"Full features, Good Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Knock?

Knock is a designed notification service built with developers in mind. It provides all the necessary features required for a notification system, making it easy to integrate and manage notifications across multiple channels. The platform stands out for its flexibility, allowing developers to customize workflows, templates, and delivery preferences with ease. Additionally, Knock’s support is good enough. They offer a Slack workspace for real-time assistance and are highly responsive to emails, ensuring quick resolutions to any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knock?

Debugging tools could be more advanced, making it easier to trace and troubleshoot notification flows. For larger teams, more ACL options would be beneficial to better manage permissions. Additionally, occasional minor changes, such as updates to Liquid logic, are made without sufficient awareness, which can cause unexpected issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As a young company, Knock already creates significant value for us as a customer."
4/5
What do you like best about Knock?

- The existing core features work reliably out of the box

- The entire team (that we've interacted with), including customer support, is very open, collaboratively minded and quick to respond

- Initial prototyping is fast and easy, allowing us to get features out of the door quickly

- Integrations with our service and other external services (e.g. June, Mailgun) could not be easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knock?

- As with any young company, you will encounter use cases or parts of the product that are a bit rough around the edges. However, the team acts quickly on corresponding requests

- The reliance on low-code tooling for designing notification workflows makes it easy to get started, but comes with scaling pains at some point (this is not Knock-specific, any low-code tool runs into this eventually). There are workarounds to deal with this programmatically, but not yet as a polished part of the product.

- The provided Python SDK is bare-bones, e.g. it comes without typing and wrappers for expected errors. We had to build our own representation of Knock typing to remedy this. This might (!) apply to other SDKs as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quickest notification service integration ever"
5/5
What do you like best about Knock?

Typical notification services only provide for the backend. However, Knock gives you ready to integrate React components that eases implementation by a significant time. Bundled with this, managing the content of your notifications within Knock along with a git like commit strategy is a first for me. Promotion of changes to staging and production makes release process a breeze.

Also, they had setup a slack channel for us and the support there was amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knock?

Apart from some bugs in the UI and certain quirks around changes made to messages reflecting in an environment, it is pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
