I've recently worked with low/no code solutions from other manufacturers. Some of them have nice functionality in building drag-and-drop frontends. I hope that the next generation forms of Betty Blocks bring them up to that level. Combined with the strong back end, Betty Blocks will have one of the top offers. What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database. For example, it is difficult to make calculations like the total sales of customers over a specific period. Another issue is the reporting features, which are not as strong as they could be.

In my opinion with all platforms, you will have to make a consensus, because not every functionality will work for every client perfectly well. In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less. It's a better trade-off from Betty Blocks. Also, it's clear the no-code promise will surely decrease the flexibility that you will have. There are some back doors to solve that system. I would like to see full integration with AI. It can be integrated but it's not something that comes out of the box. You can't just switch on the machine learning in one of the components of the platform.
