What do you like best about Appsmith?

In Appsmith I don't need to write any code for design, I can simply focus on the functionality for my application. Its drag-and-drop interface and wide range of integrations make it easy to create custom applications quickly. Whether you're a developer or not, Appsmith empowers you to boost your productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

The only thing I don't like about appsmith is sometimes it does becomes laggy and drops in performance while extensive usage like loading speed for your application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appsmith solving and how is that benefiting you?

My last project in my company was creating a Dashboard for tech support, If I had made the Dashboard using any other front-end tool it would have taken me well over a month but with appsmith I had done it in within few weeks. Yes, something to consider, our company is a start up so not many people will be using the page and I'm new to this industry with little experience. When our company grows it will be a little difficult to maintain traffic in appsmith but right now it is perfect for me to make this kind of project where funtionality > design.

What do you like best about Appsmith?

I managed to build a personal finances app with a good deal of features literally from day 1, exploring on the AppSmith free plan connected to a Supabase DB. I also explored AppSheet and Budibase for the same project before, but my experience was far inferior with these alternative and I wasn't able to reach a reasonable progress in the time I was able to spend.

The speed of development is incredible and I was able to navigate my way through by only spending a few minutes on tutorials when getting blocked. The concept of having managed queries (as wrappers over the DB) makes a ton of sense, as well.

I tested so far the integration with a PostgreSQL relational DB in Supabase and the experience of setting this up was also very smooth (including the usage of the Deno framework).

It is marvelous how AppSmith combines ease-of-use with power, given that almost everything is parametrizable with JavaScript behind the scenes. Apps are never straight-cut, and my experience with low-code/no-code tools before was that I hit a roadblock where I would have needed to write a bit of code to achieve my goals.

Such a comprehensive set of features, a UX first focus and the ability to freely extend the funcitonality are for me huge wins! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

Getting aligned to the best practices (in order to scale your efforts down the line) takes time, but that is the proper design time that needs to go behind any engineering endeavor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appsmith solving and how is that benefiting you?

- productivity from day 1

- extensibility/customizability for those 5% of the requirements that are usually hard/impossible to cover by plan low-code/no-code tools

- generous free plan to start with

- robust UX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appsmith?

We've been using Appsmith since a few months and it's been a great tool. At first we we're thinking of using retool. But after trying appsmith we didn't think twice. We have a lot of different data sources and appsmith being able to hand every one of them without any additional configuration has saved us a lot of time. Its so easy to get started, even on the self hosted version. We're hosting it on AWS EC2 through the AMI and it spun up within minutes. I wish more servies offered such easy methods to get started.We're using the free version and it's been more than enough for our needs. We're planning to upgrade to the paid version soon.

Being able to embed apps is a great feature. We're using it to embed tables and other widgets in our internal dashboard.

So overall, we're very happy with appsmith and we're looking forward to using it for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

Does not have a dark mode.

I guess thats it for now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appsmith solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've been using it to visualize relations and tables in our waitlist signups and mobile app signups.

We were also able to create complex tables and visualize them right as they were being created in postgres through appsmith Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appsmith?

Appsmith is an incredible tool! It requires a bit of imagination and creativity to get things done, often involving some workarounds, much like programming in general. However, it's much simpler and a lot about experimenting. Once you get the hang of it, you can understand how it works, and you feel your applications continuously improving. The UI is quite beautiful, and using Appsmith is super easy. I have used both the self-hosted and cloud versions, and both work excellently. Additionally, Appsmith has reduced my development time by at least 40%.

The way to integrate appsmith with different apis is awesome, but i would like to have a way to create a login that allows you to use your own jwt logic but not from scratch.

I use appsmith like literally every day in my work day and i am currently developing a SaaS with it, which i will be hopefully launchin soon.

Its pretty easy to deploy and to keep track of changes also, sometimes it is kind of hard to understand some conflicts on git but it is becaus of the way json are store so does not really matter.

The community is great, and their videos are helpful, i recommend asking question in discord Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

One area that could use improvement is the documentation. There are certain aspects that are hard to find information on.

Another challenge is positioning widgets exactly in the middle; arranging objects in a grid layout can be tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appsmith solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reducing development time.

Getting MVPs done even faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to connect to datasources and present the data in a table is quick and easy.

Also there is a large number of widgets to use which makes it possible to provide great functionality in your apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

its hard to find anything to dislike at this early stage, there is a big learning curve but it is worth it to be able to build apps quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Appsmith, there's no need to worry about coding for design; you can focus entirely on building the functionality of your application. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, combined with a variety of pre-built integrations, makes it easy to create custom applications efficiently. Whether you're a seasoned developer or someone with no coding experience, Appsmith helps you streamline the development process and significantly improve your productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

As long as the app meets your needs, there’s really nothing to dislike. The process may vary, but in the end, you'll achieve the results you're aiming for! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appsmith solving and how is that benefiting you?

No-code has saved us a lot of time. We work extensively with SQL data, and getting the right reports to the right people with the correct filtered views is now super simple.

We’ve built dashboards with user-selectable dropdowns, radio buttons, and more, allowing users to interact directly with Appsmith to get exactly what they need. They can also input data on their end, which is then saved to SQL based on workflow requirements.

I’m even controlling a CNC machine I built using Appsmith via API access. It’s amazing how much we can accomplish in a short time with Appsmith—I can come up with an idea and deliver the end result in just 20-60 minutes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appsmith?

AppSmith is a strong technical platform that allows for a lot of flexibility when it comes to creating platforms. There are a lot of intuitive built-in data sources but additionally the ability to implement any APIs is very helpful and easy. I use AppSmith everyday in my workplace to create various low-code applications. The customer support is also unmatched, being able to easily meeting with a specialist to get questions answered through chat or virtual meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

While AppSmith was a very good platform, there were some limitations that made it difficult. For instance I was unable to upload a PDF to an OpenAI model despite the model having the capability to do so. Despite that, I was able to find a work around and still create my app to its fullest extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appsmith solving and how is that benefiting you?

AppSmith is allowing me to turn an idea to create a web app that utilizes A.I. into a reality very fast. I needed something easy to use and that could implement the usage of an LLM which other platforms could not do or could only do in a very restrictive manner. AppSmith was the only one that allowed me to do what I needed to in a flexible manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer Support is super prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

I have yet to find one reason to dislike appsmith Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appsmith solving and how is that benefiting you?

We work is a lot of SQL data.

Getting the right reports to the right person with the correct filtered view is now super easy.

We've made dashboards with user selected dropdown options / Radio Buttons etc so that the user can directly interact with appsmith and get exactly what he needs.

He can then enter the data from his end and this is saved to SQL as per the workflow requirements.

I am also controlling one of my own-made CNC machine using appsmith via API access.

Its incredible what we can achieve in a very short span of time using appsmith.

I can literally think up an idea and deliver the end-result - all within 20-60 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appsmith?

Appsmith greatly simplifies application development with its intuitive drag-and-drop interface. The pre-built components handle common functionalities, saving me time and allowing me to focus on unique features. Integration with data sources and APIs is seamless, further streamlining the development process. This platform significantly boosts my productivity and enables faster project delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

Creating responsive layouts for mobile devices could be more intuitive. Additionally, setting up detailed user permissions can sometimes require extra effort. Despite these minor issues, Appsmith remains an invaluable tool for my development needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appsmith solving and how is that benefiting you?

Appsmith has dramatically reduced the time and resources needed to build applications. I was able to create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in just one day, a task that previously would have taken my team of two developers an entire month. This rapid development capability not only saves time but also significantly cuts costs, enabling us to iterate quickly and bring solutions to market faster. This efficiency has freed up my team to focus on other critical tasks, enhancing overall productivity and benefiting our projects immensely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
