G2 states that low-code development platforms “provide an environment for developing applications and building new processes with automated workflows, all with minimal coding. These platforms enable rapid application development by minimizing the need for extensive coding experience and streamlining the development process.” Additionally, many low-code development platforms give organizations a clear path to digital transformation through business process creation and management. 

According to G2, to qualify as a low-code development platform, a platform must:

  • Generate source code as a base for customization,
  • Allow developers to customize HTML markup and source code as a primary function, and
  • Integrate with databases, web services, or APIs to connect to data.

When evaluating a low-code development platform, G2 recommends starting with a large pool of vendors and clearly defining one’s use cases to narrow down the options. This allows IT teams to apply further considerations for pricing, ease of integration with other systems, and security requirements, among others. This holistic approach enables buyers to make informed decisions with a focused checklist.
