Top Rated Servoy Alternatives
Flexibility and the fact that we can primarily focus on functionality instead of building 'the stack'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A list of performance tweaks, especiallly relevant to large solutions would help (like mentioned at the end of the previous CAB meeting recording).
Also saving/building takes really long (depending on environment, multiple minutes). How can this be optimized? Maybe better solution/module setup?
Suggestions:
It would be nice to have or build a best practices library. I know there are some videos on Servoy universtity but they are hard to find for our typical developer. They should be like really simple code snippets they can look at.Some examples :
How to setup and use modules
How to organize the work space
What are good code/naming conventions
OOP (classes and constructors, inheritance )
How to create abstract code and interfaces
Best way to loop foundsets
Handling big datasets
Best way to design forms in your app (baseforms, inheritance)
We are struggling also to keep our developers up to date with standards and new servoy features. Maybe show these randomly at (optional) tips at startup?
A common pitfall is writing code or create a specific approach that runs very fast on a local developers workspace, but tends to get slow on real client-server environments where network latency and server roundtrips come into place.
What is a best practice for database usage among a development team. Sometimes a central db is preferred, but a local database works a lot quicker and allows better sandboxing. Support for database seeds from developer could be nice. To be able to distribute them even nicer.
Examples and best practices of unit tests.

Servoy is an astonishing platform with help of which we developed applications by using its library we become able to get records from the database. We really admire its design tools that are unique and so helpful. We have found it as a complete package that has allowed us to link with the database, to design form, and to write a code. it has made application development super convenient .we utilized its other essential functions also and they too worked so well and we have found it excelling in debugging too. So overall it is an incredible tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have found it as a complete package with all the essentials features required for application development but the only thing that trobled is that it doesn’t work well with customized javascript. using custom javascript caused us massive trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing of Servoy design tool and using libraries for getting records from database.
I mean there is one place where we can create connection with database, design form and write a code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like every feature in it so i dnt think there is any missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- A library or function already exists for most any purpose
- Powerful, flexible data handling capabilities
- RAD thanks in part to so many common functions (navigation, security, etc.) being available
- Use of the eclipse IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not exactly a "dislike" but 1 issue I had: Builds could take a very long time when connected to legacy data (Visual FoxPro DBF files, using JDBC). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Very fast realization of working software
- Great team, fun to work with, listens to customer needs
- Ability to work with Javascript and ability to create custom components
- Annual Servoy World conference Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Not in all aspects 'the latest and greatest' in tech. That's also not needed, but in some cases we revert to additional tech to complement Servoy (we also use node.js and react.js)
- Would be great if the community was bigger and more documentation was available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very personable company that you know will be there to assist you with your development needs. I encourage anyone looking for a powerful and robust development platform to modernize their existing desktop, thin client, Cloud or SaaS applications to take a serious look at the development environment we chose, Servoy.

The concerns that I raised with Yvo Boom, Managing Director, were addressed. This is why I continue to advocate for Servoy because they listen to their customers and work hard to make your transition and your projects successful so they are completed on time.

What I like best about Servoy is the people behind the product. They have always done what they have promised, even when it was not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Servoy development environment has been consistently updated every year for the past 10 years. Sometimes it is a challenge to keep up with all the changes, however it is good to be using a product that stays current. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
