OPSLAB WEBAPP REVIEW

by Feb 11, 2018Web Applications0 comments

Introduction

OPSLAB is basically an online platform where one can create their own data handling applications without the necessity of programming and coding a web app. The application presents an interactive framework in which the user can upload data, view and analyze it online and save it for future reference. The app is basically an online spreadsheet with augmented features such as SQL database storage. This app is revolutionary in the field of data entry and processing and is aimed at making it easier to manage data and online for security purposes.

Features

OPSLAB enables one to create a personalized data management application for commercial use in data analysis. Moreover, it offers storage space for personal data and retrieval at the owner’s disposal which is achieved through generation of detailed reports from the data warehouse. The data can be drag-dropped or uploaded from an excel spreadsheet, or imported from any other storage location. The data warehouse is also capable of storing large files including music and video files.

It has a ‘REST API'(Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) that controls the user’s web or mobile applications interactivity and it also enables a user to access uploaded data instantaneously. Furthermore, the app offers an SQL database storage for storage of a web applications’ data in which data from other web pages can be stored and manipulated. In addition, one can design a web survey form, commonly used as questionnaires, and use it to collect data.

Pros

First, data handling on the app is swift and easy. Spreadsheets containing lots of data adjust to encompass all data values and present neat and readable reports. Since the user can analyze the data to give desired information, it offers considerable ease in terms of usability.

Second, since OPSLAB offers database solutions for web and mobile applications, it minimizes on the monthly cost that owners incur on web hosting services and makes it easy to access the records on their database just by the click of a button.

Moreover, OPSLAB offers a fast reply customer service available to a user always in the chat icon with a reply to a problem granted within a short span of time.

Lastly, data security is essential in handling of sensitive data. A user has to create a personal account before accessing its services and since it offers cloud storage of data, loss or corruption of data is almost impossible.

Cons

The web applications development is inflexible since the user has to use only the provisions offered by the site in the process. The data editing and formatting tools provided are limiting and in no way comparable to other applications such as MS Excel. In addition, the SQL database offered doesn’t support modern APIs for data protection such as password encryption and decryption. Also, data access could be limited if the user’s internet coverage is not reliable and hence causing inconveniences.

Since the user requires additional APIs to connect an app with the SQL database, its tedious and costly and a normal web server would be better.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, with the protected framework of the app and advanced data organization features, its apt to say that it is splendid. However, even though it is a great application with an awesome user interface, it lacks advanced features for data analysis. Its online, its safe, its fast but I would only recommend usage for people and organizations handling small amounts of data. For website developers, if the desired database is to be a simple one with no extra-sensitive data such as credit card details, i would recommend OPSLAB since it would offer a simple interface for storage.
