Which No Code Platform is best for you?
In our previous editions, we have talked about various aspects of No Code development, No Code platforms, their benefits, and why every business needs to switch to No Code. But what after that? Let's say that you are convinced that you should adopt a No Code Platform in your organization, the next question that comes up is how to choose one.
Read through the end, and we're sure, you'll be clear on how to choose a No Code Platform that's best for you.
Nobody knows your business more than yourself, that's why before you go to the market evaluating different platforms you should be clear on why you need a No Code platform. You should do an analysis of all the processes within your organization from Sales to Marketing to know where you are failing and where are you succeeding. It can either be a business process or a set of processes or just a workflow. Every no-code platform is different and therefore is best only for a set of requirements, and although can performs different functions but might not be best at it, therefore an extensive evaluation of the requirement is a necessary first step. You can't change your workflows, so make sure the platform you get can adjust to them.
2. Search for alternatives
This is where your search for the most suitable no-code tool begins. We call it a positive process because you can put as many no-code tools and platforms into your bucket as you need. Sometimes while searching you might come across a tool that is good for one process but not for others, just keep it with you and don't pass judgment so quickly. We will evaluate the platforms that we have searched for in our later steps, but during this step, you have to be aware of all the tools present in the market and make sure to search through them thoroughly.

3. Evaluating the platforms
There are a wide variety of no-code tools present today, all of them unique in their own ways, and that is what makes this step the most important. Choosing the right platform will only end in fulfilling your objectives and therefore evaluating the platforms that you chose in the earlier step is necessary. There are various components to a No Code platform like Integration capabilities, Customization and UI/UX capabilities, Data capabilities, Process capabilities, business logic capabilities, and so on. Every platform would score differently on each of these platforms and that is what makes this interesting. Some tools might have exceptional UI/UX capabilities but might not support complex integrations. Therefore, the IT teams and software engineers from the organization need to evaluate all of the choices to come to a conclusion.
4. Before choosing the platform
After you have evaluated all the platforms, the next and final step is the selection. But before you select a platform, there are certain things that you should keep in mind. Costs often become a big deciding factor in many such technology adoptions and acquisitions, but technology like no code would only end up reducing your operational costs, and there try not to let cost become a deciding factor. You should ask as many questions as you like about the platform to the vendor and take multiple demos. Ask the tech experts from your organization to participate in such demos. Although all the components that you base your decision on are significant to the decision-making process but give special attention to the customization capabilities of the platform because that is what will make all the difference. You don't want your processes to adjust to the tool but the other way around.
5. Selecting the right platform
Now that we have analyzed our requirements, and searched and evaluated the alternatives, the final step is to make a decision. Every platform scored differently on various parameters while we were evaluating the various platforms and the easiest way would be to choose the one that scored the highest, but unfortunately, that's not the way to go. You know your business requirements and expectations from the no-code tool. Now arrange those evaluation components on the basis of the ones most vital to your utilization pattern in descending order and the most suitable platform would be the one that scores highest on the most vital components and optimal on the others.
And congratulations! you have chosen the most suitable No Code Platform for your business.
