I am the CEO of a Software Development and Professional SaaS Company. 8base provides ease of mind and simplifies my business by providing Professional Backend-as-a-Service. these Services include; AWS usage, Database, Security, Scalability, rights and permissions, Data Model and GraphQL Engine and all the DevOps Services. The value is incredible and allows us to service our Customers and Solution Users at en extremely high level. We leverage 8base for all the Back-end Services and our Developers just need to build the front end Web Applications using the GraphQL (API) calls to the established back-end . 8base also simplifies our use of AWS and Database usage, with predictable costs and virtually unlimited scalability. 8base is also very service oriented and helpful to leverage all aspects of the platform. In addition , the new 8base Application Builder fills a need to streamline Web Application Development while leveraging the Platform / Backend Services.
I really do not have any dislikes. Any issues that have arisen they have helped us understand immediately. Building Front-end Apps using React-JavaScript takes a professional Developer. With the new 8base Application Builder this helps me have the proper developers for the proper business case.
Simplifying Software Development and handling all Back-end Services. This allows us to have predictable costs with true Scalability. We have an elite team that leverage all the value of 8base.
8Base is an amazing platform for developing web applications so fast, it's secure, and it allows developers to interact without losing control. The cost is really very good for the value it generates.
8Base just needs to include more base examples to take from there and evolve the platform.
The main pain that attacks is to develop applications quickly given the scarcity of labor. Likewise, in this process they included tools so that developers did not feel that they were losing control over the application. They use state-of-the-art technology and allow applications and solutions to quickly scale.
Not only does the technology platform help organization achieve profound business objectives, but it is also scalable and incredibly robust and unique.
we did not know about them earlier- no complaints
A Dramatic increase in velocity gains for development and cost savings that would have otherwise not been achieved. Great product development through 8base
Turning your ideas into reality is made easy using 8Base. We at ITWox specialize in working with Startups, most of the startups have similar challenges like the cost to build, time to market, and infrastructure management etc. We are able to solve most of these challenges using the 8Base platform. A few interesting features to talk about are - Managing the data is easy because of the prebuilt API. - The UI is easy to understand, and very interactive. - The API explorer is a very useful tool.
As 8base is developing new features, the documentation is sometimes not very clear or does not look deep enough into the functionality, so it is difficult to get complex data structures done at first.
We are managing, supporting, and enhancing a few startup businesses to build on 8Base. - For non-technical founders wea ree helping them to build the full-scale technology business - With the App Builder, we are simplifying the front-end web app experience.
They make the backend easy so innovators can focus on the front end (which is normally where the value creation is noticed).
An early stage ventures goes through multiple stages from concept, design, planning, and implementation. With many teams, its good to have a quarterback and always know where you are in the process. They do this very well, and everyone's accessible. But at this critical stage, there's always room for improvement.
Back end engineeering is always the most complex, and they remove this problem for founders. Frankly it makes the innovation side more fun.
Solution Advisors foster confidence that 8base is sincerely invested in customer success. Native toolset is vastly extensible via JAVA & TypeScript.
Slack connectivity to internal resources is touted as value added but falls short of potential due to profuctory replies and lack of follow up.
Rapid development. Ease of standing up platform. Consolidated back end services. All this means we're more profitable.
When my co-founder and I started our SaaS company, we wanted to avoid hiring an IT staff to build and maintain our SaaS product. With 8base, we were able to have them develop our product using their low code platform and then had them become our ongoing maintenance and enhancement provider.
We were one of 8base's initial customers and sometimes had to go through "growing pains" together. Most of the pain was focused on process immaturity that improved over time.
The biggest problem that 8base solved for us was taking the business vision we had in our heads and making it a SaaS reality. The main benefit was a robust, feature-rich SaaS platform delivered at an outstanding value.
The UI is very good. They have taken the time to understand developer needs and built the tools that make the developer's job a lot easier and allow the developer to focus on design and functionality instead of non-value-add technical work.
I'm eager to see the front-end tools that they have promised. The Graph QL needs a little bit of work to enable nested filters and updates. While you can do complex filtering, it happens on the client-side, which is less than ideal.
I'm using 8base to do rapid prototyping and build software with non-technical founders. The rapid prototyping and ability to implement software that can scale without having to re-platform the product are making a huge difference.
