Very expedient customer service, easy tool to use
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks is a very clear and straightforward tool to use in building integrations and apps quickly. Their team was able to help un-block us in a variety of complex scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation could be a bit better, and I would love to have more options available in various integrations and features (more python libraries, more ways to hook up control blocks and frontend features, etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly prototyping high impact and high urgency features.

Great Low Code Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks makes it super easy to build and deploy applications and workflows using little to no code. Superblocks also allows you to fully customize your on-prem experience so you can deploy using amazon CDK.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are currently limited to using a set amount of node modules in their javascript coding blocks and some of them are slightly outdated (AWS SDK v2 instead of v3)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing teammates with little to no coding experience build usable tools that would normally take 3x as long to create
Drastic Increase in Internal App Development
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily connect with multiple different datasources of different types to build out highly customizable internal websites. Previously we were maintaing a slew of different internal apps and it was becoming quite unmaintainable, and context switching between each was a headache.
Drag and drop of components onto the page vs. hours of formatting and placing my component in ReactJS

I know it's coming soon, but Multi-Page Applications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Management of multiple internal frameworks -> Single Application
Great for quick internal dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks made it easy to create an internal dashboard that pulled data from several internal systems. Whenever I had a question, their support team was both quick to respond and gave very detailed answers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There weren't really any downsides. It took a little bit of time to figure out how the blocks fit together to gather the data I needed, but it wasn't too difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting on business metrics
Perfect tool for building internal admin apps.
What do you like best about the product?
For me, as a backend/API developer with minimal UI development experience, it was surprisingly easy to start using Superblocks and build my first application. The platform itself doesn't require any specific knowledge to get started. The variety of standard "Integrations" covers almost all possible types of data sources, so in most cases, you don't need to adjust your backend API to use it in Superblocks. For more advanced scenarios, such as asynchronous long-running queries, there is a "Workflows" feature that provides you with more flexible control over how you retrieve or process data.
What truly sets Superblocks apart is the exceptional customer support I have received. The team's dedication, responsiveness, and expertise have exceeded my expectations. Whenever I encountered challenges or had questions, the support team was quick to provide clear and helpful solutions.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some minor things that need to be improved or fixed. Additionally, it would be nice to have greater flexibility in the customization of standard components.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's much simpler and more time-effective to build internal tools using Superblocks than developing them from scratch.
A fast and easy way of building UIs
What do you like best about the product?
I've always been of the opinion that building simple backend CRUD UIs is a waste of developers time, time they could be spending in building something that delivers more value.
Superblocks addresses this problem: it's very fast, easy and intuitive to build dashboards and admin UIs.
We all know how frontend ecosystem is, how fast it changes and how quickly things get outdated, with Superblocks all these problems go away and you just need to focus in the 'what' not the 'how', saving precious developer time.
Customer support is ace, they are very responsive and fast to reply to tickets.

What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately there is no way of building automated tests, this for me is a deal breaker in order to build backends in Superblocks.
I think it's great for building UIs, but when trying to build a full complex application using workflows, that's when it gets tricky. You have all the pieces of the puzzle but there isn't a way of knowing how they interact together, what workflow is calling a specific worflow for example. It would be great to have a tool to visualize these dependencies, for example if you update the parameters of a workflow, you can't easily find where it's being called from in order to ammend the caller.
Also there isn't a restriction on what workflows can call a workflow, so when dealing with 100s of workflows this can get really messy. It would be good to have maybe `public` and `private` workflows for each app.

Rapid UI development and deployment.
Fast way to make convenient UI
What do you like best about the product?
We use Superblocks as the frontend of our internal "backoffice" administrative tool and it's a near-perfect fit. It gives us the ability to quicky expose new functionalities to our Support and Complience teams in a pretty and convinient way for them.
Especially easy and usefull is displaying data in tables, where Superblocks assumes the columns from the data itself + the build in ability to download the data as a CSV from any table.

What do you dislike about the product?
Although it is a low-code solution, you still need people to have a significant amount of coding experience to be able to set up things properly and to not make a mess of things.
Another way it's lacking a bit behind in what our organization is used to is environment selection (when using staging vs production) and deployments of new features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks gives us the ability to have a UI without most of the pains of actually supporting that UI
Fast, effective, elegant tool to create powerful web applications & workflows without code
What do you like best about the product?
Elegance of the interface, feature rich and excellent functionality in the free plan makes it straight-forward & easy to get started and develop powerful web apps & workflows.
Integration with common services & technologies such as REST is also very easy to utilise. This allows developers to focus on business logic and interfaces rather than tradionally taking much longer to code various app components.
Staging and Production areas make it easy to deploy and auto backup / versions ensures all changes / rollback is available.
Good customer support for any issues and open to feedback & suggestions.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some minor interface elements that could be optimised.
Change Logs and public roadmaps for features and enhancements would be good.
Local file storage would be useful rather than depending on external file services.

A good choice for internal apps development, better than Retool
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks has been a game-changer in how we build and deploy internal tools. As a backend devloper in a business company, we do not have much professional frontend dev resources to invest in internal app development. Thanks to superblocks, with its intuitive drag-and-drop interface and devleoper-friendly product experience , it greatly simplifies front-end development for us. Even with my very limited front-end expertise, I've been able to quickly create feature-rich internal apps and put them into production, such as database admin panels, BI reports site, and some little but useful dev tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Superblocks would be even better if it supported the following features:
- Multi-page app (with page navigation components like menu bars) support
- More out-of-box pre-built UI & logic components.
- Built-in SQL database and file storage, without integration.
- Support Java or Groovy as a backend coding language, which is widely adopted in our company.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks has been dramatically accelerating our development and depolyment cycles of our internal apps. It's particularly useful for teams like us, which lack front-end development talents and skills. And after some research and try-outs, we think its better than alternatives like Retool. For example, it has concept of "Backend API", which in fact is a convenient flow orchestraion of backend logic, and act exactly like what we backend developer expect: backend API, with not that much hidden magic.
Internal tooling made very easy
What do you like best about the product?
Hands down one of the best products I've used. It made building internal tooling so easy because it is clear that the product is built by engineers for engineers. Things just work the way you expect. Easy to configure for the front end, but also very strong backend automation and integration. The tool does expect the users to have some level of coding experience (hence built for developers), however it does unleash so much flexibity and potentials. I never felt I was restricted by the tool to build what I need, which is often not the case for this type of low-code platforms.
We started using Superblocks as an early stage startup, and it saved us so much time for the implementation. So far, it scales really well as the company continues to go, and we started to leverage more and more of its functionality. Highly recommend!

What do you dislike about the product?
As an backend/data engineer, it took me a while to get a hang of the markup language used in the platform (javascript based).The support has been very responsive and helpful. Although I do wish there are more learning resources on this topic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly use Superblocks to develop our internal tooling. It works almost like Webflow on the front end, but are so much more flexible with the backend integration. Our current usage includes:
- Simple cron jobs
- Customer management
- Ops tools: document generation through API, dashboard
Benefits:
- Fast to implement
- Wide ranges of options for backend integrations: database, API, third party APIs, etc
- Managed platform: no dev-ops needed
