Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Ease of Use (Low-code/No-code): BuildShip allows developers and non-developers to create APIs, schedule jobs, and perform CRUD operations without writing extensive code. This reduces the learning curve and speeds up development. AI Integration: The platform supports AI-generated nodes and multimodal AI, enabling users to leverage advanced AI features for automation, predictions, or data analysis without requiring expertise in AI programming. Support for NPM Packages: BuildShip provides access to a vast ecosystem of NPM packages, enabling developers to extend functionalities with ease. Customizable Code: Even though it’s a low-code platform, developers have the flexibility to customize the code, combining visual development with traditional coding when necessary. One-Click Deployment: BuildShip simplifies deployment processes, allowing users to launch projects quickly to any cloud platform without manual setup. Database Management: Built-in tools for performing CRUD operations and managing data across various cloud platforms streamline backend workflows. Scalability: BuildShip projects can scale effectively due to its backend capabilities and integration with major cloud providers. Time Efficiency: The visual interface and automation of repetitive tasks reduce development time, making it ideal for rapid prototyping or small to medium-scale projects. Collaboration-Friendly: Teams can collaborate easily on projects, thanks to a structured workflow and intuitive user interface. Integration with Third-party Tools: BuildShip supports seamless integration with various tools like Notion, making it a great fit for building workflows or custom business solutions.

Cons

  • Learning Curve for Advanced Features: While the basic functionalities are intuitive, leveraging advanced features like AI-generated nodes or custom integrations might require additional effort and technical knowledge. Limited Control: Low-code platforms like BuildShip may not provide as much control or flexibility as traditional coding, which can be a constraint for highly complex or unique applications. Dependency on the Platform: Applications built on BuildShip might face vendor lock-in, making migration to other platforms or systems difficult. Performance for Large-scale Applications: BuildShip might not be as optimized as traditional frameworks for very large or resource-intensive applications. Cost: While it saves time, BuildShip’s pricing might be prohibitive for small teams or freelancers, especially if projects require extensive features or resources. Customization Limitations: Although it offers customizable code, developers might find some limitations when trying to implement highly specific or unconventional solutions. Limited Offline Support: Most low-code platforms, including BuildShip, heavily rely on internet connectivity, making offline work challenging or impossible. Community and Ecosystem: Compared to traditional programming languages or frameworks, the community support and documentation for BuildShip might be limited. Security Concerns: Since BuildShip handles a lot of backend processes, users must trust the platform to secure sensitive data and APIs. Custom security features may be harder to implement. Over-reliance on Visual Tools: The drag-and-drop approach can sometimes lead to over-complicated workflows that are harder to debug or scale compared to well-structured code.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There are several reasons why nVent chose to partner with FLEX 83: 1. Extremely competitive platform. 2. Fixed yearly maintenance, no limit on the number of connected devices and users. As the business volume increases, the better value to nVnet where the other platforms, the cost to add connected devices and users increased. There is more opportunity to make bigger money on the 83IoT platform compared to the older incumbents. 3. Flex83 model for using sprint development to pay down the yearly maintenance was key for us. Our organization needed the sprints to develop platform and on-board field devices and to have the yearly maintenance cost to be offset by the sprints was a key decision factor. The best value for the buck! 4. The software is very easy to use and intuitive. 83Incs has been extremely helpful and committed to nVent success in moving the company forward with connecting our legacy installed controller base to the cloud platform. They have over achieved and over delivered often from the original sprint contents to ensure our product success. 5. Flex83 is always improving their products and the customer get these upgrades as part of the normal maintenance fees. We gain much more value for our dollar than we would working with other cloud development organizations/platforms.
  • Team at IoT83 are engineers at heart, with a focus on making the solution successful for us and our customers. The flexibility and scalability of the IoT83 platform was a major benefit as we moved from validation to large scale production deployments of over 4M CPE.

Cons

  • From my perspective, I have only positive feedback. During my RFQ process I have seen and evaluated several vendors platform, two of the largest in fact. The incumbent platforms were cumbersome, old and could not scale to meet our needs. Some vendors developed their own proprietary software which is risky since not using open source, there is no guarantee that these platform have all the necessary security built in. I like that the software is continuously being developed and existing libraries are open sourced and get routinely upgraded which is comforting that the 83inc platform will be secured with the latest security updates.
  • As one of the first major customers of IoT83, we had some early challenges meeting our scalability requirements; however the team worked hard to overcome these challenges and allowed us to meet our target for a successful production deployment.
