WaveMaker! This is the only application development platform you will ever require.

Pros

  • WaveMaker has helped us create internal applications in very short amount of time at a very low cost.
  • The interface is really clean and it is easy to understand, you need not be an expert coder to work on WaveMaker.
  • You can download your developed application and deploy it on any server you wish. There is no lock in whatsoever.
  • The support team is super supportive and they are genuinely interested in solving your problems.
  • WaveMaker helps you develop web and hybrid applications simultaneously, so you will be saving a lot of time and effort.
  • WaveMaker is constantly upgrading and the team makes sure that they inform the users about the upgrades.

Cons

  • There is absolutely nothing that can go wrong with the kind of price WaveMaker offers, their trial experience is great and their support is exceptional.
  • There is a learning curve involved and personally I do not feel that this is a negative because WaveMaker helps you to create business grade applications, but there will be users who might find it difficult to catch up on some features. However, with an exceptional support team these things can be managed.
  • WaveMaker has really good documentation but sometimes that becomes exhaustive because there are a lot of things that are covered.

Return on Investment

  • WaveMaker Rapid has helped us build internal applications really fast at a fraction of cost that has been quoted by one of our vendors.
  • As of now there is no negatives that we are facing with WaveMaker.

Easily the best RAD tool ever.

Pros

  • The UI is easy to understand and to work on.
  • Integration of data services is easy.
  • Third party plugins are not really needed.
  • Amazing Support team.
  • No lock-in and you can move away from the platform anytime with the code.

Cons

  • There is really not much to dislike about WaveMaker, but if there is something, I would like offline support(this is not available), since it is a cloud-based platform.

Return on Investment

  • It has helped us save a lot of time.

WaveMaker is a solid solution for mobile development and web integration.

Pros

  • Mobile development. You can generate in easy stages full working applications for Android and iOS platforms.
  • Web site integration. I have integrated into published WaveMaker applications, several technologies, parts from other websites, all in one place, with success.
  • Multiplatform solution.

Cons

  • I believe that for this case, is important the technical support, which solves you or give workarounds that work for your issues. It answers in 24 hours, in labour days.

Return on Investment

  • It allows us to expand to new markets using mobile development, apart from integrating existing web sites.
