This platform is most hidden from anywhere in Google search. When you're looking for website, or software development, you come across a patchwork of tools which are haphazardly used to create a workflow. Anything from database schema tools, front end, back end, security all require a tremendous amount of time and effort. Our case use was creating a video sharing service. We analyuzed WordPress,...
Ease of use. Every tool imaginable on other open source solutions requiring a plugin or module are already available. The database schema tool is far beyond other third party tools. The GUI form building, data linking, and aesthetic control are that of a desktop app. The level of sophistication is above just rapidly developing and app. Wavemaker is also a very sophisticated IDE for Java. The list of Wavemaker features and uses is beyond the scope of this Capterra entry. Coming from the world of WordPress and Drupal, I have ditched them both in favor of Java and Wavemaker.
In the beginning the price and available features were odd. For nearly $10,000 per year you could acquire a Wavemaker license for ONE app. After some time, Wavemaker now offer unlimited app development for $99 per month. So there are no CONS at this point in my experience with Wavemaker. Customer service is awesome.

It is fast compared to other players in aPaaS space, feature rich and efficient. Its took only weeks to create a Leave management software.
Wave maker can get really expensive, particularly for a start up business like ours. Hope they come up with a better pricing model
Thanks for the review, Ayesha. Enjoy & keep trying WaveMaker. And do let us know any concerns: info@wavemaker.com. Regards, Team #WaveMaker

We were tasked with creating some internal applications for our firm, we have tried out many platforms like OutSystems and Mendix which proved to too costly and some tools like KissFlow and Zoho Creator which are no where near the capabilities offered by WaveMaker. There are a lot of other tools which claim that they are alternatives to WaveMaker but that is far from truth. WaveMaker offers a variety...
There is very little you can think of when you are paying a very small amount. WaveMaker is easily the most affordable platform which has so many capabilities. I do not understand why the claimed market leaders OutSystems and Mendix charge so much where as WaveMaker charges only 10% of OutSystems and Mendix. WaveMaker offers great freedom to move your applications out of their platform but OutSystems and Mendix do not allow users to move application away from their platform. WaveMaker is a great tool but I fail to understand why this is not so popular.

I had been looking for many years for a platform/framework that would satisfy my need for developing web based and mobile applications. I tried the usual Deamweaver, Embarcedero, Telerik platfoms and none of them lived up to the hype of RAD. I had used Wavemaker (5, 6) many years ago when it was open source and was surprised when they changed to a subscription based pricing model last year. I decided...
The platform is hosted and updated regularly. The features are complete from DB design, import schemas, query, procedures, web services, UI widgets and plain old javascript provide all the tools in a central development environment.
There is always the learning curve to deal with but this is normal for any platform. I have yet to find something that is a problem. A few browser artifacts while scrolling and switching between design and runtime mode are minor inconveniences.

We undertook a trial of the product based on online reviews and articles. From a UX point of view and meeting the need for 98% codeless programming Wavemaker is extremely well designed and implemented. The learning curve is not too steep, although online materials arent as user friendly as the product interface, and within a month we had built our first fully functioning app (reasonably complex)...
UX, ease of development and deployment, support team excellent
cost model is for large enterprises only, and only for applications that will have a very clear ROI. $99 developer licence no longer available, $24k per year per application. Prior reviewers mentioned at $99 not even a decision to be made, and i would agree but at this price point also no decision to be made but in the opposite direction.

Is good, but for me the cost is very expensive, once my team is very small. And... the control of database should be more easy than it is nowadays, for example import and export data could be easier than now... Allowing the developer to create link with their servers, ,strucuture instead of to be hold only inside the database on cloud; The Help Manuals and tutorial should be update often; The others function ready to use can be included: -PayPal (or other); -Integration with Instagram, Twitter, etc... -Report tools (for printers); -IA; -AR/VR; -Thinking as community once a developers can help one each other in many projects inside the WaveMaker, onde the project can be considered shared or not.
PROS: easy to hadle it; many functions ready to use; Totally SaaS; VCS included and 100% functional; Quickly to test even in many devices;
Cons: The documentation need to updated quicky,. There are many features out of date or does not working as expected. For instance: user control and security; export data (dump); camera;
Thanks a lot Carlos for the detailed review! We will evaluate and try to accommodate your suggestions in our next product releases. Keep trying WaveMaker!

Wavemaker has great customer support (fast response and step by step guidance) which is the major reason I decided to subscribe a plan. A true RAD platform, yet it provides flexibility for complex coding. A cloud platform allow me code anywhere at anytime.
Hope there is a special pricing which is more friendly to small startup like mine :) and introduce more prefabs especially in area of payment gateway.

Development speed and less bugs on final developed application.
The speed we have from concept to product is paralleled only by much more expensive tools like IBM VisuaAge, currently available only to high end risc workstations. The support is by large the best part in WM. The support team is always solicit and ready to pursue and provide any need for either support or information on how to do things with the tool.
WM would benefit greatly if had a planned roadmap ahead in time. Sometimes corrections and new features are expected and hence we face difficulties planning ahead in time without such information from WM product management. We have the release notes, of course, but only a few days before a release is actually made available.
Thanks for the review, Rodrigo. Enjoy & keep trying WaveMaker. And do let us know any concerns: info@wavemaker.com. Regards, Team #WaveMaker

My Experience with this product is that it is outstanding. If its all about speed and accuracy then I give Wavemaker 10/10. The Wavemaker Studio product is very professional and well worth the cost of a paid subscription. Support is always prompt and the engineering support team get my issues resolved quickly. Overall I would not bother looking anywhere else for a product that does what Wavemaker does. All their claims on their website are accurate!.
Fast, lightweight and flexible. Easy to adapt to any hosting situation or app store.
It is a cloud studio so I have concerns about untrusted environments. Also there were concerns about the default setting for C3PO Database connector.

Hi everybody, We would like to give our personal review about WM platform. Months ago we were struggling with the choice of a RAD platform to choose in order to speed up our developing process. We tried many of them with similar architecture, but since we had experiences in the past with the community edition, after a long talk with sales' manager, we ended up buying a licence with WM. From...

With WM, you can develop a entire web application in days, with all the robustness and Security of Java and with the ease of Drag & Drop.
We like: The Platform which WM is based (Development with Java for Web) and its User Interface (Drag & Drop). Today, the web development on Java is complex, with multiple frameworks, patterns, annotations, configurations, XMLs and so on. With WM, all of this is abstracted from you, allowing you to put focus on the development of the business needs, reducing dramatically the development time.
The lack of other models of licensing, example: license only for web development - with a lower price ;)

Wavemaker is a boon for startups like us as it helped us build prototypes quickly and effectively. It enabled us to test some of the most difficult potential parts of the system early on in the life-cycle. Finding problems earlier in the life-cycle rather than later was a key benefit. The earlier a problem can be found the cheaper it is to address. It uses wysiwyg visual builder that allows quick...

I like the low code development capability.
I would like a way to access the tool on a sporadic/pay-as-you-need basis. I've developed an application using the tool and I need to make changes every couple of months, but it doesn't justify paying the monthly fee for the months that I don't need the tool.
Thanks for the review, Ken. We will try to accommodate your concerns into our plans very soon. Keep using WaveMaker!

I'm using WaveMaker for almost an year, and despite the incredible easy to use RAD for Web and Mobile application, seems some lack of support, sometimes we need to send more then onde email to receive feedback. For other hands the product is very easy to use and also simple to release, despite that uses Java as background technology, I assume someday will be able to release also in NodeJS or other server platform.
Easy to use;Easy to Deploy; Widgets
High Cost;Need Java Server

WaveMaker lets us build prototypes quickly and allows us to utilise existing client data easily. This allows us to focus the client's attention on the prototype without distraction. Applications can be developed and deployed fast, taking the grind out of the repetitive tasks allowing us to get on with the value adding aspects of the application development process. Fast, powerful and straightforward.
