"Efficient and User-Friendly Low-Code Solution"
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.

"An exceptional productivity for internal applications ...."
What do you like best about Appsmith?

It is useful, it supports the usual use cases of a CRUD. So far, I haven't found anything it can't do. The connectors with API and database are very well supported. In one day, I migrated a simple app from a React (Vercel) + Railway (MySQL) world to appsmith. Amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

The little separation that exists between data layers and presentation. By playing with parameters, you can isolate, but there is quite a bit of coupling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and versatile low-code platform"
What do you like best about Appsmith?

I've been working with low-code platforms for a while now, and Appsmith has become a real game-changer for me. Even with limited coding experience, I was up and running in no time, thanks to the drag-and-drop interface. Forget writing tons of code – Appsmith lets you focus on the functionality you need without getting bogged down in the weeds.

The pre-built components are a lifesaver. They handle all sorts of common features, which saves me a ton of time when building applications. Plus, integrating with my data sources and APIs is a breeze. No more wrestling with complex connections – Appsmith just makes it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

Building layouts that adapt perfectly to mobile devices could be more intuitive. And for some really advanced features, like super granular user permissions, I might need to dig in a bit deeper compared to some other platforms. But overall, Appsmith is a fantastic tool.

"Save lots of development hours to built internal tools"
What do you like best about Appsmith?

It's easy to set up a lot of internal dashboards with a basic understanding of the coding. It's open source and can be connected to multiple databases and APIs. The in-built javascript support also helps to change data on the fly.

This saves a lot of developers' bandwidth and overall team's time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

Even though the UI is much better with the current update, it needs more improvements. The Editor screen should be easy to navigate while drag and drop different components.

The help option can be improved to ask and find the solution without changing the tab and going through google search.

It would be good to have more examples of complex things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Making Apps Couldn't Be Any Easier"
What do you like best about Appsmith?

The ability to turn an idea into something tangiable and useful without the need of a full-blown dev team and months of planning is what makes Appsmith so valuable. The tool is very easy to pick up and learn and very intuative. Plus the free tier gives you plenty of features to get started immediately. The intregretion to many different data sources is also a huge plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

Being low/no code, it perhaps lacks some of the flexibility and features compared to developing something bespoke from stratch but this is to be expected. I imagine the Appsmith team will continue to add features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great software for people with some experience developing software."
What do you like best about Appsmith?

Appsmith offers a decently powerful interface to easily create CRUD interfaces to a variety of databases and other integrations

With helpers towards some of the most consistent tasks .

By allowing you to use arbitrary SQL, JavaScript code, you are empowered to transform the data without limitations, within the confines of the application.

It's typically deployed as a monolithic OCI container, which makes it easy to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

Compared to other low code platforms, the usecases that are streamlimited are fewer.

For example, it has no integrated way to output an URL with properly encoded RFC 3986 format, however, it is capable of using the JS function encodeURIComponent() and encodeURI() to the same end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Building internal apps fast and simple."
What do you like best about Appsmith?

Appsmith is great if you quickly want to assemble an internal app for your team or demo for your client on your own infrastructure (self-hosted) or on their servers. It can be set up in a matter of minutes on IOT-platforms or (as we did) Docker. It has plenty of readily available building blocks to swiftly drag-and-drop a UI, is easy to navigate, and great to extend upon using JavaScript and SQL. They are constantly rolling out new features, have very fair Professional pricing and a great and helpful support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?

What appsmith lacks is an extensive framework for UI customization. You can switch between ready themes or do some basic customization, but making an app look really good or exactly as the client wants it to look like is tedious and sometimes not possible at all due to a lack of CSS access. Moreover, making apps "responsive" to be used by all devices and screen sizes is not possible. They are currently working on it, though and I'm eager to see what else they will come up with.
