Knack is a no-code development platform that lets businesses build simple web apps and online databases. The platform lets users import data from spreadsheets or define it from scratch. From there, users can build interfaces to display and manage that data using elements like forms, tables, and searches. Apps can be easily embedded into any website and then further styled or manipulated via jQuery.

Quick to build on with a very good no-code UI.
Terrible reliability and support. Regular system failures (API 504 timeouts) which are invariably attributed to "other apps" on the same server taking up all server resources. This has been going on for years. In every case, we detect failure before Knack does, and it takes hours or even days to resolve. The only solution they offer is to spend ~10x more on a "private server" so we won't suffer from the fundamental flaws in their multi-tenant architecture. STAY AWAY.
We wanted to get to market quickly, which we did. But now we have a dependency on a fundamentally unreliable component.
Customization, The idea of things sound good but the implementation is quite difficult.
Difficult to use. customer support is crazy slow. The program is expensive and doesn't make much sense.
We are trying to organize a sports league and it's good for allowing people to see teams and coaches but there are several issues with the payment system linking.
