"Amazing product, a real shame about the huge price rise"
What do you like best about WaveMaker?

The possibility that other business users not just developers can contribute to the development of our applications. For example our graphics person can help with design, allowing our developers to focus on their work and speed up the development phase and get to market faster. The ease of use for less experienced employees to learn and be involved in new product development is a huge benefit to the company, as getting input from other staff members makes for a better product. My developers really love the ease of migration from our legacy systems using Wavemaker, and I would use it for my new company if the pricing structure had not changed. WAVElens is a huge bonus and time saver, to be able to preview apps without all the fuss it a massive benefit.

What do you dislike about WaveMaker?

The PRICE !!!,, Wow $60,000 USD per year minimum, this is a MASSIVE jump in price and pretty much eliminates startups from utilizing the software. New business / tech start ups, could not afford this as part of their initial budget on top all other other tech requirements needed to deploy their applications. Support is OK, but due to not being in their time zone I have to wait almost 8 hours for a response.

What problems is WaveMaker solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed to market for ideas or MVP's and the ability to use WAVElens is a game changer. One of the other problems in the past is getting the non tech people to be part of a project, this is critical to my business, as they are the people communicating the needs of the clients, when they can see fast development and preview things and work with the developers to make change son the fly, it impresses both myself and the clients.
