Amazing productivity with automatic data-binding to any JDBC database and a WYSIWYG editor for point and click UI design. Begin coding quickly with the simple JavaScript API. If you need more, there is the ability to extend with the Java API so nearly anything is possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation is good, but could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Servoy has a beautiful API and plugins that allow us to develop application in a very short time. It was not very hard to learn (even I had never written anything using JavaScript, touched HTML and seen CSS).
We've been able to develop work of art / award winning solutions within record time, having an average of a few hundred concurrent users a day,
The whole team at Servoy is very friendly, helps a lot and listens to our needs.
Definitely the best move I've ever done is from Visual FoxPro to Servoy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From Servoy... Hard to say.
Maybe documentation for a beginner is not great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We had a server issue and our Servoy app had become damaged and would not boot. We called Servoy CEO and he put an engineer on the case withing 10 minutes and was able to diagnose and resolve the issue with our tech team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There were no issues that were unsatisfactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to choose when to reuse business logic, and when to re-write. Also, Servoy manages the many layers of technology for us, allowing us to focus on business logic and screens for deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At this point in our relationship there is nothing of significant concern that would deter us from embracing Servoy as a tech partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Appsurance program has been very helpful in our efforts to modernize our UI/UX together with our Progress Db Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Need a larger selection of ready to go widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
Speed up delivery of improvements for: continuous delivery/deployment strategy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Servoy has enabled our business to develop high quality, advanced smart and web based database applications for over 10 years and all from a single codebase. Its agile, flexible, friendly, robust and secure. Servoy has allowed us to create ground breaking and award winning case management applications, with great integrations with many third party applications, and deploy these to serious medical and legal professionals over the 12 years we have been using this platform.
Whats more the company is approachable, helpful and works with its developer community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Microsoft, .net and any other platforms where the cost and time of development is 10X that which is offered by Servoy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We market a vertical application to hundreds of companies and needed a platform that not only would give us RAD capabilities but also handles the deployment site of things (on-premises and Cloud). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maybe the pricing part, though if I have to choose between risking my business or paying for a platform and expertise to get it done and reduce my risk, the choice is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Servoy Framework made it possible for us to convert an obsolete yet vital FoxPro application into a modern database. We used in-house programming staff (who Servoy trained) and contract developers through Servoy. This company stands behind their promises and has top quality personnel.

There is nothing about Servoy that would keep me from recommending it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
