"Good solution for low/no code database work"
4/5
What do you like best about Knack?

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.

What do you dislike about Knack?

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.

"Don't bet your company on it"
0/5
What do you like best about Knack?

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

What do you dislike about Knack?

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.

"Amazing Database Software for Small Companies"
5/5
What do you like best about Knack?

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.

What do you dislike about Knack?

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.

"Reasonably-priced database server for start-ups"
5/5
What do you like best about Knack?

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.

What do you dislike about Knack?

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.
