WaveMaker Reviews & Product Details

The ease of design and the online IDE are pretty slick. Easy of integration of data services is amazing, would rival Servoy or File Maker. I first looked at this when looking for a viable alternative to Servoy. The data layer was was pricked my interest. Its very easy to build back end data services to connect with virtually any database.

Its taken a long time to get to a usable state. I have been playing with this for over two years.

We are building agile business applications deployed to private cloud for our clients within the Oil and Gas industry.

Management is super simplified when you don't have to worry about a zillion physical connections. Being able to scale down a datacenter by moving 10 cabinets worth of stuff into about 3 is absolutely brilliant. There's also the ability to easily scale up. Need more compute? - add more hosts or (just vMotion your machines to another host host) upgrade existing hosts! Need more storage? - Add on to your SAN or if you're using vSan, just put more storage on your hosts.

The initial investment for licensing can be kind of rough but even compared to Hyper-V's free model, it's totally worth it. Performance can still be a challenge when using shared storage for applications requiring a lot of IOps

Datacenter management keeps getting easier the more systems we virtualize. Hardware costs are easier to handle. Setting up labs is a breeze. Better server availability with HA and vMotion Easy to migrate or clone a machine between datacenters.

You need not know anything about code to start with Wavemaker. I used this way back in college when I was an undergraduate and needed a part-time project. At that time I knew the basics of C and Java and I did not face any big hurdles while using the product. It helped me create a project to show for in my Second year of college.

I did not find anything to dislike in the product and as I said earlier, it is a very good platform if you want to create an APP for your small business or want to build a game for yourself. It provides an excellent platform.

It is allowing people with less technical capabilities and knowledge to start with Coding and building products, it may not be as furbished as one would like but still, it is a good start.

I loved all its features, the fact that I can collaborate, accelerate and build new applications , saving time and cost

So far I haven't had any bad experiences

You can start from the scratch with easy workflow and build your innovative applications in half time. It leads to increase in the productivity and efficiency.

WaveMaker is a powerful low-code platform to write clean code and build apps fast and deploy them fast. It's extremely useful and powerful to anyone who doesn't want to spend too much effort writing code. The visual way of building apps is very powerful.

There's quite some learning curve to master the WaveMaker tool. It sometimes works a bit slow. Would be good to have intuitive knowledge-bases and support videos on how to use the tool better and more effectively

WaveMaker is simplifying the process of developing and deploying apps faster. We do not have to spend too much effort to launch apps and the visual interface with drag and drop is just amazing

Ease of use, variety of options, readily available components

Customizations required for the project and lack of specific things

Saving time to run number of experiments and launch the product in the market

It's UI UX is super easy to use specially the drag and drop where code is generated automatically.

It is kinda limited and can add way more features there were a lot of things I wanted to but couldn't.

It made my work a lot quicker. Less coding common platform for different projects and easy management.

Its installation in our environment went smoothly, with the support of the WaveMaker helpdesk. Its easy-to-grasp graphical user interface aids the solution's administration. Eight developers were trained to use Wavemaker. They produced 13 business applications spread across different functional domains. Getting started with Wavemaker is made easy by well-structured, practical documentation, which is regularly updated. In addition, the capacity to choose embedded technologies makes it easier for developers to understand how Wavemaker works. The CRUD part of the applications is created quickly and easily. The integration solutions offered correspond to market standards and meet most of our needs (SAML, LDAP, WS Soap, MySQL, PostgreSQL). Prefabs are practical and save time by industrializing our applications' recurrent features. The standard capabilities of WaveMaker allowed the new applications to be integrated smoothly into our environment. Obsolescence management could be tested through the switch from Angular JS to Angular: the transition was well controlled, and adaptation costs were low. Applications produced are aligned with market standards, responsive and efficient. Load tests carried out on some of them have been successful, and the applications' performance fully meets our expectations. Pramati's support team has been mostly responsive, and we appreciate our regular exchanges, which contribute to developing the product roadmap.

1. An integrated IDE would have been a plus to support the new applications' step-by-step debugging. 2. Lack of flexibility in managing developments on a corporate GitLab. 3. Some difficulties to integrate the new versions in our environments (we work with an on-prem version)

We were facing the following problems with our traditional approach : • Modernization on top of legacy technologies was cumbersome and involved high latency, and existing systems did not support open-source technologies. • Existing technologies could not interface natively with other internal and essential systems like SAML and LDAP. • Some existing technologies were expensive, and their licensing model was not cost-effective • Delay in go-to-market with application updates arising from Government policies and rules that are subject to change over time WaveMaker offered the following benefits : • Development of more than 40+ applications underway, integrations with internal systems made possible, and satisfied users across the board. • Visually appealing applications using easy drag and drop UI elements that could also support SOAP-based web services • OCSIN is making great strides in its modernization journey with WaveMaker’s open standards-based low-code platform. • Some of the critical results achieved so far include: Support for latest technologies like containerization, web services, and SAML Greater economies of scale with developer seat-based licensing • Seamless integration with other internal systems like LDAP, EDM via web services, desktop publishing in a native manner • Transparent version upgrades on technology changes are now possible • 8+ completely functional applications have been created and deployed, and all others are being refurbished or developed anew

The best thing I liked is we can build modern applications very quick and fortunately at a very low cost as well.

I have used wave maker for many our use cases at my last company Botmatic. But haven't found any difficulties.

With such a great product Wave maker. Coding standards of Wave maker is just awesome it help me a lot in code development, it's Deployment, and obviously I could formalize my application.

I love the open code standards supported by WaveMaker. We get Java / Spring / Angular apps as well. Using this app, I achieved great speed in development and deployment as well. Apart from that, I like the feature we can Kubernetes for all the applications in development, and it helps a lot while moving it to production.

I am using WaveMaker since 2016, and I didn't face a single issue while using it. Still, WaveMaker can be more productive if they can add native phone applications and more widgets to the app.

WaveMaker is a really, very good application with the best code standard built-in that helped me in development, code deployment, and it helped me to scale my built application. The Drag and Drop feature is just mind-blowing.

Easy to use interface, but also easy to customize code.

Basis my limited usage, I would more like to explore before I comment regarding the dislikes

A customer maintenance workflow is being automated

Good for automation Easy to understanding

Need to improve AI capables And image processing also

I was done web automation

Ease of use and way the support is received for the app

The UI could be better and apart from this nothing to think of.

WaveMaker helped me scale my application and is also very ease to use

One feature that kept my attention when I first heard about Wavemaker was that it uses open standards. Yes you will end up with a plain Java/Spring/Angular application. For the majority of our development needs it fits perfectly and boost our development velocity. Another important consequence of using open standard is that it can fit in your deployment pipeline. We use Kubernetes for all our applications deployment deploying a Wavemaker application to our cluster was very easy.

IDE synchronization can be hard sometimes.

We have a lot of small development requests to do things like a form to request a refund, or a small app to manage contracts, or even an application to generate a certificate. Using traditional development we used to create an API with Java/PHP and a frontend with REACTjs for it. Not starting from scratch, because we do reuse code, it takes time to have it up and running. With Wavemaker we spend a session discussing the entities that should support the application requirements and after that we can use the API that is generated and start to develop the frontend.

Fast development for database driven solutions.

On premise IDE high cost and RTL GUI support

Introducing responsive web application to the customers, best thing in WM is to deduce the time of development and testing apps.
