"Review on Graphcool"
5/5
What do you like best about Graphcool?

What do you dislike about Graphcool?

Limited customization: While Graphcool/Prisma provides a lot of built-in functionality, developers may find that there are limits to what they can do without writing custom code.

Cost: Graphcool/Prisma is a paid service, which can be a disadvantage for developers or organizations with limited budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually, it is a good framework, however, there are some drawbacks like there are no plugins for syntax support in IDE and Cascade delete is not possible due to lack of relations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
