about the design much, it looks nice and sleek from the start. Some may find the design options limiting but it works if you want to build an app quickly. The company is growing fast and rolling out new cool things often, with many great integrations. They are also helpful in the community + lots of learning opportunities online (Glide University, YouTube, Glide Community). **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** It still feels like it's a starter tool - design-wise and data structure-wise. Push notifications don't work as well (I have a classic app that hasn't migrated yet). And there is a huge hustle with all the legacy plans because their pricing structure has evolved so much so it feels sometimes they can't make it straight. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Build customer portals quickly. As an agency, I can show my clients my work very quickly and be within their budget. ### 9. Really great no-code tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sonja R. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2024 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** The drag-and-drop functionality and intuitive design make it incredibly easy to use. I was able to build a fully functional app in just a few hours without any prior coding experience. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Limited to the features available within the platform, but they cover most basic needs. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building Apps for customers ### 10. I highly recommend Glide for building web apps. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pablo F. | Amazon Seller Pro, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** Pros: -Application of DB concepts -Intuitive tools for logical views -Robust "backend" tools, aka "actions," simplifying many data processing tasks **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Cons: -Most tasks need to be done the "Glide" way -Takes time to grasp the no-code logic, figuring out where to click! **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a web developer diving into no-code app development for the first time, here's what I've gathered about Glide: Understanding that "Everything happens in the database" is key. Once you grasp this concept, the flow of "no-coding" involves: -Creating the table column -Defining the necessary data/computed tasks -Displaying it on the view Conclusion: If you enjoy coding, using a no-code tool might seem tedious and sometimes boring, but the speed of creating an app from scratch is 10x faster. I highly recommend Glide for building web apps. ### 11. Glide - honestly the single best piece of software I've ever used (that's after 35 years in tech) **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** William S. | Chief Operating Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** Extremely easy to use and learn. Fantastic educational resources with how-to videos and a great certification course. I took the course the first weekend after getting an account and deployed my first app by the Monday AM (the gent who does their training videos is so good, so easy to listen to - great cadence and tone, keeps my attention no matter how long the video). Insanely good user experience. Feature rich - especially around the interface, both in terms of building applications, but also deploying them in a mobile first way. The way they integrated AI into the platform is so smart - I haven't seen another team take nearly as logical an approach. It's a total game changer for things like voice to text, summarization of text and sentiment analysis (to name a few). Great team - I've reached out a few times and each Glider I've interacted with has been fantastic. Strong community of supporters and helpers who believe in the mission and support others around them - something I aspire to start doing soon, which is something I've never done for another tech platform before. Glide, and those around it, are really special. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Very little to be honest. There are a few features, that I expect will come over time - like multi choice sorting (sort by this, then that). Today you can only sort by 1 field. You can't re-sort data in the data editor, only in the layout UI. Same thing with grouping - would love multi-level grouping (group by this, then that). But these are such small nitpicks in terms of the product. I'd love to see a pricing level between business and enterprise - or a way to add things like SSO or 10M row tables to the business plan, for a fee of course. Or simply another value lever to use as a multiplier at the enterprise tier, so one can get the benefits of enterprise and have their costs grow as their use grows - better alignment of cost and value. This is not a dislike - it's more of a wish ... I wish there was an app (like Airtable has) for development, in addition to the web UI. And an ability to develop offline and sync changes when reconnected the way the applications do with data. Airtable doesn't have that ... and for those of us who fly a lot and like to use that time in the air productively, this would be amazing. My last 'wish' - again, not a dislike, just something Airtable did really well was field level permissions. Glide has this killer concept called 'row owner' where a row of data can be associated with a user and only made available to that user (like a filter) so you don't have to create a different apps or tables based on a user or customer who's data you want to keep separate. It's very smart. I wish it extended to the field level, which I realize can be a bit of overhead, but is incredibly powerful and I think somethign that would be really useful as Gliders deploy bigger and more complex enterprise applications. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** All major flows in our business. We evaluated a number of ERP systems, large and small, and decided to go the no-code route and focus on the big flows that drive our business. Sales Orders, Work Orders and Purchase Orders (all integrated to our financial package) ... CRM and Sale Forecasting, Production and QA/QC, Warehousing, Inventory and Shipping ... Customer (Field) Service with Customer Dashboards and Portals. That's just the starter list ... ### 12. The Platform of Tomorrow **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Derek H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** While we've only been using it for a few weeks at this point, Glide has already revolutionized the way we work and collaborate at my nonprofit. If the only thing it did was integrate with our disparate data sources and allow us to turn them into relational databases with intuitive, easy-to-use frontends, that would be enough (dayenu). But when you add to that Glide AI and the ability for us to convert unstructured data into structured data, and then to run AI-driven analysis on that data without jeopardizing the integrity of our data as a whole, it becomes a true G-d-send. Glide is going to allow us to replace many of the generic apps on which we relied, despite them not interfacing with our existing data, with custom apps, built in-house to natively integrate with our data and systems. I cannot overemphasize how much of a game changer Glide has already been and will continue to be for our organization. My team and I are already using it on a daily basis, and the ease of implementation has made it a breeze to onboard team members into creating their own custom apps. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** There are very few things for me to complain about, though one is definitely customer support. As a Business-level member, I would expect there to be some degree of live support. The documentation is pretty good, and the community is one of the most robust I've encountered outside of the open source world, but having someone to answer questions about the platform in livetime would make the experience much smoother. There are also areas of the documentation that would benefit from being fleshed out a bit. Many times over the last few weeks I've looked for the answer to what felt like an obvious question about a built-in Glide feature only to find that it wasn't covered in the documentation, and it was only after scouring the Community and videos on Glide University that I was able to find the answers. A prime example of this was when I tried to understand why certain columns would not allow me to set them as Row Owners and was unable to find a suitable answer anywhere in the Documentation but ultimately found the answer in one of Bob Pettito's videos. And don't even get me started on the 3-day-long headache that was trying to get to the bottom of why the image upload component wouldn't recognize the multi-image column in a fully native Glide table. These are things I shouldn't have to turn to third-parties for answers to... My other complaints are considerably more minor. Things like: it would be hugely beneficial for Actions not to require direct user interaction (e.g. time-based actions); or why can't I set the target for non-Glide links? (I created my own workaround using conditional actions, but that shouldn't be necessary.) **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Here is a non-exhaustive shortlist of apps Glide has allowed my team and I to build so far that are changing the way we work: - A dedicated website/app for our bi-monthly community newspaper - A custom-built project management platform that gets us off of Basecamp and allows us to better communicate with our internal and external clients - An AI-powered expense tracking system that eliminates hours of managerial labor reconciling receipts to expenses - Custom-built tracking systems for maintenance and IT requests - An AI-powered feedback system for our members to provide open-ended comments and complaints that are converted into structured, actionable data - A digital sign-in/sign-out system that replaces our existing pen and paper system, and will allow employees who are on-premises to mark themselves safe during an emergency - A volunteer platform that will enable us to act as a central clearinghouse for volunteer opportunities around the community while allowing the host organizations to vet and approve candidates on their own - An audio tour app for our in-house art gallery that will allow asynchronous, self-guided tours of our rotating exhibits The ways these solutions are benefitting us range from increasing in member satisfaction to decreasing time spent by employees on busy work to ensuring the safety of our employees at a time when we are unfortunately seeing an increase in threats. ### 13.

Also the price for the business plan :D **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** It han give me a legal chatbot for testing a MVP project ### 14. The only true NO-CODE platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel T. | Founder, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate.

Beyond its seamless integration with spreadsheet know-how, Glide excels in delivering exceptional user experience and design, elevating every app to a stunning visual standard **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** It is more expensive than alternatives like Bubble API integrations only in Business plans **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glide helps me to create business management software fast ### 15. Created a new "No-Code department" in the company i work in **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Danny N. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** This review is based on request from Glide to make review. I have low level knowledge of other No-Code platforms. It does what it says on the box. Glide is particularly suitable if you have experience with sheets/excel as the underlying database resembles these. I use Glide for internal IT systems in a company with 170 employees, and our "regular IT department" (which has 20 people in India) cannot keep up. Today's C-suite expects rapid changes and new products, and No-Code fits in perfectly. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Featured features in community videos (what's coming in 2023) are not yet fully implemented. PDF generation is challenging when it comes to more complex reports. Simple "one page" PDFs work well with affiliate integrations, but more complex PDFs require HTML PDF setups. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** case management ### 16.

I also don't like that I can't modify the layout on a test data structure and then migrate it to the production data structure (with automated consistency checks, for example). **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creation of an MVP ### 17.

The creator of the template was tremendously helpful with any questions I had. Our app is used daily to keep track of how many points each house has earned by exhibiting positive behaviors. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** When I had some issues, I couldn't contact Glide directly. I had to post on the community page but luckily heard back from someone within a few days. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using it to help us keep track of "house points" with our new behavior plan for my school. It was easy to use when my principal asked me to create an app **Official Response from Darren Humphries:** > Thank you for the great review, Briana! So great to see you are using Glide in your school! ### 18.

And many applications are going to build with Glide **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Glide can improve in it plans. For example, the update are strong restrictions. also the number of rows. Must have more flexibility to use database platforms, for example connect to other databases.

FOr us, Its the main reason for nt build big application with Glide **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** We make a applciation for Intelectual Property, and a provider cost too much money. In Glide we ourself do that in only 2 months. Security is important and we make a complex roles. Also we make 5 applications PLMs. And Now we are building a Payroll interfaces. Glide must to improve with the number of rows and and especially with the updates, because is a limitation **Official Response from Darren Humphries:** > Javier, so glad you are enjoying Glide! You mentioned other databases...they're coming! We are beta testing bigquery now and it should be rolling our in a matter of weeks.

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** I like that glide is inexpensive, and the support team is very quick with the help they offer. It is fairly easy to use and build with for someone who isn't technologically advanced. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** I dislike that glide is missing basic and simple features like push notifications, and the ability to send pictures and voice messages through the chatrooms. Also automated notifications aren't available, which is pretty rough for my App's business model. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** For me, my app is my business. So Glide is allowing me to have an affordable working model. It allowed me to bring my vision to life, which I am really super grateful for. ### 20. The fastest way to build an app - if you're not a developer. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim G. | Founder, Business Developer, Project Manager, Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** The ease of use and how fast you can actually master it and build something useful. The only think you need basically is a bit of a background with Excel and watch a few video tutorials. The apps always look great no time required. Distribution of the apps is also great. The new AI integrations, API functionality and new databases make it very powerfull. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** For very large projects at the moment I would not recommend it yet, however they recently added SQL tables so will need to check that out. Depending on the number of updates and functionality you want (e.g.: AI) it can get quite expensive, however you have saved a lot of money in development hours offcourse. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quickly build internal applications powered with AI. Manage my team of key users and automate project management tasks. Set-up internal tools for the business and for myself. **Official Response from Darren Humphries:** > Hey Tim, thanks for the review! We love seeing how you are using Glide and pushing boundaries! So you know, we have Bigquery integrated now and it should be available on Enterprise plans within a couple weeks! Also, in Q1 we will be working on SQL datasources. Exciting, right?! Timezones support is now in Glide! In the date/time column settings you will see a setting with a checkbox for "Respect Time Zones". Onboarding is something you would need to build into your app and I do this regularly. If a person is a new user I hide all app content until they complete their profile and then the app content is revealed. Very useful! ### 21.

Glide and its no-code approach have allowed me to build complex workflows and services. I can experiment and trial to my heart's content. It has put enormous power in my hands. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** When a form overlay is invoked by a button I dislike that some of my variables from the view that called the form are unavailable in the form view. Secondly, Glide assumes users are businesses or profit-making individuals. I would love to use the locked features in higher tiers, but my apps for my own productivity. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glide allows me to create my own productivity and workflow apps without the need to pay for development. I am building a research operations and user research session app that allows me to manage stakeholders, objectives and research data. ### 23.

It is very easy to design a good application as well Airtable integration works very nicely **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** While very customizable, there are still a lot of design elements still missing in Glide. The pricing was better before, where they would allow 500/1000 external users. Now the pricing is per user. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Glide as a front-end for my Airtable base. It allows me to create internal tools and client portals, accessing my Airtable data in a very user-friendly interface. ### 24.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** It's so intuitive that you can create an app to share information with many people without needing a manual. I was able to quickly set up a sign-in screen exclusive to specific domains. The domain specification feature is also useful for creating easy-to-remember URLs. I find it very exciting to think about what kind of app I'll release next. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** The Starter plan is insufficient if you want to utilize extensive features like PDF creation. Upgrading to the Pro plan is necessary. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glide solves the problem of needing to share information instantly and allows for quick editing and additions without the need to write code. There's no need to individually email or chat with each employee, significantly reducing work hours. ### 25. Highly intuitive no-code platform. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** joonas T. | Online course creator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** The way glide apps are build is unique and highly intuitive and almost addictive. I really like how the API call is now incorporate into the software and the inbuild Glide AI tools are really good. It's so easy to incorporate AI elements to my apps. It's like I can code with "human language" now. :D **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** I don't have any major complaing about the platform. It seems that sometimes the actions repeat it self when I'm running them or maybe they skip some parts, but it can be just my user error too. One future improvement could be that when I ask an API to return binary data, I could somehow store that in the glide tables or even turn them into files righ in the software. It could save me the use of Make.com when asking for files with the API. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Right now I'm using Glide as my frontend to a AI bot that uses many external serciese with the Glide API. It allows me to create a super app, from all the other services my client use. **Official Response from Darren Humphries:** > Joonas, thanks so much for the review! Indeed, all of us Glide users would love to have unlimited rows...but that's not quite possible. What I can tell you is that we are currently testing 100k rows as well as a Big Query connection which gives you access to as close to unlimited as I think we are going to get. Stay tuned! ### 26. Very easy to use tool for no code app building **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mohsen H. | Principal Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** I ultimately accepted Glide after doing extensive investigation for a no-code, mobile-friendly, database-driven authoring solution. I spent a lot of time watching YouTube evaluations, but you can never be sure of a platform's potential unless you actually use it for a while. What appeals to me about Glide are its numerous system integrations, a community of giving contributors, and the regularity of new upgrades. Glide is a tool for creating useful data-driven web applications. Don't anticipate having extensive control over the UI. This may seem restrictive if you're a designer. Overall, I'm satisfied with my educational path thus far. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Since I used it for sometime, I think there are still few things which might be improved in it. I suggest following improvements What about a dashboard that allows business leaders to assign tasks and track their progress? It would simplify working with developers. Glide would feel more like an actual community if there were more webinars, forums, and events. We may all benefit from one another! **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Many businesses often need small utilities for different task automations. Normally company needs to hire freelance or in house programmers to accomplish that. Quick app prototype is quick with Glide apps. It eliminates requirements for an expert developer and thus saves time and money. ### 27.

Over my two years of use, I've found that Glide empowers me to swiftly transform ideas into functional applications, enabling efficient iteration and informed decision-making. Its combination of a user-friendly interface, rapid development capabilities, extensive customization options, data integration features, and robust community support make it an indispensable asset in my product management toolkit. - Rapid Prototyping and MVP Creation: Glide's intuitive drag-and-drop interface lets me quickly build Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) that I can use to validate hypotheses and gather feedback from stakeholders. This agility is invaluable in the early stages of product development. - Customization and Branding: The platform's extensive customization options allow me to create apps that align with branding and design preferences. This is essential for presenting a professional and cohesive image to users and stakeholders. - Data Integration and Workflows: Glide's ability to integrate with various data sources and create dynamic workflows enhances the functionality of the apps I develop. This is crucial for implementing complex features and delivering meaningful user experiences. - Community and Knowledge Sharing: The vibrant Glide community provides a wealth of resources, from templates to tutorials. Engaging with this community has helped me solve challenges, learn best practices, and discover innovative solutions. - Efficiency in Full-Stack Development: Glide reduces the need for extensive coding, allowing me to focus on the front-end experience while still facilitating connections to backend services. This efficiency accelerates development timelines and reduces the barrier to entry for non-technical creators. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** While I find Glide to be an exceptional platform, there are a few areas that I believe could benefit from improvement. Over my two years of use for hypothesis validation, MVP creation, and project development, I've identified some aspects that could be enhanced to provide an even more seamless and effective experience. These areas include the need for more advanced customization options, limitations in handling complex data relationships, occasional performance hiccups, integration challenges with certain external services, and potential limitations in scaling for larger projects. - Advanced Customization Options: While Glide offers solid customization capabilities, more advanced users might require finer control over design elements and layout. Additional tools to tweak CSS or further customize the user interface would be a welcome addition. - Handling Complex Data Relationships: When dealing with intricate data relationships or complex data structures, I've encountered limitations in Glide's ability to handle them seamlessly. Improving the system's ability to manage these scenarios would enhance its versatility. - Performance Consistency: Although Glide is generally fast and responsive, there have been instances where app performance suffered, especially as the complexity of the app increased. Enhancing performance consistency across different app sizes and functionalities would be valuable. - Integration Challenges: While Glide integrates well with several data sources, there have been cases where integration with specific external services proved challenging. A more robust and streamlined process for integrating with a wider range of services could improve the overall integration experience. - Scalability for Larger Projects: While Glide is fantastic for MVPs and smaller projects, it might face scalability challenges when dealing with larger and more complex applications. Optimizing the platform's capabilities to accommodate larger datasets and more intricate workflows would be advantageous. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glide addresses a range of challenges that are intrinsic to the realm of product management and development, resulting in substantial benefits for users like me. As I've leveraged the platform for hypothesis validation, MVP construction, and project realization over the past two years, I've observed how Glide has effectively tackled these problems, allowing for streamlined workflows, accelerated development cycles, and informed decision-making. - Rapid Prototyping and Validation: Problem: Traditional development methods often entail time-consuming coding, hindering rapid hypothesis testing and validation. Benefit: Glide empowers swift prototyping and MVP creation, enabling me to validate hypotheses and gather feedback from stakeholders promptly. - Complexity in Development: Problem: Creating apps, especially MVPs, can be complex and resource-intensive, making it challenging to iterate quickly. Benefit: Glide simplifies app development through its user-friendly interface, allowing me to focus on functionality and design without wrestling with intricate code. - Cost and Resource Efficiency: Problem: Developing fully functional apps can be costly in terms of both time and resources, especially for startups or small projects. Benefit: Glide significantly reduces development costs by minimizing the need for extensive coding and expediting the creation of functional apps. - Iterative Refinement: Problem: Traditional development cycles often lack the agility required for rapid iteration and continuous improvement. Benefit: Glide's intuitive platform supports iterative refinement, helping me fine-tune app features and user experiences quickly in response to feedback. - Technical Barrier for Non-Coders: Problem: Not all product managers possess coding expertise, which can create a barrier to developing functional apps. Benefit: Glide empowers non-technical users like me to create apps with ease, breaking down the technical barrier and enabling direct involvement in the app development process. ### 28.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** In today's bustling digital age, isn't it a relief to find a tool that values simplicity and efficiency? Glide does precisely that, serving as a breath of fresh air for app development. Ease of Use: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glide is refreshingly straightforward. Its interface does away with the unnecessary, letting users focus on what truly counts. The drag-and-drop feature, coupled with real-time syncing to Google Sheets, feels effortlessly efficient – like everything's been optimized just right. Community & Support: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glide's community feels like a bustling marketplace of ideas – think GitHub but for app enthusiasts. It’s a space where users freely swap insights, backed by evolving forums and tutorials. The customer support? Think of them as your go-to tech guardian angels.

Overall Rating: 5/5. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Glide certainly has its merits, but let's pull back the curtain on some areas where it doesn't quite hit the mark. Over-simplicity: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Glide's mantra of simplicity, its pride and joy, occasionally feels like a double-edged sword. For basic projects, it's a dream. But for those with grander ambitions, aiming to weave intricate functionalities and customizations, Glide can feel somewhat restricting. It’s like being handed a compact toolbox when you were gearing up for a full-fledged workshop. Integration Lock-in: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ The Google Sheets integration is undeniably clever, but also feels a tad limiting. In a world that's leaning into decentralization and open web ideals, having broader options for data sources is a must. It's a bit like being handed the keys to a single room when the promise was of an entire mansion. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is allowing me to create in-house software solutions for our small business. Glide is a great companion when it comes to deploying quick solutions for complex problems. ### 29.

I also do like being able to use the Glide tables, but I'm limited compared to what I can do in Google Sheets, however, there is too much of a delay time between Google Sheets and Glide. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows me to get information from my business's system directly to my clients' phones. Because of the amount of info I'm able to give them in real time, it reduces the number of calls, texts, and emails I receive. It's really a win-win for all parties involved. ### 30.

Excellent no-code tool for building your first prototype for your idea! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Junhyun K. | Founder / CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate.

It also has the potential to ramp up to be complex and powerful with all the integration and tools that it possess **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Not all the tools or logic are there and some functions require clever setting up multiple columns in tables to output the right result. There is limited options in terms of customization of the visual appearance of the app. Even if there is a paid plugin that enables me to do this - like a canva inside Glide, would be very useful and I would pay for this. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps me quickly put together a working prototype for my idea that helps me validate the idea with potential customers and also for me to review and refine the workflow of a potential process (buying, browsing, saving profile etc) Glide also helps me save alot of money on hiring engineers (who are unproven and may not be that efficient) in validating very early stage ideas. This also helps me provide a template to use to hire an engineer later to create an app. ### 33.

Directions in the company that restrict access to features in lower tiers, it inhibits ingenuity and makes it harder to proof concpets as a no-code developer. **Recommendations to others considering Glide Classic:** If you're looking for an app-making platform Glide is probably the easiest to get started with. I have tried others such as Bubble and Adalo, Glide is more accessible. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** They have solved the problem of providing useful computed-database-centred digital presence, so that we can provide an internal app for our business. **Official Response from Darren Humphries:** > Thanks so much for this review! Indeed, we are always looking for ways to make Glide even more useful and always easier and faster than anyone else. ### 38. Best No Code Solution For Small Businesses & Organisations With Limited Resources **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sarah B. | Community Launcher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** Glide is a one size fits all solution, for small to large organisations and teams, for optimizing workflows, collecting and sharing data, while still keeping your database and information hubs in house. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** There is nothing I dislike about Glide. As a small business owner they have everything I could ask for and more. The community is awesome, the self-help guides are solid and they are always listening to users on how to make it better and more intuitive. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glide apps has allowed us to collect data from the field in real time and communicate effectively with our team members who work remotely, and at different times. We've been able to carve out our workflows into various tiers using a single database with various access levels on editing, viewing and adding to the data. ### 39. Glide - my assistant in school work and for personal needs **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vjera B. | Computer Science Teacher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** One of the most beneficial aspects of Glide is its versatility and ease of use. Educators and students can create interactive and engaging mobile apps without extensive coding knowledge. With Glide, educators can design customized apps for various educational purposes, such as delivering course materials, conducting assessments, and facilitating collaborative projects. It enables seamless communication and sharing of information between teachers and students, enhancing the learning experience. Glide's regular updates and improvements ensure educators access new features and functionalities, enhancing its educational utility. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Like all schools in Croatia, our school has a limited budget, so we cannot have the school pay for a subscription, even though the educational plan is really favorable. It would be great if Glide could provide us with one project's premium features, but if we want to publish it publicly, we must pay. So, I suggest a payment per project, not per team, to make it easier to assess the cost and consider subscribing. Other dislikes or comments I don't have, Glide is brilliantly designed! **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Glide for creating educational content and efficiently organizing educational materials. Glide also simplifies the administration of educational activities and helps me tackle administrative tasks. Instead of using paper forms, I create a simple and intuitive mobile application in Glide that assists me in organizing and tracking educational content and administrative duties. This leads to improved productivity and a better experience for me, my colleagues, and my students. ### 40. User Friendly Web App Builder! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** Glide allowed us to very quickly do up a web app, the UI is very simple to understand and the end product looks professionally made. It's also very easy to integrate external apps into pages, and implement features that we need like in app buttons or video embeds. We also contacted the customer service often, who advised us the appropriate tiering that was best for our use case, and helpful for workarounds when the base app didn't have some fringe features we needed. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** I think some feature sets can be improved - like notifications sent to users which is currently being worked on but not yet perfect. Needs to have the option to password protect pages as well. 2FA and Magic Link logins can be sped up (some users currently receiving login details after a few minutes) **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** We utilised Glide to build an event app relatively quickly for hundreds of users, as we needed a platform that didn't require our users to download an app. For this, Glide was perfect. ### 41. Great for short or long term **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jon M. | Senior Soltions Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** The amount of continued development they are giving. When I first used Glide in 2020 I thought, "this is fine, but it's lacking so much integration. Now in 2023 my company is still using it. We have launched 40ish apps throughout our use and while we might want some new features it gets better every time. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** The main thing everyone would say. It's not a real app. They can't go to the playstore or app store to find it. They have to add the weblink as a bookmark, but that's nothing new. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** A place for clients to get all their data and resources from events, virtual or in person we have done both and it's worked well. We have done 90 day programs and two year programs. ### 42. Great value, excellent service, robust product **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sales I. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** I haven't even gotten into the integrations yet, and this platform has proven to be exactly the solution we've been looking for. Super easy to set up, the apps themselves are user-friendly and attractive so that adoption has been smooth and rapid. So many features I haven't even explored yet, and the integration with Airtable works great. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** One thing that would improve on Glide would be to somehow facilitate reading linked records in Airtable, as I have to create a new field that creates a text version of the linked record in order for Glide to read it. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're using it for internal business processes, making interoffice communications and workflows smoother with less redundancy and margin for error. It's working wonders. ### 43. Great no code development platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** I was able to modify a template app and set up a purchasing app to track our orders. Glide is easy to use and development was quick. It is great to be able to tweak as required. Glide is easy to use, has a good selection of features and produces good clean interfaces. There is good documentation, forum support and videos to follow. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** There are some limitations on what Glide can do, but this didn't stop me being able to achieve what I wanted to accomplish. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Needed an app to track our purchases. We can now track what is on order, who for and what division to invoice. Also we can look back at orders if needed. ### 44.

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** What I most appreciate about Glide is its ability to simplify mobile app development. The platform offers a user-friendly interface and powerful features that allow for the efficient creation of high-quality apps. Furthermore, the ease of integration with different services and the flexibility to customize the appearance and functionality of the apps are highly positive aspects. In summary, what I value most about Glide is its capacity to streamline and simplify the mobile app development process, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals, regardless of their programming experience. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** One area that could be improved in Glide is the complexity of advanced customization. While it is easy to create simple and functional apps, customizing the interface and behavior of certain elements to meet the specific needs of more complex projects can be challenging. Additionally, the initial learning curve can be steep for individuals with no prior experience in app development, although Glide has made efforts to provide educational resources and support. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glide is a tool that addresses several issues related to the use of Google Sheets, providing a more efficient and secure approach to mobile app creation. One of the main challenges that Glide tackles is the complexity and inherent limitations of spreadsheets, which can become daunting when dealing with large volumes of data or when creating interactive interfaces. I benefit from Glide by using its "Poka Yoke" functionality for Google Sheets, which translates into an error-proof approach to app creation. This means that Glide helps prevent common errors and ensures that data is handled accurately and consistently. Furthermore, it simplifies the creation of mobile apps from spreadsheet data, saving time and effort while delivering a more intuitive and enjoyable experience for end users. In summary, Glide addresses common challenges related to Google Sheets, making the process more efficient and precise, resulting in significant benefits for its users. ### 46.

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** I love how quick it is to make an app. It's easy to get an app up and running by starting from a template, and it's easy to make your app live for people to use it. I like how they have courses and lessons to make it easier to learn how to get started building. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** I've noticed some friction with trying to log in to my account, and it can be a bit buggy at times. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glide is solving the problem of how quickly it is to get an app up and running for people to use on your team. It does take having some prior knowledge of coding logic, but I like how it's easy to drag and drop components to design the app. ### 47.

Creating data models and testing them against requirements can be done quickly and the best part is how easy it is to action on that data directly within the database. Using advanced APIs is just a click and building UI is insanely easy. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Getting table relations down correctly can be a bit confusing at time. Certain column types may not be valid to be used for certain functions leading to tables with a very large number of columns. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fast development of solutions for customers. We need to colve problems today, not in 6 months. Glide enables that with ease. ### 48.

With a bold and unique approach to AI. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Tuning the user interface is somewhat tedious, for a no code paltform there a way to many low level CMS code like tweeks that are not completely documented to be usefull. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** From global sales reporting, shopfloor control, engineering portal, global customer monitoring to claims management ### 49.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** The simplicity and ease with which we can do anything, sometimes using workarounds, but I have already made 11 apps so far, including 1 CRM app, 1 production control app, 1 delivery app, 1 financial management app, 1 meeting room scheduling app, 1 expense management app for the company, among others. In other words, very versatile! **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** I don't like some bugs, sometimes interface bugs can embarrass us in meetings. It has happened to me before. Another thing that I'm not sure if I can consider negative or if it's already in the plans to be done is the lack of a possibility to integrate with a report generator like SQL's Report Create. I would also like loop functions in the action manager. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** The simplicity and ease with which we can do anything, sometimes using workarounds, but I have already made 11 apps so far, including 1 CRM app, 1 production control app, 1 delivery app, 1 financial management app, 1 meeting room scheduling app, 1 expense management app for the company, among others.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Glide Classic?** What I like best about Glide is its user-friendly interface and the ease of turning spreadsheets into beautiful, functional apps. The drag-and-drop feature makes it extremely easy to design apps, even if you don't have a coding background. The real-time updates from spreadsheets to the app are seamless, which makes data management efficient. Glide's ability to integrate with Google Sheets is also a significant advantage, allowing for easy collaboration and data sharing. The ample template options and customizable features ensure that the app can be tailored to the specific needs of the project. Additionally, the support community is very active and helpful, which is a great resource when running into challenges or looking for inspiration. **What do you dislike about Glide Classic?** Performance issues with larger apps: As the complexity and size of your app grow, there may be some performance issues. Glide can sometimes be slow to load or update apps with large amounts of data. Limited offline functionality: Glide apps need internet access to work optimally. While there is some offline support, it's limited and might not suit all use cases, especially for users who frequently need to work without internet access. **What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glide is solving several key problems in the realm of operations management and scaling, particularly in the context of creating technology-driven solutions and enhancing transparency. Ease of App Development: Glide simplifies the process of creating mobile applications. As a repackaging business, we have leveraged this platform to develop an operations management app, which enables our teams to monitor and manage our operations without the need for extensive programming expertise. This has significantly reduced the time and resources traditionally required for app development. Real-time Data Management: Glide's integration with Google Sheets allows for real-time data updates. As changes are made in the spreadsheet, they automatically reflect in the app. This feature is particularly useful in our operations where real-time information is crucial for decision-making, problem-solving, and maintaining workflow continuity. Scaling Operations: As our business grows, the ability to quickly and easily update our app to accommodate new processes or scale existing ones is invaluable. Glide’s flexibility and ease of use mean we can adapt our operations app to our needs as they evolve, without having to hire a team of developers or invest in costly software upgrades. Increasing Transparency: Glide has also fostered greater transparency within our operations. By consolidating data from various processes into a single app, we've made it easier for team members to access and understand our operations. This has improved communication, collaboration, and overall efficiency. Additionally, it has enhanced accountability, as actions taken within the app are traceable and visible. Automation and Efficiency: By automating routine tasks and processes through the app, we have been able to streamline our operations, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors. This has increased our operational efficiency and allowed our team to focus on more strategic, value-adding tasks. In conclusion, Glide has been instrumental in our journey towards a more technology-driven and transparent operational structure. It has helped us scale effectively, maintain real-time oversight of our operations, and foster a culture of accountability and efficiency. - [View Glide Classic pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/glide-glide-classic/reviews?page=6§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-21+18%3A26%3A15+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=34b94430-7d44-4f40-b2c1-c0e216b1b607&secure%5Btoken%5D=f1fab5e75f51abc51a010379a1cf3355fde0577cf0ff27fd41c5051279056971&format=llm_user) ## Glide Classic Integrations -
