Ruby on Rails has been growing in the last five years and it's a popular solution to build web applications. You can build agile solutions on the development. This feature makes Ruby on Rails a great tool for many companies around the world where the time it's equivalent to money.
Ruby on Rails it's an on-demand framework love it by experimented and non-experimented developers where we want to simplify common and repetitive tasks easily you can reuse existing components this feature lets you save much time.
Another feature that I love it's the way to implement gems easily you can build great solutions in a lower time.
You can create Unitary Tests using RSpec or web functionality with Capybara or Sellenium.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the things that I being facing this time using Ruby on Rails and I hate it; it's where you want to read or write the database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At my work daily got tickets from our customers requesting new features. Ruby on Rails provides me a fast way to provide work in a lower time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really recommend Ruby on Rails because it's a Test Driven Development framework where easily you could find bugs and let your clients a professional solution. Implement Ruby on Rails in your company in a short time you will see fast features and save a lot of money reinventing the wheel.

Excellent web development framework for your agile and fast projects

  • October 13, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about this web framework is how fast I can make a page or web application using ruby ​​programming language and simultaneously handle the frontend and backend as a single in the same environment; this makes it agile and magical.

Also, over the years, I have made this tool part of my day-to-day functions at work since I do not need more tools to interact with the database or the console of my project; if not, I can achieve this in the same environment.

It is a tool that integrates with any operating system but for me it is more comfortable to use it in Linux operating systems such as CentOS or Ubuntu, they are the two distributions that I use and at the moment it is easy to configure and to be able to prepare the environment which makes it even friendlier and the best option when selecting an IDE for projects in Ruby or Rails.
What do you dislike about the product?
what I don't like sometimes is the handling of javascript and some javascript gems that don't work well, but in new versions this has been improving.

Another issue is the cost, perhaps some developers cannot buy it at first, which makes it a tool for companies, there should be a version for independent developers with low resources or who are just starting out
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have made several applications in the company and this framework has helped us a lot to speed up these developments and at the same time to have a quality product and more now with the management of APIs

The best way to build your RESTful apps

  • September 28, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ruby on Rails is a great framework for building RESTful apps. It's extremely intuitive and easy to use and read. You can build powerful apps with just a few commands, and setting up a database for your API is extremely simple. Also the community is amazingly helpful, and given that Ruby is so popular nowadays most of the problems you'll come in contact with have an easy-to-follow solution online, just a couple of clicks away. There are also a lot of great talks on youtube by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) on Ruby, Rails and RESTful apps which are really easy to follow and cover everything on the subject.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there's much I dislike about Ruby on Rails. My only issue is downloading and setting everything up to use on my workstations, but once that's dealt with everything's smooth sailing from there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of my backend developing is done on Ruby on Rails, and I wouldn't change it for anything else. It has a Gem (a Ruby library) for anything you might need, and the framework as a whole is extremely well organized, allowing you to work using a lot of different practices, like TDD or Test Driven Development, really easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's always fun to learn new frameworks, so the least you can do is give it a try. I guarantee you won't regret it.

One of the great things about Ruby on rails is that it is so easy to read other peoples code.

I also love that there are so many great library is that you can plug-in to really enhance your code velocity.

Easy to host and build. Best webapp framework

  • November 21, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very Easy to learn. Even beginners can design well functional websites with-in a few days using Ruby on Rails. There are very good tutorials for your help.
Development is very fast compared to other frameworks.
Very supportive and active community.
Regular updates on Ruby on Rails
Free Third Party Packages (GEMS)
Building Minimum viable product is very time efficient.
Great testing support

Performance is not that good when the application grows and reaches scales of millions of users. If the app is big, it takes a lot of time doing simple stuff. So it's like a trade-off between performance and ease of use.

I used Ruby on Rails for a couple of projects. One of them was to design a portal for automatic synchronization of data center inventory. I spent less than one week to set up the whole system and able to design a working solution as most of the desired functionalities were available in terms of libraries. Feasibility testing was also very easy and development was very fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It very easy to learn and start with. So just dive in without second thoughts. Community support is great.

A quick way into web development

  • March 28, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Rails makes it simple for folks with little to no web application development experience to begin building robust websites.

A lot of the ease in the Rails framework is due to "magic" which makes some tasks confusing. I've found myself having to dive into the Rails framework source code on several occasions to understand what was going on under the hood.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Rails for building quick applications that serve internal business purposes.
