Tech Exec & Mentor/Volunteer
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Superblocks in conjunction with Supabase for a project for a non-profit association for membership data management. I've used several other no/low-code platforms before and Superblocks arguably brings together the best combination of functionality, granular control when needed and documentation. The development and deployment control are generally well thought through and integration with source control. The Workflow functionality is powerful; in our case, it's being used to transpose old SOAP/XML API of a legacy membership service into more flexible REST ones. Support for Python alongside JS is also a differentiator.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few IDE quirks, though manageable, when trying to expand windows or identifying which API is currently being edited (not enough characters to see full name at times in fields/menu). The built AI agent in the IDE can at times be a bit too intrusive and an accidental keystroke to accept suggestions can lead to some unwanted code... That's more of a getting used to thing though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing volunteers of a non-profit organization a visual, online tool to manage membership data and annual directory preparation. Prior method involved multiple manual steps: exporting raw data from legacy system, staging MYSQL platform, running through complex SQL scripts for data transformation, exporting to several Excel sheets, then manually sifting through to correct address formats and other field data. And all these manual corrections would not flow back into the legacy platform by virtue of its old, legacy SOAP/XML based API. With Superblock and Supabase as a DB platform, volunteers can now work in an integrated UI platform, pull legacy data, see all the needed corrections following an automated data compliance review, and directly export the resulting dataset in Google Sheets, ready for insertion in the final annual membership directory preparation. This should provide a significant timesaver on these yearly cycles.
Powerful Platform to build our internal web applications
What do you like best about the product?
The low code feature speeds up my development process. Allows us to develop and use private data in an internal secure network environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hope to have more and richer components, improve the customization of components, and support more integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure internal environment, very timely and helpful technical support, rich components
Ease of use -
What do you like best about the product?
Very small learning curve in comparison to other tools like Retool, takes very short time to setup and connect to the database with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's buggy and slow, the experience at times can be worse than with Retool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of in-house engineers to develop custom admin panel
Intuitive and fast
What do you like best about the product?
The overall interface is simple and intuitive, and being able to work with both Javascript and Python and also integrate React components is a major plus. Besides this there are a multitude of different available integrations, from different database engines to AI service providers that might be critical for your business. The customer support was also very fast and pleasing from our experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of a built-in database solution might be a problem for some use cases, and the fact that it is meant to only work as an "internal application" development platform could be limiting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building fast internal applications with helpful built-in integrations for many different use cases.
Superblocks is awesome, jump in!
What do you like best about the product?
Very easily integrate front-end UX & back-end automation with existing data sources
What do you dislike about the product?
Somewhat of a learning curve to get started. You need to understand some basics of software engineering to take full advantage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allow us to rapidly build and iterate internal apps that integrate well with our other low-code/no-code tool stack.
Easy to use and integrate plus good looking designs
What do you like best about the product?
Front end components are feature rich and are easily customisable, significantly reduces dev time for simple applications. Great customer support. Very easy for a beginner to get started
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some backend limitations and components lack reusability across applications, also its still lacking diversity in its components offering. Would be great to be able to import from other component libraries such as mui. Although integrations are quite useful, more complex cases will have you using js or python to access some services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks solves the need to write frontend components for small applications, saving a lot of dev time. Its also quite useful to integrate components into already built applications. Removes the need to write heavy backend code to connect certain services.
With Superblocks we go faster
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to develop internal tooling. It offers a lot of functionality out-of-the-box. A lot of integrations as well, like APIs, databases, etc. We use it internally every day.
What do you dislike about the product?
You're tying yourself to a platform, but then again you're doing that with any platform these days so it's not really a major downside, you just have to make the correct business decisions about who you tie yourself to. We've taken measures to keep as much of our logic in the backend as possible, only putting some very trivial front end logic into Superblocks, so we're making maximum benefit out of it as Superblocks really supercharges our team when it comes to the front end side of things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rapid development of internal tooling
A versatile platform for data analysis and visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks offers a very intuitive interface that allows great flexibility in creating dynamic charts and data visualizations. Implementing various APIs with different functionalities is seamless, and the platform makes it easy to create and manage multiple dashboards. This ease of use enhances productivity and simplifies complex data workflows.
It's really easy to implement new dashboards and integrate them all together.
It's really easy to implement new dashboards and integrate them all together.
What do you dislike about the product?
When working with a huge amount of data, the platform can take a while to load, which may slow down analysis for larger datasets. Some performance optimization in this area would make the experience even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It streamlines the process of integrating APIs and pulling data from multiple sources, saving significant time and effort in building cohesive visualizations. The platform’s ability to handle diverse datasets and present them in an easily understandable format makes data analysis more efficient and actionable.
Easy to deploy, easy to connect, easy to build
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks BYOC deployment model is a dream compared to more tradionnal ones. It's much easier to deploy and maintain than an self hosted deployment (you only deploy a single stateless component in your cloud) but also meet many security and compliance concern you might have with a classic SaaS. In less than a day we managed to bootstrap a useful internal app that was connected to many of our internal systems, api and databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
We benchmarked superblocks against several competitors and didn't found any downside for us with this solution. There can always be more out of the box integrations and building blocks but it's also quite stratightforward to create your own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to quickly build new apps for our internal teams that would be connected to systems that are only available within our network.
We also had the constraint of having a small operation team so we were looking for a solution easy to manage.
The superblocks agent was super easy to deploy in our cloud environment (aws + ecs fargate) with the provided terraform module.
Configuring integration with internal REST apis and databases was also made super easy.
In a few hours we were able to hand over the keys to our development team so they can start building.
With a more traditionnal approach it would have taken us at least a week to get there.
