Looking for a Glide alternative that meets your specific needs? Look no further. Ksaar presents itself as a promising solution, offering advanced features and an optimized user experience. In this article, we'll take a closer look at its distinctive features and the reasons why it could be the best alternative to consider.
A brief presentation of Glide
Created in 2018, Glide is one of the best no-code tools on the market. Initially focused on the creation of mobile applications. Glide soon diversified into web app creation, gradually abandoning its original core business - mobile apps. From the outset, Glide had good intuition concerning the evolution of no-code tools, notably by adopting data-driven design.
To create an application with Glide, simply import a spreadsheet and Glide automatically creates a first, basic version of your application. It's then up to you to customize the design and components. Glide even introduced the notion of actions a few months ago, to increment or decrement a counter for example.
It has to be said that Glide is a very ergonomic tool. Nevertheless, Glide remains rather limited when it comes to certain more advanced functionalities.
A brief presentation of Ksaar
Ksaar lets you create an application either from a spreadsheet, like Glide, or directly by thinking about the application's end-user journey, allowing greater adaptability to your needs and way of doing things.
Ksaar's functionalities are designed to meet specific business needs, such as electronic signatures - for example, having several people sign - or the automatic generation of documents in PDF or docx format. With its latest update, Ksaar offers customization of your applications.
Ksaar vs. Glide: the face-off
Aspect 1: Data management
Ksaar is a 100% French, RGPD-compliant no-code tool whose data is stored in France. Glide, on the other hand, is an American no-code tool. By design, all Glide data is stored on a Google sheet, which represents an advantage on certain points but also raises questions about data security and sovereignty.
Aspect 2: Customization
The latest version of Ksaar allows you to play the customization game right down to the last detail, whether in terms of design or components, where Glide is more limited.
Aspect 3: advanced features
The biggest difference between Ksaar and Glide is, of course, the advanced functionality. Glide has concentrated on a core of fairly basic functions, once the application has been created from the spreadsheet. Ksaar, working in particular with certain customers, has developed highly advanced functionalities to respond to specific business issues. These include automatic document generation (PDF, docx), electronic signature and online payment.
