GridBuddy Connect Reviews & Product Details

GridBuddy is super easy to use - very intuitive. It eases the burden of data entry. Because of that, our users actually keep the data current, which helps our overall analytics and forecasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the nature of displaying several datapoints within the same grid, the layout can sometime yield wasted space. But there are ways to hide/display additional items to help minimize wasted space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how GridBuddy provides the ability to view & mass edit multiple children in the same grid as the parent. With both the flat view and hierarchical view as options, the grid can be configured to best meet users' needs. For instance, if a user is most familiar with a tabular Excel view, the flat view can be very helpful. The tabbed view is also a great way to organize data. It provides an easy to navigate view of data with different filters. By embedding grids on a parent record, it also enables users to edit child objects on the same page. This decreases the number of clicks needed to achieve a task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In our GridBuddy implementations, some of the grids load slowly, which has been raised by end users. Since data is not auto saved in the grid, there is the potential that data is lost if the page is accidentally refreshed. It would be useful to have an auto-save or restore option.

easy to deploy, doesn't require being a developer to deliver functionality that is HUGELY helpful for Salesforce users; this has been one of the easiest ways to help my users work smarter in Salesforce Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

seems like some of their upgrades only partially test compatibility with new standard Salesforce features (eg: when the standard time field was deployed by Salesforce 2 releases ago, the grid doesn't function with a default time set); wish they made it easier to deploy from sandbox to production (using metadata instead of having to export and load in dataloader.... it is so clunky!)

we can mass update/create opportunities and save a lot of time

we can review the business much easier with the grids Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's tough to find something that I dislike. Maybe the performance of gridbuddy if we have a lot of lines showing (around 4000) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can work w/ most major cloud platforms as a front end for data management. Easy to integrate and build amazing applets to improve end user productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited to just grids. Wish they had full feature reports/charts that could drive the Grid data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Gridbuddy is the ease of use and the way the information is presented by reducing the number of clicks and screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gridbuddy is generally used in Salesforce and both of them have there own design style, I know Gridbuddy has provided the new feature to match the style with lightning design system, but still, there are many components which look different, making the screens look different from the salesforce style.

I like the simple UI of selecting/deselecting fields. Step 2 of the Grid Wizard is extremely easy and straightforward to use. I like how I you can visualize related fields and lookups very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not having the ability to arrange the parent and child fields in a custom order. Child records either come before or after parent fields. You can’t intermix them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is the speed at which it creates the reports. The app fetches data from various databases and gives us the right data to work with.

Easy customization is interesting as well. It allows you to make changes to the workflow to match the business processes that your business use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not very happy with the User Interface. It sometimes becomes difficult to go through number of data you are looking at times. App slows down as well. But this is not something to worry about if you are not surrounded by too much of data.

I would prefer it for sales team and order management teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to inline edit. I can create naughty lists and the reps can update right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial set up of a grid has A LOT of options. Would love a template or 2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AppBuddy most importantly saves time and avoids clicks that can be costly. It Also provides a large number of updates via Salesforce for sales opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to customize is key and thats not Appbuddy's strongest piece. App is also slow and needs to improve its User Interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
