The articles claim that low-code software improves development speed (which is true) at the expense of customization and flexibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be fair, some low-code tools DO have this drawback. But, all low-code tools are different. Some create websites. Some create basic web applications. Others are built for enterprise applications. Some offer customization. Others do not.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Placing all low-code tools in one big category is like saying that cars, bikes, and rollerskates are equal because they&#8217;re all &#8216;modes of transportation.&#8217; While true, they&#8217;re very different things. The same is true for low-code tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality: Some enterprise-level tools offer unlimited customization&#8211;even down to the code level. When you get into the enterprise-level low-code tools, you\u2019ll find that customization is critically important. Why? Here are a few reasons. The amount of customization available in the tool determines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How well the tool fits your business needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The amount of limitations you run into over time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether or not you get locked into the tool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What customization features should any enterprise low-code platform provide? We created a video on this topic that covers 6 different customization features to look for, and explains why each is important. You can find it here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Low-code + customization: 6 features you need\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WssX0Wy3O0w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more, or see a customizable low-code platform in action?
