What do you like best about Xano?

Put simply, I love how my team can focus on developing custom back-ends without worrying about DevOps.

Xano also offers fast and helpful customer support, and it has designed a flexible pricing structure that grows with your business. If you don't have a development background, starting is straightforward, and there's a wealth of tutorials to help you master back-end development. If you are coming from a development background, the language you can use and logic you can deploy will quickly feel familiar.

I also love how the team is dedicated to regularly updating their educational content and streamlining the development interface for a better user experience and overall faster way to develop yoru back-end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Xano's advanced features come at a higher cost, which might be more than what's needed for smaller projects. While the investment is generally worthwhile for the capabilities provided, the price jump to enterprise-level solutions is notable and could be a barrier for some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xano is solving the problem of lengthy and costly development cycles for us at Rarely Decaf by providing a platform that streamlines the creation of custom web applications.

What do you like best about Xano?

Xano is the quickest way to get a backend and database up and running. Launchig a new idea or project becomes a matter of hours instead of weeks with them. Xano also has great support for scale and security that gives me the confidence to continue using it to launch production products. Their support team is very helpful and responsive and they're continuously improving their product offering and features. I use Xano for all my projects and always recommend others to do the same. I also teach a course at a University and use Xano as a great starting point to help students understand databases, API's, and backends of platforms. Xano visualizes how this works in such a clear way, it greatly reduces the learning curve for understanding of my students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Like any low-code/no-code solution, you might loose some customization of your backend. However, Xano has been increasing their feature set exponentially and gives me full; confidence they're attempting to fill in every gap. Their realistically hasn't been a use case where I couldn't use them because of features they didn't have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xano is used to support the backend logic for my platforms. I've used Xano many times to bring production apps live and they have always been reliable and consistent. It's by far the easiest tool I've ever used to spin up a backend quickly and get an idea live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chris Coleman of Xano

Thank you so much for your kind words, Kevin! We're particularly touched to hear that you're using Xano to teach university students. Making these complex concepts more accessible aligns perfectly with our mission to democratize backend development, and your success in using our platform as a teaching tool is a testament to the intuitive nature we strive for - absolutely love this!

Your feedback about the inherent trade-offs in low-code/no-code solutions is definitely heard. We welcome any and all feedback on how we can improve; user suggestions are our number one source for determining platform improvements, and we never want you to feel limited in what you can do with your backend.

Thanks again for taking the time to write us such a thoughtful review!

What do you like best about Xano?

As the CTO of a start-up, I use Xano as the main backend for our application every day, and I must say that this tool has impressed me with its speed of implementation. The interface is intuitive and allows us to create our own endpoints and APIs without needing to code, which enables us to integrate with any tools. The flexibility it offers to integrate all business logic in no-code is a considerable time saver for us, especially compared to other tools like SupaBase. Xano allows us to focus on the essential aspects without having to worry about complex technical details.

Another very positive point is customer support. It is extremely responsive, even for us who are based in France. We receive responses within two to three hours on average, and that makes a real difference. The documentation is also very well provided, which allows us to manage on our own most of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

We encountered some technical challenges and limitations at the beginning, but over time, the tool became more and more comprehensive. All the limitations we encountered were corrected by regular updates, so today, we no longer have major issues. It is a tool that constantly improves, which is very appreciable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xano allows us to overcome DevOps issues. As a CTO, I don't need to manage a team dedicated to this part, which is a huge advantage. My team is composed solely of Product Builders, people who are closer to the business and less technical. This allows us to offer more creative solutions tailored to the real needs of our product, while maintaining a focus on innovation and high-value features.

Xano greatly simplifies backend development by allowing us to create APIs and endpoints without code. This saves us valuable time and reduces costs associated with setting up a complex infrastructure. It perfectly meets our need for flexibility while remaining accessible to people with little in-depth technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jacques Antikadjian of Xano

Thank you very much for your detailed and kind feedback! We are delighted to learn that Xano has become a valuable tool for your startup, simplifying the development of your backend and saving you time. It is a pleasure to know that our regular updates and customer support have had a positive impact on your experience, even across different time zones. We thank you for your trust in Xano and look forward to continuing to support your growth and success!

What do you like best about Xano?

What do you dislike about Xano?

if one wants toscale their backend its quite a bit expensive to payalmost arounf 2500 usd per year Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xano?

Xano is the quickest way to spin up an API, but at the same time there are deep capabilities to handle as much complexity as you need. Everything can be visually edited so there's no coding necessary. The fundamentals of the platform however are grounded in programming logic, so as a user progresses they're learning valuable logic that is useful everywhere. If you run into a situation where coding is preferred, Xano has built in escape hatches to utilize code as well.

There's no faster way for me to setup a Postgres database and API for a client, knowing that everything is built on industry best practices and enterprise grade infrastructure.

The support team and community at Xano is top notch and always there to help out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Integrating Xano into a traditional Git / code based workflow can still be challenging at times. While there is a version control system built into Xano, its quite limited on basic plans and can cause some frustration when pushing changes in a production environment.

What do you like best about Xano?

Xano is a platform that solves the biggest problems a provider like I am is having.

I am one of the founders of Deploy, a software development company based in Israel.

We mostly use no-code tools in order to create our clients their dream products.

Before xano, we had to use an outdated, quite slow and unreliable backend infrastructure that was mostly built by companies that do "a bit of everything " and that doesn't concentrate on backend only. That's why, sometimes, the speed and process was a mess and some of our clients were disappointed by it.

And then, we have discovered Xano, and our lives changed for good! Xano's no code backend builder helps us build good and reliable backend solutions for our customers, a backend we can trust and a backend so fast that the clients just have that WOW effect.

I can't stress enough about how Xano has been a huge lifesaver.

To sum up, Xano is the best no-code backend builder out there, and some would say, the best online backend builder.

I highly recommend using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Xano is great but it has it's learning curve. For those of you who are afraid of learning a new platform, it's ok.

Xano is not an easy platform to master but it is one that really worth learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xano solves the scalability issues that most of the "all in one" no code tools have.

Personally, I use xano for almost every project, it's fast, it's stable and the team is great.

10/10, really. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xano?

Xano has all the technical capabilitites I need in a sleek UI and inituitive UX. It makes even full stack/backend first timers feel confident and capable! In addition, what brought me to Xano in the first place was its integrations which work amazingly well. Lastly, its customer service with access to office hours 2x week has been incredibly helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Nothing! Serisouly nothing really comes to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to create a custom learning management system webapp that could be integrated into another partner website. We choose WeWeb as our frontend and Xano as our backend. We needed to develop it super quickly (< 8 weeks) and have limited tech experience. Xano made it possible with a great backend system and plugins for the frontend to make authentication and everything else I needed a lot easier + quicker! It was so simplified and streamlined that I was able to complete it without ever writing an API before this project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team is so helpful. They literally took me from knowing nothing about a no-code backend to being able to integrate a new ticketing partner. Additionally, the product is so customizable that it can perform any task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xano?

Xano is hands down the best no-code backend product ever! It has empowered someone like me, a non-coder, to create incredibly complex solutions within just a few days. It's really user-friendly and intuitive, and once you grasp its concepts, you can accomplish even the most intricate backend tasks imaginable. I'm thrilled about the possibilities that lie ahead with Xano, and I'm extremely grateful for how it has transformed my business and my life.

I want to extend a huge shoutout to Lesa from the Xano support team for her exceptional assistance. She not only helped me understand Xano functions but also went above and beyond by creating incredibly helpful Loom videos. Lesa, you're absolutely incredible!

What do you like best about Xano?

Our agency uses Xano on a daily basis and we are huge fans. Xano makes it really easy to set up scalable backends and connect those with various front end solutions. We mostly use the connection to Bubble.io and Weweb.com and the setup is done quickly. The builder itself is very intutive and you can set up database structures and api endoints in just a few minutes. Even with very complex endpoints and big database tables (1+ million recods) the peformance is outstanding. The team behind Xano is pushing updates very regulary and are doing a great job. Also had the pleasure to meet them in person at the NoCode Summit and they took plenty of time to answer all our questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

To be honest, there is nothing we`re missing right now. We only had a few support requests over years and the team was helping out very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a software agency we are developing various web-applications for our clients. We need to make sure, that peformance and security are always on a very good level. We chose Xano as our default backend solutions years ago. They provided a scalable, secure and reliable backend infrastructure for our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xano?

With more than 30 years of experience as a DB admin, i've seen many DB solutions and tools to manage them. With Xano, i found one of the best integration for db design, development and API system.

Because of its ease of use, ease of implementation and ease of integration, you don't need to be a DB admin to create and make performant app backends. This very same ease of use or the number of features don't lower its performances. And its DB management approach makes it fully understandable.

Moreover, they have an awesome Customer and Developer Support: always efficiently listening & reactive, providing solutions everytime you need. And last but not least, the community is amazing and very alive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Actually (as of Jan 2024), the thing that i lack the most on Xano, is a better Visual DB management tool plus few features to manage functions (copy/paste functions/function blocks between API Endpoints, ...) in function stack.

BUT, this comment will become quickly obsolete as you read it, due to their incredible fast rate to publish new releases and improve their editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Xano, i have a scalable backend infrastructure that handles my data AND all the business logic on a very performant DB engine. It allows to attach any frontend dev tool, depending on the platform (web, desktop, mobile, iOt, server-to-server, ...) without having to rewrite your business logic.

Their function stack is one that is the closest to a coding language, making it really turing-complete and allowing you to write complex & robust algorithms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
