Ease of use. Reduction of many third party and add-on software such as DB schema and management tools, security, roles, permissions, aesthetics and theme, API connectors, and so much more. The most important area is the use Java without having to get stuck with boilerplate, and verbose code. Wavemaker reduces code writing by more than 80%. Deployment is across the board to web, and mobile (iOS, Android). No other platform gives this much. The role of Java is very important as it has widely available libraries, and has matured to become very stable. Other languages have not matured or adopted to the level of Java. For us, the decision was to move away from module and depencies often associated with WordPress, Drupal and other popular platforms. In addition, .NET and ,many others do not have an IDE that reduces code writing. In order to save time and work within budget we needed a RAD tool to make the deadline. This was only possible with Wavemaker. The vast number of Java libraries made it seamless to integrate Wavemaker to AWS, CloudFront for our video sharing project. Wavemaker is a vast tool beyond the scope of this review. Try it yourself and see how much time can be saved.
There is not much to dislike about Wavemaker. Initially the price was a hurdle, but since then Wavemaker has made is affordable for such a great product.
We are solving the problem of connecting to Amazon Web Services and Cloudfront without having to be tied up to modules and plugins of open source projects.
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.
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.
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.
It's based on opensource platform (Angular) which means I'm not locked in to their service and I'm free to host my code on my own server. A well built platform for both beginner and advanced user. Most of their functionalities and features are well documented. They do consider your suggestion seriously.
Interface can be improved (Drag & drop of components) Price is very high. I do hope that they have cheaper options for individual developer (E.g. small business owner)
Creating a simple yet fully functional web app
Easy to design. Gives good designs and templates
Time taking. Has multiple steps. Need to code in PHP for logics
Designing rapid application in less time. Decent designs in less price and time for smaller projects
Just drag and drop the widgets and variable and wavemaker convert or generate HTML and code automatically with its events and default value. Its very easy for developers to design UI UX fast with clean and clear code.
Need to work on style something its getting very deficult. For large projects getting deficult to work .
Basically its just drag and drop functionality provided and code is automatically generated by wavemaker so it reduces lot of time to write code in well format which basically increases productivity.
