Desarrollador de software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/15/2018 "Vaadin rapid development of applications with easy maintenance." 4/5 What do you like best about Vaadin? What I like about Vaadin is that it is a great software with which you can create applications in a very short time, that is, it allows the creation of less complex web applications, which implies that they are easier to use for the user as well. as for the developer because the maintenance of the applications becomes less rigorous, also offers different languages ​​so you can choose the one you want to create from buttons to very attractive graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Vaadin?

JL Jeffrey L. CEO Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/30/2018 "A great framework for large applications" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Vaadin? I get all the magic and type safety of JVM languages on the client-side. Good performance and easy integration with non-Vaadin js libraries. It just works; client- and server-side is synchronized, nice deployment, easy debugging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Vaadin? The API isn't as well rounded as, say, Qt. Because of this, better docs. would be nice. It's can be a little challenging in the design phase as code that "feels" as though it's running on the client is actually running on the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Vaadin: Stay away from x.0 releases. Vaadin 10 is the future of Vaadin, so start there; there are some hole but they're plugging them quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Vaadin solving and how is that benefiting you? A single source code tree from back-end all the way to customer facing for a large N-tier enterprise application. By concentrating on a thin client (Vaadin client-side) and a rich back-end (Vaadin server-side and our stuff), we've increased scalability, enforced good design, and have offered a desktop and mobile client with a single tool chain and source code tree.

Technology Analyst Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/1/2018 "Excellent Java UI framework for enterprise applications" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Vaadin? I really like Vaadin because it is built on Google Web Toolkit and allows to build web applications in JavaScript, Java EE, Scala, Groovy, and HTML. It covers all the required components for building the web apps such as Charting, labels, buttons, tabular data, and data picker. It provides the easiest way to access the data and process it. I just need a browser to run the application and no REST services are required. The most important think which I like is that there is no separation in the front end and the database backend as it is in other frameworks like J2EE. All code can be written easily in a single Programming language for the entire application, which is a plus point for an enterprise application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Vaadin? Since it is mostly for large applications, the initial project loading is on a slower side due to heady application codes and you need to wait for a few minutes before the project can be loaded. One more thing which I dislike is it takes some time for the developer to understand the framework and it is not like JavaScript which is very easy to learn. So, you need to invest some time on learning it before actually jumping in and start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Vaadin: It is worth trying for large enterprise applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Vaadin solving and how is that benefiting you? As I am working on mostly large scale enterprise application, Vaadin is excellent for this purpose. The maintenance of the entire application becomes simpler as only one language is used in the entire application. As Vaadin is built on top of other languages like JavaScript and CSS, it helps in easy implementation and automation of UI pages in the entire application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android Developer and IT Informant Marketing and Advertising Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/22/2018 "Front end using java, great but requires adapting" 4/5 What do you like best about Vaadin? The fact that you can put the whole webpage front-end and back-end in one language, Java, instead of needing to split it with Javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Vaadin? It's challenging as it takes quite a bit to have an understanding on how to actually use it, probably would take the same timescale as to learn Javascript instead, although if you're familiar with Java obviously it's much faster to learn the Vaadin framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Vaadin: Definitely recommended if you want to keep the whole web app infrastructure strictly focused on Java, with no need for any Javascript at all, although obviously if you are already fluent and comfortable with javascript you'll achieve much more with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Vaadin solving and how is that benefiting you? Maintaining a website using strictly java, requiring only java developers to fulfil the role. It's considerably beneficial as the whole development team speak in one language and can contribute and help with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very mature and stable product. The functionality is great, the looks are great, the documentation is great & the online community is great. As a Java developer who specialised in Swing, stumbling across Vaadin when researching what framework to use to port our legacy Swing app to a Web app was like a dream come true! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Vaadin? One drawback of Vaadin is its poor scalability, Vaadin was never built for massive public-facing web sites. If you need facebook-level scalability Vaadin isn’t the best tool for that. But for anything less, Vaadin demonstrably works, and works well. Another thing is that it has a higher load on network and server (memory, processor) and it is Unsuitable for fancy GUIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Vaadin: You will hit the ground running, and for the most part you really can forget about being in a Web environment (you will be spending 99.9% of your time coding in pure Java). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Vaadin solving and how is that benefiting you? Our company has been more than a decade with their "vaadin legacy big application" in production. The new development went live some months ago, and both apps are maintained and worked on with ease.

I like this product because it allows me to work on developing apps quickly and effectively. I love that it uses a Java web platform, which I am most familiar with, and also has app templates available for use, which streamlines my development process. They really focus on having a good user experience as well as a good developer experience, which I value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Vaadin? Sometimes the platform will crash, and I will lose some saved work. This hasn't been an overwhelming issue, however. Sometimes the platform updates which is necessary but can obviously be a bit confusing as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Vaadin: I think that this is a valuable tool for those looking to invest in a very effective app that streamlines the development process. I probably could not have developed the apps that I have without using this product. It is very user friendly and the support I have received from the customer service representatives is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Vaadin solving and how is that benefiting you? Having a starter kit to get my apps going and developed effectively and efficiently.
