Initially Thinkwise positioned itself as replacement for 4GL RAD environments, today the same product is positioned as Low Code platform. The Thinkwise Software Factory generates applications that can only be run in a Thinkwise client environment, hence every investment done in your applications will gone once you stop paying license & maintenance fees. Since this solution is not as widely used as for example Mendix or Outsystems resources with knowledge are hard to find. You will need to invest in Thinkwise consultants or training of your own staff which has a steep learning curve.

Performance of Thinkwise Platform Across Market Features

Thinkwise Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

It hits the sweet spot between the ability to manage complex information structures with strong integration capabilities, while the development learning curve isn't as high as other tools which allow similarly complex information structures.

Like

It is fast to use for simple straight forward applications on existing database scheme's.

Like

What I like most is how it simplifies complex dev tasks while still offering deeep customisation. Strong integration, User-Friendly and Scalable!

Dislike

The application is based on relational models, not structures. The trajectory to reach agreement on trial & implementation took longer than necessary.

Dislike

The application logic is stored very fragmented and uses database triggers for lots of the logic. When applications get complex this can become a bottleneck for performance. Most problematic is the vendor lock in and development cost. Down the line there is a good chance that you are financially better of with one-off development cost or buying an off the shelf product.

Dislike

learning curve, initial setup and custom dev requirements arise quickly base d on the business logic
