System Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/12/2018 "A great CSS and JS framework" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Materialize? This is absolutely amazing. The User Interface, its CSS modules such as tables,the grid layout for easy CSS, everything is absolutely flawless. Also the documentation is the cherry on the top, the proper documentation makes it so easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Materialize? It is a great framework overall; the only thing they could improve is to add better headers and footer templates for use. Apart from that, there is nothing, it is easy to use and understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Materialize: Just use it. It is awesome. The design is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Materialize solving and how is that benefiting you? CSS on websites can be a pain, to be very honest, but Materialize makes everything really simple. I have used tables, forms, and multiple javascript components and nav bars Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/23/2020 "Building Applications with pre-builted components!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Materialize? I love that materialize is already included inside NPM allowing you to easily import any of the the designs needed to build out an application. I love it because you don't have to reinvent the wheel when google provides you with great designs for building forms and such. I love it for that reason! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Materialize? I dislike that alot of the responsive features use Jquery which is pretty outdated. So you can't utilize some features in react such as Autocomplete without importing another library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Materialize: If you want a modern looking application, I would recommend Materialize to handle all of the CSS work for you! It's a great solution overall and will definitely make you have a foot over your competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Materialize solving and how is that benefiting you? When building our our application, we choose to use Materialize as our CSS Framework, this allowed us to focus on the development of handling operations and not the design. It looks great and works without having alter anything! It's great because it speed up a majority of development only focusing on what's important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/19/2019 "Modern minimalist themes" 5/5 What do you like best about Materialize? This CSS framework is very light, it is also easy to implement. What is best is that it is pretty easy to do mobile ready websites with it. The documentation just excellent! I really love it because you can just type what you want on their website and you will have a dedicated page on how to implement that class or component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Materialize? This framework is not "dislikable" for me. What could improve is the way to use navigation bars on containers. It can get tricky to get it to "full width" while maintaining the container's margins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Materialize solving and how is that benefiting you? I love to use it with Angular and find it more easy to use it with Angular than using it with Bootstrap, because Bootstrap is very dependent on its script file and materialize isn't. But if you need it, it can be included easily on the component you need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Engineer Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/9/2019 "Modern. Efficient. Powerful" 5/5 What do you like best about Materialize? The best part of this CSS framework is that besides being light, it is very easy to implement and use. The components are great and it has a really nice minimalist view that is great for both desktop and mobile displays! The documentation for materialize is just incredibly good! It is one of the best documentations I've ever read. Everything you need to know about this framework is there, and the search feature on the documentation is awesome. Not to mention that there is a community that uses this framework as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Materialize? I do not really dislike anything right now about this framework, but it could improve on the way that it handles the left and right margins when inside a container. It is a bit tricky to have the navigation bar to be expanded up to the display's margins and not have some spacing on the display's x axis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Materialize solving and how is that benefiting you? I primarily use it with Angular and it couples better than Bootstrap. Since it doesn't heavily relay on its script file (which is the contrary for Bootstrap), I can easily use with Angular without caring too much for its script file.

Software QA Automation Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/31/2019 "Very easy to implement and use" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Materialize? The framework is very clean and organized. You can find the class you need very fast and in a intuitive menu. It has the majority of the elements and front end interactions that you need to set up a very nice and good looking Website or web app. The best thing for me is the simple implementation using CDN or downloading the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Materialize? Even though materialize has its own documentation some times you need to make some changes that it is not specified in the doc. I would like materialize to have a community or at least the most common QAs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Materialize solving and how is that benefiting you? I had set up functional static websites in just some minutes using this framework with high acceptance and very good look and feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With so many new and old design trends it's hard to find that unique balance. Materialize takes an innovative approach to Material Design and incorporates modern web standards to provide a unique UI for the best possible user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Materialize? Even though this is a continuing CSS Framework I would like to see more developers involved to make this a standard Framework. Let's get this as popular as Bootstrap or Zurbs Foundation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Materialize: If you are looking for clean, well documented semantic code then Materialize is for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Materialize solving and how is that benefiting you? We needed a starting point for creating a new Brand for a client that involves mostly online Commerce with some user interactive forms. Since this specific client runs multiple online platforms it was hard trying to match each one with unique values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graphics Designer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/13/2019 "Materialize is the way to go for mobile web applications" 5/5 What do you like best about Materialize?
