Budibase vs. ELMA365

Even though its a solid tool I think for now it is best suited to create some relatively complex apps but not best suited to build very complex apps where you need to manipulate data during runtime. But they are actively developing the produt and push updates on the regular basis which makes me feel optimistic about their future.

I would recommend ELMA365 to all small to medium-sized businesses who want to automate their processes and therefore increase transparency and manageability.

• Can connect REST APIs
• Can define User Roles
• Open Source so you can host it yourself if you prefer
• They have a component called reapeater field which is extreamly useful in cases you want to iterate UI component on you table

• It is a great deal in terms of price-quality ratio. We have the option to promptly create applications without detailed formalization of requirements.
• With Typescript scenarios, the system is rather flexible and provides tools to implement complicated business logic.
• They have very client-oriented support. Every time we face a problem they are ready to help.
• Easy to start using the system for both analysts and users.

• Building UI even though simple, it gets tougher when you want to build a complex one. The way they have implemented data sources in the UI is bit rigid.
• you can not use JS in all the components to manipulate data which makes it less dynamic compared to say AppSmith.

• no request is missed
• you can see the approval status at any moment
• you only need your browser in order to work

They have a free trial. Took 5 minutes for me to set up my own pages in the system. So if you are considering it, give it a try and see if it works for you.

• made building internal tool easy
• saved good number of man hours compared to building tools from scratch

• Time for processing sick leave has been reduced from 1 week to 2 days
• All the employees communicate quickly with each other online
