La simplicité de partage des applications avec les utilisateurs.
L’éditeur de formulaires et l’absence de possibilité d’imprimer des étiquettes.
Par exemple: je suis tombé en panne de système d’encaissement pour mon commerce, et en deux jours j’ai créé une application qui m’a permis non seulement de simplifier le processus d’encaissement mais également d’économiser 2 à 5000 € pour en acheter un nouveau.
You can quickly build a useful application and then refine while it's in use. The resulting application works on literally any platform.
It is difficult to to do offline development and update a production version of the applicaiton.
Customer Relationship Management, Project Management, Compliance Management.
Easy to learn, intuitive, multi platform
Calendar must be a form to create new records not just to see them
quick standardized estimates, purchasing orders and invoices
The flexibility of the software allowed me to start with a simple database to support my son’s customer focused business, which is Tree Surgery, and to refine it later into a more complex model. The system now includes his customers, work lists, risk management, invoicing and accounts. A simple dashboard gives accurate up to date information, vital for work planning and financial management. We use the calendar, with colour coded text for daily work planning and emails linked to buttons for quotes, invoices and receipts.
The calendar can get cluttered and the facility to have more than one calendar available would be useful. If individual calendars could be created for example for quotes, work lists and plant maintenance due dates, would add a potentially very live feature.
The Tree Surgery business requires good customer interaction linked to good risk management work records. Ninox has allow us to the create tables, views and printed reports to support the essentials of our business. Using historical records we can now provide more detailed analysis of current work loads and monitor the financial impacts of business decisions. By creating tables for hazards, risks and method statements and linking these to individual jobs we are reducing the risks to staff and customer in what is potentially a high risk business. Accurate records for purchases and well as invoices means we have better control of finances and a live view of tax due.
I have no coding background at all, but nonetheless I started using Ninox a few years ago because they claimed this was a no-code platform. And it was indeed. Soon I started creating my first database for clinical purpose (I am a psychologist and I run a consulting studio in the neurodevelopmental diseases area). Very shortly after I started coding within my "app" and now, a few years later, my whole activity is run in Ninox, testing included.
As I need more and more fields for certain applications (sometimes 200+ fields...), it would be great if Ninox allowed to modify many fields at once, as well as duplicating fields. Writing code on an iPad sometimes is a bit struggling too...
No more need to score tests by hand, because the whole process happens automatically in Ninox as I administer my tests. Of course each one of them passed several steps of double-checking to make sure no error in the code was made... My whole database of patients now stands in Ninox, and everything I did by hand before now it's just a click away.
It's easy to understand, like an empty form, they enter data into the field and can fully understand what is happening there. You can make changes to the structure and easily extend it.
There are not so many output (for printing) layout options. It is not possible to use PDF templates or vector graphics. However, this is imported to print good documents for a customer.
The complete back office.
I am an architect and I don't know much about coding. With other software I was always missing some functions and now in a way I can 'code' what I need myself. It's excellent and it is continuously improving, the webinars are extremely helpful, the support team is very friendly and competent. I am deeply impressed and grateful!
There is nothing I dislike ... but if I may recommend an improvement, it would be a 'facelift' to make the user interface (icons, colour scheme, etc.) more appealing.
As my business is growing I was losing the overview referring my contacts / contracts / orders / budgets and Ninox helps me efficiently to manage my bigger, longer, more complex lists of customers and service providers.
It is so quick and easy to produce a working database. I migrated a MSAccess database into Ninox quickly and immediately saw an improvement in ease of use. Very happy with Ninox support who answer promptly and efficiently.
Only the documentation which is slightly lacking.
Many: I plan church services, follow my bank accounts, record health data and many others!
The flexibility and the plenty of features
Not really something.. I only wish some more features on the system that I am sure will come.. Like for example triggers on delete or trigger on field focus...
Inventory management for a big fast food chain
Powerful yet intuitive and totally reliable - our business is based on it
Absolutely nothing - , easy to learn, easy to use and very reliable
Ninox is the platform for our business which helps schools all over the world with their educational technology strategies. The data base holds all information on products, benchmarks etc for our distributed team
The simplicity, the easy coding language, the elegant interface, the very powerful table views
I don't dislike any aspect of the app at all
I purchased the Mac standalone app recently - I run a therapy practice (jamesearl.com) and have written a one-to-many relational DB to connect sessions to clients - so much more elegant than FileMaker, easier to use, more powerful in table view - plus, so much cheaper! 5 stars
As a new user/beginner it is easy to get started, but it continues to get more powerful as one gets more advanced. The support from both Ninox and the fast growing group of worldwide users is fantastic. Simple integration with Integromat and Zapier add to its power.
Setting up fields and tables can be a little slow. Documentation is quite weak.
Accounting Book keeping CRM Record keeping
We has used ninox for our childcare organisation for a year now and we are very happy for the system. It was very easy to setup and we can manage everything needed in ninox - even our bankstatements is possible to import. When we write to customer service they are quick to reply and always in a very polite way.
It would be good if records could have linksharing...
With ninox we keep all costumer records. Easy to work with and easy to manage team members (read and write roles)
Without profound programming knowledge, I managed to "program" my own booking database for our boat renting business. And whenever I didn't know what to do next, the Ninox support helped me out. Super fast and super friendly.
I would love to learn more about programming the functions, so the only thing I dislike is my own ignorance :-)
I have an overview over our bookings, including the human resources, benefits and costs and organization and planning and all that in one program. The more I learn, the better it gets.
What I really appreciate is the very helpful support, the great community, the new modern design and that the plattform has "no limits" - and the very affordable prices.
There is some potential für new functions (at print layout, code editor or mobile app), but ninox already has this points on their roadmap and is working on it. They is launching new features on a regular basis.
I already tested and worked with many different business apps and plattforms to digitalize small and medium sized companies, but all of them were lacking in functionality, flexibility or pricing - too inflexible, complex, or expensive. With ninox it is possible to easily develop individual business apps that exactly meet the needs of SME (and bigger companies) with very few code - also if you are not a programmer (as me too). And there are no limits: you can start with easy apps like time tracking or an easy CRM and also build a complete ERP including billing, project management, inventory management and much more - with ninox it is possible to digitalize practically all business processes of companies in nearly all branches and company sizes.
Very easy to use to design a relational database. You can design beautiful screens and tables. Put all your important information in one place, as opposed to having multiple spreadsheets.
The documentation is lacking for writing codes for complex design.
I have combined all my financial information and references in one database
I'm not an IT person and with Ninox I built a database for my whole company in less than a week. If you follow the youtube videos its really easy to build a database. It's saved our company £thousands. Also you have to wait months for a system to be developed but this took me a week. Also if you get a system developed privately, they take a week just to make one modification you request- Whereas, The help desk at Ninox come back to you straight away.
I honestly don't have any criticisms of this system.
The calendar helps us know where our workers are everyday and what jobs they are doing. Its help us organise invoices and worker schedules and storing all our info in one place.
Ease of use, flexibility and time saver.
Cost for the cloud solution. Need more tutorials on the product - for beginners.
CRM for a non profit. Managing my finances and organising my "stuff"
I am a complete novice and Ninox was quite easy to figure out initially. Questions arose as I dug a bit deeper and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to set up a 15-min Zoom consult. Two consults later and I am all set, up and running, and have a powerful tool at my disposal.
The only dislike I have is my lack of knowledge. However, I have found free tutorials on YouTube and am slowly working through them all. https://www.youtube.com/c/NinoxLearning/videos?view=0&sort=da&flow=grid
I had trouble understanding relationships between tables; however, a quick consult sorted out my concerns and I now have two tables working together as hoped.
Easy concept while deep possibilities to develop every need you have
Ninox is starting and like all that starts...but the community is strong and support great
New ERP in my company, a trading with 4-5 M turnover. Thanks to Ninox we could organise better, quicker and in the minimum time as implementation has been easy
Click on a phone number field and Ninox asks if you want to phone that contact. Click on a location field and it shows a map for you to select the location. Both of these are things mobile device users are familiar with but I have not seen when using Access or MySQL. Database templates aimed at common business situations. Easy to use - I made a database in less than 30 minutes without having to check the manual. Lets you invite other people and set their level of access. Its cloud based so you can share stuff without having a website of your own.
A new scripting language (NX) to learn. The way it links tables is not yet clear to me - I am used to selecting primary keys and foreign keys myself. The data entry forms is something I need to explore further.
I used it as part of my teaching on a HND (undergraduate level) course and it allowed my students to see an alternative to Access and MySQL, and helped when it came to evaluating these systems.
It's so flexible to do whatever I need and navigating between my tables of linked data couldn't be easier. Also, there are so many online video tutorials to really help you get up to speed on using the product. It's great! I've tried other "easy" web based DB builders. None of them compare - NINOX nailed it!
Ninox support seems to be lacking complete documentation for the programming language that can be used to make Ninox really powerful. You can add code to formula data, display filters, etc. You don't need to know all this when you first get started, but once you start really tweaking your setup to make it work better you realize adding a bit of code here and there just starts making things amazing! I'd like to be able to browse the complete documentation for the programming language, with examples, so I can learn to do more. Also, while the training videos are great, they videos allude to some other videos that don't appear to be available. Certain advanced topics are missing that would be great if they had some more videos.
I finally have a CRM tool that is so so very useful to my needs. I literally have tried building out my specific CRM needs in 6 other applications and Ninox is the first one that lets me do exactly what I need - AND it's fast! No lagging around waiting for pages to load and having to back track to get to data. Open up any table view and if it has linked data somewhere else I can immediately get to it. It makes doing research in my own data just amazingly easy and fast!
Ninox is a strong solution to quickly answer business needs based on data and processes to automize. Rich language for a no-code solution, which allow to address each business issues. Good community and amazing quick reactions on support questions.
UX and Reports are not so much flexible but you can tweak them and get what you need in a very short time.
Business solutions based on data and processes. Agile developments, very customized and easy to maintain and to add new business rules
simplicity and power of the application.
manual lacking, but good forums/videos..
workflow in office, financial and work orders but will look at other applications. ability to use mobile platform instantly is powerful
I have been creating database systems for a Charity NINOX the security of date GDPR etc this was most important to us. The customer service is excellent and Pricing very reasonable in comparison to other similar cloud databases. Because we are a charity NINOX kindly offered to extend our trial period and we are very grateful for this, many thanks to the NINOX team.
At this time there doesn't seem to be anything about NINOX but I am very new to creating any kind of databases and I'm sure I might have a few difficulties in the future but the training, information, and support seem to be there so we will see as I progress on my new learning curve.
Some of our charity systems need to be easily accessible in all areas of operation from client's information, bookkeeping, funding, volunteer and staff information, training, our activities, registrations, and Birthdays.
geringe Programmierkenntnisse erlauben in einer vorher nicht genannten Geschwindigkeit vorhandene Ideen in lauffähige Applikationen zu verwandeln die zu 100% den vorhandenen Prozessen angepasst werden können. Ungeahnte Flexibilität, nahezu das komplette Code Portfolio von c+ mit einer super Api, einem tollen Forum und sehr kompetenten Supportteam. So geht lowcode programming heute! Wir haben damit Prozesse optimieren können, mehrere MAK eingespart und die Kundenzifriwdenheit um ein vielfaches steigern können.
Dokumentation teilweise nur in Englisch.
Die offene Api, Die Cloudfähigkeit, die import/export Funktionen, einfach fast alles an Ninox ist wichtig und gut.
It's that simple to make it work, and whenever I encountered any challenge, the team was eager to support me. As an analog native with some basic knowledge of database design I was able (with a little help from my friends!) to build a requirements tracking tool that convinced all team mates to make use of it. It was fast, simple, logical and it made fun!
A good high level tutoral would make sense
We realized a very lean requirements tracking tool for a extremely heterogenous team spread all over Europe
The functionality that I can write my own system based on our needs. Also the ease of use and many tutorials on Youtube. Well done Ninox!! The support from Ninox is superb.
Nothing really, it might have been nice to have more features to customize the user interface, but most probably I don't know the system well enough yet to do it.
I could not find software applicable to our manufacturing system( within our budget) and had to get software engineers to develop a custom system. The cost was huge and time-consuming to get done.
What i like most, is the facility to create fields and tables to the database. Always syncronized with the cloud version, i use the two ways, web and android version in my phone. The programming language is very simple. Very Dinamic!
nothing, i believe that will be much better in the future, with new improvements. The reports, must be more easy to edit. Programming examples, should have more to learn developing ninox. Should have a installer to windows SO. And language portuguese is missed, and is very important to be present, in next updates.
I use the software at my work, and to my own business.
Without a doubt the customer service experience that Ninox provides is amazing. For such a young firm (only 7 years old) the support they give is first class. I have been very impressed with my interactions with Jörg Mathews and Birger Hansen. Outstanding is all I can say.
My lack of knowledge but I'm learning more all the time with great support.
I'm helping friends in business move away from spreadsheets to multi dimensional database. It's a big learning curve for me, I know there are better ways to do things.
