## Knack Reviews
  ### 1. Ten Year Knack user

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I have used Knack to write two relatively complex database solutions.  While I had to get used to some non-standard database terms (e.g. connection vs. join), I found it extremely easy to learn and use.  The best thing about Knack is the support.  Except for a brief span a couple of years ago, their responsiveness and helpfulness has been superb.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Knack does not have any developer tools that let you create a workable testbed and transfer code to the live app.
There is no way to filter or search for a particular page in Builder which is a problem when your app has over 100 pages.  Likewise it does not let you group your pages easily or categorize them (e.g. Active, Retired, Pending, etc.).  While the new Next-Gen version of Builder now has much better tools, we will not be able to migrate because of a major component of our system using JavaScript code and a DHTMLX product.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack has provided a platform for our very complex use case as a retirement community tracking resident information, activities, and a Master Calendar.

  ### 2. Strong Upgrade with the New Builder

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Craig H. | Business Development / Information Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I’ve been using Knack for several years, across multiple apps and organizations. When I recently opened a new app and saw the new builder interface, I wasn’t thrilled. I had solid workflows in the old UI and was used to moving fast.

But the new UI is a clear step forward. It’s fast, intuitive, and well-organized. I was up and running quickly, and before long I preferred it. The improvements weren’t just cosmetic — they make building smoother and more efficient. I think they really 'knocked it out of the park.'

I had early concerns about JavaScript support in the new builder, but the team was responsive and quickly put those concerns to rest.

One of the strongest parts of Knack is its balance. It's easy enough to get things working fast, but with plenty of depth and customization when you need it.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

There are always little rare unique features you wish it had. But I would not be able to say there's anything I dislike. 

And quite frankly, some custom code will usually get the job done if any feature is not already there.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I build tools for multiple teams and organizations, each with unique requirements. Knack makes it easy to deliver tailored solutions quickly. It’s accessible enough for anyone to get started, but also powerful enough for more advanced users to build complex data and workflow systems for small to mid-sized businesses.

  ### 3. For rapid application development and prototyping, Knack is still the most complete system out there

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

After a short but steep learning curve you become very productive, very quickly. For most common business applications Knack will have a template that can be used to start you off, and even if you start from scratch you're able to create a data model very quickly and then have Knack build your basic pages. It's easy to understand and simple to use. The UI customisation is not perfect yet, but if you have a basic understanding of CSS you can create beautiful user interfaces easily enough. The ability to build in business logic attached to fields, views or forms is very useful and intuitive.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Performance has been an issue in the past, this is improving all the time as Knack get their act together from an engineering point of view. I feel that more views should be supported by now (Kanban, Gantt etc.) and that they've fallen behind a bit on dashboard widgets (there's only so much you can do with a pie chart, bar chart and line chart) and it doesn't really support data-warehouse or Business Intelligence applications well enough at the moment. But all of these challenges have workarounds so they don't become blockers on projects.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I build apps for a wide range of customers across a number of industries, I have created – or helped create – Quotation Management systems, Manufacturing Estimating solutions, CRM, ERP even MRP. I don’t think there’s a Business Application segment that I haven’t created an app for using Knack.

  ### 4. Awesome Super Flexible Database

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniel R. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I can do just about anything I or my users can think of.  Knack fits perfect for our database needs.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Certain standard features such as duplicate removal are not native and this can be VERY challenging.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack allows us to registration any student in the state of Florida for our courses quickly and efficiently.  Knack has allowed the ENTIRE district to progress monitor and problem solve for students in every school taking our courses.  Knack allows me to be a thinker and problem solver rather than always being a "doer".

  ### 5. Forget Exce

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nic M. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack is easy to configure and use. It makes light work of the heavier loads. Forget the complexities of Excel. Knack does it better and much more. And I'm not using much more in the way that marketing professionals do. Knack can do much more than Excel when it comes to inventory and sales data.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Knacks only short coming is the lack of some native integrations into pre-existing tables such as Sales and Products for Shopify as an example, but the API is easy to use so we've solved that problem.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack allows us to replace complex back end integrations and gives our clients visibility into what and how their data is being managed and synced between different applications. Acting as a middleware is some instances but with easy to understand interface. Managing inventory with drop-shipping across multiple 3PLs, especially where assembly is required and multiple child-products are being consumed when selling the parent item is important for many of our clients. Knack makes it easy to consolidate data from multiple sources and tables to create the desired workflows.

  ### 6. Excellent, Easy No Code!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

The first differentiator with Knack was having the benefit of an Onboarding Expert who walks you through what to expect, what can be achieved and how to get started!  Second, the availability of template apps that load in only minutes is phenomenal! That's a great way to get a solid lay of the land. Third, the platform itself is very intuitive. After planning a basic design on paper, you're able to build an app literally within a day!

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Some minor capabilities are not available, however, Knack offers generous resources and support for ways to create work arounds in these cases.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack gave me the ability to rapidly deploy a solution that my Users could adopt right away, transitioning easily from paper processes to online, without a huge learning curve.

  ### 7. Knack helps me solve my clients data issues

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David P. | Principle, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2020

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack is simple enough for about anyone to build very useful database apps.  But at the same time, it is extremely robust allowing very high end functionality for users with a little more experience.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

The somewhat limited ability to do better formatting and page layouts on detail reports and forms.

**Recommendations to others considering Knack:**

Take a little time learning the very basics of database structure, and review some of their training articles, and your learning curve will go up very quickly.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm a builder that helps clients implement Knack solutions. I've done a lot of projects, many that focus on inventory management, custom CRMs, volunteer management, process audits, and on boarding processes.

  ### 8. Choose your own adventure

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Roger D. | Founding Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I appreciate Knack's flexibility, power and user-friendliness for basic tasks.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

The flipside of its power is that there are many features we're not managing to use because of our own internal, technical limitations.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're a nonprofit that runs a grants program and we're using Knack to store and search all of the data we collect from our grant applicants and grantees.

  ### 9. 4 years of use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I like the set price, regardless of users, this makes it easy for me to create an app without fear of the cost each month. Originally i had planned to use knack to create apps as proof of concept, before commiting to further development. I was pleasantly surprised that we actually don't need to develop some of the apps, as knack as many features that cover the needs i have.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Some of the table structure takes some thinking about, but nothing that can't be overcome.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack allows us to build apps quickly and efficiently. It allows us to have multiple users, with the correct restrictions in place

  ### 10. An Honset reiview after about 5 years

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2020

Simple to use if you have a basic understanding of coding

Dated looking web app needs to be more flexible in design

New features can be slow to be implemented, however this has improved in the last couple of years.

  ### 13. Knack keeps me and my clients in business

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

  ### 14. Knack user / consultant for 6 or 7 years...

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julian K. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack is a fantastic no-code database tool for building business solutions. 

It especially comes into it's own when you need to have large groups of users needing varying forms of access. Think Customer portals or HR processes.

The technical infrastructure of the system makes this easy to accomplish - and the licencing model supports this as well (they do not charge per user). Most of my client's systems have large numbers of very infrequent users (one had over 200,000!).

Becuase it is so easy to control what different users can see and interact with, it soon becomes the corner stone of your operation and can replace many seperate systems and spreadsheets in an entirely integrated solution.

Partnered with an Integration/Workflow tool like Make, you can automate your whole business.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Like others have said, I would like to see an improvement to the standard 'look and feel' of a finished Knack app - but this is on the way quite soon.

I would also like more workflow tools built into the product - although you can use Make for this quite simply.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have built many solutions with Knack including:

Recruitment
HR
Absence Management
Timesheet recording
Shift Scheduling
Vehicle Maintenance
A Covid Testing system (booking tests, payment and delivering results)
Drug Dispensing
Partnership Program Compliance
Site bookings for Events

Etc

  ### 15. Good no-code solution

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert L. | CEO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

It gives you a means to create an interactive platform for your team to collaborate on without having to learn coding. In my case use it is a secondary software that allows the company to effeciently manage a growing team and address the primary software's short comings for some of the most riskiest aspects of our line of business. With knack, our growth is manageable and there is a degree of team member effeciency that allows us to stay adminstratively lean.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

I had to learn by doing as it can be hard to wrap your head around all the interactions and work arounds. From figuritively shaking records to get formulas to work or the dance that you need to perform to pull information from one record to another, there is a way but it is complex to get there. I dislike that I can't park a SaaS on a domain and not have it revert to the knack host. I have told them this feedback multiple times without it being addressed. This kinda matters when trying to resell or not freak your consumer by jumping them to another domain. It also has terms and conditions implications. I ultimately have concluded to learn coding and build it from the ground up. I think knack is good for those who only want to wade in instead of diving into the deep end. I don't regret finding, using and depending on Knack. I just wish it could be the full solution for what I am specifically trying to do, build an EHR SaaS.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack's use cases are many. We use it as a secondary software for finding contractors of varios qualities and availability. The search feature enables us to have multiple coordinators facilitating this at the same time. It allows for developing HR training modules for new hires. It allows us to download from our primary software, a crappy EHR, and upload data that we can extend off of and actually make usable, interactive and something we can depend on. It also has a task manager aspect to it that you can custom build and receive reminders from easily.

  ### 16. Versatile platform for all data management needs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jonathan T. | charter pilot, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2020

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Over the current 6 years, I have been a privileged builder of Knack applications for several clients, all of which have value somewhere between instrumental and essential to their organizations. 
Knack is especially helpful because it is really not a closed system, but can be core of a grand ecosystem. With Knack you can store and interface with data within, and build algorithms, rules, and all that. But it can also be the nucleus of your task world by ennabling you to automate, interact and transform your workflows and processes. 
Knack's commitment to data integrity has produced a characteristic slow-turning ship when it comes to enhancing the product. Yet, this actually bolsers my confidence in the product.

There is a quality network of developers who are always cheerful and helpful to pitch in to help.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Lacks a couple features I that would make data management easier on some days but let's face it - my own lack of omniscience is often at fault for not building right in the first place and wasting time on tweaks. On a few superficials, i wish Knack could look better on the UI but that is in works. It is often wished that the UI were as robust as the back end to update records.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Unifying the efforts and workflow of many people regardless of location. Automating tasks that would take many hours a month. Generating and sending reports on a button click . Storing massive amounts of data and making it look simple.

  ### 17. Run numerous aspects of work and personal life on Knack

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kelly M. | Director of Marketing, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

It's just so damn easy to create custom applications that work the way I want them to. Started using it about 10 years ago when I ran operations for a start-up marketing agency and has carried into managing my current marketing, ecommerce and inside sales teams. I love the ability for anyone in the organization to access the apps created. When my wife started her event management company a few years back, I got a separate license to build out all the contracts, invoicing and expense managment aspects. I even created an app to manage the maintenance schedules and records for our RV and other vehicles. And mind you, I'm a marketing guy, not an IT guy. Now I will admit to having a high geek factor and a lot of experience with relational databases, but it's still super intuitive when you get your mind wrapped around the construct. The support has also been consistently top notch. I use the chat feature and someone is back in touch quickly. They also follow-up on things like known bugs that take a while to fix. If Knack went away, I'd probably just retire!

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

I do wish it had more robust visualizations. Pretty much just bar, pie and line charts plus a pivot table. Certainly helpful, but a little more would be nice. The speed has gotten much better, but still have to clear my cache regularly to keep from getting the spinning Knack symbol.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

From managing campaigns, expenses and team status reports to contracts, triggering automation campaigns and managing maintenance records on my vehicles. I hate doing repetitive things so it allows me to automate and connect various datasets in a way that make me much more efficient.

  ### 18. Best Database for start ups or small businesses.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Martin S. | Engineering Technician, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack is easy to use and to manage, their customer support also responds quickly.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

A one click backup feature would be nice.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping track of projects from status, invoicing, payments and timesheets all in one place with multiple users.

  ### 19. Excellent software for building own database apps

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert C. | IT Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I'm not a programmer by any means, but I find Knack pretty straightforward to use. Lots of help available on the internet if you get stuck. In particular I like the templates, which I've found pretty straightforward to alter for my own use.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

The one thing that would be really useful, would be an Android App that could be used offline. I'm fairly often at client locations without Internet connection, and an offline app would really help.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've built my own client record database, where I can store all my client info, including equipment inventory. This also allws clients to access the information.

  ### 20. Easy to customize and great support!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Security and Investigations | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Easy to understand and applicable for a lot of use cases

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

At this moment nothing. An AI autocorrection spelling tool would be helpful.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Vendor Management

  ### 21. Support powerful. I run my whole business on it

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Guy R. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

The logic is intuitive. Configuring the software to do what we need is possible 95% of the time, age for the trickier bits there is a community of awesome power users who share code to plug in.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

I have been using knack for over 10 years. I honestly can't think of a dislike. There are things that I cannot do, but they fail into the category of my planning skills, or not being realistic.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use knack all the way from embedded form on our website collecting new leads, to follow up and quote, to carrying out sold installations including commissioning app for onsite technician, to job close off and invoicing, warranty management, service and repair management, project management, and customer portals.

  ### 22. Powerful and Approachable

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kara R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Knack?**

The continuous improvements and scalability

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

A bit more flexibility in customizing the user interface.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Grant and independent contractor managment to guide and identify categories of spending, identify proper campaigns, timelines, payments, and reimbursements.

  ### 23. Powerful, flexible database plug-in to our Squarespace website.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ken F. | Host, Courageous Conversations about our Schools Podcast, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I needed a flexible database to plug into our Squarespace website. I selected Knack after reviewing a couple of other options and Knack was the best and most affordable fit. Each time I thought I might need technical support for the data import and design tasks I was able to solve the problems myself.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Very little but I would like to see a feature added that would allow me to limit the fields a user can select in filtering data. I hear that feature may be in the works.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Adding a database component to our website.

  ### 24. Poor performance, data integrity and support

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeremy N. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

It's super easy to build and modify an app!

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Knack is built on a painfully slow platform that lacks data integrity.  Over 10 years on the platform, we've seen little to no progress on this front.  Support has gone downhill over the years as well.  Knack is great for small projects, but if you want something that will scale even a little, look elsewhere!

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rapid Application Development

  ### 25. Excellent solution that is robust and flexible.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amir G. | Tissue Access for Patient Benefit Director, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

It is a robust system that during our usage over several years, has had no outage or major issues. It is highly flexible and allows us to make chalnges internally to reflect the rapidly evolving science sector we are part of, without the need for a coder.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

For use in the UK, they are not registered with the Information Commissioners Office. Therefore, that needs to be justified to large insitutions, that we are part of. It is cheap join and Knack are already compliant.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We work in the scientific feild, with lots of disperate data, and studies that continually change. The flexibility of Knack enables us to introduce changes to the database quickly and easily. Most importantly, the changes we make do not have a sudden catastrophic effects. This is not the case when working with conventional databases.

  ### 26. Amazing tool to build internal apps

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Loic S. | COO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I love that Knack is so easy to build on. The database is very powerful and the page builder is very intuitive and simple. I love being able to go from an idea to a proof of concept so quickly. They have made a lot of improvements in the last year or so, the performance and the quality of support have greatly increased.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

The default design of live apps is not great and still requires some work to make apps look good but I know they are working on improving this.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Create custom apps designed to fulfill the exact needs of a team or a company. Instead of trying to hack existing software to work for a specific business, I can build a dedicated solution from scratch.

  ### 27. Game Changing

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I can work on the coding with their API support, and this allows me to quickly put togehter apps that just work. Never have to worry about web servers, updating VM's, updating SSL certs. Get up and going in minutes. Their 2024-25 road map looks nuts. This app just keeps getting better and better.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

It does lack some customization with UI (which are getting addressed this year) , and Shema as you have to be creative with create relational databases. However, they keep updating, so it only seems to be getting better and better.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Anything I've thrown at it.

  ### 28. 100% Awesome for non-techies

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David O. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

We evaluated many online solutions before choosing Knack. The reason we chose Knack is the ease of use for a non-techie. We run our business with Knack and have never written one line of code.

Our company is 100% remote. So, a cloud-based data base with STRONG controls is exactly what we needed. 

Knack is FANTASTIC. I'd recommend it to anyone using connected Google Sheets or other organic systems.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Nothing! I love Knack! They just added an AI tool that is fantastic!

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Secure access for our remote users is very important. We run our business on Knack so it's difficult to say which specific problems it solves. Because it solves everything!

  ### 29. Knack has become my go-to tool for almost all of my clients' projects.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hugo C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack is extremely versatile, and can be used to manage almost any business function, bith standard (e.g. timesheets, CRM, expenses) and the more unusual.  It is an excellent tool for industries where no 'off-the-shelf' tool exists, or where organisations want to build more and more functions into one platform.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Not as fast as other cloud-based competitiors

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It gives me the ability to have numerous functions in one place rather than having a whole host of integrated (and costly apps.  
It is also easy to give client access without additional cost as there is no pay-per-user billing model.

  ### 30. The ultimate software for any business

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kristi G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

So many things!  Workflows, notifications,  ease of use/simplicity, accessibility/SSO, pricing, customer support, and most of all the ability to customize it to your own business  needs.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

That the knack apps can't connect to each other (but this is in the works to be changed soon)

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack gives our business one platform to effectively manage just about everything between departments.  Most of all, it gives us a single source of truth and offers updated communication (tasks, emails) to keep the business well organized and informed.

  ### 31. Utilizing Knack for several healthcare companies

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack allows me to create custom applications for my specific niche market.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Knack has slower load times vs some of the competitors, however they do have a dedicated server plan that is affordable.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack allows me to build very customizable workflows for a very specific industry (I/DD). We use knack to do all of our HR, as well as create medicaid claims that we submit to state systems.  We have integrations with docusign, Make, and othe API interfaces.

  ### 32. Best No Code on the Market

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Micah G. | Carpenter, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Easy to use and understand. Power and function supported by custom scripts. Prompt support via email.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Quite rigid out of the box but very stable. Extra functionality requires an understanding of JavaScript.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easily accessible Saas development

  ### 33. Job management in the construction industry

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Scott M. | Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack allowed us to build a job management tool quickly and then refine it as our field and office provided  feedback.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

There is no report generator available like Access or other DB tools have.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack gave us a tool to build a platform for capturing customer info, creating job #s, tracking worker time, tracking tools and equipment, and managing our van stock process that is all integrated in 1 place centered around our job #s.

  ### 34. Good solution for low/no code database work

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Ease of use, drag and drop builder, record history, scalable, enterprise plans available for bigger use cases

**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.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has helped consolidate some of our operating procedures and streamlined data organization.

  ### 35. Very effective and low cost solution to share and manage relational database.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laurent G. | Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Very afordabble and friendly user solution

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

It is not possible to have a personnal adress like ... www.mybusiness.com

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To share a powerfull database with users.

  ### 36. Knack makes me better at what I do.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nick C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

The builder interface is easy to use and understand.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

nothing comes to mind.  It is a great product and it keeps getting better.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack is helping build consistency in our business processes and procudures.  It helps keep information in a centeralized location so users can go to quickly and easily access the information.

  ### 37. Don't bet your company on it

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2024

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Quick to build on with a very good no-code UI.

**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.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We wanted to get to market quickly, which we did. But now we have a dependency on a fundamentally unreliable component.

  ### 38. Amazing Database Software for Small Companies

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrew P. | Digital Marketing Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2022

**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.

**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.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're a non-profit organization that plants thousands of trees each year. Knack is powering our forestry database that keeps tracks of all our plots, how old they are, when they are due for a check-up, if there are ongoing problems like disease or bugs that need to be dealt with, etc. It has helped us become more organized, save time, and maximize our tree survival rate!

  ### 39. Reasonably-priced database server for start-ups

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gregory K. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2022

**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.

**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.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack is going to enable us to re-launch our Phrase Database (a compendium of over 3,000 corporate mottos, slogans, and taglines) with a much better user experience, and to do so in literally one-sixth the time that the original (failed) attempt had taken.

  ### 40. Solid, simple, and affordable file management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laurent M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2023

**What do you like best about Knack?**

The pricing is very reasonable, setting up, using, and managing the software is reasonably easy.  Extra points for the ability to set up a nice interface for users with different classes and permissions.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

When using calendars, each appointment counts as a record, which can add up pretty fast. Customization could be pushed further, especially for alignment and text formatting.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nice and solid file management for our clients, with easy-to-use forms for our counsellors, combined with calendars for appointments and related session notes.

  ### 41. A No-code database

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack is one of the best no-code DB out in the market. The UI is intuitive and I find coding very boring sometimes, Knack came to the rescue. You can customize the UI as per your specifications without involving your boring IT team.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Not a lot of options to reach the customer support over chat or call. Just email. Hit send and wait for few hours till they respond.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Coming from a non-DBA background, I use Knack for my work and test out some DB integrations. Knack's super-clean and super-intuitive UI always helped me maneuver through my work.

  ### 42. Game Changer for Small Businesses

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Graham P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2020

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack is an incredibly fast, powerful, flexible, and reliable tool that has completely transformed the way we run our small business of approx 40 employees.  We built one central system on knack to manage all our data and operational processes (company-wide) in one spot online.  The transparency, efficiency, and ease of use has been a game changer for us, and I honestly don't know how we would operate without knack at this point.  You don't need to be a coder or super techie to understand and use knack, it is very intuitive and well designed, and super adaptable to most scenarios.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Every now and then I will run into a small limitation or want to customizing something that I can't.  Overall, the functionality covers the bases for what I need to do the majority of the time.

**Recommendations to others considering Knack:**

If you're looking for a fast, affordable, and flexible solution for creating a core technology system to help run your business, you should definitely give Knack a try.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knack has solved countless problems for our business, including: dramatic reduction in paper/shift to digital, automatic email reminders to people when they miss an important deadline, aggregating relevant data automatically so we can easily see company metrics and performance at the click of a button, shared access to company data/information but still being able to control levels of user access for each role, the system tells us when we need to invoice a client and emails us an alert, creating a central database for the company and eliminating countless spreadsheets, creating relationships between our data, saving us from data entry, getting our field crew to use tablets to report their information.  The list goes on and on... too many solutions to list.

  ### 43. Knack and its simplicity

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Diaa E. | Digital Adoption Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Knack?**

The idea of designing a platform of attendance/note taking. It is straight-forward

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

I feel the apperance could be better. The flow is there but looks, not really.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Attendance. Tracking of data. Data collecting.

  ### 44. Our organization's RDS Cluster Applications can be simply created without any code with Knack

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Varshini S. | Database Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2021

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack is an online database application platform that is superb for creating our database objects depending on our client procurements. It is easy to migrate our pre-existing databases to Knack with its import feature, which ensures record mappings and key validations. Querying is very simplistic, and its backup occurs regularly, thereby ensuring database latency & integrity.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

It provisions inline editing so that we can edit our records simply by click and edit rather than reloading the platform to reflect the changes. I don't find anything to dislike about Knack.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The best thing about Knack is its capabilities to create multiple database cluster applications which can be integrated into a cordial platform provided by Knack. This process helps me to collect memory logs, process interactions, and transaction requests which are key performance metrics to evaluate the optimization strategies for our enterprise applications. It has brilliant load balancing implementations which automatically allocate resources based on our incoming workload. Navigation features are convenient, and we can guide over our application. Its easy to replicate my database application clusters as it offers no-code platform for developing them for our customers.

  ### 45. Knack - The precipice of amazing

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Knack?**

No User Limits -  Most database softwares count customers as users.  So if you build a customer dashboard, where each customer has to register can get really crazy.  This is one of the reasons we first started using knack because we can have 10,000 customers access their accounts and it's still the same low price.

Build complex databases with very little code knowledge - Every business is a little different, but organizing your business and creating processes around different stages is super easy.  If you connect it into something like Integromat, you can sync informations across all your systems and have lots of complex triggers.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Knack requires some getting used to to build stuff.  It's very rigid in how to associate data, so you need to do a lot of work arounds to do some tricky things.  Almost anything can be done, but it is not always intuitive on how to do it.

As objects get larger with lots of fields, latency errors start to occur within the api causing lots of errors.

Update 1 year later:  Weve continued to work wtih knack and build other applications.  However, the 503 Upstream errors has made me change my mind about recommending it to others.  We are using Integromat to move data between softwares and into knack.  As we've built out our applications and added functionality the upstream errors have become unbearable.  On one day this year we had over 100 upstream errors.  We have tasked an employee to review and resolve these errors but you can imagine that doing that across 100+ scenarios would take up almost their entire day.  

The purpose of building an app is grow it in functionality as your business grows.  If Knack is your primary database, you will no doubt at some point need to manipulate the data or add records from outside resources.  If this is your intent, then I would else where.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have over a 100 different order statuses with 5 different departments.  We use knack to not only track these statuses, but track efficiency and move data to different softwares.  It has become our central source of truth for all our applications.  Since it's easy to use, we can hire lower level developers to maintain and create automations within the business.  Non-coders can even help.  We can make big changes to the system within minutes without the help of a developer in most cases.

  ### 46. Keeps Us Organized & Provides Lots Of Data

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Joshua  R. | Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2021

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Having such a vast amount of information all in one place and being able to keep it organized

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Cannot fully search the data in every way that we'd like, while there are many unused search functions that I would gladly trade off.

**Recommendations to others considering Knack:**

I do not make the decisions regarding which software we use but I've seen our company switch several of our other tools over the years while still always sticking with Knack.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We log communication history and store many types of customer data that would be difficult to do in such an organized way without this product.

  ### 47. Easy to use, quick to deploy

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2021

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I've looked at many online database providers, and I kept coming back to Knack because of the ability to have as many users as I want without any associated costs. My app has hundreds of users, and it costs me nothing. Every other database solution I evaluated charged per user. I also like the ease of use. I don't have to manage the API or the security of the system. Knack handles that, which frees my time.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

I don't like that you can't see the internal IDs and foreign keys. Knack handles that b ehind the scenes, but it would be better if you could at least see them.

**Recommendations to others considering Knack:**

Not seeing the internal IDs is strange. Knack generates them behind the scene. I've added my own, just so that if I need to export the data, I can replicate the database.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have created an online database for all of the schools in our state. Each school creates an account and enters its staff members. The second they enter the data, it's available to all of our schools. I've also created an app that allows each school to request approval for playing an out-of-state team. This process is entirely digital now, where in the past, it involved fax or scanned documents emailed to schools and different state associations.

  ### 48. A great tool for non-developers

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Knack?**

I needed a database for the company I am working with to communicate site updates between office and site personnel. I enjoyed the ease of creating a live database from scratch. Without coding (or any knowledge of coding languages). Just had to spend a couple of minutes surfing around the tutorials and here we go, had a completely working database up and running. It is compatible with most phones, iPads, and computers. So I did not worry about compatibility. Most of the functions I required and the pages I needed were straight forward. The help section and tutorials are amazing. You can create forms that send auto emails to your users or your clients. You can also set up tracking so you can track what your users do. And the best thing is, you have a backup of your database every single day. I messed up some data records in a day but was reversed by Knack support team and everything came back to normal. I am absolutely satisfied with Knack.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

When you want to add a feature, usually it takes some time till Knack Team can develop it. Otherwise you have to use a professional developer, which is sometimes expensive. Also some CSS tools are not available, like changing colors or shapes of buttons, etc.

**Recommendations to others considering Knack:**

Read the tutorials first. They are very helpful in understanding how everything works.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Built a complete Project Management Solution for a construction company only using Knack.  
Needed to synchronize photos and data between all team members, this was solved by creating a module for uploading and tracing photos and documents and dates between all team members

  ### 49. Knack Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Knack offers a great variety of webnairs that demo which is super useful. It is nice to have access to all inclusive data.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

I dislike being logged out from the site occasionally. For a multi tasker like myself, I am going back forth from multiple windows.

**Recommendations to others considering Knack:**

Take a look at the pricing and consider trying Knack, it is well priced and gives you options.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There are some bugs on the mobile app that can be easily fixed. Benefits include great customer service.

  ### 50. Flexibility with API to do almost anything; unusably slow two days a quarter business at standstill

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2021

**What do you like best about Knack?**

Flexibility with API to do almost anything.

**What do you dislike about Knack?**

Unusably slow about two days every quarter; in the morning, the app is unusable, but its 24-hour support, so employees spend the entire business day down.

**Recommendations to others considering Knack:**

Mission critical apps need to be on private server otherwise, your app will be unusable a couple of times a quarter.

**What problems is Knack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Created medium complexity app to process financial transactions where workers spend 50% of their time.
