Knack Pros and Cons

Ease of use, drag and drop builder, record history, scalable, enterprise plans available for bigger use cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a few features missing from the solution such as object grouping, internal access to record IDs, etc. However, none of these impact most use cases for Knack and would only come into the equation for more complicated use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very afordabble and friendly user solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not possible to have a personnal adress like ... www.mybusiness.com Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The builder interface is easy to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing comes to mind. It is a great product and it keeps getting better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick to build on with a very good no-code UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Terrible reliability and support.

Regular system failures (API 504 timeouts) which are invariably attributed to "other apps" on the same server taking up all server resources.

This has been going on for years. In every case, we detect failure before Knack does, and it takes hours or even days to resolve. The only solution they offer is to spend ~10x more on a "private server" so we won't suffer from the fundamental flaws in their multi-tenant architecture. STAY AWAY.

Knack is a fantastic way to build your own custom database and front-end web interface. The price sure beats having a developer custom design a database and the features are robust (much better than Caspio and other alternatives!). It's easy to use and very intuitive to build both database tables and front-end pages populated from your tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike about Knack. Still, if I were to mention something, it would be their limited formulas for populating a column dynamically based on existing data in other columns. I hope they add more functions in the future like IF and CONCATENATE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the no-code/low-code environment that Knack provides the developer, giving the capability to create an online e-commerce "store" of data. Had we known about Knack one year ago, I could have saved $3,500 in custom code developer costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there should be more video tutorials that demonstrate to the prospective new buyer, whether Knack will be something that they try to learn and implement on their own, or whether the Expert Network will be the better solution. Also, I wish that Knack had some business-hours telephone support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is very reasonable, setting up, using, and managing the software is reasonably easy. Extra points for the ability to set up a nice interface for users with different classes and permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using calendars, each appointment counts as a record, which can add up pretty fast. Customization could be pushed further, especially for alignment and text formatting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Knack is one of the best no-code DB out in the market. The UI is intuitive and I find coding very boring sometimes, Knack came to the rescue. You can customize the UI as per your specifications without involving your boring IT team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot of options to reach the customer support over chat or call. Just email. Hit send and wait for few hours till they respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Knack is an incredibly fast, powerful, flexible, and reliable tool that has completely transformed the way we run our small business of approx 40 employees. We built one central system on knack to manage all our data and operational processes (company-wide) in one spot online. The transparency, efficiency, and ease of use has been a game changer for us, and I honestly don't know how we would operate without knack at this point. You don't need to be a coder or super techie to understand and use knack, it is very intuitive and well designed, and super adaptable to most scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every now and then I will run into a small limitation or want to customizing something that I can't. Overall, the functionality covers the bases for what I need to do the majority of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The idea of designing a platform of attendance/note taking. It is straight-forward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel the apperance could be better. The flow is there but looks, not really. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
