Alpha Anywhere Reviews & Product Details

Alpha Anywhere is a much more comprehensive product than the older Alpha Five offering. The good news is that it integrates with almost any SQL database, but this means one must have at least a modest understanding of SQL. Furthermore, the development of UX's which display in a browser is more complicated than simply creating a form for a desktop application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We eliminated the need for commercial apt. mgmt. systems that are more complicated, more expensive, and have less functionality. In addition, we have converted to mostly paperless documents and have automated our document management with intelligent document labeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm an independent developer working with database environments from mainframes to PCs for over 40 years. Alpha Anywhere allows me to assist companies and other developers worldwide with web development, hybrid web/mobile and mobile development for projects ranging from farm safety in Australia, mobile site security involving NFC tags in Australia, mobile service forms in Canada, PTO/PTA Management Systems in the US and many others. I get to help lend a hand to those building businesses. Alpha Anywhere allows me to have any number of different released versions installed which is immensely important since many of the projects I work on stay with different specific versions for long periods of time.

First, a confession: I'm a former MS Access developer (please don't judge me!). I converted to Access from DOS-based dBase IV. I discovered Alpha 5, several years ago, from an e-mail ad (that's what it used to be called... it became "Alpha Anywhere" a couple of years ago in order to highlight its ability to develop on multiple platforms). They offered a free trial, so I decided to give it a try. Well, after 2 weeks, I was hooked. The applications I develop now dwarf those I'd developed previously. I'm doing things that would never be possible in Access... and giving my customers "cloud" access to their apps. If you're a serious business application developer, you should certainly give it a try! Here are some things you should know (the good and the not-so-good): As an Access developer, I loved that I could use the back-end tables and queries in Alpha. That made the transition much faster. Now, most of my new applications use SQL Server (added security, reliability, and scalability), but I wouldn't fault anyone who stuck with Access tables (they're easier to create). Alpha lets you use almost any SQL-based application (MySQL, Access, SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) for your data set and even includes its own "dbf" format. They advertise Alpha as "codeless" development. Well, that's a bit misleading. YES, you can develop basic applications with little or no coding, but I've found that you'll need to learn some javascript and XBasic if you need your application to do more than rudimentary data entry and retrieval. That was my biggest struggle. With Access, I really needed only VBA. XBasic and javascript are more powerful and more complex. Even now, I feel like I have a lot to learn about javascript. Alpha still needs to work on its documentation (their new documentation site is much improved), but their "message board" is great and the Alpha community is a terrific resource to help you get ideas and resolve issues. I've fully installed more than a dozen full-scale applications (on public servers and my own servers) and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. I'd recommend Alpha Anywhere to any developer that's in it "for the long haul." It will grow as you do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a commercial developer and I develop applications for business customers. My customers love the end products. They are fast, attractive, reliable, and functional. They don't know who "Alpha" is... they just know that they like what they're using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Talk to the folks at Alpha. They are very knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. They provided me with two demos and answered any questions I had about the product along the way. Their pricing is clearly published on the website and I found that to be a plus. If you need a 45 minute call to determine price based on any number of factors that most likely you were more than my budget allowed to begin with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are developing web applications and mobile applications. Both public and internal. The speed at which applications can be built along with the flexibility of the data sources allows you to accomplish any business task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
