DronaHQ Pros and Cons

Weve been developing low code apps on Drona for close to a year, and compared to other vendores Drona has stood out due to the following:

1. Customer Support - Any problem, any time we need help, Drona support team has been available to meet and very quickly solves the issue.

2. Flow builders - really great funcionality in the flow builders from where you can build almost any backend services through.

3. New features - Drona is constantly imporving the product and pushing out improvements and new features, based on user feedback.

All in all, weve tried most of the low-code tools in the market and Drona is one of the best due to the above as well as ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The logs functionality could use improvement for more custom and specific logging needs, but weve been ale to embed a logging tool that works well with Drona. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With DronaHQ tool, building the UI is just a matter of plug & play. A small code will give you ability to add your business logic easily. This makes the tool very useful for technical and non-technical people.

DronaHQ tool is very vast and to use it optimum there is learning curve. Documentation can be improved in this line.

I appreciate the support provided by DronaHQ team. The support team makes sure that they will help you the most. Your requirements are considered with priority and gets added to the tool at the earliest. Your bugs reported get addressed immediately. Overall, very promt response from the team.

Major thing that is mostly observed is the load time. The tool and so the app implemented, sometimes takes considerable time to become responsive.

The tool can be enhanced with minor improvements, as an example, working with Rules for show/ hide of UI elements can be more easy by adding conditional disabling of the UI element. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excel sheets and linking easy to use and every body knw the type of work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At our organisation, we believe in cloud-first software, as this allows us to benefit from the best-of-breed solutions out there. However, we work in remote places that often have limited internet connection. DronaHQ provided us with a great solution to package some core functionality from our cloud information systems into simple mobile apps with offline capabilities. We recently implemented an inventory solution and built a DronaHQ app that seamlessly connects with our online inventory system's API. The DronaHQ app then stores the information locally to allow users to continue with important inventory operations, such as issuing of equipment, even without internet. Being a low-code platform, DronaHQ allows for faster app development and lower maintenance in comparison to building something from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the app is a little bit slow, but that's because we load a lot of data for offline use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DronaHQ excels at integrating multiple data sources in one place. You can create very detailed dashboards that are perfect for management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I can think of is the learning curve. You have to get accustomed to the UI, but once you do, you can build business applications with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

*Good customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure I have much. If I were to be picky, I'd say that it's a little hard to have user-specific pages and you can't hyperlink to a sub-page, just the app as a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features and options are excellent. The learning curve is acceptable. There are ways to do things that are simple, but it also has advanced capabilities if desired. It is an adequate substitute for custom code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can still be a little buggy at times, and the internal documentation and help pages are not great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say there's anything I like because when each page takes 1-2minutes to load, it's very difficult to appreciate anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was initially quoted approx $1k to configure the app from a contractor appointed by Dronahq. The bill ended up at $10k with a page loading speed of 1-2minutes. The contractor promised to rebuild the app but eventually just stopped replying to my emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform has significant functionality built in which allows it to be easily customised for a range if different requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is such vast functionality, it can sometimes be difficult to work out what can be deployed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With all of the many pre-built controls that can be used to create a web app, our internal tools are coming together very quickly. I like that there are so many integrations, and a strong support team to help resolve issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With all the regular improvements to the platform, sometimes existing features will begin behaving differently or stop working. I do find it necessary to save often and exit the development studio often so it can refresh and get updates as the Drona team works on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
