Low code tool that's thought out well
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks is easy to get started with and enables you to quickly create internal tooling. It can integrate with data from a wide variety of services, and is quite flexible. It allows you to write custom code either in data processing or for the frontend components that get displayed to the users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like other low-code tools, you're likely to run into the problem where you can accomplish most of what you want with the visual editors, but then find that the remaining work is more difficult. Superblocks mostly mitigates this by allowing you to put custom code pretty much wherever you want, but having this code scattered around is still not as efficient as just having a repository with proper version control that you can edit with an actual IDE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've personally used it to create an internal QA dashboard that allows content authors to see at a glance which articles on our site might need attention.

Excelent platform to build internal tools
What do you like best about the product?
It has a flexible platform, allowing you to write in python, js, and SQL, with easy-to-use on-premise agents, and adequate docs. It's easy to get started, with intuitive UI\UX. Support responds quickly. Our team and customers engage with the platform almost every day. Integration with AWS services also is good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, there was a lack of custom components and OPA was tricky to setup. Now everything is great.

Perfect blend of old-school coding and AI utilization
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate the most is how it doesn't feel like it's trying to replace the traditional coding experience but rather enhance it. Superblocks is a must-have for any 100x developer as it unbelievably speeds up the coding, integrating external data sources, and deploying apps. The interface is intuitive and easy for any developer to use; it just feels familiar. Lastly, the customer support is like nothing I've ever seen. Ten minutes since bug-report the fix was on production - unbelievable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more backend languages to choose from. Yet, I've built an app using Python for the first time in hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduces costs and allows me to 100x my time by building and shipping features much faster than before. Not to mention the lack of maintenance costs.
Great Admin Tooling
What do you like best about the product?
Its very intuitive, I got used to it withing 3 days of learning and was effectively able to develop after that. The official documentation also helps a lot.
It is very easy to setup an application and give out permissions and access control to whomever needs it. Git integration is a big plus for me.
Alongside the official docs, customer support is very helpful, we had multiple calls and chats with them, and we have a dedicated slack channel with the support people for any problems we encounter.

What do you dislike about the product?
The superblocks agent the apps are running on sometimes bugs out, and then the app stops working, but this happens really rarely.
Also, some features like if/else blocks weren't adopted when I was using Superblocks, but I think they're coming in the future.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use Superblocks to build frontends for admins/moderators of our data, saving time on building complex UI's just for them, and enabling us to focus more on the backend side. Also, any quick demo's I don't want to showcase through Postman, I spin up a Superblocks app and voila!
Superblocks is a powerful application building tool that's easy to learn!
What do you like best about the product?
Prior to Superblocks, we had multiple different teams working on their own DIY frameworks to solve different internal tooling needs. We eventually hit a point where the maintenance and upgrading of SDKs and frameworks, onboarding of new developers, and other ci / cd processes became a huge drag on actually delivering solutions. Superblocks has allowed us to offload that drag and get back to building tooling that solves needs and improves efficiencies in our organization. It’s also enabled us to shift most of our internal tooling development to junior engineers as they can learn the tool extremely quickly, and most of the time have something deployed by end of day!
Additionally, Superblocks has allowed us to build tooling in a more interactive way. Since it’s extremely quick to drag and drop components and hook up APIs and database connections, we can start prototyping solutions for teams in meetings while they give direct feedback. This allows us to greatly reduce back-and-forth as we try to build custom workflows and processes for different teams in our organization.
We have also started making a lot of use of their workflow builder. It’s much easier to build out ETLs and data sync processes when you don’t have to worry about spinning up a service, infrastructure to support it, and all the devops concerns when you are just trying to get data in the right place.
Overall, Superblocks has been a great platform for us to build out applications, ETLs and syncs. It allows us to build out internal tooling solutions 2-3x faster, with much less overhead. Throughout this process, the Superblocks team has been incredibly helpful. We have been able to give direct feedback on their roadmap and get help with implementation and report bugs directly in Slack to them. It’s been a great experience so far, and I look forward to a lot of the roadmap items they are delivering this year!

What do you dislike about the product?
Everything currently missing in Superblocks is on their roadmap, but the main things I’m looking forward to are
- Solution for global navigation to give end users a better interface to see applications available and switch between them
- Multi page applications
- More administrative features around workflows and scheduling jobs
- Layouts to allow grid-based reactive UIs

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks has allowed us to shift internal tooling to more junior engineers, and given us a platform to consolidate fragmented DIY frameworks into a common solution.
Customized components with great SQL environment and workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Easy-to-use but can be customized a lot with code both in back-end and front-end.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited component features, like customizing a table and many problems with the date picker. Python needs to be improved a lotby adding libraries and a nicer environment with code autocompletion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fantastic engineers team always willing to help. The flexibility to write SQL queries and Python is a great foundation to start from. However, Python does not have that many features and packages. By giving the option to the user to customize more the components and write python code for machine learning, Superblocks could compete other platforms which allow the users to fully customize their applications.
Brilliant for internal apps and business process automation
What do you like best about the product?
The main problem with low code tools is that at some point you hit the "computer says no" wall, where the compromises made by the designers of your tools become hard constraints on your ability to implement what you need to. Having been an extensive user of Superblocks for the last 12 months I still haven't hit this wall.
What do you dislike about the product?
This isn't a reasonable thing to ask for, but some level of responsiveness from SB apps and/or a mobile app version of the tool so you can access your tooling on the go would be perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a fairly technical product and operations team, and for them to be able to make applications for their own internal workflows without distracting the engineering team has been invaluable.
The best no-code tool I've found
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks has extensive video content to learn their no-code system. I was able to connect my data sources and build my first dashboard in a single day. As a non-technical user I was able to get pretty far on my own. The dashboards we've created in Superblocks are essential to our day-to-day operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of capabilities of Superblocks that are beyond my tech skillset and I am searching for the right data engineering resources to take full advantage of the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have disparate data sources that need to be in one place. We've connected our Snowflake, ZenDesk, and proprietary sources into a single dashboard. It eliminates constant app-switching for our data consumers.
Super helpful software
What do you like best about the product?
I love the amount of things you can build and how easy it is. Their support is awesome and always quick to get back to you.
What do you dislike about the product?
The billing/breakdown for users is a bit confuing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks has made it so anyone can do the tasks that our developers needed to do. We have also been able to easily create reports to help make business decisions.

What do you dislike about the product?
While I'm enjoying using Superblocks, some things that I don't enjoy:
1- I feel limited with what I can achieve due to my non-technical background
2- I couldn't find a way to reference code across apps, which would make it so much easier to use
