ŽV Željko Will V. Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/20/2023 "EXTREMELY intuitive - backend published within minutes" 5/5 What do you like best about 8base? As a backend developer who likes to jump right in w/o reading the docs (yes, I'm that guy) - I was pleasantly surprised I could set up a production-ready backend within 15 minutes!! I just defined a couple of DB tables, clicked a couple of buttons, and voila -\> backend deployed, APIs automatically working (including pagination, filtering, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about 8base? Not much, really. Some old habits die hard because I like seeing a lot of code and everything explicitly defined (in code). But the entire purpose of 8base is to write less code and be more productive. Plus, everything that is automatically generated can be customized, so I have nothing to worry about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is 8base solving and how is that benefiting you? Starting new projects, testing new ideas, and getting them to market used to be 10 times harder with all the usual development overhead. Not only do things get done faster now, but also the entire project is production-ready and scalable. So if an idea I'm testing goes viral, I KNOW I can take on a million new users overnight without any code adjustments. That is truly powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/22/2023 "Commitment to innovation" 5/5 What do you like best about 8base? Have been following the evolution of the low-code platform for several years. The 8base team keeps introducing new features and productivity tools for developers that make the experience of building on the platform a snap.
