With many no-code /low-code tools out in market. (Tools like @Appsmith, @Retool, @DronaHQ, @jetadmin @bubble etc ) I am building an evaluation tool which will help user to evaluate the platform and identify the right one for his/her needs. I have broken down the parameters according to following categories (And given weightage to each categories & parameter within)
- Basic
- Frontend Development
- Actionflows/ Event handlers
- Branding
- Developer Productivity & Tooling
- BPM Workflows
- Automation Capabilities
- Built-in Database
- Integration Capabilities
- Deployment
- Sharing
- User Management
- Security
- Support + Community
- App Lifecycle Support
- Analytics
- Pricing Flexibility<p>How do you evaluate the platforms/tools? Which parameters are of most importance to you? Any thoughts or other evaluation tools that you would like me to refer to?<p>P.S. Once built I will share the tool with the community here.
I don’t care about all the prebuilt integrations. I care if it has the one/s I need.<p>Does it do what I need?<p>What’s pricing like or it’s structure?<p>When is it not worth it? - What do I earn from this? How much can I spend per client? How much would it be to hire someone to build a custom solution?
I'd add 2 things:<p>- Who is going to be the end user? Sales, CS, operations - non-technical people, who may need your help with it later?
- Are you planning to scale or stay small?<p>Btw, there is also @ForestAdmin.
I assume at some point all of these types of services are either too costly or can't handle volume after some number.<p>So cost and scaling might be important within each category.
