8base Reviews & Product Details

I think the product speaks for itself. My team and I were drawn to it from our first tests. After that, the 8base team reached out to us and gave us the confidence to start building on their platform. Now we have a small (but growing) business unit built around low-code with 8base at the core. Whenever we ran into a speedbump their support team has been readily available which is something we appreciate a lot.

There are some features that we have requested and we are super excited about App Builder. So it´s not that we dislike stuff but we wish it was available sooner.

Low-code projects with great flexibility but with no DevOps headaches. We use it to create small apps and middleware solutions. We like the CI/CD that's built into it.

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.

8Base is set up so that any one can use it right out of the box. I have some team members who are not technically inclined but they were able to use it without much technical instruction.

While to app builder in intuitive there really should be more templates that you can use right out of the box. This would benefit those who do not have the best technical skills

Internal applications that needed to be released in a qucik manner

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.

8base is a strong platform for full-stack services integrating backend and frontend, allowing the users to develop fast, scalable, and amazing products. Comparing this with other platforms 8base is at another level as low code platform for all the things that include between frontend and backend that allows you to create a full product.

8base is a complete product and doesn't have anything that I dislike, the team is continuing to work on improving the service, and platform. The support service is really good, and you don't have any to worry about.

Reduce times of development. Create backend services with really good quality without spending too much time. Create good frontend websites, appearance, and functionality without spending too much time on styles, functionality, and things that you need to do from code. Solve problems of authentication that is always a lot of work when you create a project from 0.

I think 8base is very nice for creating projects rapidly. I really like the graphql features it has, and the easy way it has to enhance the backend with the custom functions.

I think one of the downsides is the documentation, it is something hard to find what you want to do, so it leads sometimes to delays in the development process.

It serves as the database where we are storing different projects; then we are using the graphql services in order to make the queries and mutations in an easy and fast way

The easy way to have a graphql api from a relational database

Sometime the performance of the queries gets low when a table has to much relations

Have a awesome graphql api in minutes

I love the ease with which you can create tables and relationships as well as the different queries. and complex queries can be made very easily from the client.

the limit it has for triggers since it cannot exceed a certain weight and for large projects it can be a problem. and also not having a log of all requests can make it difficult to identify when it is a server or code error.

allows you to create tables very quickly to avoid wasting time in repetitive configurations and installations and gives directly an endpoint you add authentication and ready you can test very quickly

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.
