What do you like best about the product?

The documentation and support of the technical team at Superblocks means that the learning curve for this system is minimal. The product is constantly being updatedand the solution itself is easy to use and understand. Additionally, the level of customization is high without being too complex. I highly recommend using this tool.

What do you dislike about the product?

The free platform expires after about a month, but can be reinstated if requested.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Superblocks aided me in learning of low-code applications and utilization of data warehouses. I was able to easily build an application and monitor errors in that application with incredible ease.

What do you like best about the product?

As a Sales Engineer for a modern database, I struggle against the proliferation of older generation tools that evolved in the client-server era. They tend to want to pull a large amount of data into the client and then do data operations there. With many of my customers holding tens, if not hundreds of TB of data, this proposition is dead on arrival. We, as an industry, need to have more of the 'heavy lifting' done on the database side - its a simple matter of network bandwidth.

Superblocks is one of the few tools that has this paradigm right, in my opinion. It still provides a low/no code environment that analysts can use to produce dashboards and reports, but it expects the database to do what it does best and delegates that effort where appropriate.

Oh, and with Superblocks, that's just the start of it. With all of their additional capabilities around workflows and applications, it trivializes a lot of the work that is appropriate to do outside of the database. Trivializing this effort leads to faster and greater ROI and greater agility.

While some of the applications my customers need to build require bespoke applications, for those that don't, Superblocks is at the top of my list for recommendations.

What do you dislike about the product?

If I had my wish, the UI would allow windows to be undocked. I have lots of screens , not one big curved one :( ,and it is difficult to get the UI to work well on limited real estate.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Superblocks actually works with modern databases, and other sources of data where other options are very poor at integrating information from multiple sources. By using standard interfaces (like RESTful services) it can pull data from almost anywhere, without waiting for the visualization vendor to develop and support a custom interface. This means faster time to market.

What do you like best about the product?

Quick workflow setup and testing. The webhooks and integrations allow me to design my workflow with clear steps and logic. I love the convenient python and JavaScript code blocks.

What do you dislike about the product?

I have no real complaints about the product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Infrastructure uptime

What do you like best about the product?

The fantastic UI, speed of development and flexibility it offers are a game-changer. It allows my team to create internal tools that add value fast and solve issues that would otherwise take a lot more time to make.

What do you dislike about the product?

Google Sheets integration could be better, it's very limited and doesn't allow programatir selection of documents. Permissions need to be more granular. There should also be a way to dinamically set integration parameters.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quickly creating data integrations. Bridging together APIs that have no UI. Creating dashboards that let me control things like permissiones.

What do you like best about the product?

- Library of integrations makes it simple to "plug and play" with many APIs and easy to migrate server endpoints
- Draggable components in applications make building web apps quick and easy for non-FE developers
- The scheduled jobs feature provides a nice interface for non-technical people to build cron jobs
- The ability to string together SQL queries, python scripts, and REST requests into a linear series of steps where you can pass data around makes building dashboards and workflows feel very intuitive
- The engineering support team is responsive, helpful, and cares: at one point in our onboarding process, we hit a roadblock and several people on their engineering team hopped on a video call with me to provide assistance. Much appreciated!

What do you dislike about the product?

The only thing that I disliked was that the on-prem deployment process took a while, which was the result of having a tech stack not entirely in AWS. I think that having more out-of-the-box guides for different tech stacks would be very helpful. That said, the Superblocks team was supportive throughout the process.

Some things that I don't dislike but could be improved:
- I've found myself writing many scheduled jobs with bounds checking for time (e.g. don't run a job before 9AM or after 5PM) in python, which I think would be more nicely placed in the scheduling interface than the code implementation
- More out-of-the-box graph support: I imagine that data visualization is not the end-goal, but more native graph support would be fantastic
- Would be great to have the FE hosted on customer-provided domains

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Superblocks solves the problem of setting up quick dashboards and regularly-occurring jobs. It reduces the need to deploy full web-apps, provide API support, etc.
