Alpha Software and Transform Have Taken Our Company to the Next Level!

PROS: The ability to quickly develop applications is tremendous, The robust report development part has been very useful and allowed us to mimic reports that have been very beneficial for our clients. The integration of Alpha's Transform product into our applications has truly been monumental in our field data collection process. The ability to rapidly develop, modify and implement field forms is very efficient and easy to produce. Adding calculations into the forms customized for different clients is a big plus that allows their field personnel to receive instant feedback as the move through the data collection process. Staying current with technology is one key factor in our use of Alpha Software for our business, both internal and external.

CONS: While this may not be for many users, knowing how to navigate through certain parts of Alpha and how to use different features may take a few hours of research, studying videos and some trial and error. Although that is the way many things are done part of me wishes everything was more automated and as easy as a lot of the development in Alpha. But it does continue to improve and the online instructions and blogs/message board are a good source of help.

application that has improved our NOI by about $50K/year.
What do you like best about Alpha Anywhere?
Learning curve for the desktop application was quick. Pricing was reasonable. User community was helpful.
What do you dislike about Alpha Anywhere?
Learning curve for the web-based application is more challenging.
Recommendations to others considering Alpha Anywhere?
Alpha Anywhere is a much more comprehensive product than the older Alpha Five offering. The good news is that it integrates with almost any SQL data base, but this means one must have at least a modest understanding of SQL. Furthermore, the development of UX's which display in a browser is more complicated than simply creating a form for a desktop application.
What problems is Alpha Anywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?
We eliminated the need for commercial apt. mgmt. systems that are more complicated, more expensive, and have less functionality. In addition, we have converted to mostly paperless documents and have automated our document management with intelligent document labeling. We use Alpha Software for an apt. mgmt.

Great Development Tool for SaaS Businesses

PROS: The product is a complete solution for web/mobile development. It can be a no code, low code, or code intensive solution depending upon your need. The support of the Alpha staff being reachable and adding to and enhancing the product to meet user demands is unlike any other product on the market.

CONS: The only thing that 'could work better' is the version control software integration. The product works with Git, SVN, etc.. but when you make a small change, there are many updates to the resulting file.

awesome app development
What do you like best about Alpha Anywhere?
Alpha Anywhere permits resident engineers and bad-to-the-bone designers alike to assemble work area, web and versatile applications utilizing one stage. Alpha takes criticism direct from engineers and consolidates that into future discharges, which is a pleasant change. The way that Alpha Anywhere can take you from start to finish in building up a total item is extremely pleasant, no compelling reason to utilize a huge amount of apparatuses to achieve something
What do you dislike about Alpha Anywhere?
The documentation has progressed significantly, yet with such a great amount to find, it is some of the time hard to discover the appropriate response you are searching for.
Recommendations to others considering Alpha Anywhere?
Useful for Rapid Application Development with incredible adaptability.
What problems is Alpha Anywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a business engineer and I create applications for business clients. My clients love the finished results. The are quick, appealing, dependable and utilitarian. They don't have a clue alpha's identity..." they simply realize that they like what they're utilizing.

Very Powerful and Efficient Web and Mobile Development Platform
What do you like best about Alpha Anywhere?
AlphaAnywhere provides a huge feature set, and makes using these features very easy and quick. The tool is constantly growing and providing more features. I also like that you can meet the development team at the annual DevCon, learn about the road map for the future, and get great insight into how the tool works and where it is headed.
What do you dislike about Alpha Anywhere?
The documentation has come a long way, but with so much to discover, it is sometimes hard to find the answer you are looking for.
Recommendations to others considering Alpha Anywhere?
This is a great product. If you are interested in developing web and/or mobile apps, contact them today and get started using this product.
What problems is Alpha Anywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started by solving some business problems, such as expense tracking, sales reports, etc..

Great and Fastest App Development App
What do you like best about Alpha Anywhere?
I have been using Alpha Software more than 1 years in various settings (from nonprofit to commercials). It requires very little knowledge to develop an app. The more you create DB apps, the better you get. The best part I like about alpha five is how interactive and less coding the development environment is.
What do you dislike about Alpha Anywhere?
The X-basic was more interaction. Sometime I ran into issue with the builtin PDF printer on windows 2012 server. It does not work correctly. Also, I wish the web app development was as simple as creating desktop app.
Recommendations to others considering Alpha Anywhere?
Good for Rapid Application Development with great flexibility.
What problems is Alpha Anywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us in lots of way. It provides a one stop solution and a great environment and tools for every aspect of desktop, web, mobile and SaaS application development in one complete package. It especially shines in mobile application offline support.

Comprehensive Mobile, Web and Desktop Application Platform that Works
What do you like best about Alpha Anywhere?
Alpha Anywhere allows citizen developers and hard core developers alike to build desktop, web and mobile applications using one platform. Alpha takes feeback direct from developers and incorporates that into future releases, which is a nice change. The fact that Alpha Anywhere can take you from beginning to end in developing a complete product is really nice, no need to use a ton of tools to accomplish something.
What do you dislike about Alpha Anywhere?
The help documentation could be enhanced, but it's being worked on actively.
Recommendations to others considering Alpha Anywhere?
Try the free 30 day trial and then signup!

Powerful, Flexible Mobile and Web Application Database Development Environment
What do you like best about Alpha Anywhere?
Alpha Anywhere includes the tools to allow a developer to get work done easily whether it involves Server code, NodeJS, Javascript, HTML, or CSS. They're all tied together and Alpha allows one area to communicate easily with another. But the best part is that Alpha doesn't get in your way. Certainly... use the tools, the wizards, the builders to jump start a component or project... and then Alpha allows a developer to dig in start working deep within the environment. PhoneGap Build, Web Services, Server Callbacks, Alpha Web Server, IIS, Full Security, Pre-Rendered Components for Mobile, Disconnected / Offline Services... it's all available. Response from the Alpha Development Team is the best I've ever seen in over 40 years of working with many environments.
What do you dislike about Alpha Anywhere?
Documentation has been an issue in the past, but has been addressed with a new online Documentation Server. Alpha is very attentive to Documentation requests where end user developers will suggest enhancements for the documentation and it's now there within days. Some features, like the FormView Control, seem very complex and maintaining a working knowledge over time is tough.
Recommendations to others considering Alpha Anywhere?
Follow the many, many excellent Tutorials.
What problems is Alpha Anywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?
Utilize the pre-designed Template Components to learn basic concepts.

THE Development Platform for Web and Mobile
What do you like best about Alpha Anywhere?
I love the flexibility: Alpha allows for almost any SQL-Based back-end database tables/views (SQL Server, MySQl, MS Access, Oracle, etc). That made my transition from Access much faster. Also, it's great that single platform can be used to deploy applications in the web or in a client/server desktop environment. OR, you can develop applications specifically for a mobile device (smartphone or tablet).
What do you dislike about Alpha Anywhere?
I wish there were better documentation. The Message Board forum is GREAT and their newly designed documentation website is an improvement... BUT, I'd love it if they had an experts "hotline" where I could get expert guidance, when I get stuck.
Recommendations to others considering Alpha Anywhere?
First, a confession: I'm a former MS Access developer (please don't judge me!). I converted to Access from DOS-based dBase IV.
