Can’t say for all low code tools but if you consider ToolJet, you can build apps using drag and drop UI builder and doing customisation in UI. You really don’t need GPT once you get a hang on it. Ofcourse, experience can be further improved using GPT but that is not real value as of today. Compared to GPT powered traditional development, ToolJet’s approach is still faster.
IMHO, real value is when you can extend/customise ToolJet using custom code or database queries. And this is where GPT can help. We even have a inbuilt Copilot for these use cases.
Budibase’s workflow product has been around for a while and we are directly competing with each other. We have our own strengths but would be difficult to say if we or them are better at this stage.
Windmill is a great product too but it is totally pro-code and building workflow with it, one has to write a lot of code compared to ToolJet. Hence, ToolJet would be definitely faster here.
Windmill allows you to write code in any places but we have a hub augmented every day with pre-made integrations so that you do not have to: https://hub.windmill.dev. We also have native support for BigQuery, Snorflake, Mysql, GraphQL, with dedicated editors.
Hence, I fail to see how it would be any faster to build workflows in tooljet than in windmill. I do not have a business license of tooljet so I have not been able to do the comparison. Interested to hear feedbacks on that.
Our workflow engine and UX seems to be a lot more advanced from what I can see because we have been iterating on it for longer. Congrats on the launch though and may the best open-source alternative to Retool win.
I have not tried the product in depth but this comes from your website headline where it says “Turn scripts into .... “. But great to know you have inbuilt integrations now. Best of luck, may the best internal tooling platform wins.
If you do not know the product then maybe instead of saying that X is simpler/faster/better than Y it would be better/fairer to say "I don't know" or "from a look at their landing" ?
haha, not interested. Sometimes it is okay to bow out of an online conversation :)
Retool and ToolJet are building in the same problem space of internal tooling. Primary difference is that ToolJet is open source. And btw, we launched in March 2021.
Open source is nice. I actually find these types of tools useful in testing where you don’t have time to do a full automated suite but you need to compare data between systems
ToolJet is a full stack platform for building internal tools where automation is one part of it. We also support creating web applications and have a data store.
While make.com is focussed just on automation but for all kinds of use cases and not focussed on solving internal tooling problems for the companies.
However, process street does look focussed on building software for internal applications but it is more towards no-code spectrum which has its advantages but makes it less customisable. ToolJet, on the other hand is more customisable and developer friendly because of our low-code approach.
