Takes time to learn, but great functionality
What do you like best about the product?
I like the range of functions available in the builder. It seems that Backendless can build just about any type of application.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that the design features in the builder can be significantly improved and the documentation isn't great, learning the codeless is still basically coding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backendless has helped build a complete web application compared to other builders do not have near the functionality and make it difficult to incorporate your data sets

I found what I was looking for and I have the impression there is much more to discover as well
What do you like best about the product?
The best is that you have to worry only about programming and potentialy you can be live after 5 minutes you have done the registration of the backendless account
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version can be more easy to get after 30 days of trial.
27.08.2022: for my mvp there is much more than i need. I'm very happy.
There is a thing that could be better. I would like to have a more mature function to syncrhonize (merge) different app, I would like to see the detailsof the difference like git or subversion.

Backendless added an enormous additional potential to my Front end no code project made with thunkable.
I'm more productive and backendless give me the opportunity to limit the fragmentation of my app and save money. For example I m using one signal for push notification but I can use yours.

Ggh
No more boundaries for platforms development
What do you like best about the product?
You can integrate WEB and Mobile in a very simple way all the tools are there. The codeless option to program it's great if you know to code or not it's the same and that's very helpful. Mark Piller the CEO of the company it's on call 24/7 he helps me with questions during the weekend!
What do you dislike about the product?
There was a malfunction during the coding process and a loss of a day because the automatic save or the backup was not working properly the support team help me with the problem and everything was back to normal. For 2 years just this only problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm in the Access COntrol business and the web and mobile platform it's a must because you have a mobile visitor and some cases web or also mobile concierge with Backendless no problem at all.
A brief review of BackEndless
What do you like best about the product?
BackEndless abstracts away all the boilerplate code that is required to get up and running with a back end for a mobile app, and lets you focus on the business logic for the app. Back end relational data, onboarding and authentication/authorization, file storage, etc. have all been taken care of. In addition to the great functionality, the backendless platform has some great bite sized training videos in the form of "missions" that guide you through implementing various bits of functionality and getting up to speed with the platform. There is an active forum, where you can ask questions when you get stuck, and APIs for popular mobile platforms. If you're looking for an alternative to FireBase, this would be a good option to take a look at.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem that I ran into with BackEndless was the lack of support for an IP range for the back end. I ran into a case where I needed to call into another API to enable some key functionality, but the API required a whitelist of IP's that it would allow connections from. 95% of the time I don't think this would have been an issue, and was a peculiarity of my particular app, but I thought it bears mentioning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using BackEndless to create a back end for a Xamarin Forms mobile application. It has saved me tons of time getting something up and running. Compared to Azure Web Apps, there is a ton less work required to get something up and going. Compared to FireBase, I prefer the BackEndless relational database support. Administration of permissions and data is also easier with this option in my experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Determine the level of control you need for your backend, and the amount of effort you would be able to put in to get a back end up and running. If you need the finer grained control for a mobile back end you may be more interested in Azure/AWS, but if you prefer getting something up and running quickly, consider BackEndless. BackEndless is well suited for small development teams.
Great from protoyping to production
What do you like best about the product?
Backendless is a robust system that makes working with mobile applications a great experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to mind. A very pleasant product to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I write mobile applications that require an API / remote Data store. For the application work I do, I would normally need a backend dev to assist, but Backendless is intuitive enough that I was able to create teh schema and interactions I needed
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make use of the Slack channel - great, helpful resources are there.
Quite disappointed in the performance and backend functionality
What do you like best about the product?
Really active customer support. Friendly and supportive community. Good idea about making the backend automated and easier to set up. Mostly using business logic, login functionality, and the database for the users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, to be honest, we were not too thrilled about the performance of Backendless. The reliability of the service really caused us some problems along the way, when it simply did not work for some periods of time during our presentations, but then it would get back to work after a few hours. Now it seems to be maybe more stable, but I don't really have a lot of confidence due to past issues. Also, a lot of functionality I expected to be built-in, like, the ability to resend email confirmations for new users, etc. But I was constantly directed by customer support to implement my own business logic functions to achieve the desired result. So overall, somehow disappointed I would say :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started using it in order to quicken the process of starting our own website with the login system and custom user information
Fast deployment and scalable solutions for the backend
What do you like best about the product?
The low setup time. Libraries are available for major platforms and we could get our app up and running in almost no time. The backend UI is easy to use and data modification is simple even in the UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we feel limited in the possibility to optimize queries and so on. The predefined libraries make it not always possible to select between solutions. Since it acts as an abstraction on a DB engine not all features is accessible to the developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A database backend for iOS and Android apps. Primarily for storage from an external source (API) and then making this data available in our apps. Our goal for the current version of the app was a backend for which we did not have to manually create an OAuth API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the documentation, and check available libraries. If you do not see limitations go for it!
Backendless offers an all in one solution
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly like the codeless part, where you can build your backend just like playing a puzzle game. :)
What do you dislike about the product?
I would not say dislike, but rather a suggestion. The overall documentation can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an Android Developer, it's good to know that you don't need to have an experience as a front-end developer, to be able to create a website with backendless.
Amazing development platform with great service
What do you like best about the product?
As a non-programmer, I am amazed about what was possible to achieve without coding. We successfully build a registration system for several welfare organizations in the form of a web app. The learning curve was steep but once you go through the informational videos and with help of the support of the amazing Backendless team we were able to get it all to work. We always received quick responses and solutions for the issues we experienced. I think we are just at the beginning of the journey with Backendless because we are only just using a small part of all the possibilities there are with this platform. The fact that we can use a European server was a major plus for our business because of the privacy laws in our country.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, we are very happy with the platform and the excellent support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since 2019 we are managing registration systems but with primitive forms-based systems, Backendless has given us the platform to expand users with a professional qualitative registration system with extensive options. We are receiving many positive feedbacks on our web app from our users.

A great prototyping tool. Can also be used in production. Be careful about doing very very complex stuff; you may hit awkward limitations.
