What is Knack?

"Awesome database builder"
What do you like best about Knack?

I like that knack is intuitive and easy to learn how to use, it offers a lot of possibilities when configurating your objects, fields, actions . It also has a great knowledge base and a community with useful solutions when you are trying to customize your app even further. You can do lots of things without the need of coding which is awesome and if you do need coding and are not experienced you can find help in the community center. From all the database builders that I tried ( and it was quite a few) knack was the best. Support is also good

What do you dislike about Knack?

It lacks a feature here and there that I see myself in need sometimes but I can submit it for the team to review and add to their list of improvements. The support is good, but I have a feeling that it could be better.

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

Now I have all my business information in one place. From construction site measures to proposals, invoices, control of emails sent, past dues, vehicles documents, bills, almost everything.

"Swiss Army Knife for Our Department Needs"
What do you like best about Knack?

Knack provides a relational database integrated with an online form development environment. The pricing for Knack for a corporate non-profit is very reasonable and allows for enough development and production space as part of the package. The ability to integrate with my organization's identity management system is a must. Knack help is pretty responsive. I like that the company seems to be constantly innovating.

What do you dislike about Knack?

Would like a SQL tool that would allow for more robust queries. Would like some more flexibility around deleting parent views without deleting child views especially login screens. Would like some more flexibility around layout. Need more work with scheduling - the availability of blackout dates would be very useful.

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

Key assignment and checkout for our 200+ department; workflow solutions integrated with organization's identity management; development environment that does not involve a huge learning curve. Ability to share data in embedded web pages - gather data in one palce and then display in another. Am using the API to extract data from a table to import into an Oracle database - the frontend development is just so much easier and the API is fairly easy to use.

"Knack best database software"
What do you like best about Knack?

Knack helps us create an app based on tables just like Microsoft access. Its easy to use and anyone can make an app instantly which can run on any device seamlessly. The most attractive part is they allow us to use custom codes and they do not charge based on app users.

What do you dislike about Knack?

I did not come across anything which I could dislike.

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

I wanted to create a software and was looking for developers, it was proving to be costly. So I tried looking for no code software creator apps and I stumbled upon Knack. It kept my costly low and helped me create a prototype. It also helped me bring a structure to my idea.

"Outstanding Platform That Will Change How You Work"
What do you like best about Knack?

The USABILITY and simplicity of the product. You can be up and running in under and hour and develop the product on the fly.

What do you dislike about Knack?

Lack of easy backup to prevent mistakes.

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

We eliminated many paper processes, enabled tracking and accountability, micro-managed approval of expenses, and are able to report in real time or on a weekly/monthly basis. Track expenses, employee approvals, dollar amounts, report performance, handle time off requests... If you can build it, your users will love it.

"Simple and easy"
What do you like best about Knack?

It gives me the flexibility to modify and make changes on the fly. I can build all sorts of apps to work with our business.

What do you dislike about Knack?

I think the graphics could be better on the front end. If you want to highlight a row based on one value, you have to select each column and set it up that way. Linking the objects is a little confusing. I would like to be able to select what fields I want to match in order to link a table but I guess it is not designed to do that.

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

I have built an IT help desk site for managing tickets, new hires, and IT services. I have built an app for our sales admin teams to manage incoming orders for equipment. Based on what we are currently paying for we have definitely saved a lot of money compared to putting in our own server and doing our own development or finding another service.

"I couldn’t do it without Knack"
What do you like best about Knack?

It’s so flexible, from the simpler stuff to getting bespoke code made specifically for my industry. Knack is a great fit for a variety of different business challenges

What do you dislike about Knack?

A big piece of my operations are in Europe so time zones are sometimes difficult to work do. It’s a minor issue.

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

I built several apps, one with over 50 tables and lots of information. Whilst the app has lots of complexity with Knack I can break that down to make quick changes when needed. Speed of development is important. My team loves that we can get things done quickly for them.
