Pros \- Open-core philosophy with huge number of available features for free plan- Very stable- Reliable API- Speed Cons Lack of some features but the product is on a fast-pace development Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hey there, Thanks for your recommendation of Baserow! We know performance, speed, and reliability are integral, especially when dealing with large amounts of data, so it's great to hear that your experience has been in line with what we set out to achieve. - Hiram BT Brian T. Chief Enthusiasm Officer Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great basic product that needs slight polishing to be outstanding" May 22, 2023 5.0 The basic functions and overall app design are excellent. The migration from other apps, and the creation of new instances, has been effortless. Pros Easy migration from other applications and the lean and clean interface. The support has been outstanding. Cons The worst feature by far is typography. The emphasis is on the structure rather than the content. For example, the Field names are Black and Bold and prominent, while the content is grey and subsidiary. The lack of any typographic controls is almost a deal breaker. Reason for choosing Baserow Return on Investment Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hey Brian, Thanks for taking the time to review us! Glad to hear your migration and setup has been effortless on Baserow. I've made a note of your feedback regarding the typography and contrast. We're actually undergoing lots of product design revamps right now, so I can't imagine it'll be too long before this is improved. - Hiram HG Harish G. Associate Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review on Baserow" April 23, 2024 5.0 Pros It's really easy to use and user friendly platform. Cons I think User interface could be more engaging Review Source Response from Baserow May 13, 2024 Hi, Harish! Thanks for your review. Glad to hear you're finding Baserow easy to use and navigate. We'd love to hear some concrete improvement suggestions for the UI on the Baserow Community. Start a thread and let's see what we can do! -Hiram KD Kenneth D. Information Systems Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Baserow user just dabbling" May 16, 2023 5.0 Baserow has become a central repository for company information like, The employee list, where IP Scan logs go, converted google sheets are stored, and my favorite part is the data is accessible from SQL Server. Amazing product! Pros We mainly use baserow as a substitute to google sheets and it does that exceptionally. Cons The biggest issue is that the free version only allows 1 user, which means all users have to share an account. Not very ideal but it works. I also understand this is a paid feature. Reason for choosing Baserow We are still evaluating between Baserow and NocoDB. Baserow is the winner so far because it allways quick and easy importing of excel files where NocoDB take a lot more effort getting the data imported. Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hi Kenneth, Great to hear that Baserow is helping you meet your business needs! We have some resources in our community and blog for helping you make the best choice when it comes to the right platform for your business, so be sure to take a look at those—I trust you'd find them helpful. Of course, if you need help with anything else, we're also happy to chat. - Hiram PT Paul T. owner Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Alternative outshines competition" April 23, 2024 4.0 Pros The flexibility and capabilities. You don't have to build everything yourself but you cn customize it Cons The switch to open core, but it is quite understandable Alternatives considered [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) Review Source Response from Baserow May 14, 2024 Keeping Baserow flexible and easy to customize is something we really focus on, Paul. Thanks for sharing your experience! -Hiram mM mazin M. COO Medical Devices Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great effort. needs many improvements. " May 25, 2023 3.0 over all support is very good. sadly, without the certain features we cannot sign up. in order for baserow to excel, it must: offer all the airtable features, for less $, or offer better platform for the same (or more) $. Pros clean interface. seems to load much faster than airtable. support is by far exceeds others. Cons Baserow, is missing many features offered by airtable. Such as the view imbed feature, where we can imbed a certain view, with automatically generated I frame, with options to convert the "grid" view into card format, (horizontal), that's very pleasing to look at. another, is hidden items. with baserow there is no option to hide items in order to minimize "item headers", but have all item's fully visible in expanded mode. in base row hidden items remain hidden, which makes the entire feature worthless. also, the controls, are as worthless as airtable, and are not compatible with mobile devices, in imbed / I Frame mode. Serious IOs compatibility as well, just like the competition. Reason for choosing Baserow did not. Review Source Response from Baserow June 5, 2023 Hi Mazin, thanks for taking the time to review Baserow and sharing your feedback. Much appreciated. As a heads up, views can be embedded into an iframe (a good example of this in action would be our baserow.io/templates page). We also have Gallery view, which is similar to what I believe you're looking for regarding "card format." For the other stuff, I may not be fully understanding, but I highly recommend jumping into the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io) so that you can share screenshots/GIFs of what you're looking for in Baserow. Once we have a better understanding of that, then we can start the process of fitting it into the roadmap. :) -Hiram PR Pieter-Jan R. Software developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Low code tool Baserow" April 23, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use software with fair pricing model. Cons There are not a lot of integrations or special features yet Review Source Response from Baserow May 14, 2024 Hi Pieter-Jan, thanks for reviewing Baserow! Glad you're finding our platform easy to use. Would be great to hear more about the "special features" you're looking for so we can make that happen. As for integrations: you can connect with 5000+ apps using Zapier, Make, and/or n8n. With that said, native integrations are on the roadmap! Stay tuned for more. -Hiram VR Verified Reviewer Director Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best nocode lowcode product" May 16, 2023 5.0 Pros Fantastic product plus apis. Very useful Cons No ROLE BASED ACCESS CONTROL in the free version Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hey there, Thanks for your review! Glad you're enjoying the API-first nature of Baserow. - Hiram FS Frank S. CTO Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Capable open-source product for rapid integrations" May 11, 2023 5.0 Pros In olden times, one would build integration around spreadsheets with technologies like Visual Basic and such. Filemaker is another piece of software that comes to mind. These projects often grow to form the backbone of small-medium sized companies. While the use case is completely legitimate, it can be frustrating to see the vendor lock-in and potential tech debt this causes. Baserow is open source, really nice and accessible from a user perspective and yields the more modern integration landscape of a web application / REST API. Cons Functionality is sometimes a little too basic, having page-sized print layouts would enable many more use cases. Alternatives considered [Claris FileMaker](https://www.capterra.com/p/162784/FileMaker/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hi Frank, Thanks for sharing your experience and input. We'd love to know what functionality you think Baserow is missing—check out our roadmap and/or GitLab repo to see if something catches your eye. Also curious about the page-sized print layouts you're mentioning—not sure I fully understand the use case, but feel free to pop this into the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io) so we can understand and evaluate your suggestion (and make it happen). - Hiram AZ Alexander Z. founder Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It's hot on the heels of Airtable" May 11, 2023 3.0 We are waiting for the addition of grouping by, count, and roll-up functions, among others, in Baserow before we can migrate from Airtable. Without grouping by, it is impossible to make the migration as it is a key UX requirement for our users. Pros irtable is a great service, but it has some limitations, especially when it comes to the number of records and pricing. Baserow is poised to become the perfect open-source alternative, as it has the same minimalist design and ease of use, and also has a roadmap with useful features that are necessary to become a fully functional database. Cons Baserow currently lacks some features when compared to Airtable, such as grouping by, count, and roll-up functions, as well as some webhooks and automation features. However, these features are on the roadmap and expected to be released this year. Additionally, some of the more advanced features such as role-based field permissions and logging will only be available in the enterprise version and not in the free open-source version. Reason for choosing Baserow features, design, price, open source Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hey Alexander, Thanks for taking the time to review us! Not sure if you've swung back to Baserow recently, but it might be helpful to fill you in on some of the features you mentioned: 1. Group by: This may end up getting moved up on the roadmap. 2. Count and rollup functions exist. The rollup field isn't native like on Airtable, but it's still possible to do it through a formula field. 3. Webhooks can be found when clicking the 3 dots (...) next to the table view. 4. Native Baserow automations are on the way. In the meantime, you can always set up powerful workflows using Zapier, Make, n8n, etc. If you have any other questions, suggestions, or need help setting something up in Baserow, feel free to jump into the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io) and we'll help you out. - Hiram DL Daniel L. Director E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best free option" April 24, 2024 5.0 Very easy to use, The learning curve is short Pros It is the best option to work in online databases, it is very similar to Airtable which has made it easy for me to use it Cons You don't have the calendar view in the free version Alternatives considered [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) Reason for choosing Baserow Because it allows me to install on my own server Review Source Response from Baserow April 25, 2024 Glad you're enjoying Baserow, Daniel! Thanks for your review. Marek L. Product Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Powerful and User-Friendly Tool for Efficient Data Management" May 18, 2023 5.0 Baserow is a powerful and user-friendly tool for creating online databases. It has an intuitive interface, customization options, and seamless collaboration features. While the reporting and visualization capabilities could be improved, Baserow is reliable and responsive, making it a great choice for managing data projects. Pros Baserow stands out with its user-friendly interface, extensive customization options, seamless collaboration features, reliable performance, and cloud-based accessibility. Cons I have not found any cons or drawbacks so far. Therefore, I highly recommend giving Baserow a try. Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hey Marek, Appreciate you sharing your experience! We're glad that Baserow is helping you manage all of your data projects in a performant and collaborative way. - Hiram BA Brandon A. Integration Solutions Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great option for quickly turning ideas into reality" May 25, 2023 4.0 For most of what I've tried in Baserow it just works the way I'd expect it to work. Also, there have been multiple times where I've wished for a feature in my head and then shortly after it's been implemented. Pros I love the flexibility and the ease of implementing basic relationships between tables, calculated fields, and different field types. Cons When using the API, the field names are very cryptic and I haven't figured out a way to make them more readable. Alternatives considered [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/)[Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) Reason for choosing Baserow Baserow is a great middle option between the alternatives that is easy to set up Review Source Response from Baserow June 5, 2023 Hey Brandon, thanks for your review! Mind reading is something we implemented recently, which is how we've been able to ship features shortly after you think of them. (Kidding.) On a more serious note, we have some API docs which should be helpful, but if you still need some help, I'd recommend jumping into the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io) so that a fellow Baserower can help you out. -Hiram CK Chandan K. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wonderful for using it as a database " June 1, 2023 5.0 Great, API is working better compared to Airtable. It was a deal breaker. Pros Easy to use & super fast API. You can also host it by yourself. Cons Lack of features & finish compared to Airtable. Switched from [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) Slow API Review Source Response from Baserow June 6, 2023 Hey Chandan, appreciate you taking the time to review Baserow! Glad Baserow's speedy API is doing wonders for you. We have lots of devs working with the API in the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io). Feel free to jump in anytime. -Hiram JP Josiah P. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Works great " May 23, 2023 5.0 Pros Simple and intuitive. Focused feature set Cons Needs some more work in a few areas: UX, api, and no code integrations Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hi Josiah, Thanks for taking the time to review Baserow! Being API-first and UX-driven, it'd be great to understand what sorts of API and UX improvements you'd like to see. We have an active community at community.baserow.io if you want to hop in and share your thoughts. Additionally, native integrations are in the works! In the meantime, if there's anything you're looking to automate, it can most likely be done in conjunction with a third-party integration tool like Zapier, n8n, Make, etc. See you in the community. - Hiram jK johan K. Assistant chef de projet Facilities Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Johan Reviewb" May 25, 2023 4.0 pretty good we work on for scool and compagny project Pros Excel Like, but some features was missing when i used i. Like date formule Cons that is the same work as excel. I would like to make some BI with it but currently this is absent Review Source Response from Baserow June 5, 2023 Hey Johan, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Baserow thus far. We have a handful of date-related functions (https://baserow.io/user-docs/understanding-formulas) that likely do what you're looking for, and perhaps more. If you need some help setting this up or have other questions, I highly recommend asking in the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io), and we'll help you out. P.S. Relational databases can do a lot more than spreadsheets, so if you're working in Excel, Baserow may be able to better organize and centralize your data and preserve integrity. AC Arnold C. Data Analyst Insurance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Baserow- first impressions" May 22, 2023 4.0 Pros Open Source nature is attractive because you can always self host it. The no-code approach also allows users to have the ease of use that MS Excel provides. Like the iFrame embedding as well. Cons Could use a desktop app for this. Not a fan of web browser apps for this kind of work. Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hi Arnold, Thanks for taking the time to review Baserow! Glad you're making use of our self-hosted capabilities and the ease of use that many of us are accustomed to from using spreadsheets. We'll make a note of your request for a desktop application, but would be great to first understand your reasoning behind it. Please jump into the community (community.baserow.io) so that we can get some feedback and see if/when it makes sense to build a desktop application for Baserow. See you there! - Hiram MO Malcolm O. CPO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Promising product, but not yet competitive to alternatives" May 17, 2023 3.0 Pros It is open source, and can be used both hosted and self-hosted Cons There are many basic features missing when compared to Airtable, such as Group By. The product also seems a bit slow to iterate and add these key features, which have been requested for more than 1 year ago. Alternatives considered [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) Switched from [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) Cost. Open source / self-host option. Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Hey Malcolm, Thanks for taking the time to review Baserow! Aside from "Group by," what are some other features you'd like to see? We've seen more community feedback around "Group By," so that may end up moving up on the roadmap. Feel free to jump into the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io) for more feature requests/suggestions. - Hiram BT Brandon T. Math Tutor Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very solid base to low-code platform" May 16, 2023 5.0 Pros Very quick to spin up a db and strong integrations with tools like n8n, so sky really is the limit. Cons can't think of anything. n/a............ Review Source Response from Baserow May 25, 2023 Thanks, Brandon! Cheers to open source. - Hiram Similar Products Featured
