Hi,
I tried to evaluate few IDEs because I need to develop a functional prototype for a multitenant marketplace. I evaluated DaDaBIK, AppGini, DbFront, VFront, dbQuikSite, PHPMaker, PHPRunner and so on. Finally my choise was PHPRunner. Your DaDaBIK enterprise version ($ 190 ) is not so rich in functionalities like is the PHPRunner profesional version ($ 499) even if DaDaBIK is more simple, more intuitive and more cheap.
Anyway DaDaBIK have a unique advantage over those IDEs: it can create apps on the web browser by the persons that are not programmers !
I think that NuBuilder is the only your competitor in this area. If you read this paper Force.com multitenant apps you can see that the main challenge of a multitenant app is the need to personalize the apps to meet the need of each customer/tenant. For that goal the provider need an app (somehow like DaDaBIK) that can be easy used by each customer/tenant (in a web browser) to personalize his app.
Maybe you can explore this area !
In this case you can create a multi tenant (or even single tenant) database structure for a complex app that can include CRM/Shop/Helpdesk/Employees/News/Forum and so on and your customers can personalize this app (or only a segment from it) for his needs.
I liked DaDaBIK but wasn't enough for my needs. Maybe in the future I will use DaDaBIK in other project.
Those words was only my ideea about the DaDaBIK and maybe you don't need such comments, anyway I wish for you and for your customers a happy new year !
Best regards,
Sorin M.
