Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's a desktop database app that evolved over decades conservatively without jamming in thoughtless features. You can prototype a fair amount but if you limit yourself to their tools, you'll have the fastest rapid solution creation of anything else out there. This is probably good for a version 1 of many database related apps - even if you have grand plans, you never really know the whole picture until using it and this is probably the best place to begin. Make your custom app from scratch someday but if you want rapid changes and results this is the thing to use. Change around your table structure without hardly any labor or mistakes; unlike SQL.
  • It's an extremely powerful platform, and it walks the line perfectly between a simple tool that's easy to start with, and a full-fledged development environment where the sky is the limit.

Cons

  • It can take many years before they make a useful change you wish they would implement. There are plug-ins and the ability to make standalone apps but the plug-in system is a last resort in my opinion. MOST your needs are built-in if you start to need extensions then you should move to making an app... but then when you realize the TIME it'll take you to recreate it... you end up staying. They push for subscriptions like everybody; but they will sell you an expensive perpetual license still; which I prefer and worry someday they may stop... migrating between large leaps in versions is always painless (like MS products.)
  • The only limitation I've found so far is that an application will scale to about 1,000 concurrent users, but that hasn't presented any kind of problem for me.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The design team is outstanding - we continually get compliments on how professional and intuitive our app is - they truly made us look good. The tech dev team is brilliant and solution orientated. All are accessible and willing to help us succeed on their platform. The dev ops platform enabled us to get our start-up off the ground in a scalable way.
  • The power and flexibility of the platform is exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a tech stack that allowed us to achieve whatever project we needed to build for our customers, whilst not handling the devops and raw infrastructure. That is all taken care of for us, including all of the security and reliability that we need.
  • The right balance between having control and not having to control everything. We can build pretty much anything but leave the DevOps to the experts. Finding that balance of performance, security, reliability, scalability and flexibility is extremely hard especially at the right price point.
  • For my application, flexibility and performance are the biggest pros of building on PlatformOS. Not needing to manage the infrastructure is also a huge benefit. The documentation is also very easy to use and understand.

Cons

  • The project took more time than expected and we had to give up on some scoped items in the end.
  • Knowing all the pieces to the puzzle to achieve your solution. The control you get is amazing, however that comes with responsibility. I wouldn't say it is a con as the freedom allows us to create solutions we couldn't do on other platforms, you just need to do your homework and know how the pieces all fit together.
  • There is a learning curve but it's 100% expected if you want this level of control and flexibility. They have worked hard to make the onboarding as easy as possible and have won various awards for how they've gone about this. Pricing is usage based and you have to be clear on your own pricing model, again this is expected from a PaaS platform but something to be aware of.
  • Not necessarily a con, but there is a learning curve.
