    Initial impression is a 10. I was able to create a function skeleton of my app project within a few hours and virtually no trainig/study. I'll update this review as I learn and develop.

    WaveMaker is a great platform for enterprise and SME's because it can save a lot on resources and time. The price is very low compared to the other competitors of WaveMaker and the best thing about WaveMaker is its no lock-in policy, you can always download the code and work on other IDEs. Overall an amazing platform.

    There were instances where we had specific requests and the support team was really helpful because they were really concerned about getting me a solution.

    Reviewed and tried; PHPRunner, PHPMaker, PHP Generator for MySQL, scriptcase, and AppGini. My selection of PHPRunner does not imply anything negative about the listed programs. I was able to create a functioning skeleton app with PHPRunner that I was not able to create with any of the others. I did not want an online subscription-based product.
