The Backendless team have put together an extremely powerful plateform. It makes for easier and faster development with very few constraints and a lot of possibilities. Whether front-end design or database and API, or even server-side code, it's all possible, in multiple programming languages, but most importantly with Codeless, their home-grown visual logic design. But that's not all, the team is always there to help customers and they provide very reactive support, even to users like me who have started designing their product but not launched yet. I haven't started paying Backendless yet, and they have provided a lot of quality help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have discovered Backendless only 6 months ago, and judging from the support forums, the product has gained a lot of maturity in the last years. There are still some enhancements which could make the developer's work easier and faster, like being able to copy-paste from one component or page to another, and importing external data in a more user-friendly fashion. But the team is working on it and they are getting there. The platform is already pretty mind-blowing ! Also, the written documentation is sometimes lacking. There are tons of videos but I prefer reading to video-watching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a significant solution package with a complete set of features for developing mobile and web applications with the backend. Being a backend developer I use backendless for developing APIs. Making documentation of the APIs and sharing it with other developers is also made very simple. The best thing about it is that we can test frontend and backend communication without integrating the APIs. Multiple user support is also a great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The User Interface should be improved. Sometimes it gets a little messy when a lot of data is being loaded. You need to have coding knowledge up to some extent to use its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing comes to mind. A very pleasant product to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It gives us a very systematic approach to develop APIs for mobile and web applications. We can create our own workplace where different users can work on the same thing at the same time. We can create and share API documentation with other developers. The best thing about it is that we can test functionalities without frontend integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Coding skills are needed up to some extent to use this software. The user interface is a little messy which can be sorted out for a better experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Backendless takes a huge chunk of the uncertainty of backend infrastructure out of the equation when starting a new app project, it scales with your app and provides a very useful api that can be leveraged easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've had quite a few occasions where we need to escalate to support because of various code that didn't work on the backendless side, especially when developing server-side apis in Java. That said, the support team are always on hand via slack and the support forum and generally fix issues pretty quickly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I mostly like the codeless part, where you can build your backend just like playing a puzzle game. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would not say dislike, but rather a suggestion. The overall documentation can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Some pretty well thought out tools utilities
-incredible support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Hard limitations when trying to do advanced things.
- Documentation is lacking/out of date in areas.
- The pricing structure can force awkward development patterns; need to engineer to reduce billing, rather than engineer the simplest solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Have most of the services required for a small or medium application size Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way to extract information from data tables, sometimes is not easy as a relational database. Also, at the beginning in my development, some functionalities (like push notifications for Android and Apple) doesn't work properly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
