Anyone on the team can make specific changes to the table templates. This saved us a ton of time during the company's liminal space between start-up models and heavy-duty planning software. > > **Cons**: Licensing took a bit of time to figure out, but customer support was helpful. > > SQL Spreads was the perfect tool for our use case. As a rapidly growing company, we found ourselves outgrowing Excel alone but not quite large enough to justify a heavy-duty planning software. We knew the critical dimensions we wanted to plan on, and designed the SQL structure around this. SQL Spreads was the final puzzle piece to build the lightweight planning infrastructure we needed to remain agile yet institutionalize our plans. ----- ### "SQL Spreads a Lifesaver" — 5.0/5 > **Wally** | *February 19, 2025* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: SQL Spreads was an essential solution for our team to have non-technical users interact directly with a central database. They were able to do so in a comfortable and controlled manner using careful design of SQLSpreads workbooks and using an Excel worksheet format they they were already familiar with. > > **Cons**: Would have been nice to be able to easily limit the options for input to a table where our users select from a drop down based upon another SQL Table > > Was a critical tool for an early stage startup to collect and control input of data from a non digital source like farming records and surveys. ----- ### "A Simple Solution That Works Wonders\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mary Anne** | *September 16, 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love this product and the support I receive. It's amazing. As a SQL programmer, it makes my job a lot easier. Using Excel for user interfaces is great because the learning curve for end-users is minimal. I also use it to edit my SQL tables through Excel instead of writing update queries. With SQL Spreads, I can spend my time programming instead of creating and managing user interfaces through inefficient programs that aren't user friendly. > > **Cons**: The only thing I don't like about SQL Spreads is that I didn't find it sooner. > > Customer service in this company is amazing. You get to deal with real people. I even get emails asking how things are going and if there is anything they can do to help. When you need help, they are very responsive and the first person you talk to solves the problem. ----- ### "Essential for our metadata operations" — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *June 12, 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use SQL Spreads to store our spark metadata schemas, which change often. Rather than use SQL statements to update records, we can easily add, update and delete records in just a few clicks, saving time, whilst also visualising our schema database for easier navigation. > > **Cons**: I have yet to find something I do not like. ----- ### "Lightning solution to get data in and managed effectively without a whole load of development time" — 5.0/5 > **Phil** | *July 27, 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: SQL Spreads makes it easy to create data entry and management screens at the speed of lightning - practically instant forms. And when you want more advanced tuning, their support is very dedicated. > > **Cons**: If many Tables/Views are being managed (more than 10), using the Excel Tabs for each one can be a little clunky. But that's rarely the case for any one user's workbook, and the licence allows any number of them. > > Pleasantly surprised at such an obvious solution - use Excel grids for data entry and management (with Primary Key as link). It worked nicely, integrated well with Excel and support was great when needed. Job done, with many opportunities for data maintenance. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1051815/sql-spreads?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1051815/sql-spreads) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
