"Just the thing we did not need AT ALL"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

They do provide support. Support is from India and thus there is some difficulty being able to understand them, but they do make sure to solve the many, many, many issues there are with this product, once you come across them.... I recognize that there are not as many problems as you might expect, but when there are problems, OH WOW are there problems....

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

Wavemaker seeks to be Visual Studio for the web, which we absolutely do not need WHATSOEVER. It forces you into using their platform for 100% all development. Web folks, all you need is a framework and MVC. That is absolutely it. I am 150% upset that the company I work for was so incredibly short sighted to use this product. To be entirely honest, developers trying to use Wavemaker have an extremely steep learning curve, the written how to material is incredibly poor, and it would take a lot less development time if you did not use this product. Further, if you do not use this, you do not have to worry about future maintainability. Furthermore, you will be pushed behind tech wise if you use this.

What problems is WaveMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is just a RAD for the web...............

"Thanks for Lifting my career."
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

The way to use all of the languages at one place with ease. It has helped me lift my career from a Manual QA to SDET. I was unsure where to start and took a course where wavemaker was suggested for IDE and I'm glad that I did. I started from small-time code to building full-fledged applications using wavemaker.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

I haven't come across any such vulnerability or trait of this IDE to write. It's just that I was trying to add python library into it but found it difficult to find the way to do so on my own, had to take help from a youtube video. So I can say that maybe tips , tricks and in-app tutorials may help to people like me.

What problems is WaveMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wavemaker is helping anyone who wants to learn coding or app development or Automation for that case by providing easy interface and in-app features like drag drop to build application using less coding. One way I used it was to initially create an app using drag drop and then learn how it was made by studying the code. So I used it to give my career a new flight and I think if I can , then anyone can.

"Great speed on development. Low effort on devops"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

Integration with backend RESTful and databases is what we are looking for. We don't need anymore software installation at customer site. In two months we have completed and delivered custom development projects for our customers. With visual studio we could not have such a speed. The ability to export the webapp in WAR format, allows those who have already an internal J2EE infrastructure, to start immediately with the developed webapp in minutes. Integration with comoon IDE tools like Intellij is awsome. The support team is quick on help us in every day.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

I do not dislike Wvameker in any part. Sometimes documentation is not updated, but as a usual user, I contributed to it on Github.

What problems is WaveMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?

My small company did not develope custom software because the webapp were difficult and long. Now we can bring quick results, with responsive webapp, developed for on all devices and intergrated with the rest and sql database....bees ....

"Wavemaker rocks"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

The autogeneration of code and ability to access backend code lines makes this low-code builder awesome. Being able to access code on the front end navigation as well as back end is superb

"A toolkit that the entire team can use "
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

It is the perfect toolkit to brew your application

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

Looking for it, maybe usecase documentation

What problems is WaveMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was able to validate a business ideas, and build something my development team could pickup after me and continue. I also learnt plenty of nuances and the way i could do more, than what i had envisioned. I am confident this tool has put me ahead by a few months. I think, it has everything to get you started, continue making you successful and help you scale when you need to.

What do you like best about WaveMaker?

I like the ease of integration of cloud & deployment of application. The response time of customer service and flexibility of the tools. they are simple and solve common day to day application development requirements.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

Need additional templates and sample applications. this makes it easy and quick to get started with components with no need to read documentation.

What problems is WaveMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?

I build alot of backend machine learning algorithms. I use wavemaker to quickly integrate with my APIs on the cloud and share with clients. I also use wavemaker for quick visualizations and data driven frontends. I have tried the mobile build and looks fantastic. In total, wavemaker has saved me about 60% of design and coding of frontend applications.

"Coding with less effort"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

Its an amazing low code software creator for mobile and web. I love how it allows me to create clean and well-aligned UI/ UX within minutes. I dont have to worry about event handling as well. Love that!!

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

It has some limitations, the first one is that I have to do the styling separately and that can be time-consuming. Secondly, the website hangs sometimes while i am in the middle of working.

What problems is WaveMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its a low code solution which is very helpful for new developers and developers with less experience. Despite having multiple years of development experience i sometimes prefer to develop in WaveMaker as it takes cares of alot of things for me making the development process quick and effcient.
