Top Rated Jmix Alternatives
Jmix has been a fantastic tool for our academic research projects. As a small team, we especially appreciate the ability to develop the entire application stack, from database to frontend, using just Java code. This significantly reduces development time and complexity. Additionally, our students with basic Java knowledge can pick up Jmix quickly, making it an excellent fit for our academic environment.

It's important to evaluate the long-term viability of Jmix 1.5 projects. While Jmix 1.5 offers Long-Term Support (LTS), developers should consider the potential benefits of migrating to Jmix 2.x, particularly if a more modern UI framework or advanced features are desired.

Jmix is the best option to develop world-class bussiness applications in Java.
Its magic resides in the ability to develop a full stack solution without being a front end developer. Its library of GUI components is good enough of any business application, specially those form-based. The data binding happens magically and enables the developer to focus on the business logic. It is extensible, API ready for integrations. Also Its report module is also very useful. The Entity Log is really powerful and it was a differentiator in our case.
Using IntelliJ as a tool is a plus too.
The documentation is complete and the user forum is active too, I always found the answers I needed.
If you need to create and mantain a business application for a department, go for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Open IntelliJ, start writing your business logic and DON'T waste time writing templates, authentication, RBAC, screen management, middlewares, migrations... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd love some "magic" auto UI ala Apache Causeway: take my models, let me define actions elsewhere and come up with the UI yourself. (That would also save me from writing a single UI test) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to get more developers using Jmix so we can grow the name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Jmix is based on the most popular Java framework - Spring (Spring Boot) for the backend, with integrated Vaadin for the frontend UI. By choosing both frameworks, Jmix provided a full-stack framework for Java/Kotlin developers.
As a leader of the development team in an IT consulting company, I feel Jmix is an awesome framework, due to the following reasons:
1. It integrates the most popular Java frameworks and libraries. Developers are willing to learn and use it with happiness.
2. It provides Jmix Studio to help developers accelerate the pace of delivery, through code snippets, visual designers for data model/UI page/business process/roles, one-click local run, etc. Such that our developers are just focused on our business logic without writing a lot of boilerplate codes.
3. It provides a lot of ready-to-use add-ons with all needed parts from database to UI, like BPM/Charts/Email/Maps, etc.
4. They provided detailed documentation.
5. They have a developers' forum, where we can search for similar issues or ask new questions.
6. When delivering the products to customers, there is no license fee at all, this is a huge advantage compared with those low-code platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think one of the downsides is that Jmix uses Vaadin 8, which is hard to be customized, especially since we have customers in China, who like "beautiful" UI. Sometimes we spent a half-day adjusting the style of a Table or Datagrid. But glad to say, Jmix team has the plan to upgrade the Vaadin framework to the latest LTS version 23+, which should be much better I expect.
By the way, we have projects that need highly customized frontend UI, and Jmix Rest SDK is not perfect enough, we need to implement basic functionalities like token refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Jmix studio helps generate standardized code which decreases mistakes of developers, especially for data modal design.
2. Add-on design makes projects easy to be maintained and managed.
3. User just needs to focus on business; the framework handles much enterprise-level work itself.
4. Easy to develop rest API.
5. Out-of-box entity inspector and its data filtering, export/import helps administration work.
6. Open-source; easy to extend.
7. Support: Forum with quick reply; and documents.
8. Trustable team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of vaadin experts for complex UI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
