Very easily integrate front-end UX & back-end automation with existing data sources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Somewhat of a learning curve to get started. You need to understand some basics of software engineering to take full advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Superblocks abstracts away a lot of development overhead so that a fully-functional web app can be built with only a bit of Python or Javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Superblocks works great for typical use cases, I do sometimes run into bugs or unsupported features when I am working on something niche. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fantastic UI, speed of development and flexibility it offers are a game-changer. It allows my team to create internal tools that add value fast and solve issues that would otherwise take a lot more time to make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Google Sheets integration could be better, it's very limited and doesn't allow programatir selection of documents. Permissions need to be more granular. There should also be a way to dinamically set integration parameters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Superblocks is a great way to quickly test out and rapidly prototype ideas. Once they take form, you can put them to use and continue to iterate on what works. What you are looking for might not exist today, but top notch support is willing to help you find a solution with what is available, and with an evolving featureset, there've been times where they later added functionality to help me more directly achive my needs.

Rolling out new features and improvements is great, but there have been times where bugs/incompatibilities were released to my surprise. Thankfully, their support were able to address my issues quickly.
Group access controls are pretty fairly crude so achieving anything more than the simplest RBAC can be clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best about Superblocks is its user-friendly interface that allows for easy automation of workflows without sacrificing customization options. The platform seamlessly integrates with various tools, enabling us to create and manage complex tasks efficiently. Its drag-and-drop functionality, combined with the ability to add custom logic, makes it a powerful tool for both technical and non-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Superblocks is generally user-friendly, I find that some advanced features could be more robust. There are occasional performance lags, especially when handling larger or more complex workflows. Additionally, the customization options, while strong, sometimes require more technical know-how than anticipated, which might be challenging for users who are less technically inclined.

Quick workflow setup and testing. The webhooks and integrations allow me to design my workflow with clear steps and logic. I love the convenient python and JavaScript code blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have no real complaints about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very easy to connect data source and make some data visualization. The tool is simple to use. If you want to go further, custom components could be created in React, very good point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Always working with VSCode, the IDE provided for the code is not that UX friendly. The fact that when we press a component, the editing tool appears directly. Maybe an option like "Studio" or "Editing" will solve this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Extremely powerful! Very easy and quick to wire up external API integrations, create multi-step flows between UI and backend APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there was more documentation with examples and best practices, for creating more complex, advanced flows and interactions between the UI and APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Easy to create function with python and javascript
- Intuitive UI to create visualization
- Easy to get started and up and running
- Easy to integrate with database
- Easy to debug
- Has staging environment for development
- The autocompute to connect component and variable together is chef's kiss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When cutoimization is needed, limitations start to occur. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Prior to Superblocks, we had multiple different teams working on their own DIY frameworks to solve different internal tooling needs. We eventually hit a point where the maintenance and upgrading of SDKs and frameworks, onboarding of new developers, and other ci / cd processes became a huge drag on actually delivering solutions. Superblocks has allowed us to offload that drag and get back to building tooling that solves needs and improves efficiencies in our organization. It’s also enabled us to shift most of our internal tooling development to junior engineers as they can learn the tool extremely quickly, and most of the time have something deployed by end of day!
Additionally, Superblocks has allowed us to build tooling in a more interactive way. Since it’s extremely quick to drag and drop components and hook up APIs and database connections, we can start prototyping solutions for teams in meetings while they give direct feedback. This allows us to greatly reduce back-and-forth as we try to build custom workflows and processes for different teams in our organization.
We have also started making a lot of use of their workflow builder. It’s much easier to build out ETLs and data sync processes when you don’t have to worry about spinning up a service, infrastructure to support it, and all the devops concerns when you are just trying to get data in the right place.
Overall, Superblocks has been a great platform for us to build out applications, ETLs and syncs. It allows us to build out internal tooling solutions 2-3x faster, with much less overhead. Throughout this process, the Superblocks team has been incredibly helpful. We have been able to give direct feedback on their roadmap and get help with implementation and report bugs directly in Slack to them. It’s been a great experience so far, and I look forward to a lot of the roadmap items they are delivering this year! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything currently missing in Superblocks is on their roadmap, but the main things I’m looking forward to are
- Solution for global navigation to give end users a better interface to see applications available and switch between them
- Multi page applications
- More administrative features around workflows and scheduling jobs
- Layouts to allow grid-based reactive UIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
