Cela permet de réduire considérablement le temps de développement et de lancer rapidement des applications sur le marché.

Inconvénients

Non je n'ai pas de regret dans l'utilisation de cet outils

Avantages

What I have loved most about this platform is how easy and fast it allows me to create and submit inspection forms, with its intuitive drag and drop interface, I can customize my forms to my needs in a matter of a few minutes. But in addition, the ability to use advanced features such as barcode scanning, digital signature and drawing has allowed me to further streamline my inspection processes.

Inconvénients

Sometimes loading media and attachments can take a little longer than expected, especially if the files are a little large. Although this does not happen frequently, in some situations there has been a slight delay in attaching images or documents to my inspection forms.

Avantages

There are so many Pros to Appenate - There's not a single feature that converted us, it was the collective. The support from staff at Appenate is next level good!!! Real people, real support and a pleasure to deal with.

Inconvénients

If I were to be super picky - and I mean super picky, The visuals of the mobile app platform could do with some updating. Now two (2) things about this, 1. If it does what I want (which it absolutely does) then I can get over the visuals & 2. I've been told that this is on the roadmap - so I'm excited to see what these look like.

Avantages

As a technician, I need an app that is on my phone and can use it wherever I go, to create the forms I need for the equipment that I work on and have what I need on these forms.
Apenate provided that for me, and using the app is very easy and dont need an expert.

Inconvénients

I think that would be the lack of ability to upload my desired photos and what I need of pictorials.
These help alot when it comes to working on multiple units and to distinguish between the many equipments.

Avantages

Creating and building forms are not difficult. A lot of features are available. It is a just a matter of spending time learning them.

Inconvénients

I was trying to create a form where data will be summarized. I have asked for assistance to get the result that I want but has not been resolved yet.

Avantages

Ease of use, ease of employee management with different profiles, etc.I found Appenate the strongest product that I tested in terms of function capabilities - Appenate is extremely strong in the calculations and functions that you can manage behind the "scenes" . If you are a supporter of the programming principle to have the power in the app (against the coal face) and not in the server ability, Appenate is best. I prefer that the applications on all the App's do the computing and work, this sends back a "result" and the server power requirements are reduced.

Inconvénients

My biggest concern with the product is that size matters, as soon as you are using more than "x" number of users, the scale swings in the direction of developing an app purpose fit for your use. Development costs then can pay for itself in a calculatable time frame.Specifically in a developing country paying against the $.

Avantages

I could create the forms I needed with just the data I needed to collect

Inconvénients

The programming was a little tough to get used to. I'm not a programmer, but I've taken enough classes to figure it out. The toughest part has been getting Appenate and Sharepoint to cooperate. Once they're on the same page, things seem to run smoothly.

Avantages

First I have to highlight the ease of use, it is not necessary to have IT knowledge to operate the tool. Generating a service order with scheduling is very effective. The signature part in the service order on the cell phone helps a lot in registering the services performed

Inconvénients

It would be very interesting to have a part for uploading images, being able to classify them in different directories

Avantages

Great concept, built on Microsoft enterprise class cloud offerings. Built to work with good and poor or even as bad as no mobile connectivity where upon it will catch up when coverage is restored.
Almost Unlimited potential. Cant think of many modern organisations that wouldn't gain from this solution.
We purchased this to do away with paper (minor improvement), its ended up being our entire business systems for our remote workforce. I cant foresee something arising for this part of our workforce that I wont be able to address with this solution. You cant manage what you don’t measure. Suddenly need to measure some additional parameter that you haven’t previously, for a workforce spread across multiple states in way out of the way locations? About 60 minutes to update a form, add the parameters you now want to measure, test it and deploy it to the entire workforce. It doesn’t come easier than that!

Inconvénients

Cons:- Customer support is mixed, sometimes great other times very poor, some issues unresolved or even acknowledged as issues for 6+ months. Some issues are core to product, not fringe issues. (Workflow as an example)

(Update for Sept 2018, this is an area that has significantly improved, both in their actioning issues and probably my understanding of how best to communicate issues with them. Previous Customer Support score was 2/5 now 4/5)

I also just realised that they offer 3 client apps, one you can brand yourself...which is the slowest to be updated, the Generic Appenate one which is what we use, and new to me is the "Tap-To" client which is used to showcase/test the next general release of the software. Now I can test next release before general release so update day is no longer t be feared....

Avantages

Very easy to set up and get running, we use it to input job information for our electricians and for them to collect close-out documents for their jobs. You can basically make numerous mobile apps for your company and your office staff can use it too and access Dashboard.
We use it for:
Job records
Time Cards
Digital forms
Close-out
Job Photos
Saves everything to cloud storage of your choice
Automated emails

Inconvénients

Nothing really, it's really easy to use.
