Review Appsmith?

Reviewers mostly praise Appsmith for making internal tools and dashboards fast to build without boxing users into rigid no-code rules. They repeatedly highlight the drag-and-drop UI, easy connections to APIs and databases, JavaScript and SQL-based logic, external libraries, git sync, and self-hosting. Several say it helps both non-technical teammates and developers ship reporting, CRUD apps, prototypes, and even public dashboards more quickly. Criticism is scarce, but one reviewer says the lack of direct DOM interaction still limits some advanced use cases.

We love this. As a fintech + Spend Management product -- a big part of our life depends on internal reporting. Appsmith makes it easy to run reports and make them available for our internal teams. We use roles. We use SSO. We do a lot of queries. We do a lot of dashboards. Anytime a CS or a Sales person asks for a report or a data pull -- we add that as a report on Appsmith. We build everything for internal teams and continuously add "stuff." Thanks to the team for doing the grind to make it easy for the rest of us.

Appsmith has been one of my favorite internal dashboard/app builder since it's inception. I've seen this platform grow from being a basic tool to the scale it has grown to what it is today. - Makes it so easy for non-developers to interact with databases and quickly build interfaces. - Makes it even more easy for developers to spend the least amount of time working on the same old interfaces and dashboards without having to replicate the same code-base over and over again. - With the recent feature to integrate external libraries, appsmith goes to a whole new level. - I've even built public facing dashboards and tools on my self hosted version of appsmith. While it is still a long way to go for the platform, deeply appreciate the effort of @nikhil_nandagopal, @mohanarpit and @abhishek_nayak2 for staying focused to building an open source platform that doesn't fail to deliver, collect continuous feedback from the community and also offer ample amount of opportunities for the community to contribute back to the platform!

As a back-end and database developer who dreams in data, appsmith makes me look like I have style and panache enough to build a UI (which I don't, but appsmith enables me to look good). Especially when I'm prototyping something and need feedback, I can build out a UI in appsmith that makes the backend design usable. It is much easier to get buy-in from stakeholders who can visually play with the actual app so easily. I like that it is nimble and flexible enough that I've never felt held back when doing anything complex. That's a huge win for me.
