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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was able to build an MVP in one day, which is crazy. Before, that would have taken my team a month, of 2 developers working on it. Now, I saved time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

Appsmith helps us to create an internal dashboard to handle data entry updates. It's easy to spin up a new dashboard after initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

It replaces a lot of manual data entry/categorisation/labeling that has been historical done in excel. This means the liklihood of incorrect data entry (and therefore inaccurate data) has been greatly reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

It allows us to create frontend to our applications and databases much faster and with much lower complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appsmith?

• Ease of Use: The drag-and-drop interface is so intuitive that even those with minimal coding experience can build functional apps in no time. This is perfect for quickly spinning up prototypes or full-fledged applications.

• Speed: Everything from setting up data sources to deploying apps happens at lightning speed. It’s truly remarkable how much time Appsmith saves.

• Flexibility: Despite being a low-code platform, Appsmith doesn’t compromise on flexibility. The ability to write custom JavaScript and integrate APIs gives me the control I need for complex applications.

• Community and Support: The Appsmith community is vibrant and supportive, and the team behind Appsmith is always improving the platform and adding new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using Appsmith, I was able to draft internal apps for multiple clients to view, alter, and store data, automate processes, and generate reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Eliminates custom dev for less complex internal tools / monitors

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

What do you like best about Appsmith?

I liked the shortcuts that made the navigation faster and quick to debug and find the issues and the shortcut actions are similar to what I used to use in other code editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appsmith?
