Ninox Reviews & Product Details

Ninox is wonderfully intuitive and visual. I’m a graphic designer, not a database engineer, and I stumbled on Ninox by accident in 2021 and haven’t looked back since. It let me build exactly what I need without hiring experts: a single workspace for my service offers, print materials, customers, freelancers, printers, plus a complete invoicing and accounting setup. The help desk has been consistently patient and genuinely helpful whenever I’ve had questions.

Before Ninox I tried Microsoft Access (plus two or three extra programs) to stitch my workflow together. It never felt intuitive, and I couldn’t get everything into one database without outside help. Ninox replaced that patchwork with a single, flexible system I can actually maintain myself. The result: less time wrestling with tools, more time designing and a clearer view of my studio’s operations, from project intake to invoicing.

Bottom line:

If you want a powerful database that feels approachable and looks clean, Ninox delivers. It’s the rare platform that lets non-developers build real business workflows without the usual headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manual backups are locked to a higher tier. If you want that feature, you’ll need the plan that’s €22 + VAT per license/month (billed annually) instead of the starter at €11 + VAT per license/month (billed annually). It’s not a dealbreaker for me, but it’s worth knowing up front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating large data collections with this product is remarkably straightforward. All the information you need is always accessible, easy to analyze, and the interface offers a level of clarity and modularity that I haven't found in any other similar product. Gone are the days of managing countless Excel spreadsheets buried in endless folders or struggling to locate them quickly. I genuinely enjoy using NINOX and have started to apply it not only in my professional work but also for personal projects, such as managing a club or organizing my own book collection.

You really have to rethink your approach! The formulas and processes you've relied on for years with everyday programs won't help you here. Is that a bad thing? Actually, it's quite the opposite. This software challenges you to come up with your own creative solutions, since there isn't a ready-made template for every task. However, this also gives you the chance to design your own ideal template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have more options to modify the user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started with Ninox in 2017 looking for a database that I could easily use from my iPad. Little by little I learned, mainly thanks to the forum, since at that time the first manual was quite simple.

What I highlight the most is the ease of creating relationships between tables and building a data model as powerful as you want. Additionally, the graphical interface is designed intuitively: just drag on the screen to create a powerful and personalized experience.

I also greatly value the ease of integration with other tools: in my case, I mainly use Make, which gives me great power to perform automations. Added to this is the speed of implementation, even in complex projects, and the good customer service, always willing to help when any doubt arises.

Since then, I have used it continuously because it combines exactly what I was looking for: power and simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I miss a more comprehensive official manual that explains in detail how to harness the power of scripts and the use of HTML, for example, to design dashboards. It would also be very beneficial to strengthen the Spanish-speaking community, as most resources are in English or German. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ninox is, at first, a very user-friendly low-code database that allows users to achieve quick results, even without traditional database knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ninox still fails to present the software’s features in a way that is accessible to non-experts. Additionally, working with scripts remains too complex for many users without professional experience. However, two key issues have drastically changed my opinion of the software:

1. Declining Customer Service: The quality of customer support has significantly worsened. It often feels like communicating with a chatbot, as the responses are generic and fail to address the actual question. It seems the inquiries are not understood, and there appears to be no genuine interest in providing solutions.

2. Restrictive Storage Limits and Unreasonable Costs: While the pricing seems fair at first glance, databases quickly hit storage limits as they grow (which is the core purpose of such software). Depending on the plan, only 1 or 2 GB are included. For years, it was possible to use larger databases without issues or warnings. Then, suddenly, a message appeared stating the database was too large and required additional licenses. At that point, accessing the data was impossible—not even for reading or exporting. The only option was to purchase more licenses, even though I am the sole user of the database. Despite this, the message persisted, and the support team merely suggested buying even more licenses.

Now, for my single-user database, I require 7 licenses at €120 each per year. Alternative solutions, such as offering additional storage at a reasonable price, have been repeatedly declined. Charging €120 per year for just 1 GB of storage feels entirely excessive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy creation and management of databases, good integration with MAC OS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unusual SQL syntax, print output should urgently be improved, e.g., the expression of views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the flexibility is very good, low code ist good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The performance is miserable, unfortunately working this way isn't fun because it takes far too long to load the information. The service was very good at the beginning, but now it leaves something to be desired Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is cumbersome until it is adapted to one's own needs. However, there are many helpful explanatory videos available for this purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I switched to the CRM of AbaNinja (much cheaper and directly connected to the accounting). Therefore, I deleted the automatic license renewal on the Ninox platform in due time. Nevertheless, the license was debited from my credit card again in June 24. After inquiries with Ninox, they claimed that I should have sent an additional email and that I could not prove my cancellation. I never got my money back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
