When you save 1 lay out for print, i cannot use it for other databases.
It is better that you can save own templates.

Vorteile

The price,
the backup,
the distribution

Nachteile

De NX language is complex in use. I am an experienced VBA programmer but in Ninox I have many problems.

Vorteile

Ease of use and with the help of their partner company, Ninoxus, it is a great value and user friendly

Nachteile

I did need a jump start on some minor issues but the helper company, Ninoxus, was extremely helpful.

Vorteile

I really liked how easy and fast it is to build database-driven applications with this software. I really liked how easy and fast it is to build database-driven applications with this software.
Its GUI is very intuitive and helps you in designing tables and various properties.

The system its very stable you can trust in NINOX and your team. The Support is excellent.

Nachteile

Nothing!!! You only need think in your needs and make your database. Its fantastic NO CONS you can trust.

Vorteile

Easy of use and programming, best support ever ! Rough and strong database, sync and cloud work for Teams. Really good iPad app.

Nachteile

User interface in the forms could be more attractive and functional, CRM integration under development. Tables relationships are not bi-directional.

Vorteile

The ability to customize almost every part of the program. From start to print view.
The added signature field is nice so that we can have security in agreeing with our customers to save them and us from legal issues.

Nachteile

Maybe a little better user interface. More style to the look of the program.
Little better design controls in print view.

Vorteile

Ease of use, intuitive nature of the interface is great. Don't need to learn database-code. Ability to make forms is great!

Nachteile

Poor documentation / help; need more examples, more examples related to specific functions. Despite no need to know coding, would like to learn so need more examples of how each function works.

Vorteile

Sert d'objet de saisie de données et l'intégration

Nachteile

Le logiciel bouffe énormément en matière de forfait internet

Vorteile

C'est la première fois que je dispose d'un système qui me permet de créer mes processus métier rapidement et facilement

Nachteile

Le design est un peu démodé à mon goût mais rien de grave

Vorteile

Il est hautement configurable, il y a de nombreuses fonctions. Des fonctions personnalisées simples sont possibles

Nachteile

Peut être difficile au départ à comprendre et à mettre en œuvre des fonctionnalités plus avancées et puissantes

Vorteile

La facilità di utilizzo iniziale. Le potenzialità di utilizzo futuro.Chiunque può creare dei database di base con Ninox. Attraverso il Drag & Drop è possibile creare tabelle, tab e campi di varia natura.Per chi avesse bisogno di App più complesse sono messi a disposizioni tutti gli strumenti per poterlo fare. Con la conoscenza delle funzioni e del linguaggio di programmazione di Ninox è possibile creare infinite possibilità e App che permettono di gestire dati importanti e situazioni complesse.

Nachteile

La mancanza di personalizzazione della grafica. Ninox non permette di personalizzare come si vuole la propria App se non in modo minimale, come ad esempio cambiare il colore di fondo o aggiungere un’immagine di fondo.Manca anche la possibilità di inserire un pulsante che è visibile per tutti i tab presenti in una tabella.Manca la possibilità di copiare ed incollare qualsiasi oggetto (campo, pulsante, testo, ecc…) per velocizzare il lavoro. Quindi bisogna creare exnovo un oggetto e copiare poi eventuali formule e impostazioni per poter avere due o più oggetti uguali. Inoltre non è permesso dare a questi nomi uguali (eccetto per alcuni oggetti come l’oggetto testo) anche quando si potrebbe.

Warum Ninox gewählt wurde

Ho deciso di passare a Ninox quando le mie esigenze sono aumentate. Non avevo più bisogno di un semplice database ma di un vero e proprio software che mi permettesse di analizzare e utilizzare i dati in modo personalizzato.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Ninox

Ho preferito Ninox esclusivamente per i costi elevati di FileMaker. Ho rinunciato a qualcosa, come la personalizzazione delle App. Ma a livello monetaria ne è valsa la pena.

Vorteile

semplicità di utilizzo rispetto a tanti altri

Nachteile

forse dovrebbe costare un pò meno per poter raggiungere un maggior numero di clienti

Vorteile

At the beginning, it was a bit difficult to grasp the added value. But over time, you learn more and more and suddenly understand what the possibilities are.
I've already clicked together quite a few things, from small apps to calculation tools. So far, everything was possible and could be implemented in a few hours.
Importing data from existing documents is straightforward.
The table view makes it easy for long-time Excel users to find their way around.

Nachteile

First of all: there are many new features all the time. So I hope that the following points are already being worked on.

1) The export of PDFs leaves a lot to be desired. Currently no sub-tables can be listed in tables, font and cell formatting via HTML only works within tables, but not in freely set text fields. Multi-page documents are difficult to create. For example, it is not possible to specify that an object should be placed on the next page.
In tables you can only group by one value. It would be great if you could import e.g. .rdlc files.

2) There are some feature differences from the Mac app to the cloud version. Not only in obvious cloud functions like sending mail via send-grid.
E.g. there seems to be differences in the calculation order of loops.

3) Ninox uses its own language. This seems to be based on other languages, but not all functions or expressions work. But here I am an absolute beginner and don't want to evaluate this.

Vorteile

The platform is very easy to use. While never say never, I do not see using spreadsheets to maintain various pockets of information any longer. While I am a thirty (30) plus year IT professional, within minutes I was up and running.. and within hours to days, I built a rather complex application to manage my Statements of Work (SOWs) with links to company resources, rate card, et all. A quick "create view", and I had a kanban view of SOWs expiring in 30, 60, 90 days. The platform is very flexible and the REST/API is a huge plus for me.

Ninox Technical support is over the top. Free webinars, email support with response usually within 24 hours.. and a user forum with helpful and active participants (DISCLAIMER.. I am a participant)..

Having used other desktop relational database applications on both Windows and Mac OS.. Ninox was the platform I have been searching for!

Nachteile

Pretty much in order of discomfort..
1. As you can see from other reviews, the user documentation is lacking. At some points it is missing... and at other points it is just plain wrong. To mitigate this, the user forum is a great resource and several Ninox partners have published use case driven guides.

2. As a 30+ year IT professional, I had to adapt to the file based Ninox approach. While you do create "relations" between table objects, you have to rethink a bit of what you learned. Once you get the hang of it.. You are off to the races.

3. Even the local Mac App acts like "the web". Rows are committed on create.. then updated for each field update. This just takes some getting used to. On most of my applications, I add "buttons" to save/close the record so I can add data consistency logic (in global functions as must as possible). That logic is also repeated in "data verification" views so the user can scan for anomalies.

Vorteile

I simply like that the databases are essentially ready to use. As a longtime user of FileMaker Pro, I did tire of the too-simplistic interface of a new database (I avoided modifying templates--often more work) that required building up of numerous forms to get going (I still have a lot of raw looking FMP databases meaning ugly as I was not willing to put the time into making it look good. With Ninox, the standard database looks good, and the other forms also are all ready and easy to build, which I appreciate. The focus is on the data, as the bulk of interface work is complete.

Also, FMP has a cost for the web interface and syncing across devices, and Ninox makes it all so easy--this is greatly appreciated.

I have nearly completed an FMP to Ninox switch for my databases; the clincher for me was yet another FMP update requiring great cost, and my old version was no longer cleanly workable with the new OSX update (constant crashing and loss of data entry or import), and Ninox seemed as has been a more efficient use of my dollars for a database.

Nachteile

I wish there were constant or global fields allowed. As a college teacher, I import test results, and the first page is usually the answers, which I have to enter each result for the 25 questions and then "Update Multiple Records", and then "Assign Constant Value", but that is just a workaround fix, as the results are simply added to each record. If I have a student taking a late test (a regular occurrence), I have to then re-enter the answers and assign constant value again because it's not a global or constant field. If I am missing something, let me know.

Building calculations can be cumbersome with the many clicks across tabs to access the part you need; once I figure it out the pattern though I do switch to the text interface, and I'm glad that that's there.

Wishful thinking: I would love there to be a map interface (I use this for data from archaeological sites and location-specific data from interviews with indigenous elders and community members). Currently, I log UTM coordinates (Northing, Easting, Elevation) or Lat/Long, but I have to export those to see the distributions. A throw to a Google Maps screen or other interfaces would be quite neat and time-saving and useful for data analysis. I imagine others would like to see something similar for mapping locations using customer address fields or showing all customers throughout the country or something.

Vorteile

Flexibility is a huge part of the Ninox platform. Ninox has the power of a multi-relation, multi-platform, mobile, scriptable database. And it can also be an easy no-scripting data gathering tool. As a small business owner, my needs develop on a daily basis. Ninox is my secret weapon to managing them in-house. When I need an ad-hoc tool to evaluate , template, and organize lists or piles of data... Ninox. When I want to take that ad-hoc tool and turn it into a multi-user process...Ninox.

Nachteile

Steep structural learning curve. My experience with database systems began with D-Base4 on DOS. All of my previous databases were predicated on the idea that the record is not created until it is "entered". A Ninox record is entered when it is created. Adding data to it is an update. Here me know and believe me later... there is massive power in this approach. I was also concerned that my users would have problems understanding this, none of them have ever noticed. In this age of instant entry and not-saving, they think it is normal.

Vorteile

I use Ninox for both business and personal purposes. I love the flexibility of the platform which helps me get things done quickly.
The Ninox is the perfect and inexpensive solution I found to manage business workflow: CRM, invoices, documents management, collections, etc. I like most to easily create custom databases that fit my specific needs.

I can completely redesign the user interface to make data entry and management even faster and easier. Plus, I can add features like dynamic forms, conditional formatting, and calculation fields.

Nachteile

The no-code feature is OK for simple customization. But for more complex development, coding skill is necessary.

Vorteile

With Ninox, anyone can build their database in a very short time. I quickly understood how Ninox works. Even the Ninox scripting language is very easy to learn. I think this is the biggest plus that anyone can learn Ninox. Another advantage is that it works on all platforms and I don't have to adjust the input masks for the Ipad. The community is very helpful and also the support of Ninox helps everyone quickly with his problems. I have never before experienced such excellent support with any other software.

Nachteile

The documentation could still be improved especially for beginners. There should be more example videos what can be realized with Ninox because often the new users are surprised what can be realized with Ninox.

Vorteile

If this product went away, my business would suffer greatly. It is so flexible, and i can set it up to do exactly what i need it to do. I rely on the data in Ninox for most of my basic business functions, and it performs with speed and accuracy. I like that the software is resident and not fully cloud-based. I use it without a subscription since i am the only user, so it only costs me the time to set up or adjust a table.

Nachteile

Having customer support in Germany is a bit of a pain and can make for long turnaround times and translation issues for problem resolution. But fortunately the manual is fairly well laid out & explains most things in enough detail where some trial and error can get me to a workable solution.

Vorteile

It is an absolutely easy to use software for every kind of business, company, club or private use. With the powerful possibility given by the easy formula building blocks you can do almost everything with ninox. It rightly has customers like medical companies, industrial facilities, football clubs, photographers and a lot more. For my own business (wedding photographer) ninox do everything what I need. It saves all my customers, reminds me of important appointments, creates forms for all my correspondence, for my contracts, for the return of tax for the finance office, let me do my financial statement, gives me information about my year-end closing, scan barcodes, print labels, calculate the amount of customer orders, saves scans like model releases and bills and much more. Almost everything beneath the photography and image processing work is done with ninox.

With a really small amount of knowledge of "if then else" and general formula functionality you can find your own way to do whatever you like to. And if you get stuck, the ninox support is really fast, friendly and helpful. That makes ninox the perfect software for my whole small business.

Nachteile

I really needed a long time to find something about ninox that is worth to criticize. The start screen is not a beauty at all, but that's the smallest amount you work with. The most work to do is done in the single charts. So, what can I say what do I not like...phew...the printing layout is a little bit elaborately to copy to other printing forms. But ninox works already on this case.

Vorteile

Incredibly powerful. Amazing tech support. The feature set and functional capabilities of Ninox are the industry standard. Have used this platform to build entire ERP, CRM and HR Management systems for multi-billion dollar companies at a fraction of cost and time required by other solutions.

Nachteile

There is a bit of a learning curve. Ninox is not a "traditional" relational database management system... It is, in fact, much more. Was the best when I started using it two years ago and nothing even comes close today.

Vorteile

Relative ease of use, but most of all the cloud integration and having several people able to access and update it at the same time. I also like the fact its on a secure platform, removing a data protection issue from our office.

Nachteile

Trying to get to grips on how to integrate formulas, I also wish there was more flexibility with the Calendar, we have 90 odd consultants and when we put all of their project dates in its more or less unusable as a graphical representation of their busy and free periods.

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to create a database which is customised to your own needs. Also, it is great to be able to modify, add or remove any feature you want in just a few clicks. It's really easy to do so without being IT savvy.

Nachteile

The only thing I could mention is that there are still functions which I'd like it to have. For example, it would be great to be able to send attached pdf documents over email (as in click a button and have the document attached to an email which is ready to be sent). Hope they add this in the future.

Vorteile

Ninox is very modular. You can start simple and add more features later. It is very flexible for changing and adding possibilities.

Nachteile

For me there are no cons. Everything I tried so far I was able to do.

Vorteile

The functionality. Using the Ninox platform we have developed a database as part of our orphan care programme in Malawi. One of the key challenges in Malawi is flaky, often non-existent internet access. The Ninox software stands alone on multiple iPads so our nurses, with minimal training, can input data in rural villages. Back at the hospital when we get a good Wi-Fi signal the database synchronises automatically. This is pretty neat, we don't get data corruption or issues common with other products when duplicate data is input from different sources.

Nachteile

Just sorry we didn't find it years ago. Also sorry we wasted time looking at alternatives.

Vorteile

Easy to build powerful applications for every day use.
The software is quick and very scalable.
Frequent updates with new features.
I moved from Filemaker Pro to Ninox.
I rebuild my invoice system in Ninox in a couple of days.
The Filemaker version took weeks to build.

Nachteile

I like to have multiple databases open on the same time.
This is at this point only possible with the web version.
Developers told me it's coming in one of the next releases.

Vorteile

Ninox gave me the possibility to have a professional database, tailor-made for my company needs and daily upgradable on my own.

Nachteile

Probably an Italian language guide and/or the possibility to partecipate at some class would be appreciate for me that do not know programming and db management.

Vorteile

Simplicity of usage; great tutorials and community

Nachteile

Pricing, limited customization capabilities

Vorteile

The best thing about Ninox is the simplicity with which you can create business applications. With the existing templates, you can quickly create solutions tailored to your needs, even without database knowledge.

Nachteile

The Ninox surface could be a bit more modern, but according to Ninox this will be realized soon.

Vorteile

Its ease of use, its simplicity, versatility, processing speed, is really friendly. I liked the new capabilities with the new version of IOS 11.0. They are always improving it, it is also very stable. I am very happy with the product.

Nachteile

I would like to have more capacity to display information in the columns in the impressions area
Better integration with the calendar and that you could see more information from the calendar and incorporate alerts such as icons and colors for example.
To be able to establish a timeline
Improve document printing features

Vorteile

There are so many positives
Support - customer service agents are available and extremely helpful if there is a glitch or just a tweak needed
Easy to set up exactly what I need without any prior knowledge. Learning all the time how the different elements work together.
Time-saving because it is so logical
I now have all my various sections to hand, be it the contact database, the invoicing or the endless to-do lists it all flows together beautifully.
It feels like I am part of the dynamic development of the software.

Vorteile

The software has a lot of functionality which is not present in other products I did review. Ninox is easy to set up and has a lot of features you only find in much more expensive products. It is easy to use and as a Macintosh user since '84 that is an important feature what counts for me.
Developing and using on iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air and desktop Mac is one thing but without fuzz using it on other platforms is great!

Nachteile

So far the only cons I experience is missing the functionality to import images in a "batch" set up to match with records in the database where a field is reserved for an image.

Vorteile

The back up and support with this product is second to none. I have been taught how to use this database by the support team. The possibilities are endless and i always find the support team friendly, helpful and inviting to speak with

Nachteile

I would love an improved iOS version for th iphone but this is still a very small issue for me

Vorteile

Ninox provides lots of possibilities for quickly and easily modeling of business processes. User interface and administration functions are absolutely intuitive and easy to use. This product combined with an incredible responsive support team offers a great value for every SME. A big plus is that not only Mac users can benefit from this product. With Ninox's SAAS Service which comes at a very reasonable price all you need is a browser.

Nachteile

It would be great to have some sort of release strategy for your own Ninox-based database products. So you ship a release to your colleagues/clients and develop a new release without messing around with the live databases.

Vorteile

LO FACIL E INTUITIVO DE REALIZAR MI APLICACION PARA MI NECESIDAD

Nachteile

TIENE POCOS DISEÑOS Y FIGURAS AUNQUE ULTIMAMENTE YA TIENE ALGUNOS COLORES QUE HACEN MAS AGRADABLE A LA VISTA

Vorteile

So easy to pickup and use. Really quick to develop a business app which feels very empowering.

However that's pretty much where it ends

Nachteile

Too Mac centric, icloud as the sync option is ridiculous.

Struggles on server edition with medium sized data sets, filtering becomes very slow.

You cannot actually do much with your data, no real integration outside of Ninox.

Poor implementation of report design and printing which exposes too much to the end user.

Not enough separation between design and client use

Vorteile

After a small time of learning I could realize all I needed and the support is uncomparable.

Nachteile

I would like to have a designer to allow more easy configuration of colors, styles and more in the table view. Also the report-engine is not as sophisticated as in Filemaker. But overall it seems more easy to learn, is much better supported and also cheaper.

Vorteile

Easy to use for beginner and very quickly be productive

Nachteile

UI is simple but the minimaliste is a good way for beginner and pro.

Vorteile

It's a quick and simple tool to learn. It synchs (almost) seamlessly across two Mac computers, my iphone and my ipad. And when I get stuck on how to do something, Ninox' customer support team (though 7 time zones away) are really responsive and helpful.

Nachteile

The documentation leaves alot to be desired, particularly their scripting language. The tool is very simple to use and intuitive, but when you get to a point where you're creating custom fields, filters and rules, you have to know the Ninox scripting language, and that's where the documentation could use a little improvement. I'm not a programmer by trade, and the documentation seems to assume that users are.

Vorteile

It's very easy to use. I'm able to make what I want. I log hours, customers, projects and much more and can connect everything to everything. It's syncronizing very fast in the cloud. I feel I can rely on it. The way I can link the tables to each other is working like I want it to. So much easier then other database apps I have tried.

Vorteile

The ability to access in the field is a game changer. The live version is the only way to go and for the price it is a no brainer.

Nachteile

A manual with code examples would be very helpful. Customer service gets back with you very quickly when you have a problem.

Vorteile

Ninox makes it easy to build a ​business database system for your organization.

Nachteile

That the world isn't flat and they are across the world. But hey they do pretty darn well considering.

Vorteile

best product and value for money for databases on iOS, I've been searching for a product like ninox for years, and am glad I found it.

Nachteile

Documentation is insufficent, have to search for required information / no manual // no Windows app available, would be nice, but not necessary, as there is web access

Vorteile

Continuous improvements.
Easy to program and user friendly
Not expensive in front other softs.
iCloud Team work is amazing and reliability is on top.
great bunch of field types
Incredible support

Nachteile

Bulk data relationship between tables
Formulary view needs to improve.
User friendly programing by drag and drop needs more options actually only accesible by code typing
Printing layout can be more sophisticated

Vorteile

No loss of data. Data entry screens are easy to use and design. Calendar feature is a nice touch. I have the utmost confidence in this prodcut.

Nachteile

Exporting comes across with spaces and other charachter having multiple characters. I have to massage and clean up export data before being usable. I would like a form field view where I could make different types of forms in the platform itself. Do not take away the simplicity of the existing for fields but if I wanted to design a letter per say in another area, that would be awesome.

Vorteile

Ninox is cross platform by nature, so Mac and Windows users can easily collaborate on the same database.
It is entirely mobile with pre-built Apps for iOS and so you can use the full database wherever you are.
It is intuitive to build in and if you have any challenges, the support team is excellent.

Nachteile

Ideally, it would be good to be able to add Forms in order to create a landing page, but I know this is in development.
Beyond that, the ability to customise fonts/colours etc is probably the next stage.

Vorteile

I have been using this product for more than a month every day for my dog care business. The Ninox app looks simple but is, in fact, a very powerful tool to create a complete database. For business, the cloud-based storage gives you seamless cooperation between users. In addition to that, update in coding and field modification is done live, affecting all user instantly, a great thing for small business growing fast and needing to adjust without making heavy updates.
Client support is awesome. They answered all my question the next day (considering the time zone!)
I work with multiple tables from client information to reservation then invoices. All of that is linked together in a way I can save time and find the information very fast! If you knew Bento from Apple, you'll love Ninox! If you didn't know Bento, then you'll love Ninox too!

Nachteile

Some features are missing, but are in plans to be on the next version. Those are quite cased specific features, so you may not need them depending on your needs. But seeing how they take care of their product and clients I'm sure their next version will amazing!!

Vorteile

a lot of possibilities to customize, easy and fix to build new powerful databases, great templates, sync with cloud, helpful manual, phenomenal support!

Nachteile

Graphic design capability. Possibility to have multiple databases open at the same time. More tutorial videos.

Vorteile

Easy to learn and to configure the software. It is very flexible and highly customizable with lot of function. The support team is very helpful.

Nachteile

Sometimes the program is a bit slow when opening it in a browser, otherwise the applications work well. In some complicated cases it takes time to understand the logic behind the formulas, but it is more personal problem, not software related.
