WaveMaker is being used now for mobile development. I have used the free version since 2010, for building websites. I recommend it, it is a solid choice, and has very good technical support, with solutions and workarounds if needed, they answer your issues in 24 hours. I am satisfied with the overall service and tool.

Web site integration. I have integrated into published WaveMaker applications, several technologies, parts from other websites, all in one place, with success.
Multiplatform solution.

I believe that for this case, is important the technical support, which solves you or give workarounds that work for your issues. It answers in 24 hours, in labour days.

WaveMaker is an amazing platform to build the applications quickly with very little effort and resources. The best thing about WaveMaker is its integrations, open source standards, and flexibility. You can export the code and work on other IDEs as well. WaveMaker is easy to learn; anyone with limited coding knowledge can get started very easily. The templates can be reused, which will save a lot of time. WaveMaker's support team is really helpful and they always go the extra mile to help and solve problems.
Pros
The UI is easy to understand and to work on.
Integration of data services is easy.
Third party plugins are not really needed.
Amazing Support team.
No lock-in and you can move away from the platform anytime with the code.
Cons
There is really not much to dislike about WaveMaker, but if there is something, I would like offline support(this is not available), since it is a cloud-based platform.

WaveMaker is an amazing tool to work with. WaveMaker makes everything easy, whether it is setting roles, security, permissions, changing themes, you name it, WaveMaker has that. To work with WaveMaker and create great business applications, you need not be an expert in coding, because WaveMaker helps you with many prefabs. All you need to do is drag and drop required widgets to create a functioning application. The best thing about WaveMaker is that you can export your code and deploy it to any server of your choice. I also want to specially mention their support team, which helped us build the desired application in a very short amount of time. WaveMaker had helped us save a lot of cost and time on building applications because the price of the subscription is very low compared to other platforms.
Pros
WaveMaker has helped us create internal applications in very short amount of time at a very low cost.
The interface is really clean and it is easy to understand, you need not be an expert coder to work on WaveMaker.
You can download your developed application and deploy it on any server you wish. There is no lock in whatsoever.
The support team is super supportive and they are genuinely interested in solving your problems.
WaveMaker helps you develop web and hybrid applications simultaneously, so you will be saving a lot of time and effort.
WaveMaker is constantly upgrading and the team makes sure that they inform the users about the upgrades.
Cons
There is absolutely nothing that can go wrong with the kind of price WaveMaker offers, their trial experience is great and their support is exceptional.
There is a learning curve involved and personally I do not feel that this is a negative because WaveMaker helps you to create business grade applications, but there will be users who might find it difficult to catch up on some features. However, with an exceptional support team these things can be managed.
WaveMaker has really good documentation but sometimes that becomes exhaustive because there are a lot of things that are covered.
Likelihood to Recommend
WaveMaker is really suited in places which require custom applications and where there are limited resources available. This really powerful platform can be integrated into any team or department because it is so easy to work with and the applications are really good.
