Back4app Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate it because it is a complete app-backend that allows me to write very little backend code and focus only on the app frontend. I really like the ease of use of Back4app. Additionally, the free-tier is useful when starting the development of a new app and needing to cut costs, allowing development without worries even when the client has not yet paid or earned.

The admin dashboard is not suitable to be given to a client. It must be usable by a client who knows nothing technical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Back4app as it provides a great service with a very generous free tier. Their support team is very responsive, which I find valuable. Back4app removes the complexity of creating and maintaining a back end, making it much simpler. I appreciate the ease of implementation, and I think the Cloud Code feature is brilliant because it allows me to have all my logic server-side. The initial setup was a breeze.

I appreciate how easy it is to set up Back4app, which makes it extremely efficient for my client projects involving web apps like Content Management, Lead Management, and E-commerce. The cloud functions offered by Back4app give me incredible capabilities, akin to having 'super powers', which eliminate the need for deploying a traditional backend and streamline my workflow significantly. The documentation is another aspect I find valuable, providing clear guidance that makes working with the platform straightforward. My overall experience with the initial setup was seamless, especially since I had prior familiarity with Parse.com, contributing to a smooth transition. These elements collectively enhance my productivity and project efficiency, making it a product I am likely to recommend to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to have better logs in the free version of Back4app. Currently, I only have access to basic logs, which limits my ability to perform detailed analysis and troubleshooting as a developer. More detailed logs and extended log retention would significantly enhance my ability to debug and improve the projects I work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
