"Vaadin - Create your UI with Java!"

4/5

What do you like best about Vaadin?

Vaadin framework helps me to build UI for my java based application without Javascript knowledge. But it helps me to learn Javascript framework a lot so I learned Polymer framework as well.

What do you dislike about Vaadin?

Sometimes Vaadin application is slower than similar application written in Angular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vaadin solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have worked on DMS system based on Vaadin components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pay to develop"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Vaadin?

-Basic Frontend develop becomes accesible to backend developers with mostly Java knowledge.

-Integration with Spring for a better time-to-market app

-Vaadin Platfrom abstraction is very realistically mapped to the web techonologies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vaadin?

-Very small community, forum question have almost no answers normally.

-Documentation is very, but very weak. If Spring documentation is a 10 they are almost a 2. Almost everything is lacking in its explanation in the documentation and it gets worse with lazy loading data providers and other features that are more complex.

-Tutorials give no in-depth knowledge of the abstraction. They never tell you how it works behind the hood to the point it seems that they don't tell you on purpose so you upgrade you subscription for techincal support. It makes it that suspicious.

-It has many basic features in its released components that should exist or be working according to a convetion but are not. They're releases don't seem finished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vaadin:

- If you are ready to pay the prime subscription for techincal support i think it is a promising solution, or also if it is a simple frontend app like a crud. Otherwise do not recomend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vaadin solving and how is that benefiting you?

You are solving the issue of the need of hiring a frontend developer. The benefits is the time-to-market and lower expense you have with a smaller team if you are not building a complex frontend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
