ease of integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the new user may find it intimidating until they start feeling comfortable with the location of resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is a complete solution for building any kind of web or mobile application — front end + back end, with unbelievable amounts of "out of the box" components and functionalities. Very intuitive to learn, and for any question or support requests the Backendless team is quick to respond and help. Great community and company culture, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation could use some work — because there are so many functions/features, it seems like the Backendless team has some catching up to do with adding more detail, examples, etc to their documentation. Having said that, the courses and tutorial videos on YouTube are amazingly well done and super useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is useful when you don't have time to code a full backed since a lot of features are given straight away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They change prices from time to time depending on their business model, so suddenly the bill can be like 4x what you were paying for the same services. So it's not reliable as a long term backend.

Customer support usually respond fast but when you provide all the requested information to fix an issue they just ghost and stops replying emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backendless makes developing useful and usable web applications enormously easier than with traditional web dev tools. The support is second-to-none. The UI is so well-designed. I easily geared up to build simple apps in a matter of an hour and more complex apps in days instead of months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation needs substantial enhancement. Too many of the answers to my questions require digging through forum topics, which often are not clear or complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In creating my first app, I chose Backenless, and it was such a great decision to launch myself into the world of successful app owners. The process of storyboarding the UX was second to none. I felt like they were looking out for my investment and the UX and the same time. This company deserves a chance to bid on your project. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

I really can't think of anything. They were on time and on budget with a great product. If there is one thing to say is, "it's me," I want to done faster than is appropriate, but they managed my timeline expectations exceptionally well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support forums/ community is by far the best aspect. Mark pillar is a huge part of this. Knowing you can get a real human to respond you any questions you have is huge.

the support is the main reason we chose backendless over aws or other large services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The column sorting in the data browser being tied to the browsers cache. I clear my cache for performance and sometime use other browsers so it would be nice to be able to have a custom default column sort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very intuitive interface, nice drag and drop builder even for complex logic in the code.

They also have a great product tour to get you familiar with key functions of the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its not completely clear on what the best practice is for using blocks or containers etc in the frontend builder.

Something to give more direction on that would help reduce time working things out yourself.

The other item, is if you have a block in the logic builder that is not connected to something and navigate away, there is no prompt, you just lose that whole block which could have had a bunch of config in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feature that stands above the rest is their customer service. They have set the bar. Responses to issues are immediate and often come from the founder himself. Extraordinary! Then you add the robust feature set and ease of use, and you have a first-class platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far.

I have been using Backendless for 1 1/2 months now and in that time I have worked through the product tour to unlock a springboard account. I have developed a proof-of-concept app using the iOS SDK and SwiftUI. I have also deployed a server-side event handler written in Java. All of this was effortless thanks to the ease of use, tools, examples, and customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The no code logic is great and very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new pricing system is not very predictable and short usage spikes turn out yo be very rxpensive very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
