I've worked with multiple companies who've had some form of no-code products. In every case, incorporating the full gamut of business requirements entails in too much of configuration and complexity in the UI. At this point, there are only two options left for the user -
1. get trained in the software which itself is time consuming and a challenge
2. ask the vendor company to create the app, which kind of defeats the whole purpose
A few other points -
1. People to whom no-code apps are targeted tend to be in the management rather than the actual users of the system. Management is usually aware of the bigger picture or the more complete workflow.
2. However, managements requirements tend to be more around tracking, reporting and monitoring.
3. The last issue being management tends to get caught up too much in the UI rather than the underlying functionality.
Unless no-code services restrict themselves to a very specific niche with clear workflows and fewer options of customizability, the products are bound to be cumbersome, complex and having a very narrow applicability.
