DreamFactory Reviews & Product Details

DreamFactory is extremely easy to use as their user interface is very easy to follow. You set up your connections using their configurable options and you immediately gain access to APIs that connect to you data. The various types of API connections that DreamFactory offers is top notch. HTTP, SOAP, REST, Scripting, Files, DBs, and the list goes on. Think about how much time you spend on creating your APIs for your applications. Take the number of hours multiplied by the cost of the resources it takes to code APIs into existence. DreamFactory abstracts that layer of complexity by automating it, delivering APIs that are ready to consume. It also integrates well with your applications. I use DreamFactory nearly every day to consume data from various data sources. The customer support is also top notch; the folks over at DreamFactory know what they're doing.

I have not run into anything that I dislike about DreamFactory. As a software developer and data engineer, the upsides far outweigh any potential downsides that may occur. DreamFactory has saved me so much time on API development that it's difficult to think of any downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me personally, I love how easy it is to use, even for those with less experience with APIs. Unlike many other API development platforms, in DreamFactory manual coding isn't needed in most cases, this saves a lot of time and effort.

I was able to connect my MySQL database and set up user permissions for my new app in minutes, something that would have taken me hours of coding otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me it's the paid plans, it can sometimes be quite expensive for some people. Other than that, I am satisfied with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Cost, think that is expensive.

- In order to test more data sources needs to acess to trial period

- Improve documentation examples, need to do some research in order to understand how was working the access token API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's pretty easy to get a REST API up and running for quick prototyping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a little bit of a learning curve where you're aligning your understanding of APIs with the structure of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and to setup (for local deployment); Good documentation; Great set of databases / backends Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dreamfactory has enabled me to have easier, faster and more secure access to our on-site data sources than ever before. What used to take all day now only takes minutes. The ability to tailor what data is able to served and the access control are a HUGE benefit as well.

The technical team is extremely knowledgeable and helpful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a minor quibble, but the inability to create Swagger 2 / OpenAPI 2 compliant endpoints makes it cumbersome to use in conjunction with Microsoft's Azure or Power Platform. Though, I see that as more of a problem with Microsoft than Dreamfactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very intuitive gui which makes developer job easier. Have been using dream factory to generate apis for MySQL. It helps in decreasing the work of developer to generate corresponding APIs for a given db Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as of now. Very great work by dream factory team to help the developers to complete their APIs calls in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support/sales team are great, the GUI is fairly intuitive. We have a very limited use case and this was set up for us by an implementer, but the elements we need to look at on occasion are simple to locate and understand. It has never failed to be operating in the 4 years we have it working for our Salesforce integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not scalable in terms of pricing, our setup is very small in terms of what it processes, it would be nice to be able to scale this based on the small number of transactions we are handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
