Sky is the Limit

Fantastic. We had worked to solve problems for no less than 24 months prior to our introduction to knack. From the time we started with knack we had a minimum viable internal product within 90 days and a customer facing web-portal (providing sales, project, and invoice detail) in 180 days. With knack we have have saved an immeasurable amount of time and resource.

Functionality

Pros:

Very simple to solve for Secure, HIPPA, PCI compliant user logins. Ability to pivot large data-set with simplified permission based views - no incremental expense for additional users / views / roles.

Cons:

Support. Our reliance on knack is significant in pre-sale functions and as a result, when it breaks we have always defined the solution (or created the work-around) several days before a knack tech gets around to responding to our requests.

Reasons for choosing Knack

'record' versus 'user' based rates.

Reasons for switching to Knack

Zoho (circa 2017) ran slow, profiles/roles difficult to provision, integrations broke regularly (though this could be the fault of zapier or integromat).

Great Zero Code Front End App

I really enjoy it. It can serve so many functions. It's a great tool that I wouldn't want to be without. Support has been great as well, and they are constantly working on new features. It's affordable as well. I think the price is a massive win and what help prevents us from even shopping around.

Functionality

Pros:

It's flexible, but not so much that you lose control. It's a great tool to get a project up and running very quickly, but can support a lot of more detailed interaction with Flows and the API.

Cons:

It's sometimes complicated to do complicated actions between tables, but if you have the cash, Flows will allow you to do it without too much complication.

Reasons for choosing Knack

Didn't do what Knack does for us. Had some cool features, but lacked more than it added.

Functionality

Pros:

Sounds like it might be easy to use, could obscure a lot of development detail.

Cons:

Didn't really get a chance to use it, and forgot to cancel within the 30 day window. OK, I'm out $25, my fault and I don't have a problem with that. So I reply to one of their inquiry, follow up sales emails, say I need to cancel, I can't use it, WELL within the second ( the first PAID ) month that I am subscribed. So I assume they might refund the first month out of goodwill, but of course they are not obligated so I don't mind if they don't. But -- fun news-- despite TWO emails in that 2nd month requesting cancellation, ( I am not using it and not loading their servers or using their tech support in any way whatsoever, it cost them zero to have me subscribed and not even logging on) They Bill me for a SECOND subscription month , because i didn't go through some "cancellation process". If they are too dumb to prefer the extra $25 they scrounged off me to maintaining good will public image, I can't imagine they have personalities I want to deal with long term.

There's a KNACK to it!

I have created a number of applications in Knack over the last 3 or 4 years. I am not a 'tekkie' but I have a consulting/process background and I find it reasonably easy to create at least the basic infrastructure of apps and I have a Knack 'expert' who completes the work You may want to think about making standard apps available for a number of quality management areas like quality management, risk management, compliance management et al. I have created a number of them as I found whats on the market to be expensive and not really flexible enough. Just a thought. Happt to discuss

Pros:

1 You dont need to be a developer to create apps in Knack. I like how easy it is to create Objects/Fields and then with Pages which makes it easy to construct screen views 2. Role based access complements workflow and embeds process responsibilities 3. Built in Reporting using graphics /click throughs 4 Online access makes it easy rather than having an in-house team supporting an instal version 5 Security - very important in my case in Healthcare - and ability to configure

Cons:

I get periods of latency - Im in the UK so it might be a server location issue. Not a huge issue but one you should be aware of

Reasons for choosing Knack

1 Ease of use - no code knowledge required 2 Flexibility - I can build what I need from a range of features/functionality 3 SaaS - easy to set up and go 4 Priced competitively

Pros:

We have been using Knack for the last two years, and making websites on Knack is super easy. The new feature, "Flow," is going to get us super excited. It also provides various helpful features to automate workflows. Knack can integrate with various other tools, so it makes it more handy.

Cons:

Sometimes, people may find it difficult, but if we have invested time in our designing part, then it is very easy to work and design the app on Knack. If you are not able to implement any functionality with the help of the given features, you can also write your code, and it blends very well with the app. The thing that I am missing that it does not allow to copy the components between different apps. You can copy an app but you can not copy a component from an app into other app.

Amazing! Knack is really easy to use to build your database application.

The first time I used Knack about 10 years ago, I never considered myself a programmer and did struggle setting up my first application. One of the Knack team members offer to copy and make some tweaks to my app to get my going. If you need any assistance, their support team is great. Always quick and will work until the problem is resolved.

Pros:

Knack offers a highly customizable platform that can be tailored to a wide range of needs, making it adaptable as our organization grows or changes, providing the flexibility we need. The discounted pricing for non-profits is a major plus, helping us stay within budget while tracking the data we need to manage projects and grants. The built-in ability to schedule events is a great time-saver, streamlining our workflow and replacing Eventbrite; this allows us to manage both the event and project together. Knack appears to be an all-in-one solution to date, offering us the potential to consolidate multiple tools we currently use, simplify processes, and reduce the need for separate systems.

Cons:

While powerful and flexible, Knack has a steep learning curve. It can take time to understand its full capabilities and set up complex workflows, especially for users without prior experience (members of our team) in database or app-building platforms.
