Importing data from csv files mostly worked, but some data types won’t import except as text. The idea is to keep you from doing something wrong, but it can feel limiting. However, the graphical interface for the calculations gets in my way more than it helps. It’s fast, the data cells are color customizable, and the calculation fields give you a lot of control.

The user interface is not always intuitive, and the online manual is too brief, but I’ve managed to do about everything I wanted with it. I migrated from Bento to another app that had some integrity issues, so I wanted something reliable and versatile. I’ve only got one day experience with Ninox, but so far I like it. There is so much more with Ninox I would like to touch on but I will just say that as an owner/user of Ninox, I love it and use every day. It is still not complete but will be done very soon. And now, as this is review is being written, they have put out an exhaustive online manual. To top it all, each of the webinars are recorded and available free of charge to watch as often as needed. You can play with them (in fact, they encourage you to play with them to get the feel and understand what everything does) and if you do something wrong, you just delete the database and download it again. From Custom CRM, Real Estate, Contacts, Accounting, Inventory, etc. If you purchase Ninox, there are even some prebuilt databases (12). Other days have different topics that may be a little more advanced. For those who want to learn the basics, every Wednesday at 8 am (Eastern time) and again, at 4 pm there is a webinar for an hour or more.

Now with the US side, there are different days where you can learn via a webinar, or there are now videos being made (via Youtube) at least once a week, the learning is even easier. If you are willing to spend a few hours, you can learn the beginning of Ninox and have a fully working database. It was once true that without a manual the learning curve was a little hard.

BTW, there is a free trial for Ninox, if wanted. The interface for Ninox is superb, easy to use, and it is extremely fast, even if with your huge database with many tables. Next, Ninox is a fully fledged relational type database, not just flat. This, in itself, helps in so many ways.especially you needed tech support. Still not sure, read on.įirst, Ninox itself was designed and built in Germany but now with "merger", there is now a US "component" side of it. For those that may be on the fence as to whether they should purchase Ninox or not, there have been some major updates with Ninox and that should relieve any fears.
