UI Bakery Reviews & Product Details

I have seven years of coding experience. My background is primarily with front-end serverless web development and mobile app development using front-end web technology.

That background has me hardwired to expect things to work a certain way. I think like a coder, even when working with low-code solutions. And that can be problematic with tools like Bubble. But not at all with UI Bakery.

During my first experience, I found the entire interface and approach extremely comfortable; like slipping on a well-worn pair of shoes. Everything was right where I expected it to be and worked like I expected it to work the first time. I had it connected to a custom Notion CRM in minutes without even looking at the docs.

The feature set and component selection cover almost every use case I can think of. UI Bakery exceeded both Retool and Appsmith in that category.

If I ever find myself wanting something very specific, I'm confident I can pull it off with UI Bakery, because code, variables, and data are first-class citizens. Whereas with tools like AppSmith, you have to manage each one in its own area and then awkwardly wire it up after. With UI Bakery, it's all just right there, and somehow still not cluttered.

I found some of the documentation a little thin on edge use cases. For example, when I installed the On-Premise version, I couldn't find a lot of information on how to connect to a database on the machine where the Docker was hosted. I connected to external data sources, with no problem, though.

However, I couldn't even get AppSmith or Retool to work on my machine at all. AppSmith documentation was out of date and Retool needed a ton of configuration that made it unclear why it wasn't working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI Bakery has a complete set of widgets and makes it very easy to design complex UI interfaces for single-page applications- I appreciate the connectors to external sources from which you can read and manipulate data.

Big plus for the application log, and the possibility to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Minor bugs on some components (map,tree viewers).

Sometimes it is hard to understand the flow of execution for the actions triggered by status changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Incredibly easy to prototype - I'm now using this every day and blowing EVERYONES MINDS!!!

I've been looking for this kind of tool for 10 years. In those 10 years I've gone from barely understanding Bootstrap and Javascript/JQuery to full-stack-development but ALWAYS was blocked by Cloud Infrastructure deployments and the challeges of learning a/some/many UI libraries.

UIB intuitive (for me) and elimates ALL THE HARD PARTS of development: the command line interfaces and disjointed-but-interconnected parts of an app. UI Bakery approaches it UI first and it's a HOME RUN! I'm amazed. I might just be able to convince my company to standardize on this to save MONTHS OF DEVELOPMENT TIME!

Integrated AI in custom Code.

EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE custom code blocks

The ACTION Engine - OMG YES!

Freaking EASY releases OMG! BUILT IN VERSION CONTROL?!

Modular Concept - I DON"T HAVE TO UPDATE EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME?!? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not full controls over every aspect of every component - need to "discover" attributes or funcitonality, or hack it myself.

Minor glitches in selecting objects, copying & pasting.

Documentation is being updated, kinda barebones rn. There are definitely best practices that should be talked about more!

Someone mentioned breakpoints in the code would be nice - agreed.

I do wish there was a way to "package" my code for a self-hosted deployement elsewhere. Like I can "BAKE" the app, then give it away to someone else to actually set up and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Features are well implemented, well documented and, most importantly, work as described. Template library is robust and data source options are simple and easy to setup, configure, and modify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would love to see more complete external JavaScript library support, they are supported but the 3 I tried for my last project were all incompatible for unknown reasons. Also would be nice to have a little better method and features for creating an API or Query Data Source and referencing the endpoints within, currently a fair amount of coding has to be repeated in each "Action."

UI Bakery offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that significantly speeds up UI development. It allows non-technical users to create functional and polished interfaces, which is great for teams without dedicated front-end developers. It is very easy to use and get up to speed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While UI Bakery is great for rapid prototyping, there could be more customization options available for advanced use cases. Some features are a bit limited if you're looking for deep customizations or more complex UI logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feature I like the most about UI Bakery is its convenience when it comes to building an app that could have taken days in hours. Me and my team are able to respond to requests in a timely manner and present our costumers a visually appealing and intuitive interface that they can use immediately. The idea to product process is extremely easy, and we have been able to contact the support team with ideas that were implemented in following versions. We use UI Bakery daily and we have never faced a blocker or problem that would not let us move forward with our integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I somewhat dislike that some charcteristics of the components are not really customizable and the grid can make some components not fit like I would like them to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have adopted UI Bakery for the management of all our immigrations cases in our company, and I can confidently say we are happy with it. The app lets us create anything we want in a manner very highly adaptable. We have made different types of reports and the best thing is you wouldn't face any problem while creating reports. I found UI Bakery very intuitive when I started with it! Everything works not have to long to understand, besides, customer service is highly efficient. Whenever I have an issue, they do everything possible to assist me, which is really important. The features and components are very helpful and easy to use and implement. In our company we use it everyday and we're very satisfied with this amazing tool. Also, you can integrate almost anything easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the basic features are intuitive, some of the more advanced functionalities might require additional time or support. Also, some users may experience occasional performance lags, especially with larger datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It's fairly easy to get started with the basics when implementing

- Even though it's fairly easy to get started, it is very powerful with a lot of flexible features, so if you have the skills you can create something fairly comprehensively

- I have used the AI Assistant quite a lot when working on complex SQL queries or actions, and I would say 8/10 times it has been useful and come up with at least 90% of a solution

- The free plan still has the majority of features that anyone would ever have to use

- Error messages are clear and point to the location of the issue quite well

- OOTB theme on free plan is decent and quite pleasing on the eye (and more importantly, feel modern)

- Plenty of useful components, but the ability to write your own custom components means that the components system is pretty powerful

- Seems a lot more comprehensive and intuitive than it's rivals (I tried several before settling on UI Bakery) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The AI wasn't brilliant when it came to debugging, had to do a lot of manual prompts to get to a point where it understood what I was asking

- The database doesn't allow too many concurrent users (at least in the free plan), causing me to have to rewrite actions in a different way where sql queries are ran sequentially rather than concurrently. This leads to a slightly slower load time, even on a simpler application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance, scalability, API connections are pretty straightforward, easy to develop and it's learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes loading times are a bit slow depending on the amount of data being loaded in a table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using UI Bakery for several years to automate our operations. We started with small apps, but now we have critical internal systems fully implemented with this platform. The ability to achieve results quickly is a standout feature. While it appears simple initially, it's incredibly powerful and flexible. Everything we wanted to build was possible with UI Bakery.

The team behind UI Bakery is exceptional. They are always responsive and helpful, ensuring any issues or questions are addressed promptly. This level of support has made our experience very positive.

The platform’s robust capabilities combined with excellent customer service have made UI Bakery an indispensable tool for our development needs. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to streamline their operations and improve productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing we would like to see is the addition of more components and easier customization options. Having the ability to organize apps into folders would also be a great improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
