What do you like best about Apache Cayenne?

The best thing about Cayenne is that it has a Modeler, which effectively removes any requirement to write a mapping XL like in the case of hibernate and it requires only clicking things to get started. Time and Effort saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the implementation of SQLTemplates, an inbuilt super feature by Cayenne we saw a performance improvement which was unmatchable. Performance optimization is done superbly with the help of SQLTemplate. Another thing is the community support with Cayenne. It is just phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
