### "Great platform"

May 4, 2015

5.0

Seriosuly, this platform is AWESOME. Very well tought and well designed. Everything is where it should be. I was able to build a small but not so simple app in 30 mins. Had I created everything by myself it would have taken me a whole week and slepless nights of debugging. Amazing platform. I really hope see them growing in something even more sophisticated.

### "Knack helps us deliver great customer service"

June 27, 2016

5.0

This software has enabled my company to increase customer service by embedding databases in our website and thus allowing our customers to look up complicated information in an easy way.

Pros

Its easy of use (the team that build our databases are no experts at all!), and the fact we can embed the databases in our website.

Cons

To create a multi-level navigation menu with the current feature set, we need to apply some work arounds to make it do what we want.

### "best online database app out there"

March 6, 2015

5.0

When I discovered our previous online database system was closing its doors I started searching for a replacement. I signed up for every free demo for every online database program I could find. After a year and half of searching and demo-ing other programs I found Knack. It is an awesome product. I have very happy with the intuitive build interface. One of the biggest reasons I went with Knack was the the pricing structure. Don't waste your time with any other online database out there like I did.

Pros

\- pricing model - ease of use - mobile device friendly (no mobile apps needed) - powerful - responsive support team

Cons

\- a few, very minor bugs here and there, but let them know what you find and they will fix it - relatively newer company so future is a little unsure (compared to other more established competitors)

### "Not worth it. There are better solutions out there."

September 11, 2017

2.0

I didn't find it helpful.

Pros

It is relatively easy to use, otherwise I didn't notice anything outstanding, anything what would be worth mentioning here.

Cons

I found it very limiting as it can handle only very basic tasks. I also didn't like that there is no mobile application. The way it displays on mobile device is very clumsy. Customer support is so so.

### "Database application for small businesses"

November 24, 2022

4.0

User friendly but less customer support

Pros

It's a fast and effective for small e- commerce businesses. For a developer it's easy to use as it's less code or no code tool.

Cons

Has limitation in tool usage and proper tutorials of demonstration is not available

### "Knack 2016"

December 8, 2016

4.0

Knack has been a useful product. I find it to be helpful to small and medium-sized clients who want a database without the high price tag.

Pros

Knack has a good user interface and is a lower price point for databases of this type. They have very good service and the online chat help is excellent.

Cons

I have found that we need developers to do work that I would not call high level but this assistance does ramp up the relatively low cost of the product. This happens with almost every database, but I was hoping Knack would be different.

### "Knack Review"

June 28, 2016

5.0

I need an online database system that provides intuitive design features, real database functionality and a user friendly GUI. In addition, I need a system that allows for the implementation of business rules and workflow. Knack is the only system I could find that provides all of this at a very competitive price.

Pros

Database functionality, such as primary and foreign keys that actually work.

Cons

Interface and reports can be more design friendly without having to use CSS or Javascript.

### "Easy way to get mobile access to a cloud database."

June 26, 2016

5.0

We're a small landscaping company. We use knack so our crews can look up their client calls for the day on the go. We also use it for crew timesheets.

Pros

Great mobile access/interface.

Cons

We wish we had fuller access to the underlying database. The existing interface is acceptable, but it would be nice to have full SQL query access for power users.

### "Overall quite impressed"

November 13, 2017

4.0

Pros

Once you've got everything figured out (specifically linking different objects) it's very easy to use. There are quite a few useful features.

Cons

Sometimes the software is glitchy when it comes to importing .csv documents. Things won't load and then you'll have to restart the whole process.

### "Great. Knack did exactly what I wanted. "

May 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

It allowed me to easily customize a website to allow multiple users to enter information without having a pay account.

Cons

You have to program yourself. I'm not the most technical person so this takes some time. Only training will help.

### "Knack it up!"

January 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

Super easy to get going (it is the most intuitive interface). Price by number of apps instead of by user works well with our company. Powerful features including, for instance, users logging in by their Google+ or Facebook profile (single sign on). I have not run into any bugs.

Cons

You can't adjust the presentation layer (the website) as much as, say, Caspio. You can change some things like colors and basic layout, but most of the CSS is fixed. Their formulas are very weak. They only allow basic functions, especially for manipulating text. For formulas, I found Airtable to be much better.

### "Good Product to Build your Own Website"

December 12, 2018

4.0

Over we decided not to use knack as there were other softwares out there that better suited our needs.

Pros

For someone whose never built a website this is about as easy as it gets.

Cons

I wish there were more display options.
