"SaaS in production and with sales in less than a month with Back4app"
What do you like best about Back4app?

Back4app is a very complete BaaS, it saves you having to configure parse-server (it's already a great tool), the database and production. It also has a very useful file system that puts your DB to rest and adds a great extension to the parse-dashboard UI that makes setting everything up very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Back4app?

Parse's learning curve can be a drawback if you're considering using this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"You should not think much about your backend and the infrastructure!"
What do you like best about Back4app?

You just have to focus on your product! DB crud operations cannot be more easy, they have api documentation, god this will save some much time by using any programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Back4app?

The UI for db browser needs enhancements, sometimes it is a bit slow because there no proper pagination there when the data is loaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy with b4app, will continue to use it."
What do you like best about Back4app?

Support is very quick and helpful. I have used back4app for 3 projects now and 2 were migrated from other providers simply because of simplicity of b4app documentation, relation, speed, SDKs. Further, also the customisable environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Back4app?

The documentation UI looks old and no ability to search, also the dashboard can be updated mostly the fonts used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone who is in the process of learning about app development, Back4App has been user-friendly.

What do you dislike about Back4app?

So far, only the limitations on free usage, but I completely understand why they have them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The open source Parse Server and managed scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
