CTO & Co-Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wavemaker improved our lead time and results" June 4, 2018 5.0 Pros User Interface is the one best thing that we really like in the product since we have had acquired the first annual subscription Cons Even with GUI (Graphic User Interface) still requires some coding java script in the onde thing that we don't like. Review Source DR Don R. Mobile Developer/.Net Developer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Absolute Best Enterprise Tool Available - Period!" August 23, 2016 5.0 The documentation for the Mobile development - currently is a little weak. But, i have emailed a fella named Madhu, and him and Wavemaker's staff has went out of their way to help me - SEVERAL times - and i haven't signed up yet - but I will be signing up this Friday, Aug 26, 2016. Pros Very well put together platform. Very good - no, excellent support. Very knowledgeable staff. They even built a couple of small demo apps for me to help me understand things. Overall - the best Web-Based MBaaS Platform, or in general, Mobile Development Platform on the Web running in a Browser. And - it was originally built by VMWare - another very big Pro. Cons Documentation for mobile a little weak, but they are improving every day, but meanwhile, they have online chat that responds to you in minutes, helps you resolve issues everytime.

August 16, 2016 5.0 There is a bit of a learning curve, but thankfully their email support is top notch. Wave maker allows us to build awesome universals apps very very quickly. Pros 100% cloud based, great customer support, tremendous uptime. Cons Very little documentation, or it all seems to be scattered and for an older version. Had to teach myself much of this platform Review Source GL Greg L. Logistics System Specialist Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quick and relatively easy platform to develop complicated applications." February 6, 2018 4.0 Pros We have a mass project and desided to give this tool a go with the reasoning that we can take our code at any time anywhere and continue to write it with professional developers when we run short on knowledge. Otherwise with minimal research we have so far been able to develop quite complex applications. The support provided by the wavemaker team is quick and accurate with minimal discussion. Cons As the software develops step at a time it would be great to see more pre built features for the device and the application. Assuming this is mostly used for business development it would be good to see device barcode and peripherals integrated. Review Source KS Ken S. Managing Partner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "occasional user" June 12, 2019 4.0 Pros I like the low code development capability. Cons I would like a way to access the tool on a sporadic/pay-as-you-need basis. I've developed an application using the tool and I need to make changes every couple of months, but it doesn't justify paying the monthly fee for the months that I don't need the tool. Review Source Response from Pramati June 13, 2019 Thanks for the review, Ken. We will try to accommodate your concerns into our plans very soon. Keep using WaveMaker! NS Nome S. Tech Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Really good support and tools" July 8, 2016 5.0 The support is paralleled in my 12 years of working in ICT. The tools are also very very powerful and you can actually do a lot with it. So many options I still have not explored. Pros It is easy enough to use. You can literally run an app in a few minutes. On the surface it seems simple but make no mistake. Under the hood there is a lot more customization you can do Cons While it is simple enough to use on the surface. To do really advance stuff there is a steep learning curve. There are a lot of help and training materials available though and of course the stellar support. Review Source DC Desmond C. Systems Administrator Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Let's talk Rapid Application Development!" March 27, 2019 4.0 Pros WaveMaker makes it easier and faster for the rapid development of applications. What I like most in using WaveMaker is the built in templates when designing UI. Cons I can be a little difficult to learn to use the software, but when you grasp the concepts you are good to go. Review Source Response from Pramati March 28, 2019 Thanks a lot Desmond Chigariro for the review. Keep trying WaveMaker! VD Vineet D. Director, Engineering Used the software for: ### "Radically change the entire process of building apps" February 1, 2016 5.0 Wavemaker is a boon for startups like us as it helped us build prototypes quickly and effectively. It enabled us to test some of the most difficult potential parts of the system early on in the life-cycle. Finding problems earlier in the life-cycle rather than later was a key benefit. The earlier a problem can be found the cheaper it is to address. It uses wysiwyg visual builder that allows quick app building, and hence for prototyping, the business analyst could directly get it done. The best part is that it is not just for prototyping, we later on went ahead and built upon the prototype to build a full fledged enterprise app. We had an option to pick from a huge bag of themes and templates (for both mobile and web). Also had an option to extend the platform for our customised needs. The first prototype we built was developed in less than week instead of 20+ days as estimated initially. Review Source AD Andi D. Petroleum Director Oil & Energy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best RAD solution ever used!" January 5, 2017 5.0 I have been using a lot of tools and solutions for Rapid Application Development, for many types of applications, from simple to complicated ones! But, using WaveMaker was amazing! You can develop apps very fast with a plenty of professional features. All phases from development to production can be managed in a simple way. Security features that you can add to any application are very professional. Pros \- plenty of features - fast development of applications - application security feature Cons none Review Source OA Otacilio A. CEO Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Product but Missing Support" April 11, 2017 4.0 I'm using WaveMaker for almost an year, and despite the incredible easy to use RAD for Web and Mobile application, seems some lack of support, sometimes we need to send more then onde email to receive feedback. For other hands the product is very easy to use and also simple to release, despite that uses Java as background technology, I assume someday will be able to release also in NodeJS or other server platform. Pros Easy to use;Easy to Deploy; Widgets Cons High Cost;Need Java Server Review Source JD Jeremy D. app developer Graphic Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "wavemaker rapid " December 13, 2018 5.0 Pros i love every feature on this software simple & easy to use Cons n/a i have no negative remarks for this software Review Source Response from Pramati December 22, 2018 Thanks for the review, Jeremy. Keep trying WaveMaker! Regards, Team #WaveMaker GF Gianni F. Software Architect and Developer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best RAD based on AngularJS, helps to speed up your development process." September 14, 2016 4.0 We needed to speed up our development process without moving from our technologies, such as MySQL and AngularJS, and WaveMaker is the right choice. Pros You need only a browser to be able to work, no complicated stuff on your machine. Angular code is not hidden, you can modify whatever that you want. Support is fast, reliable and available from chat directly in the IDE or from email. Cons So bleeding edge that you can sometimes find bugs, but support is fast and reliable, they propose you a solution in minutes via chat or email... Browser based is not good if you have a slow or unreliable internet connection. There's an on premise version though... Review Source JS J S. Owner Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The ultimate software-development environment " June 14, 2016 5.0 Wavemaker is the ultimate software-development environment which we as professional developers like to use. Pros It's drag and drop and gives you fast results. Cons There is a learning curve. You'v to get used to the way Wavemaker expects things to construct. Review Source RW Richard W. Used the software for: ### "WaveMaker Rocks" September 28, 2016 5.0 Very complete front and back-end support to include direct connections to SQL, with db modeling support as well as support for generated web services. Super flexibility as to deployment options. Review Source PO Paul O. Used the software for: ### "Reduce your development time by over 60%" December 7, 2016 5.0 We have been using wavemaker to reduce development time for our frontend applications. Our startup is in machine learning and data science and focus more on backend models rather than frontend and as such we dont want to over invest in frontend technologies and at the same time we want to deliver a great experience to our customers. Wavemaker has solved that for us and provided us with more time to focus on machine learning models. Review Source RN Reji N. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent RAD tool for Responsive UI" June 16, 2016 4.0 We are still evaluating the tool. But so far it seems to be one of the best. It is quite easy to use and the tutorial was helpful. Pros Easy to use Cons Nothing so far Review Source SS Sean S. Used the software for: ### "Puts the Rapid into RAD" February 8, 2016 5.0 WaveMaker lets us build prototypes quickly and allows us to utilise existing client data easily. This allows us to focus the client's attention on the prototype without distraction. Applications can be developed and deployed fast, taking the grind out of the repetitive tasks allowing us to get on with the value adding aspects of the application development process. Fast, powerful and straightforward. Review Source AW Alexander W. Used the software for: ### "First year with Wavemaker" January 18, 2017 4.0 Wavemaker tries to make complex thinks easier. For some applications it really works well. For very complex applications we see limitations. Review Source fF fatin F. Used the software for: ### "wavemaker is the best platform to create your own apps." November 21, 2016 4.0 Wavemaker can make you design your own apps as quickly as you can make, it satisfied your need and not much coding is involved when developing the apps. I would like to give a high credit to customer support which gives a quick feedback or response and able to guide you when you facing an issue regarding the development. Review Source MB M.M. B. Used the software for: ### "null" August 16, 2018 5.0 Review Source RM Rafael M. Used the software for: ### "Wavemaker worths" October 26, 2016 5.0 Wavemaker has been a golden experience. Since I started using I could decrease development time and add features to the project. Another thing that must be highlighted is its support which is excellent. Review Source GW George W. Developer Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Investment" April 14, 2017 5.0 WaveMaker is a where productivity meets ease of use. Glad to have found out about WaveMaker. After trying other platforms, WM is where I'm looking to stay. Pros Ease of use Robust platform Cons More sample project documentation Expanded database/data conversions (not a major con but more of a suggestion) Review Source Similar Products Featured
