I like the flexible of Backendless. It can handle all things related to backend development, including database, business logic, and notifications. It's nice to learn one tool that meets so many needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish authentication was easier. Also, documentation for those using no-code platforms could be more built out similar to how the documentation is built out for the major coding languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best is that you have to worry only about programming and potentialy you can be live after 5 minutes you have done the registration of the backendless account Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The free version can be more easy to get after 30 days of trial.
27.08.2022: for my mvp there is much more than i need. I'm very happy.
There is a thing that could be better. I would like to have a more mature function to syncrhonize (merge) different app, I would like to see the detailsof the difference like git or subversion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They have tons of training videos.
The best part is the way you can build your logic with the drag and drop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At times it appears you lose connectivity with the server so can lose some of your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Graphical 'language'.
Excellent backend support: DB, file system, cloud coding.
Very good online support.
The feel of a company/system evolving in the right way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of tools to inspect/debug a software program as a whole.
Need more documentation and/or an index that points to existing written and video documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Backendless makes it easy and accessible for anyone with no code knowledge to create complex apps and APIs. They have explanatory videos of all the features and possibilities, which makes learning a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tue UI builder could be more friendly and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The comprehensiveness of their videos, support and foresight in their solution. They clearly though through what the no-code world needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. I can literally not fault them on anything. It's an incredible system that offers features exactly when you are looking for it and where. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BackEndless abstracts away all the boilerplate code that is required to get up and running with a back end for a mobile app, and lets you focus on the business logic for the app. Back end relational data, onboarding and authentication/authorization, file storage, etc. have all been taken care of. In addition to the great functionality, the backendless platform has some great bite sized training videos in the form of "missions" that guide you through implementing various bits of functionality and getting up to speed with the platform. There is an active forum, where you can ask questions when you get stuck, and APIs for popular mobile platforms. If you're looking for an alternative to FireBase, this would be a good option to take a look at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only problem that I ran into with BackEndless was the lack of support for an IP range for the back end. I ran into a case where I needed to call into another API to enable some key functionality, but the API required a whitelist of IP's that it would allow connections from. 95% of the time I don't think this would have been an issue, and was a peculiarity of my particular app, but I thought it bears mentioning.

It may be called Backendless, but the backend is where I spend most of my time, even in the tutorial. I love how much that I can do and visually see the connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tutorial needs to update a couple of missions. Plus, it sometimes didn't register that I finished a mission, leaving me trying to "get it right" for hours, when it turned out right all along. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Basically, you can build the most complicated applications without knowing how to write code. Everything is intuitive and logical. I tried other platforms to build my applications but they are limited or very expensive, but most of all it is not possible to let you build and charge you only after you put the application in production.

I hate that there is still no way to build an Android or IOS application directly. And I don't like it when the server crashes. It is true that it has been falling less and less lately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can integrate WEB and Mobile in a very simple way all the tools are there. The codeless option to program it's great if you know to code or not it's the same and that's very helpful. Mark Piller the CEO of the company it's on call 24/7 he helps me with questions during the weekend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was a malfunction during the coding process and a loss of a day because the automatic save or the backup was not working properly the support team help me with the problem and everything was back to normal. For 2 years just this only problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
