Requirement for self-hosting or strict data residency outside the vendor’s hosting footprint Platforms that support self-hosting or provide more granular data residency controls may be more appropriate.
Core product value depends on a highly custom UI/UX If the primary differentiation of the product is bespoke UI/UX, consider platforms that provide more rendering/control or custom development.
Update-heavy workloads with high write volume or automation The Updates quota and associated overage model can be an operational and cost risk; consider alternatives that price on seats or infrastructure for these workloads.
Need to publish native apps to app stores with deep native capabilities If app-store distribution and full native feature sets are required, native frameworks or other platforms may be preferable.

From Capterra criticism:
Glide documents Big Tables as supporting large datasets and publishes customer stories that include ROI statements (for example, customer-published claims of significant annual cost savings). These case studies include operational metrics presented at a customer level.

Glide is a no-/low-code platform for building data-driven business applications (web + mobile-responsive) using a visual builder connected to data sources such as Glide Tables, Google Sheets, Airtable, Excel/Office 365, and higher-scale sources like Big Tables. Enterprise plans also support SQL/BigQuery and several SaaS connectors. Glide is designed to enable rapid delivery of internal tools, portals, and operational apps. It uses spreadsheet-like data modeling and includes built-in UI components, actions/workflows, and AI-assisted features.
