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.
