AwareIM

Pros: The platform is complete including email-provider | report-generator | workflow | import. It offers all you need to build amazing apps. You can choose several popular DB's like MariaDB. Tables (business objects) are strongly linked.

Cons: The demo-applications are not the most attractive.

Pros: Impressive and neat presentation of developed applications to the end user.

Cons: I found it hard initially, having come from a non-oop background. Things like to lack of local variables, strictly predefined relationships and others, but this has faded over time.

Pros: $7b

Cons: The Report writer is not great - but with so much else going on - I neither need or use it. But I guess some people are still hell bent on consuming a tropical rain forest or two.

Pros: I hate writing traditional, procedural code. Its what kept me from working my way through the K&R "C" book in 1985. I was already into 3GL tools and just didn't like writing low-level code. AwareIM isn't "no code"... but thats if I need to add in some Javascript (or Java) somewhere. And there's still "Logic" related steps/rules/"code" to write. But a lot of the work is done in AwareIM... not like a code generator makes tons of code behind the scenes for you, but an environment thats built for business to help assist you in making applications.

Cons: AwareIM developers have things we wish were improved, sure. Nothings perfect. But most of us are in close-contact with a development & support team that listen and respond to requests and bug fixes regularly.

Pros: The power of design and development from novice to expert.

Cons: The only Con that I can come up with is you. The developer and designer imagination.

Pros: Su forma fácil y amigable de desarrollar

Cons: que los formularios no lucen como si fueran formularios web

Pros: AwareIM allows you to develop applications in less time. Its business rule based engine allows for managing business logic in a simple manner from each table or Business Object as they are called in AwareIM. Creating queries and forms is fast. Built in library of Kendo UI widgets is very nice and expanding with each new release. Customization using CSS, HTML, java script is endless.

Cons: Report writer needs to be improved. It based on Jasper Reports but has limited features compared to the Jasper Reports itself. Processing a lot of records can be slow.

Pros: I am a MS Access Developer of 28 years and have written many commercial level programs using that platform. I looked for quite a while to find a replacement for my clients who were using MS Access and I found Aware IM. I found the software to be very easy to use, very intuitive, and the How to Use, User Manual & all the Training Videos made the process so easy. The team at Aware IM were very responsive and gave me several one-on-one training sessions when I requested them. So far I have built 6 systems using the program, two of which will be rolled out to clients in the next 6 months. My customers seem to be very happy with the results so far and with the cost of the licence.

Cons: There has been a bit of an issue with linking current clients' SQL Server Data where the Foreign Key should link all the tables together. This is a bit hit and miss with the naming convention as you cannot use the same field name as the primary key in either of the tables. I am still trying to work away round this issue.

Pros: I like the fact that AwareIM provides a complete RAD solution enabling you to develop more or less anything you want (without needing to have all of the technical knowhow). You can use the default RAD GUI and develop complex applications but you can also "tinker" and do more complex stuff, integrations, JS stuff etc. etc. if you want to as AwareIM is "open" for things like that. I also like Awaresoft consistently releasing new versions year after year with new great stuff and the goodness just keeps on coming.

Cons: The learning curve is quite steep and it is sometimes difficult to get feedback through to Awaresoft about things I as a user want, bugs I see etc. but I can´t blame that on Awaresoft as I am one of their users and they surely get a lot of different feedback ideas, suggestions etc. etc. on a daily basis.

Pros: Get up to speed very quickly for basic features, ease of deployment

Cons: UI is very clunky. Difficult to deliver a polished, professional looking UI unless you are an HTML/Javascript expert, or someone that has used the product for years. Internal support was poor, so getting advanced features to work was next to impossible.

Pros: Aware IM allows me to not have to deal with most of the minute details of building database driven websites, unless I really want to. I can concentrate on the things that are most important and not have to worry much about what goes on 'behind the curtain'.

Cons: There is a significant learning curve. Like many frameworks, it is opinionated and expects things done in certain ways.

Pros: Web App development of line-of-business is easy with this fully featured application configurator - low code tool. Our line-of-business apps require robust UI and non-procedural rules engine performance and AwareIM has all of it. I have 35 plus years of 4GL framework experience with multiple framework products and I have never seen a more complete product. We develop apps that extend ERP systems with REST services (very complete) in AwareIM.

Cons: The automatic documentation part of the tool should be template-ized as we must provide documentation of complex apps. The fast application development using this agile development tool would greatly benefit from additional capability in this area.

Pros: AwareIM is a very well structured application development platform and takes care of creating the entire user interface of an application using clever visual perspective controls. The software allows a developer to build an entire application database structure behind the scenes without needing specialist database administration skills and SQL knowledge. Using AwareIM's version control and testing tools makes prototyping ideas for a proof of concept a very simple task before progressing to full application development. The sample applications, documentation and video tutorials that are available, provide excellent reference for building any application. This is all well complemented by excellent support from the AwareIM team and an active developer community.

Cons: It is an extremely addictive software application, so tend to spend hours using AwareIM without getting bored :)

Pros: AwareIM gives the opportunity to individual irrespective of a professional developer or regular administrator to create the application without boundaries.

Cons: The Configuration tool is little flaky sometimes and builds updates could be easier.

Pros: Nice look, easy navigation and easy integration with other applications.

Cons: The import tool is clunky and needs to be improved so end user (non - developers) can import data themselves.

Pros: Defining and maintaining a domain model is a snap. Generating the UI, even with multiple levels of nested collections is simple but very powerful. Deployment of updates can be previewed in test mode and confidently applied to production. Extensions in Java are powerful and straightforward. The system easily supports over one hundred objects/entities with excellent performance.

Cons: Earlier versions did not support having multiple developers working on the same project. That weakness has been corrected in more recent versions.

Pros: Aware IM can be installed on your own premise, that makes it a rare feature in the world of zero code platform, in the same price range. It is optimize for business oriented application, with simple and clean user interfaces for the final application. You don´t need to take care of the design of every single element. Has basically all the functions requested for the creation of business applications database-oriented. Finally, the support is very responsive.

Cons: The license mechanism is not immediatly clear. If you want to deploy the running application on a server, while keeping the editing on a local desktop, you need basically two differen licenses.

Pros: $7c

Cons: This sounds trite, but my biggest con is that I can't allocate more of my time to using AwareIM to build more systems.

Pros: $7d

Cons: It has a closed community as of now with very less experts and developers which makes it sometime difficult to overcome with a technical issue. Only one developer can work on one app (bsv) at one time so increasing manpower to meet timelines in case of critical deliveries does not work well here. Rest all is good. Very happy and satisfied to use the product.

Pros: AwareIM is a future-ready software development architecture aimed at `no code or low code concept. This is a fantastic software development tool which helps one reduce time to market (TTM). With its simplified coding language, one can easily get on with development activities. AwareIM's capability can further be increased by integrating it with custom java coding. Such coding is needed to achieve certain business requirements which is not readily available with AwareIM's configuration tool. AwareIM is directly linked with Agile methodology of software development. There can be numerous iterations and releases with AwareIM. It makes coding simpler. It is beyond magic.

Cons: 1. UI is not attractive enough based on today's UI options we see in the market. 2. The developer community is not as big as other RAD tools in the market, although their service is good.

Pros: I like that everything you need is included: database maintenance, forms, queries are provided as Standard, Calendar/Scheduler and Custom. Email templates, Report writer and the best thing - the Rules engine.

Cons: Only complaint is to get new bootstrap versions incorporated quicker and more features of the kendo ui.

Pros: The software is really easy to use and is based on several standards. What I like the most, is the continuous improvements and updates of the software. Aware IM always brings new features that you can easily implement on current applications.

Cons: Aware IM doesn't have out-of-the-box integrations with other solutions. Maybe it is because it is a developer tool, but it would greatly be appreciated to provide those integrations. I have to say that the mechanism for doing the integrations are included in the software.
