Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Not many as the product doesn’t work and you waste your time trying to find fixes for the problems that you encounter.
  • You can develop almost anything in Alpha Anywhere from complex, enterprise-strength, multi-language cloud-hosted web applications to mobile apps, APIs, web services and everything in-between. The developers are very responsive to feature suggestions and bug reports. They are also really nice people to deal with - an important (and often overlooked!) factor when choosing a software development partner. The Alpha Anywhere framework exposes almost unlimited opportunities to get "under the hood" and code as much as you like (or as little as you like). Most Internet standards and languages are respected and available. You can develop applications which look they have been coded by hand, with virtually no coding actually needed. You can also use the built-in features, templates and genies (wizards) to quickly prototype and test out ideas for software. Even deploying and sharing the results with clients is easy, once you understand the basic Alpha principles.
  • That we can create apps for web, iOS and Android all from the same platform using one code base. A user can make significant progress on an app within a very short amount of time in comparison to other platforms.
  • I have used Alpha software products for 30 years. There is no other company as responsive to feature requests.
  • Strong security mechanism; robust features; we haven't found any task it can't handle; powerful data exchange tools; works well on all devices; builds powerful, device friendly 'apps' that don't require download from the app store, though you can integrate and sell through the app store, too.

Cons

  • Don’t waste your money on Alpha Anywhere. Features they say work doesn’t work and they always try to blame you the client because it doesn’t work. You are better off hiring someone to build your front end for you in a native coding language!
  • The flip side to being so responsive is that the product is rarely "stable". We would actually prefer fewer updates for a more consistent and reliable approach to public builds. We are a growing, multinational software company and it isn't always easy to find new Alpha Anywhere developers to bring into the team. Instead, we now look for staff and contractors with good web dev skills (JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL) and then add the Alpha Anywhere special sauce to their skillset ourselves.
  • Applying styling to things could be a little bit better.
  • The styling and CSS could use some improvement, especially if you want to style anything other than straight out of the box.
  • Takes a little effort to optimize page loading, but not that hard.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Once we set it up, it was incredibly easy to update text on our website. We wanted our marketing team to be able to make updates instead of having to go through a developer. We are a small business o we value efficiency.
  • The best thing about Webflow is the fact that it is able to design everything without spending all the time coding everything, it is a robust software that helps with the design aspect of beautiful websites and provide a structure that helps slowly build the website, with things like HTML and JavaScript, it also integrates fully responsive and helpful data that helps create with professionalism in mind, it helps understand the motives of each design and what it helps with in terms of engagement with the users, and the styles are very creative and can be customized to help with the branding of the business, it has a helpful drag and drop tool to help build faster and delete anything in case it is necessary, this tool is very useful because it makes everything so much easier and the designing of the page becomes more entertaining and intuitive, the information can be included with this feature and the results are done way faster.
  • It the easiest tool to build business and blog websites. It doesn't need coding to develop, so it's easy for anyone to use. Forms and surveys can also be developed. Simple drag and drop steps required for the development.

Cons

  • We have our site on Webflow and are undergoing a SOC-2 audit accreditation process for our company. We have hit a snag because SOC-2 requirements state we need certain headers on our website but Webflow is actually blocking us from being able to add the required headers. Their rationale is that we have to upgrade to "enterprise lite" for $15k annually in order to add the standard headers. For context, we added these headers to our product websites within minutes and achieved A+ ratings. Webflow is actually blocking us from being SOC-2 compliant unless we shell out $15k additional every year for the ability to add "custom" headers -- what they call "custom" are industry standard headers that any SOC-2 compliant website needs to have in place. Our website is a 9 page static website with just text. I would not say Webflow is secure or SOC-2 compliant given this experience, I would call them "SOC-2 optional" - and only an option if you pay 49x the regular price for a basic website.
  • It has its great limitations which is very understandable because it actually works without coding, and there is only so much one can do without having to use code. But overall, I think that Webflow is very good and it is constantly providing new tools in the new versions that they release, I would like to see more editing options to the different addition of multimedia in the websites, and I would like to be able to edit simultaneously with other coworkers or even just one more team member, which helps build faster, it would be really nice to be able to do this because it would increase collaboration between the members in the business, I don't want to just be able to edit myself at the same time, but other people too and help each other communicating what has to be done.
  • In my experience, Webflow is an outstanding tool to develop.
