Procedural support: manual actions can be replaced by one simple action button, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Scalability. Performance is a problem when you have many records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fully webbased solution, development environment as well as runtime. This means that you don't have to install any IDE and you can developen anytime anywhere. An the thing is: it really work and offers a robust and stable development platform that works as expected. I Always get really anoyed when peolpe start explaining how something should be working, when it actually isn't. BettyBlocks just works as expected!
BettyBlocks is a platform that I could really recommend to business end-users. It is so intuitive that business developers with a little IT affinity can start developing pilot applications after only a day or so of training.
What is also nice is that you can build the first version of your application on production and then very easily switch to an OTAP way of working afterwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed of development can quickly lead to a trial&error way of working. This can lead to obsolete objects and actions, which polute your application
I think the workflow part of BettyBlocks can an should be improved. Now you quickly have a lot of actions and you lose the overal view of how the (automated) processes work.
I also lose overview quickly on the custom models, when I import some complex API's. Maybe a per-API grouping would help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the instant usage of the application so I can see results and have a feeling how the system works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At the moment I haven't met any roadblocks as I got started. There are some minor issues when creating the apps when you re-use the same name for an app which you deleted. There could be a validation that the app name has already been used. Maybe I lack knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Betty Blocks offers all elements needed to create custom web applications in a nice looking and very easy to use interface. Apart from the basic aspects (datamodel, screens) it is the additional possibilities (workflows, actions, external interfaces, rights, expressions) that really make this platform very powerful.

Not much. A better way to create 1:n relations would be nice, and build-in multi-language support (but that is coming soon). Overall, most wishes are added quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Based on my recent experience with Betty Blocks platform, I must say that it is a great tool for building applications without any coding. One of the most impressive things is that you can set up a database models with relations between them very fast and very easy. Also, the platform can be connected with other services and technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very little. There are some limitations that need to be bypassed and that can be challenging work. However, that may not be a drawback, it just requires a bit of manageability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease in which a (non-) developer can create business applications at high speed. If you know the business, you can create an application for your own organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The accordion layout of the back-office might take a moment to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that we can now deliver much faster to our customers. We can shift the focus to other aspects of entire the customer journey. Also, we can now hire a different profile for application development so we can grow much faster as a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Betty Blocks should focus more on reusable parts to prevent repetitive tasks and develop (or not develop at all) even faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BB gives you the possibility to work in very short delivery cycles and have numerous feedback loops with your customers. The application grows organically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some features are not yet completely mature, but they are very open to tips and feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the fact that I can build apps on the go using E-R modelling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not all functionality is still available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything about Betty Blocks is rather unassuming. For any given task you need to complete, there are typically multiple ways of getting it done.
From simple to complex, Betty Blocks can do it all. It’s been used to build API endpoints, forums, blogs, business sites, brochure pages and multimedia sites. It can handle languages, advanced security permissions, and customizing of the manager for client logins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The codebase of Betty Blocks doesn’t utilize some modern PSR standards such as autoloading and namespaces
Don’t let this prevent you from trying Betty Blocks though: with age comes wisdom, and the entire Betty Blocks platform is quite capable, mature, secure, and extensible. However, you’ll see developers criticize the code patterns that can not be accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
