Generating the UI, even with multiple levels of nested collections is simple but very powerful. Deployment of updates can be previewed in test mode and confidently applied to production. Extensions in Java are powerful and straightforward. The system easily supports over one hundred objects/entities with excellent performance. > > **Cons**: Earlier versions did not support having multiple developers working on the same project. That weakness has been corrected in more recent versions. > > When I have demonstrated the applications I developed with AwareIM, on at least 3 occasions, I have been asked how large a team I managed to build the solution. When I explained that I built them myself and how quickly with AwareIM, they were dumbfounded. I can delegate or complete any part of a system myself. ----- ### "One of the best" — 5.0/5 > **István** | *28 August 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can create web applications very quickly. It is very logical to use, so you can quickly learn how to use the software. > > **Cons**: There are still some minor bugs, but overall they are not that annoying. > > In my opinion, this is an excellent RAD software with a good price/performance ratio. ----- ### "Ease to use, and good value tool." — 3.0/5 > **Julio** | *12 June 2018* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool has quite a lot of features, it also one of the cheapest on the market. UI produced is elegant and customizable. > > **Cons**: The new IDE needs work, some of the features are hidden in the menus. It also needs work on security aspects. ----- ### "PT AwareIM review" — 4.0/5 > **Paul** | *27 August 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good product for those not fluent in computer coding > > **Cons**: Some areas have a lack of instructions and there's a large reliance on the very good forum chat. ----- ### "Ingenious and Innovative RAD concept." — 5.0/5 > **David** | *15 June 2016* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: You work with objects, not tables. When U create an object and define its attributes, Aware creates a database table accordingly with each attribute of the object being a field in the table. You then create different forms/layouts for each object, including or excluding attributes as required subject to the scenario in which the form will be used. Add, modify or delete an attribute of an object and Aware automatically makes the necessary changes to the structure of its database table. To create a Parent-Child (Master-Detail) relationship you do not have to get embroiled in join statements or defining key fields, or making sure the child database table has a field for, and child records contain a value in that field which is, the identifier of the parent, etc., so the two tables can later be joined togther by you when you write sql statements all throughout your applications. INSTEAD, for the object which is to be the parent you simply add an attribute and select the type of that attribute as being the object that you want to be its child. Then you tick a checkbox to indicate whether multiple instances of that attribute are allowed (think order line items) and another setting to indicate whether the parent object exclusively owns the object represented by the attribute, and you're done. Thereafter, behind the scenes Aware maintains the relationship you defined between the objects via creating the attribute and selecting and ticking settings. > > **Cons**: Could do with a drag and drop WYSIWYG form designer which would speed up development further. The runtime UI behavior of a couple of components/controls is slightly 'irregular', though not an impediment. > > I doubt there is a RAD tool available today which is as 'rapid' in developing apps as is AwareIM AND which can develop as sophisticated apps as can AwareIM. A good way to convey the concept of application development in the context of AwareIM is the following analogy: 1. the UI components/controls in an application are like musical instruments 2. the code which is already built/inherent in components which directly contols/manipulates their behavior or appearance when a property setting is changed or method is invoked by script you write, is like members of an orchestra who play the instruments eg. if during runtime application script changes the visible property of a component to false, the component disappears. you didn't write the script to make it disappear. the component already has script inbuilt to make it disappear when the script of your application changed the visible property. this inbuilt script is like band members of an orchestra who are directly playing the instruments 3. the script (Javascript, C++, etc.) you would ordinarily write to develop an application (ie. string the components together such they interface/interact with each other and behave in a certain way as to create a working application) is like the conductor of the orchestra who conducts the members of the orchestra to play their instruments in such a way that the outcome is a harmonious symphony Aware is like the conductor, and it makes you the 'conductor of the conductor'. Conductor of the Conductor: YOU simply enable (or not) settings which effectively instruct (conduct) the conductor how to conduct the members of the orchestra so as to play your symphony (application). No Coding required. Conductor: Aware understands/speaks the language (Java/JS) of members of the orchestra and thus how to conduct them. It translates your instructions (communicated to it via settings you enabled (or not)) into the language members of the orchestra understand and conducts them accordingly. In summary: You Configure not Code your application. The data model structure/way in which Aware handles data relationships (parent-child) is excellent. There's no frigging around creating database tables, defining their fields, field types, etc., and then having to go back and add fields to forms and views, or change their names/bindings, etc. Basically, you don't have to do anything hands-on 'database table' related. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/219076/aware-im?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/219076/aware-im) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
