Compare WaveMaker with other popular tools in the same category.
One feature that kept my attention when I first heard about Wavemaker was that it uses open standards. Yes you will end up with a plain Java/Spring/Angular application. For the majority of our development needs it fits perfectly and boost our development velocity. Another important consequence of using open standard is that it can fit in your deployment pipeline. We use Kubernetes for all our applications deployment deploying a Wavemaker application to our cluster was very easy.
IDE synchronization can be hard sometimes.
We have a lot of small development requests to do things like a form to request a refund, or a small app to manage contracts, or even an application to generate a certificate. Using traditional development we used to create an API with Java/PHP and a frontend with REACTjs for it. Not starting from scratch, because we do reuse code, it takes time to have it up and running. With Wavemaker we spend a session discussing the entities that should support the application requirements and after that we can use the API that is generated and start to develop the frontend.
CRUD form template and its logic template
Its IDE uses web application, it will be much better if WaveMaker have Desktop IDE.
Development of many Web Applications
- Drag and drop UI with fully customizable HTML, CSS and JS code - Web based application so I can access on any devices including tablet - Modern technology stack using Spring for backend and Angular for frontend - I can deploy outside of Wavemaker and even build the code on my own in CI/CD pipeline
- For WM Online (not enterprise), the update taking place during office hour in my timezone. It's 60 to 90 minutes off during the update and the notification is few days before
- greatly reduce number of developer per project - speed up delivery by focusing on business requirements
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
Highly abstracted front-end and back-end support. Great templating features promoting reuse. Browser based and no third party plugins required.
Really nothing to dislike! - Try it! - You should have a simple app running in less than 1 day.
Needed cross-platform support and back-end support for direct SQL connects as well as mature web services in order to extend functionality of a manufacturing ERP package - without modifying the source codes of that package.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Design Once and Use it across Platforms , with a very less code we can built an application which can work not only cross Devices but cross platforms as well . Easy to Use , Sinlge Code Block Can be Used, Integration and Extensibility
Need More Templates to quickly get started with.
