Easy to get started and excellent support, a rare find!
What do you like best about the product?
I am a novice backend developer who needs to quickly prototype AI applications for internal use without having to create an entire front-end from scratch. I tried a few different low-code platforms and Superblocks is my clear favorite because the UX on their platform just makes sense to my brain, so I've been able to jump in. I've only been using it a week or two, but already it has been very easy for me to add different APIs and databases to my project and then connect them to pre-designed UI components, with just snippets of JS to glue them all together. I just finished my first demo app that uses the OpenAI API and I am excited about what I can build next. But for me, the very best thing about Superblocks has been the support -- very quick , friendly, knowledgable, and helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the documentation and walkthroughs could be improved, at least for newer devs like me. A few times I have had ask the help desk a question that I feel could have been covered in the docs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm creating internal tools that pull in data from APIs and databases and then allow my users to "chat" with their data using ChatGPT. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the front right now, I just need it to work, and Superblocks is ideas for that. They have an OpenAI connector and a chat window component that make it relatively easy to snap things together with a bit of JS glue.
Easy to use platform with great customer support
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very easy to use. Getting simple applications up and running is a very quick process that even someone with relatively low technical knowledge of web developement can handle. The customer support team is also very helpful and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The on-prem hosting option is not really a fully on-prem setup. Instead the front-end and authentication is served through SB cloud, while the underlying data and api calls are served through the on-prem agent. I can see some advantages to a hybrid structure like this, but it may also not be ideal for all use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team needed a way to build simple inernal tooling applications that enabled various teams throughout the company to interact with our rest api product. We didn't want to consume engineering resources to build our own custom web apps to do this enablement, so we use superblocks so that a few people with technical backgrounds outside of the engineering team can build out what their teams need without bogging down the engineers.
Very expedient customer service, easy tool to use
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks is a very clear and straightforward tool to use in building integrations and apps quickly. Their team was able to help un-block us in a variety of complex scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation could be a bit better, and I would love to have more options available in various integrations and features (more python libraries, more ways to hook up control blocks and frontend features, etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly prototyping high impact and high urgency features.
Great Low Code Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks makes it super easy to build and deploy applications and workflows using little to no code. Superblocks also allows you to fully customize your on-prem experience so you can deploy using amazon CDK.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are currently limited to using a set amount of node modules in their javascript coding blocks and some of them are slightly outdated (AWS SDK v2 instead of v3)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing teammates with little to no coding experience build usable tools that would normally take 3x as long to create
Drastic Increase in Internal App Development
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily connect with multiple different datasources of different types to build out highly customizable internal websites. Previously we were maintaing a slew of different internal apps and it was becoming quite unmaintainable, and context switching between each was a headache.
Drag and drop of components onto the page vs. hours of formatting and placing my component in ReactJS

What do you dislike about the product?
I know it's coming soon, but Multi-Page Applications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Management of multiple internal frameworks -> Single Application
Great for quick internal dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks made it easy to create an internal dashboard that pulled data from several internal systems. Whenever I had a question, their support team was both quick to respond and gave very detailed answers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There weren't really any downsides. It took a little bit of time to figure out how the blocks fit together to gather the data I needed, but it wasn't too difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting on business metrics
Perfect tool for building internal admin apps.
What do you like best about the product?
For me, as a backend/API developer with minimal UI development experience, it was surprisingly easy to start using Superblocks and build my first application. The platform itself doesn't require any specific knowledge to get started. The variety of standard "Integrations" covers almost all possible types of data sources, so in most cases, you don't need to adjust your backend API to use it in Superblocks. For more advanced scenarios, such as asynchronous long-running queries, there is a "Workflows" feature that provides you with more flexible control over how you retrieve or process data.
What truly sets Superblocks apart is the exceptional customer support I have received. The team's dedication, responsiveness, and expertise have exceeded my expectations. Whenever I encountered challenges or had questions, the support team was quick to provide clear and helpful solutions.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some minor things that need to be improved or fixed. Additionally, it would be nice to have greater flexibility in the customization of standard components.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's much simpler and more time-effective to build internal tools using Superblocks than developing them from scratch.
A fast and easy way of building UIs
What do you like best about the product?
I've always been of the opinion that building simple backend CRUD UIs is a waste of developers time, time they could be spending in building something that delivers more value.
Superblocks addresses this problem: it's very fast, easy and intuitive to build dashboards and admin UIs.
We all know how frontend ecosystem is, how fast it changes and how quickly things get outdated, with Superblocks all these problems go away and you just need to focus in the 'what' not the 'how', saving precious developer time.
Customer support is ace, they are very responsive and fast to reply to tickets.

What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately there is no way of building automated tests, this for me is a deal breaker in order to build backends in Superblocks.
I think it's great for building UIs, but when trying to build a full complex application using workflows, that's when it gets tricky. You have all the pieces of the puzzle but there isn't a way of knowing how they interact together, what workflow is calling a specific worflow for example. It would be great to have a tool to visualize these dependencies, for example if you update the parameters of a workflow, you can't easily find where it's being called from in order to ammend the caller.
Also there isn't a restriction on what workflows can call a workflow, so when dealing with 100s of workflows this can get really messy. It would be good to have maybe `public` and `private` workflows for each app.

Rapid UI development and deployment.
Fast way to make convenient UI
What do you like best about the product?
We use Superblocks as the frontend of our internal "backoffice" administrative tool and it's a near-perfect fit. It gives us the ability to quicky expose new functionalities to our Support and Complience teams in a pretty and convinient way for them.
Especially easy and usefull is displaying data in tables, where Superblocks assumes the columns from the data itself + the build in ability to download the data as a CSV from any table.

What do you dislike about the product?
Although it is a low-code solution, you still need people to have a significant amount of coding experience to be able to set up things properly and to not make a mess of things.
Another way it's lacking a bit behind in what our organization is used to is environment selection (when using staging vs production) and deployments of new features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks gives us the ability to have a UI without most of the pains of actually supporting that UI
