"Easy to use and free to expand"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

It's based on opensource platform (Angular) which means I'm not locked in to their service and I'm free to host my code on my own server.

A well built platform for both beginner and advanced user.

Most of their functionalities and features are well documented.

They do consider your suggestion seriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

Interface can be improved (Drag & drop of components)

Price is very high. I do hope that they have cheaper options for individual developer (E.g. small business owner) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing product, a real shame about the huge price rise"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

The possibility that other business users not just developers can contribute to the development of our applications.

For example our graphics person can help with design, allowing our developers to focus on their work and speed up the development phase and get to market faster.

The ease of use for less experienced employees to learn and be involved in new product development is a huge benefit to the company, as getting input from other staff members makes for a better product.

My developers really love the ease of migration from our legacy systems using Wavemaker, and I would use it for my new company if the pricing structure had not changed.

WAVElens is a huge bonus and time saver, to be able to preview apps without all the fuss it a massive benefit.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

The PRICE !!!,, Wow $60,000 USD per year minimum, this is a MASSIVE jump in price and pretty much eliminates startups from utilizing the software.

New business / tech start ups, could not afford this as part of their initial budget on top all other other tech requirements needed to deploy their applications.

Support is OK, but due to not being in their time zone I have to wait almost 8 hours for a response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wavemaker is an awesome product !!!!!!"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

Wavemaker has evolved since its birth to become a solid platform for development. Its flexibility is outstanding but what makes it really awesome is how it speeds up the development lifecycle. There is a learning curve to get started. But if you already know how to code in Java and Javascript then you only need to learn how Wavemaker binds things together. I recently started using WAVELens and was absolutely blown away .......it is just incredible. I can now make changes to my Hybrid mobile application and immediately test them on my device. No need to compile an apk file which I then have to download and then upload to the device AND then upload the test website. The changes are instant!!!!!

I only have to refresh the WAVELens app on my device and boom............its there ready for testing with all the usual console output. Its simply incredible. Oh and did I mention the support >?? It is well above the bar. They really treat you and your application with very careful attention. They are an incredible team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

The only thing I really disliked has been fixed by WAVELens......what else can I say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best RAD environment ever worked!"

WaveMaker is a very easy to use RAD environment, with a lot of handful and professional features.

The best thing, it does offer a very clean interface, and deployed apps just work perfectly!

We can develop applications very fast and make it available to our users on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

None at all. We are very satisfied with the features WaveMaker offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wavemaker rocks!"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

Wavemaker enables us to do much more with fewer headcount and generates pristine code and interface with drag and drop;

We are in an age where we are not isolated programmers anymore, we work in communities and groups that transcend organizational borders; Wavemaker proves it true when renders us a fantastic customer care support that helps us to harvest the most from the tool in a very reduced time span.

At the end, Wavemaker delivers what it claims: the generated code does follow best practices and ultimately enforces ourselves to follow these practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

Debugging documentation needs improvement so we could rely less on customer support, but I'm sure this is something Wavemaker will fulfill soon and gracefully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wavemake is by far the best development platform no matter how it is compared. "
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

Ease of use. Reduction of many third party and add-on software such as DB schema and management tools, security, roles, permissions, aesthetics and theme, API connectors, and so much more. The most important area is the use Java without having to get stuck with boilerplate, and verbose code. Wavemaker reduces code writing by more than 80%.

Deployment is across the board to web, and mobile (iOS, Android). No other platform gives this much. The role of Java is very important as it has widely available libraries, and has matured to become very stable. Other languages have not matured or adopted to the level of Java.

For us, the decision was to move away from module and depencies often associated with WordPress, Drupal and other popular platforms. In addition, .NET and ,many others do not have an IDE that reduces code writing. In order to save time and work within budget we needed a RAD tool to make the deadline. This was only possible with Wavemaker.

The vast number of Java libraries made it seamless to integrate Wavemaker to AWS, CloudFront for our video sharing project. Wavemaker is a vast tool beyond the scope of this review. Try it yourself and see how much time can be saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

There is not much to dislike about Wavemaker. Initially the price was a hurdle, but since then Wavemaker has made is affordable for such a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Faster development using WaveMaker"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

I like the ease of integration of cloud & deployment of application. The response time of customer service and flexibility of the tools. they are simple and solve common day to day application development requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

Need additional templates and sample applications. this makes it easy and quick to get started with components with no need to read documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
