- Easy integration trough WebServices and custom extension;

- Available for both .Net and Java stacks;
- Generates usable code;
- Very easy to manage.

Our users have now a rich knowledge about agile methodologies and the capabilities of this platform, they participate in building our systems in a way I could never imagine before. Most user needs are now presented in a structured and concise way by the users themselves! I've never seen this before with non-tech users on other platforms.

Cons

- v4.2 IDE could be faster - I've tested last version (v5) and it looks spot on!
- No open source database support yet.

Overall

It's a great tool to help IT deciders who focus on meeting user expectations on time and within budget.
The rapid prototyping possibility along with an agile methodology really helps regaining a good reputation for IT projects.

This platform has come a long way since I first started using it back in 2007.

I strongly recommend it!
