Scriptcase

What do you like best?

The templates are so useful to get a basic structure up and running in a very short time. The user interface is fairly intuitive and the customisation features are extremely powerful. Another thing that's really great is that you can deploy to any web platform that supports PHP (which is most of them these days) and you don't need any runtime licences.

What do you dislike?

The documentation can be a bit lacking, it says what everything is, but not always what it's used for or how it integrates with other parts of the system. I've also come across a few bugs in the system, but they have been fixed fairly quickly in subsequent releases. Some features are not very intuitive and unless you follow the various training videos available on the website many people will get completely lost.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Try it, there's a free trial period so make use of it and check it out for yourself. You'll probably need the trial period to really get your head around what it can do for you.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Developing web-based custom solutions for data-driven web sites. It's really fast to develop in and provides a good, clean user interface.I used it to create bespoke invoicing systems, CRM, a bespoke asset management database and am currently working on an installation booking system.
