Prós e Contras de Knack

No User Limits - Most database softwares count customers as users. So if you build a customer dashboard, where each customer has to register can get really crazy. This is one of the reasons we first started using knack because we can have 10,000 customers access their accounts and it's still the same low price.

Build complex databases with very little code knowledge - Every business is a little different, but organizing your business and creating processes around different stages is super easy. If you connect it into something like Integromat, you can sync informations across all your systems and have lots of complex triggers. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Knack requires some getting used to to build stuff. It's very rigid in how to associate data, so you need to do a lot of work arounds to do some tricky things. Almost anything can be done, but it is not always intuitive on how to do it.

As objects get larger with lots of fields, latency errors start to occur within the api causing lots of errors.

Update 1 year later: Weve continued to work wtih knack and build other applications. However, the 503 Upstream errors has made me change my mind about recommending it to others. We are using Integromat to move data between softwares and into knack. As we've built out our applications and added functionality the upstream errors have become unbearable. On one day this year we had over 100 upstream errors. We have tasked an employee to review and resolve these errors but you can imagine that doing that across 100+ scenarios would take up almost their entire day.

The purpose of building an app is grow it in functionality as your business grows. If Knack is your primary database, you will no doubt at some point need to manipulate the data or add records from outside resources. If this is your intent, then I would else where.

I've looked at many online database providers, and I kept coming back to Knack because of the ability to have as many users as I want without any associated costs. My app has hundreds of users, and it costs me nothing. Every other database solution I evaluated charged per user. I also like the ease of use. I don't have to manage the API or the security of the system. Knack handles that, which frees my time. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

I don't like that you can't see the internal IDs and foreign keys. Knack handles that b ehind the scenes, but it would be better if you could at least see them. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

I needed a database for the company I am working with to communicate site updates between office and site personnel. I enjoyed the ease of creating a live database from scratch. Without coding (or any knowledge of coding languages). Just had to spend a couple of minutes surfing around the tutorials and here we go, had a completely working database up and running. It is compatible with most phones, iPads, and computers. So I did not worry about compatibility. Most of the functions I required and the pages I needed were straight forward. The help section and tutorials are amazing. You can create forms that send auto emails to your users or your clients. You can also set up tracking so you can track what your users do. And the best thing is, you have a backup of your database every single day. I messed up some data records in a day but was reversed by Knack support team and everything came back to normal. I am absolutely satisfied with Knack. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

When you want to add a feature, usually it takes some time till Knack Team can develop it. Otherwise you have to use a professional developer, which is sometimes expensive. Also some CSS tools are not available, like changing colors or shapes of buttons, etc. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Knack offers a great variety of webnairs that demo which is super useful. It is nice to have access to all inclusive data. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

I dislike being logged out from the site occasionally. For a multi tasker like myself, I am going back forth from multiple windows. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Flexibility with API to do almost anything. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Unusably slow about two days every quarter; in the morning, the app is unusable, but its 24-hour support, so employees spend the entire business day down. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

It was easy to create forms, but it did not work overall. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Pulling reports was nearly impossible. It was difficult to configure for multiple users. The salesperson before we created a paid account with Knack misled us about what was possible with the program. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

The fact that nearly anyone can use it to make what they actually want is very useful. It works on both normal PC desktop and mobile devices allows for flexibility. They offer a couple weeks free to try and test out the product to ensure it is right for your group. Also the fact when you speak to people they are really in America is becoming more and more important to our group when looking for vendors. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

We have noticed that at times it will knock us out of work and after testing and review we think it's because we have multiple tabs open working on things at the same time. Other than that not too much negative to think of here. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Acho que o Knack for Business precisa de uma atualização em sua interface. Um sistema de CRM também deve ser fácil de navegar e entender. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

We really like how Knack lets us completely tell the marketing team what we want created so it takes away the back and forth and makes it easy for everyone to understand the mission at hand. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

There is nothing we dislike. I guess maybe the only thing that can be changed would be the ability to have a dashboard and see what you have Knacked previously. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
