I am not responsible for knowing how to change the back end of knack, but I know that a lot of changes are made on a normal basis that make this system extremely versatile and adaptable to our needs as a company.
I dislike the visual aspect. I think it could be a lot more modern/aesthetically pleasing to the user.
We manage almost all of our program information in Knack, and there is honestly more information in there than I know how to access, but I know that every department uses knack for different reasons and all of it is kept well organized.
I like the easy-to-find different features at the top of the page
I dislike the default setting of 25 entries per page because it sometimes seems like it's not all there
We are solving the problem of allowing students access to a user friendly portal to enroll
I do not know any coding and I am able to create custom solutions for my business anytime I want. I have tried other platforms online but this is by far the easiest to use.
Some customization require coding knowledge. Ecommerce is still under development.
I have created multiple applications from an online store / marketplace to real estate CRM, database of properties and some experimental apps.
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.
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.
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.
We really like how Knack lets us completely tell the marketing team what we want created so it takes away the back and forth and makes it easy for everyone to understand the mission at hand.
There is nothing we dislike. I guess maybe the only thing that can be changed would be the ability to have a dashboard and see what you have Knacked previously.
The biggest problem is the lack of the communication between sales and marketing. With both departments so overloaded with work Knack eliminates 100 back and forth emails.
Knack helped our team build app-based tables for client management. It was really fast to build detailed database, forms, and reports.
Support time could be better. Occasionally changes are made and it breaks parts of it. When multiple users and access the same data it can be frustrating. Having a better testing option before pushing live would be better.
We use Knack to build a database of clients. We use it to collect, report and manage them. It is much cheaper than hiring a developer.
This truly is a customizable software which makes it incredibly user friendly. I like being able to make this exactly what I'm looking for.
The app glitches a bit. It could use some updating.
I previously used this for my side-hustle business in which I sell multiple types of products. It helped me be organized in order to keep my accounting reporting correct. It helped me see where I'm actually making money and where I should be focusing more of my efforts on. I stopped using it because I stopped focusing on this side-hustle as much and didn't want to put more money into it where I didn't have to.
Very easy to use and can be customized without any difficulty. Price is very reasonable.
I feel customer support should be more effective.
Time and money is saved as there is no code involved.
The ease of use and the short learning curve. The pricing The ability to combine a database with a website very quickly
The rate at which new features are rolled out. The inability to run workflows at the database level as opposed to on the interface/website level.
We run our organizational development pipeline. Engagements database, budgeting system, and contacts database all on Knack. The tables all speak to one another.
The UI is explicit and performance in database storage overcomes hassles of taking up large online spaces.
There is no such drawback that I could analyze about the product and its features.
The fundamental factor of timid storage of large datatypes has been a key solution with use of the product
