Read More TF Terence F. Information Technology and Services Self-Employed Used daily for less than 12 months Review source Reviewed April 2017 RAD Platform - hype or real? 5 I had been looking for many years for a platform/framework that would satisfy my need for developing web based and mobile applications. I tried the usual Deamweaver, Embarcedero, Telerik platfoms and none of them lived up to the hype of RAD. I had used Wavemaker (5, 6) many years ago when it was open source and was surprised when they changed to a subscription based pricing model last year. I decided to kick the tires with an evaluation last September... and now I'm a paying customer. My proof-of-concept and proof-of-RAD was based on my skills: 1) I am a quick study wth programming languages & databases but don't have the depth of knowledge 2) I don't have the mastery of Javascript & CSS that is fundamental to modern UI's 3) I did not want to break the bank 4) I needed a single platform for web / mobile development (a single codebase is still a dream) I was pleasantly surprised by the rich feature set baked into Wavemaker and even though it's not perfect - the support staff is willing to work with you on issues that are not inherently intuitive or doable - it's worth paying for. All in all I am satisfied with the product. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 4 Value for money 4 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: The platform is hosted and updated regularly. The features are complete from DB design, import schemas, query, procedures, web services, UI widgets and plain old javascript provide all the tools in a central development environment. Cons: There is always the learning curve to deal with but this is normal for any platform. I have yet to find something that is a problem. A few browser artifacts while scrolling and switching between design and runtime mode are minor inconveniences. Read More cd chris d. Information Services 2-10 employees Used daily for less than 6 months Review source Reviewed March 2017 Great Tool but beware pricing 5 We undertook a trial of the product based on online reviews and articles. From a UX point of view and meeting the need for 98% codeless programming Wavemaker is extremely well designed and implemented. The learning curve is not too steep, although online materials arent as user friendly as the product interface, and within a month we had built our first fully functioning app (reasonably complex) and had gone through UAT and deployment, incredible speed considering from a standing start. The support team were incredible, very responsive and helpful. Then towards the end of the trial we contacted the sales team to purchase the monthly developer licence mentioned on this and other sites, unfortunately this option was withdrawn from the market and that the current pricing model is an eyewatering per month per application! This price is justified as it included AWS hosting, bearing in mind a medium AWS EC2 instance cost roughly per month, this clearly points to wavemaker withdrawing itself from the SME market only being interested in very large enterprises running apps that would need XLarge AWS instances. In short excellent tool, but unless you are looking at hosting an expensive bill anyway not really worth undertaking the trial. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 2 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: UX, ease of development and deployment, support team excellent Cons: cost model is for large enterprises only, and only for applications that will have a very clear ROI. $99 developer licence no longer available, $24k per year per application. Prior reviewers mentioned at $99 not even a decision to be made, and i would agree but at this price point also no decision to be made but in the opposite direction. Read More RM Rodrigo M. Computer Software 2-10 employees Used daily for less than 2 years Review source Reviewed February 2018 WM enables us to do many times as much with limited headcount. 4 Development speed and less bugs on final developed application. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: The speed we have from concept to product is paralleled only by much more expensive tools like IBM VisuaAge, currently available only to high end risc workstations. The support is by large the best part in WM. The support team is always solicit and ready to pursue and provide any need for either support or information on how to do things with the tool. Cons: WM would benefit greatly if had a planned roadmap ahead in time. Sometimes corrections and new features are expected and hence we face difficulties planning ahead in time without such information from WM product management. We have the release notes, of course, but only a few days before a release is actually made available. Vendor Response Thanks for the review, Rodrigo. Enjoy & keep trying WaveMaker.

Information Technology and Services 51-200 employees Used daily for less than 6 months Review source Reviewed August 2016 Maarga Systems 4 We have developed two applications for our POC so far. During that phase we found wavemaker is real a Rapid application development tool. Implementation of Security and its features is very easy to apply. We are able to build a professional and responsive ui build in a quick period. All menus are user friendly especially for developers. Navigation and validations are easy to implement. Excellent customer support, whenever we need response for any issue we got the replies on time. Follow ups on pending items by support team and their punctual in replies are highly impressive. Wherever we need any custom function to be implemented we can achieve it using angular JS and Jquery is an added advantage.

Transportation/ Trucking/ Railroad 51-200 employees Used daily for less than 2 years Review source Reviewed January 2017 Wavemaker 8.x Online review 5 My Experience with this product is that it is outstanding. If its all about speed and accuracy then I give Wavemaker 10/10. The Wavemaker Studio product is very professional and well worth the cost of a paid subscription. Support is always prompt and the engineering support team get my issues resolved quickly. Overall I would not bother looking anywhere else for a product that does what Wavemaker does. All their claims on their website are accurate!. Ratings Breakdown 3 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: Fast, lightweight and flexible. Easy to adapt to any hosting situation or app store. Cons: It is a cloud studio so I have concerns about untrusted environments. Also there were concerns about the default setting for C3PO Database connector. Read More FT FABIANO T.

Used unspecified for unspecified Review source Reviewed April 2017 One of the best RAD 5 Hi everybody, We would like to give our personal review about WM platform. Months ago we were struggling with the choice of a RAD platform to choose in order to speed up our developing process. We tried many of them with similar architecture, but since we had experiences in the past with the community edition, after a long talk with sales' manager, we ended up buying a licence with WM. From our point of view this platform it's a great combination for nowadays developers, it allow us to manage the source code in order to personalize as much as we can the code, but at the same time it offer so many options that reduces incredibly the amount of time spent for each project. Support is great, through email and directly from the Online Studio's chat. We had the need of sending several questions and we always had a fast and kind feedback. Plaftorm is being updated often and the road map seems to be very interesting for the future,we hope that small business we'll always be in WM's plans(Even though rate plans seems to be going just for enterprise) PROs: Architecture,Easy of Use,Support CONs: Documentation The only point in which we would work more is the documentation, there's a lack of some usefull information. It would be very nice to have a community in which users can share their questions and their purposes. WM should work on this. Anyway we are really satisfied of our choice. Great product for the value, Thanks again, GeoDataLab Staff. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 4 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Read More jr joel r.
