Betty Blocks Valuable Features

Hans De Groot - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner/Operator at Informatieewerkplaats

Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better.

The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it.
The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

All these platforms have different areas, you have an integration layer, you have the forms and you have the back-up. 

I think the sense of Betty is that they perform, having all of those elements pretty well, and I think that the most crucial one is the front apps. 

To have an application look good with something that more or less comes out of a box, that is quite complicated.

If you look at Pega, they are very strong in integrating new technologies such as AI in-depth.

Betty Blocks is sitting within the Microsoft Azure environment.

All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market.
