Very easy to get a site going, reporting facilities are adequate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The API is beyond ridiculous. All fields have meaningless names like "field_1542" and "object_67". The API does not return the values you write into it. It is insanely slow, needing multithreaded requests just so you get above 2 updates per second. That is if your updates come through, because we're hitting "504 Server Error: Gateway Time-out for url" frequently. The technology looks like it's been put together by a student early in his career, and not a talented student at that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Knack provides a relational database integrated with an online form development environment. The pricing for Knack for a corporate non-profit is very reasonable and allows for enough development and production space as part of the package. The ability to integrate with my organization's identity management system is a must. Knack help is pretty responsive. I like that the company seems to be constantly innovating.

Would like a SQL tool that would allow for more robust queries. Would like some more flexibility around deleting parent views without deleting child views especially login screens. Would like some more flexibility around layout. Need more work with scheduling - the availability of blackout dates would be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy to use for background information on client background/ easy to keep digital forms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes we cant locate client profiles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Knack helps us create an app based on tables just like Microsoft access. Its easy to use and anyone can make an app instantly which can run on any device seamlessly. The most attractive part is they allow us to use custom codes and they do not charge based on app users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not come across anything which I could dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed one can create quite sophisticated databases including both data structure, input forms and simple reports. It takes just days not months. Clear pricing, not connected with number of users but just with database size. It is extremely easy to extend your database app with new data structures, forms and features.

Lack of any kind of development tools and app versioning system. Every modification you do on a live production platform, hence you must be extremely careful and be equipped with app backup if there is a need to step back with changes. Lack of logic functions based on text formulas. Lack of lookup function allowing to temporary connect data from different tables (objects). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup the database and interface. Lot's of native options like Address, Email, User Roles fields. Easy to customize with JavaScript and CSS. Great documentation and examples. Friendly staff. It's great that there is an annual conference too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support can be improved, specially the time to respond to support request. API security is also an area that requires more attention. Also, if the API would allow to change the app structure, like objects and pages, would be greatly beneficial. The speed on which the app loads sometimes goes slow, although it's not too often. If Knack would offer version control, that would help different developers work on the same app at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Decent interface in the builder, I have about 10 applications running and I can easily get into them and review and make changes. Also really can grow with more complex needs, I've been surprised how as the needs have become more complex Knack can deal with that and scale. It's very easy to spin something up and start collecting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes they make changes that break things! Support is very good, but I have customers who rely on the DB so if there is any downtime it has an impact. Must admit probably over the last 6 months they have got much better at this and uptime issues or service problems have been rare. I also wish the reporting was a bit more powerful. Better ad-hoc queries, charting and visualisation would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of creating the user interface is critical. When Users ask for functionality I can create it in seconds sometimes. Other times, it may require custom coding, but I can frequently build a short term work around. Additionally, without any database experience at all I was able to build an incredibly comprehensive and industry leading solution. We have abilities to connect data now that we have never had before and we are able to have new and valuable insights into our clients needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the built in rules or options can leave you wanting for more or different options. The system does not always respond the way you expect it to based on industry standards/past practices. They are improving every day though. Unfortunately, they are still understaffed and support suffers as a result. None of these issues have caused me to look elsewhere in the four years that I have been working with Knack, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've tried several web app database builders and Knack is by far the most powerful. Without any coding, we've built several apps that our team uses at our business, including an complex internal recipe and order management app, and an internal/external hiring app. These apps have withstood the test of time over several years of use. One great thing about Knack is that each of your app's users is counted simply as a record; you're not charged per user. So cost is never an issue when deciding whether employees receive accounts for our apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the next phase of Knack should include more features for notifications (especially for mobile) and pushing live data updates to user's pages without needing a refresh. Since they've already covered so may use cases for desktop and basic mobile webpages, these would open up possibilities for new types of tablet and mobile apps that users may want to create.

It gives me the flexibility to modify and make changes on the fly. I can build all sorts of apps to work with our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the graphics could be better on the front end. If you want to highlight a row based on one value, you have to select each column and set it up that way. Linking the objects is a little confusing. I would like to be able to select what fields I want to match in order to link a table but I guess it is not designed to do that.
