DreamFactory 사용 후기 및 리뷰

Great platform, well done!

주석: Overall a great product that will assist you to speed up your development process!

장점:

Great Security and very complete and user friendly documentation. Example apps get your going quick!

단점:

I cant think of anything not to like. In the beginning it might be a little overwhelming, but once you have read the documentation and looked at the samples apps, you on your way.

Expose your database with an API

주석: We implemented Dreamfactory to integrate Salesforce with an ERP software that didn't have an API, constrained by a limited budget which didn't allow us to go for a more complex middleware. The solution allowed us to quickly send and retrieve records from the ERP, and run processes using SQL stored procedures which gave us a bit of a headache at the beginning because of lack of full support.

장점:

Authentication and API is out-of-the-box The free version includes many features It saves a lot of time if you just want to use the basic REST API features

단점:

Upgrading to a new version can be a massive pain Debugging problems is very difficult if not impossible sometimes Stored procedures are not fully supported The API options to query a database are not as powerful as the options a SQL language provides

Useful but hard to use

장점:

I liked the concept of the product. And it is good at what it does.

단점:

1. Nested Object filter for database tables apis is hard. more often we had to write custom code to implement. 2. Alternate authentication setup is hard. we tried adding alternate authentication and failed, Also connected with customer support and still failed to add customer authencation. 3. Installation steps do fail to setup it smoothly i got into a lot of issues even after following exact steps for installation on ubuntu16

Good at what it does, not so good at what it doesnt do.

주석: It did what we needed for a time, and I cant fault it for that.
For some other software we use, that this has integrated well with, we will keep using it.
However, for current development, and anything we expect to be high load, we have moved away in favor of developing our own API.

장점:

The software is relatively comprehensive, with very granular access and control to many different parts of your system. Quite easy to setup an API, and expand it once setup. Lots of support both from their technical team and also integration with other companies using this platform for their system.

단점:

It is very CPU intensive, I have built a bespoke API to run side by side this one, using the same DB, SPs, Server infrastructure but different technology for the API. The difference in the resources required is substantial, which means we are moving our more intensive systems away from this. It is also a quirky system, having to reset the cache when you alter the DB, with a learning curve to get your way around the system.

Dreamfactory API Use

주석: It allowed us to quickly develop a API for use for one of our sites, giving us better visibility of everything going on, and at different levels of operation.

장점:

Was easy to setup, and is quick to increase the functionality of the API. Has a very understandable Roles and services, which allows for great control on what people can do. Also had a few sessions with some of the team, and they are very knowledgeable and supportive.

단점:

It was easy to expand the system with clones (for example, a dev, stage, production, client specific access). Once you setup all the roles and services for one account, you couldn't easily clone this but pointing to different credentials. Only work around I found was doing it all the DB, but you would have to figure out what means what, as everything is stored as IDs, so not easy to understand.

Does the job, easy to use

장점:

Easy to use Straightforward integration to SQL backends Simple UI Post / Pre Processing Features

단점:

Limitations on SQL features via API (e.g; multiple filters)

My view on dreamfactory

주석: Making my work simple and user friendly.
good customer support

장점:

I'm using dreamfactory for past 6 months, actually its one of the most simple and user friendly software package i have used so far. If I got some doubt will contact customer care and they will respond immediately. Re-usability of API services makes my work much simple.

단점:

I'm using latest version of dreamfactory, I tried creating services on Python, its not supporting. So I'm using node to create my services.

Very helpful tool for Project Management

장점:

Building the documents and sharing them with Team and Business is very easy. Able to track the Project status.

단점:

Compulsory training needed in order to use the tool. Especially for Business and also for the teams to get used with the tool

DreamFactory is like Ruby on Rails for APIs

주석: Their support team is excellent! We had some difficulties connecting less common databases and they helped us navigate a solution in an amazing time. Thank you!

장점:

DreamFactory is the definition of convention over configuration! It has a great user format that allows us to build and streamline our APIs in a simple and rapid method without coding. I honestly couldn't imagine building APIs without DreamFactory in the future.

단점:

When we first started using DreamFactory, I was frustrated with its short time to live, but we were quickly able to change a setting that extended the session time - I think we'll be using DreamFactory for many years to come.

Great API Management Software

주석: This was the first free software for API Management that I loved. It met my needs as a App Developer. Keep up the good work!

장점:

Very easy to link to your database and to setup your API endpoints. Software does a good job explaining what each endpoint can receive and information shown.

단점:

Free version doesn't include e-mail, phone or chat support.

Excellent Snapshot feature

주석: Creating Snapshot for migrating the components easily to all environments. Components can be exported easily through the package.

DreamTeam Project Management

주석: good one
