"Xano Changed The Game For My SIte"

5/5

What do you like best about Xano?

Xano makes many complex database and API processes very simple, even for those with little to no developer experience. It's also straightforward to integrate with other nocode platforms. Also, unlimited API calls is a huge win. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

At first, the layout can feel overwhelming, but after a couple of days, that feeling disappears. It's fairly affordable compared to other competitors, but still on the more expensive side compared to more traditional database solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Running a price comparison website means crunching a lot of external API data at a constant rate. And, because no API is the same, there needs to be a way to transform all of that external data from retailers into a format that works for our site/users. Xano's limitless API call rates make it feel like a true backend to our Bubble site and it's been an incredibly effective way to learn about how APIs work. With no knowledge of any coding language, we're able to crunch through thousands of products from APIs that even require complex security signatures all thanks to Xano.

Without Xano, much of the functionality of our site wouldn't be possible without hiring expensive developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best choice to build a backend without code"

4/5

What do you like best about Xano?

Xano offers all the components necessary to build a robust backend (databases, APIs, authentication, etc) while been as user friendly enough to allow non-tech profiles to develop features at a fast pace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

It could be great if Xano would expose direct access to the databases. This will improve the way we do analytics or build back-office apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Why I'm Excited About xano: A Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Xano?

-The company is dedicated to making sure its software is the best it can be in order for it to constantly improve.

-Have multiple meetings throughout the week called office hours where you drop in and either to learn or to get help on things you are stuck on right from the co-founders like the top of the top leadership.

-The use of Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, and the use of PostgreSQL as a database on Google Cloud infrastructure mean that xano is reliable and efficient.

-The reason I'm writing this review is that I feel like xano is the first real software, application, that has helped me see clearly how things are connected from the backend to the frontend.

-If xano offers public stock purchases, I would be very interested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

The security of the account is at the instance level, each instance starts now I believe $69 a month, and then of course you can have different workspaces for different projects, however, when you grant someone admin access to one of your spaces in the instance they can have access to all of your data within your spaces. It would be cool if security was further pushed down from the instance level to the workspace level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xano:

Try it, give it a shot, I would just say keep learning, xano has helped me a lot with the little that I know. I want it to help you too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used xano to create webhooks, API endpoints for my database, and save data in the xano database that I can access from different front-end services. Working on integrating Google's Dialogflow conversational AI service with HighLevel CRM, which allows communication between a lead and the Dialogflow CX chat bot to convert them into a customer.

"My Development Costs Dropped by 96.5%"

5/5

What do you like best about Xano?

It lets me--a non-coder--do everything I was paying a developer to do. My development costs have dropped from thousands of dollars per month to just the cost of my Xano subscription. I absolutely LOVE being hands-on on all levels of my product. I don't have to work around anyone else's schedule or costs.

Also, huge props to the Xano team who are super responsive to requests for help, and who have even built out additional features for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

The user interface--while fantastic for relatively simple function stacks--gets unwieldy when you have many layers of nested conditional and looped actions. I would love a blank canvas for a flow chart, but frankly, the fact I can do the "coding" myself is amazing unto itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xano:

You absolutely must know about https://forum.xano.com. That's where you go for customer support. They usually respond within a business day. Search to see if someone has already posted the same question (which means you get an instantaneous answer), and if you don't find it, create a new post. Sometimes, other users chime in with the answer.

This is apparently a normal thing for coders. Not such a normal customer service format for the rest of us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xano solving and how is that benefiting you?

After almost a year of trying to work with a handful of coders, I finally found one who wrote good code and was a good communicator. I paid him more than $21,000 to build out the back end of my app, but because of disruptions from COVID, we had to redesign a bunch and I used up my budget before the project was done. That's when I heard of Xano. Being able to do all of the back-end development myself, my business costs have dropped to practically zero, and I am able to let my understanding of back-end functionality inform the full product development process.

"The most powerful and easy to use lowcode backend"

5/5

What do you like best about Xano?

The tool itself is powerful and easy to get going with. It's then not too difficult to learn and build with greater complexity. Their support team and community make it easy to continuously improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Even though it is nocode there is a learning curve, but this is a function of the capability they are offering. They make stuff that is very complex codewise simple and accessible to no and low coders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Chicken Soup for Your Development Process"

5/5

What do you like best about Xano?

I love the flexibility of the Postgress environment. The addons and joins are an advantage, as they allow quick deployment. Most importantly, technical support is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Nothing. Instead of wishing for product enhancements, I constantly see capabilities within the product that I otherwise didn't know existed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best no code back end, hands down"

5/5

What do you like best about Xano?

It plays the line perfectly between "no code" and "low code", which means that it is still simple to the layperson, but you can truly do anything you want Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xano?

Nothing at all. the free version is a bit slower than paid, but that is understandable being that you aren't paying to build your project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
