DreamFactory

What do you like best?

It has allowed us to create a single data layer that unifies all our underlying platforms. It does this elegantly, with consistent architecture, taking care of authentication and caching.

DreamFactory is itself an API, and this has allowed us to use the product not only for our own business, but also OEM'd as part of an on-premise solution we sell to our customers. We have found it easy to package and configure into portable Docker containers.

Although DreamFactory comes with its own database, we have deploiyed it to run on Postgresql, thus allowing it to fit into our backup and sysadmin processes.

What do you dislike?

There is currently nothing I dislike about DreamFactory. I cannot fault the platform in any way.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Dreamfactory has been a delight to work with, both as a company and as a product. I have asked some complex questions and always received timely and accurate responses.

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

We have numerous data sources across multiple platforms, OSs and protocols. Dreamfactory has allowed us to unify all these datasources into APIs that are easily accessible by our business applications.

Also, we are able to easily package it into a docker container and OEM it as part of a solution we provide to our own customers. It has saved us a ton of money on developing our own APIs and middleware layer.
