What do you like best about the product?

I love the ability to create bite sized blocks, connect to APIs, and build working apps quickly. I mostly use for connecting to AI gateway to help me improve my efficiency. Deploying feels pretty straightforward.

What do you dislike about the product?

I can sometimes get a bit lost when setting up my connections to my buttons and text fields to what I want them to do. I feel like I could benefit from a cheat sheet or instructions for what I want to build.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I want to quickly build AI apps for my work and helping me improve efficiencies so getting ideas and implementing quickly for an MVP is ideal.

What do you like best about the product?

As a software engineer, I am always in the trenches. With constant hurdles and pain points, I have been yearning for a product that can help mitigate the amount of interfaces that I need to build, while also having limited worry on middleware. Superblocks has done it, the ease-of-use, the intuitive tool design, the amount of features has left me jumping for joy. I am not one to say this lightly but has Superblocks made coding fun again? The answer is YES! I specifically like the out-of-the-box pagination features on tables, includes controls on column filtering and sorting. I also like how it supports plenty of integrations we used Postgres + Redis, but with such a long list of support, it has given us ideas for furture projects. Also important to note is we had a slack channel with the Superblocks team in charge of our account,
they were always at the ready, and very communicative with us. It was nice to know that if I had gotten stuck that they were right there ready to assist. Hats off the the Superblocks team, 10/10 would recommend.

What do you dislike about the product?

I think the only potential issue someone may have with Superblocks is during peer reviewing via github or other source control. It's built using YAML files, so if you are not used to yaml, it might be a bit of a challenge. With that, I have no complaints at all.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Personally its UI creation, I have a strong back-end background but when it comes to creating robust interfaces I tend to rely on others for assistance. Superblocks gave me the ability create exactly what I was looking for with out-of-the-box components. Also I appreciated direct integration with my database, usually I would need to create my own api and make calls to it from the front end. Superblocks was built directly on top.

What do you like best about the product?

Superblocks allows us to stand up new internal tools extremely fast - often just a day or two from idea to delivery. And it enables a much wider set of people in the org to work on those tools - often folks who would lack the background to approach a traditional web-application.

What do you dislike about the product?

You can get a new application running astonishingly fast, but then maintenance of those applications can be a challenge. I would not recommend having multiple developers try to work on the same app at the same time, even though this is technically supported via the git support.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing us to prototype and deliver internal applications extremely fast.

What do you like best about the product?

Superblocks helps my teams stop writing throw-away scripts and instead build an internal arsenal of helpful, reusable tooling. Before, we were plagued with dozens of slightly different takes on one-off scripts scattered across individual engineers' or technical users' machines.

Before -- each script often existed in isolation, leading to solving the same small friction points again and again, as these scripts were rewritten repeatedly.

Today -- we have simple tools that dozens of non-technical users can benefit from and technical teams only need to design a simple solution once.

Creating a new tool is *almost* as fast as writing a throw-away script -- but with the added benefit that Superblocks lets us turn what were once disposable scripts into long-lived, durable internal tools. This lets our teams spend more time improving products and less time doing throw-away work.

It's also amazing to connect tooling and data from internal systems, Snowflake, our own AI platform and outside APIs too.


Out with scripts and in with tools!

What do you dislike about the product?

Superblocks is absolutely not a no-code platform. If your team isn't technical already, they're not going to get the most of of Superblock's capabilities.

While Superblocks customer support and customer engineering teams are top notch, they can't operate the platform on your behalf -- so you'll still need Engineers to think through how to code the right functionality to achieve a solution to your problem.

It's a double-edged sword -- the benefit is that scaling simple javascript snippets to hundreds of people is dead simple. The drawback is that you need to learn to accomplish things using code and the Superblocks UI and learn to do so in the Superblocks way.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Internal tooling that otherwise would exist as a one-off, throw-away script to accomplish a task. Role-based access control to the internal tools created. Integration management to let practitioners query datasets without needing direct credentials to a data store.

What do you like best about the product?

I'll preface by saying I'm a product manager first, with strong SQL chops but otherwise relatively low directly technical capabilities. I've had great success before building in Bubble, but when it came time for my company to replace our internal tools, the engineers wanted to use Superblocks, and I was chosen to lead the project.

I was able to work with a few of our senior BE engineers, and our DevOps engineer, to successfully design, build out, and release a new Admin Application for our Axial's marketplace, which serves thousands of professionals in the private capital markets.

The bottom line of this success story is that Superblocks allowed this PM to deliver an interface that would have taken engineers many months to build from scratch. There were no show-stopping features missing: pretty much requirement that mattered had support or a workaround. And now that my app is out, it's stable, has been met with rave reviews from my teammates, all the way up to the CEO, I'm able to ship really rapid iterations.

What do you dislike about the product?

The biggest issue on my end was the learning curve, given I'm from a no-code background. So, thank goodness for ChatGPT. There was no shortage of puzzles to work out in order to get the app to behave the way I wanted, so creativity and patience were very important. This app does not come close to Bubble's ease of use and intuitiveness, for a user like me (where it wins against Bubble is the simplicity of pricing).

There are definitely LOTS of features and nice-to-haves we would like to see supported, but since what we built is an internal tool, and most of the basic capabilities are "good enough", we can now afford to shrug and move on.

The Superblocks team is relatively responsive in our shared Slack channel. Occasionally a day or so might go by without a response, but a simple bump with a mention is usually effective in getting their attention. And when we've had something truly critical (e.g., app is down, or for some reason folks on our team can't do their job), they have been most supportive in resolving ASAP.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Superblocks provides an effective solution to enable a moderately technical person deliver a production-ready, enterprise internal application. Their capabilities gave me, a non-engineer, the superpower of being able to create a significant new experience for our internal tools, dramatically improving on the status quo and allowing us to sever off a massive slice of tech debt.

What do you like best about the product?

Superblocks is a great way to quickly test out and rapidly prototype ideas. Once they take form, you can put them to use and continue to iterate on what works. What you are looking for might not exist today, but top notch support is willing to help you find a solution with what is available, and with an evolving featureset, there've been times where they later added functionality to help me more directly achive my needs.

What do you dislike about the product?

Rolling out new features and improvements is great, but there have been times where bugs/incompatibilities were released to my surprise. Thankfully, their support were able to address my issues quickly.

Group access controls are pretty fairly crude so achieving anything more than the simplest RBAC can be clunky.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reduce time and cost to build custom applications.

What do you like best about the product?

The team was very helpful with onboarding our team. They are very knowledgeable about the many use cases that their platform can support.

What do you dislike about the product?

They are just getting started but are excited about their potential to disrupt the back-office software space.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are solving for giving companies the power to easily build their own tools without being locked into expensive contracts with clunky software products.

What do you like best about the product?

Superblocks is great because it lets us construct frontend applications without needing to code, but also allows for using code where necessary. It's a sweet spot between no-code and full internal tooling. Support has also been very quick and responsive whenever I've engaged with them.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sharing blocks across different applications is suboptimal, and the libraries available in the Javascript environment are pretty minimal. More flexible environment creation would definitely help us with some of our apps.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Superblocks helps us build robust internal tooling without needing to hire additional frontend engineers or UI engineers. We've been able to build a wide range of tools using just the low-code builder that Superblocks offers.

What do you like best about the product?

It's not until you truly attempt a wide roll-out of an internal tooling platform that you understand the difference between an impressive demo and the reality of trying to integrate dozens of systems. Superblocks is engineered for an impressive balance of flexibility and ease of use which has supported our 3 person team in maintaining momentum of onboarding dozens of organizations with hundreds of users. This simply wouldn't be possible without Superblocks (believe me, we have tried!).

The design philosophy of Superblocks is fundamentally different to any other solution we have evaluated, owing to a deep understanding baked into the product of the practical challenges faced by medium-large organizations. Superblocks provides intergration points to solve for integration challenges at every level, setting it apart from competitors in the way that Auth0 did for AuthN/AuthZ. Other options we explored made too many assumptions about our business & tech, so be sure to bring your most frustrating use cases to your evaluations and you'll start to understand how Superblocks differentiates.

The barrier to building internal tools for our organization was our heterogeneous enterprise network architecture consisting of multi-cloud and on-premise networks relying on multiple VPNs to access our services. Superblocks has an on-premise agent which flexible deployment enabling us to onboard dozens of teams to develop internal tools without requiring traffic to traverse the internet. This is simply the current reality for many hyper-grown companies, so we love to find vendors who meet us where we're at without criticizing the maturity of our architecture.

Being able to inject code to almost any component of the tool provides an escape hatch for our users to bind to legacy or esoteric systems, often being able to port existing bindings across and without relying on Superblocks to prioritize and build custom product features for us. Support for workflows also means we're able to move asynchronous tasks and ETLs previously driven by opaque CI tools, providing the observability and reliability we need for our processes.

All of this is complemented by the Superblocks support team acting as an extension of our organization. The result is our teams being empowered to solve their own tooling gaps without having to undergo a vast multi-year modernization effort or sacrificing control and compliance. We have experienced even non-technical users being able to ramp up and author their own custom integrations using generative AI features, which is something which would be unimaginable before.

Superblocks is here as a partner for the long-haul of modernizing our business. The ROI was proven in weeks, not months, and this compounds as more users become familiar with using the tools and our users continue to organically drive down COGS in innovative ways we hadn't even considered before.

What do you dislike about the product?

Superblocks has focused on investment in flexibility of the tool authoring experience, which is the right prioritization call. Where it is lacking is support for enterprise features in their management console, such as support for custom domains, ability to create and manage multiple tenants mapped to organizational units, centralized policies to act as guardrails (in the way that AWS SCP works), and visibility into usage & billing. We've been able to build our own solutions for some of these (in Superblocks!) and custom domain support is somewhat mitigated by the new embedding feature. For the remaining gaps we've found the product team to be receptive to our feedback and are looking forward to seeing future iterations.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tooling for live broadcast and IT operations, single pane of glass for project management and executive reporting, and administration consoles for software developers.

What do you like best about the product?

What I appreciate most about Superblocks is its intuitive design, making it easy for both developers and non-technical team members to collaborate effectively.

What do you dislike about the product?

One drawback is the limited customization options for advanced users who may require more intricate configurations. When an admin left, we had to reach out to support, even though they were very helpful and fast to reply.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use superblocks to align customer accounts access to SFDC data.
