InstaDB is a low-level and low-code database development platform. It is not focused on fancy features used only in very limited cases. Instead, it gives you the tools to quickly build the database you need. All the built-in tools are as generic-yet-useful as possible to let you use them in a vast range of different situations. Low-code means that you don't need to hand code to build a database. But we know the value of hand written code and give you an option to use SQL or PHP & JS extensions. ## What is InstaDB used for?

JK Jerzy K. boss Medical Practice ### "I am very happy, very helpful, I recommend!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 2, 2017 It facilitates the work of the entire therapeutic team, facilitates and accelerates the decision-making process in the care and treatment of our patients!

JA Jarek A. CTO Information Technology and Services ### "Superb. I really like InstaDB and my whole team uses it." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 28, 2017 Time Tracking Storage Management Easy to export to Excel Stability Speed Pros Stability - I've been using it for years with no problems. Security - it helps me keep track of time used for different projects, logged by different users. Everything is saved and can be retraced and checked. No chance to get the same level of confidence in a shared Excel file. Customizable - I was able to personally add additional fields to time tracking. For power users this system is very flexible. Does what it's supposed to do. Plain and simple. And it does it fast. Jira is nice, but is extremely slow. Whenever I have a choice, I prefer to use InstaDB. Cons UI is plain - personally I like clean apps, but some folks might find it not as pretty. Non-programmers won't be able to fully utilize this software. That said it's still very useful to normal users. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Just choosing column names and types gives you advanced reporting and filtering, export, management and many more capabilities that you would have to implement yourself if you used other products. Cons Graphic design could be a little more modern and mobile-friendly, but it is a small issue that does not get in the way.

Would be good to have a function of limited Admin rights, e.g. comments can be added by everyone, but the table or particular item cannot be deleted without Admin permission. - tutorial needed on how to built e.g. tables with different functions Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
