  • Parabola's partnerships with high-profile companies like Flexport, Sonos, and Uber Freight validate its market relevance and potential for widespread adoption.
  • The introduction of new features like Table Views and Facebook Ads Integration demonstrates Parabola's commitment to continuous innovation and addressing user needs.

What critics are saying

  • The competitive landscape for no-code and low-code platforms is crowded, requiring Parabola to continuously innovate to maintain its edge.
