Helpful platform for creating internal tools quickly
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks is great because it lets us construct frontend applications without needing to code, but also allows for using code where necessary. It's a sweet spot between no-code and full internal tooling. Support has also been very quick and responsive whenever I've engaged with them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing blocks across different applications is suboptimal, and the libraries available in the Javascript environment are pretty minimal. More flexible environment creation would definitely help us with some of our apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks helps us build robust internal tooling without needing to hire additional frontend engineers or UI engineers. We've been able to build a wide range of tools using just the low-code builder that Superblocks offers.

Superblocks by design addresses the practical challenges of our enterprise where others have failed
What do you like best about the product?
It's not until you truly attempt a wide roll-out of an internal tooling platform that you understand the difference between an impressive demo and the reality of trying to integrate dozens of systems. Superblocks is engineered for an impressive balance of flexibility and ease of use which has supported our 3 person team in maintaining momentum of onboarding dozens of organizations with hundreds of users. This simply wouldn't be possible without Superblocks (believe me, we have tried!).
The design philosophy of Superblocks is fundamentally different to any other solution we have evaluated, owing to a deep understanding baked into the product of the practical challenges faced by medium-large organizations. Superblocks provides intergration points to solve for integration challenges at every level, setting it apart from competitors in the way that Auth0 did for AuthN/AuthZ. Other options we explored made too many assumptions about our business & tech, so be sure to bring your most frustrating use cases to your evaluations and you'll start to understand how Superblocks differentiates.
The barrier to building internal tools for our organization was our heterogeneous enterprise network architecture consisting of multi-cloud and on-premise networks relying on multiple VPNs to access our services. Superblocks has an on-premise agent which flexible deployment enabling us to onboard dozens of teams to develop internal tools without requiring traffic to traverse the internet. This is simply the current reality for many hyper-grown companies, so we love to find vendors who meet us where we're at without criticizing the maturity of our architecture.
Being able to inject code to almost any component of the tool provides an escape hatch for our users to bind to legacy or esoteric systems, often being able to port existing bindings across and without relying on Superblocks to prioritize and build custom product features for us. Support for workflows also means we're able to move asynchronous tasks and ETLs previously driven by opaque CI tools, providing the observability and reliability we need for our processes.
All of this is complemented by the Superblocks support team acting as an extension of our organization. The result is our teams being empowered to solve their own tooling gaps without having to undergo a vast multi-year modernization effort or sacrificing control and compliance. We have experienced even non-technical users being able to ramp up and author their own custom integrations using generative AI features, which is something which would be unimaginable before.
Superblocks is here as a partner for the long-haul of modernizing our business. The ROI was proven in weeks, not months, and this compounds as more users become familiar with using the tools and our users continue to organically drive down COGS in innovative ways we hadn't even considered before.

What do you dislike about the product?
Superblocks has focused on investment in flexibility of the tool authoring experience, which is the right prioritization call. Where it is lacking is support for enterprise features in their management console, such as support for custom domains, ability to create and manage multiple tenants mapped to organizational units, centralized policies to act as guardrails (in the way that AWS SCP works), and visibility into usage & billing. We've been able to build our own solutions for some of these (in Superblocks!) and custom domain support is somewhat mitigated by the new embedding feature. For the remaining gaps we've found the product team to be receptive to our feedback and are looking forward to seeing future iterations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tooling for live broadcast and IT operations, single pane of glass for project management and executive reporting, and administration consoles for software developers.
Accessible for all types of team members
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Superblocks is its intuitive design, making it easy for both developers and non-technical team members to collaborate effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback is the limited customization options for advanced users who may require more intricate configurations. When an admin left, we had to reach out to support, even though they were very helpful and fast to reply.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use superblocks to align customer accounts access to SFDC data.
Intuitive pro-code tool that aids rapid ui & workflow development backed by 5* customer support
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks is a really intuitive pro-code tool that allows for rapid prototype development of UI's and workflows. Access to backend resources is facilitated via the use of integrations that enable different resources to be seamlessly connected during the development and deployment process. There are lot of features available out of the box which provide most of the functionalilty required; however, being a pro-code tool, it is easy to integrate scripts to carry out more specialised functionality.
In addition to having one of the best documentation sets I've seen for software, the customer support from Superblocks is first rate if any questions arise.

What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to reuse api blocks across different ui's isn't available currently, nor is the visibility relating to which integration is used by which UI or workflow. That said, Superblocks are making great progress in providing the tools that would be expected as part of any development workflow so I've no doubt these improvements will be coming in the near future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks is helping us as a team to rapidly build and deploy responsive applications into a production environment, connecting via rest api's to the underlying data sources and existing api's, without having to rely on access to engineering resources within the company.
Easiest Place to Build Apps Quickly
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks provides probably the most comprehensive set of automation tools that a developer needs to quickly build apps. I love being able to use Scheduled Jobs for recurring taks (to automate personal tasks), Workflows for REST APIs (which I can hook up to chatbots), and Applications (to drive self-service through dedicated product surfaces)
They've made it really easy to stitch together components and it's EXTREMELY extensible to add support for any React component we might need.
The customer support experience has been a rock solid experience. Lightning fast to respond & very adaptive to our organization's needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
An area of growth for Superblocks would likely be on the API management and logging. I dislike having to manage error states & present error messages to users. It would be beneficial for Superblocks to provide better production logging so things can be debugged when your users use the apps.
One other thing, and maybe this isn't the role for Superblocks to play, but I find myself needing to combine their apps with like one-off Firestore databases, or do insane things to manage state inside their python functions.
Workato does this with their Lookup Tables for example. Some sort of lightweight NoSQL database just for JSON blob storage and retrieval would be beneficial.

Using Superblocks to Build Product Prototypes
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks has a number of great features. A few that I often use:
- The ability to add any react component to the UI with a few lines of code is invaluable. Not only does superblocks have great documentation and a tutorial on how to add custom UI components, but once you deploy a custom component it can be used by the rest of the team. This has allowed us to build great prototyping products without being blocked on UI.
- Superblocks has an AI tool that can generate javascript and python code simply by me typing what code I need to generate. I have found this feature to be a huge productivity multiplier and the code generation is quite good.
- Workflows are immensly valuable and have allowed our team to build custom API endpoints that can be easily called by our application, TWILIO webhooks, etc.
- Overall, superblocks has given us a tool that allows us to rapidly develop prototypes, pushing our product and product discovery processing forward.

What do you dislike about the product?
Superblocks is definitely adding to its feature set, but it does currently have some limitations and we have also had some minor bugs. The team is very quick to fix the bugs, which is a positive, and I'm sure this will continue to get better over time. Having more "out of the box" UI components, as well as some additional features like dedicated databases would be nice to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks is allowing us to quickly build product prototypes that we can deploy in the field, allowing us to get initial product ideas in front of our end users. We can spin up UIs at an extremely quick pace, which has helped us push our product forward.
