Baserow Reviews

Superb open source project management tools

Comments: I love using Baserow, it helped my team to manage the task.

Pros:

Baserow provides open source version, which helped a lot for nonprofit companies to manage their team and projects.

Cons:

- There is no desktop version of baserow. - Cannot add WYSIWYG page on an item/task

Highly recommended visual database for long-term use

Comments: I enjoy using Baserow and am happy to be part of the community. Open-sourcing your own product is not always easy in terms of intellectual property and old-school business mindset. I've migrated from Airtable/SmartSuite to Baserow and use Baserow for summary and visual data management that works well with other databases like Cloudflare D1 and MongoDB (integrated with Make.com). When it comes to Application Builder that the Baserow team is currently working on, according to their webinar, they plan to integrate other data sources and to develop a chart/graph feature, so I'm looking forward to using it. (Competitors/alternatives could be not only Airtable, but also Retool and Softr) Overall, Baserow is a cost-effective and strategic solution for your digital transformation.

Pros:

- Cost effective from free to 5 USD per month - Simple and clean interface - Simple but useful API endpoints - Nice and supportive community - Application builder is evolving now - Open-source mindset and movement

Cons:

- Application builder could have more feature (expectation for the future) - Filters should be sent as POST request rather than a GET parameter

The best database

Comments: Excellent application for small and medium.business as well as new developers

Pros:

Really great tool due to its simplicty and also the constant evolution. Simce the start ive been excited about that

Cons:

Baserow still does not allow copying bases

Baserow Review

Pros:

Categories are flexible, the interface is easy to read, easy to collaborate with other in the company, less expensive than competitors

Cons:

We need a mobile version, capability to create more Views, and an easier Search function.

Baserow is excellent

Comments: Overall the experience is very positive and there are people behind committed to making Baserow better.

Pros:

Baserow is simply excellent and we use it to manage all our marketing in one central place. It offers us an easy way to create a database, collect data and trigger automations via Make.com. Its a great and better alternative than Airtable. Also the fact that there is a self-hosted option, make this really attractive. We keep discovering new ways of using Baserow as we go, and we plan to use it as our central database to manage all kinds of activities.

Cons:

At some times it might be a bit cumbersome to understand how it works or to find the exact solution to your problem. However, we kept trying and thanks to the Baserow Community and their Support we always could figure it out.

Good, and improving

Comments: I believe a lot in Baserow, it's clearly not perfect yet, but it's far more reliable than Airtable for many use-cases (anything that is "backend-powered"). The product team is doing a good job, the tech team has mostly made great design decisions. Stuff could be better, but they're listening to their customers. I like to compare Baserow to Airtable, because they're very much alike UI-wise, and are meant for the same people, those who aren't necessarily deeply technical but who know how to design a DB. It's much more simpler than Supabase/Xano, and with the recent addition of the App Builder (Beta), it will become even better and usable by many more people.

Pros:

- I love the fact it's open-source - Easy to deploy on self-hosted server - API is great and well designed - UI is good, although not as good as Airtable - Writing Formulas is a pain (UX can be improved) - Lookup/Rollup behave strangely with relationships - App Builder is the future

Cons:

- Airtable UI is better/faster - Airtable provide more features (sync tables)

Free and easy to use

Comments: We have helped several clients who want to be able to edit spreadsheets and show that data in real time on an application set up base row. We have also helped several people move off of air table onto base road to save the money!

Pros:

Our team loves how easy it is to set up new tables and how cheap it is compared to Airtable!

Cons:

We prefer the cloud hosted option over the self hosted option, and don’t have a lot of negatives!

Baserow review

Pros:

easy to use, nice functionality. works reliably. integrates with common automation software. The company listens to users and implements features based on customer feedback.

Cons:

i hope a small open source company can be successful!

It's easy to create databases and project management systems

Comments: Overall I'm very happy with Baserow, and it allows me to deal with the information I need for a fair price.

Pros:

The huge ammount of field types, which allows the creation of very complete and complex information systems easily.

Cons:

On the premium plan (the middle plan) the number of rows per workspace (10.000) is very low. This number should be higher.

Why did I ever use Airtable?

Comments: Great for managing all the data in dev and organize it before putting it in our primary database.

Pros:

Infinite rows. Needed in products like these.

Cons:

The load time, the lack of Google cloud setup support, every so often it'll be buggy and I'm not sure what resources to upgrade - does it need more memory? A larger machine? Another instance? That feedback would be remarkable.

Great tool for Recruitment business

Comments: Our main business tool that does not limit us.

Pros:

What I like most about Baserow is the ease of usage and ease of receiving updates (Docker). The cool thing also is that the core development team is really not lazy folks, but constantly roll out useful features (like recently the App builder). Self-hosting option is also something I feel safer with.

Cons:

The slow community support and the fact that premium payers don't get premium support. Can't create sort filters with Lookup columns :/ Sometimes issues with file uploads that it does not work always.

A great database!

Pros:

Baserow is wonderful and quite simple to use, I always use baserow as the database for my applications.

Cons:

Until now, nothing. Baserow meets all my needs, that is, I love the site.

Excellent product and service

Pros:

Ease of use. Ability to connect via API.

Cons:

Has a tendency to log users out frequently.

Build a database without programming skills

Comments: Great, we are so thankful that this is available free of charge.

Pros:

My [sensitive content hidden] and I were in need of a low-cost solution for managing thousands of data points to track seed accessions for ecological restoration. We were losing data with Google sheets and unable to cross-reference collection data, seed farming and overall lifecycle of seed lots. We tried a costly database used by large-scale seed farmers and it didn't meet our needs; it was slow, the interface was ancient and the workflow was not intuitive. Baserow is elegant, super fast and intuitive to use.

Cons:

There is a learning curve; however compared to the time we would have invested in learning Python or another programming language to custom-build a database, this is much faster.

Excellent Platform for Backend use

Pros:

Baserow implementation was fast and cost effective both as it took us barely 30 minutes to transition from our retro database, Airtable to Baserow.

Cons:

Documentation should have examples for Java and Kotlin used in Android Development. Android holds a substantial share in app development market. So examples for them should be given and if possible, an Android SDK be developed and maintained.

Success on day one

Pros:

From day one, we were able to structure the idea in spreadsheets. When we were done, we had a fully functional backend and it was just a matter of building the app and the website. That's all!

Cons:

That we didn’t use it much earlier, due to it’s ease of use and scalability.

Easiest way to set up a database

Pros:

I love that I can have a database created without much work and it also has a full fledged API available for me to use the data in an app.

Cons:

Something I'd love to see in Baserow is more customizations with the CSS of the App Builder. That'd make it so much better

Awesome date base!!

Comments: Good overall I like it and is very affordable compared to airtable

Pros:

The forms are the best I found out there. They are simple but even with the free plan you get so much value the baserow branding is really conservative

Cons:

Built in automation hopefully they implement this type of features in the future

Best database

Comments: Nothing to complain about, it serves me very well!

Pros:

Ease of use and integration with other software.

Cons:

I like the interface that is much easier to use than a conventional database system

A powerful Airtable alternative

Pros:

Simplicity is the main feature of Baserow, going from 0 to a hero app in just a few days.

Cons:

The import export feature. In other alternatives is more intuitive.

Database first !

Pros:

nocode relational database open source and can be self hosted

Cons:

Somehow lack of functionality if we compare with Airtable.

Easy To Use

Pros:

Cost effective and has a clear roadmap for features

Cons:

Still requires some work to be competitive in market, but other aspects make up for it.

Recommended! Very good!

Comments: I absolutely love using Baserow.io for managing my data and building custom applications! It's an incredibly powerful and user-friendly platform that has transformed the way I work.
The intuitive interface makes it a breeze to create databases and start working on projects right away, even without advanced technical skills.
Baserow offers extensive customization options, allowing me to tailor everything to my exact needs. The real-time collaboration features are seamless, enabling my team to work together efficiently.

Pros:

Ease of setup and use Intuitive UI Many Connectors

Cons:

So far, during the trial period I could find any Cons 👍🏻

Baserow for Non-profit

Comments: A very positive experience so far using the free tier to create an inventory for managing an estate.

Pros:

Easy to get started. Less constraints for free tier than some proprietary applications.

Cons:

Its a bit early in the development of the functionality to create apps but from what I have seen this approach shows a great deal of promise. The development team were accessible and helpful during the beta.

Excellent tlTool for Multi Variable Cataloging

Pros:

Baserow is the most affordable software on the market that allows for easily creating a highly customizable, multi variable catalog of items and even has the capacity to include photos. I use it to create and sort lists of hundreds of items and props and organize them by all the scenes that they play in. When the scheduled day for a scene changes, with a few simple clicks, I can change the day that scene was slated to shoot on and all the dozens of not hundreds of props associated with that scene shift to the new day. It has shaved so much time off of managing itemized lists.

Cons:

The interface on mobile or tablet is a bit crowded. But I understand that is also somewhat because of how I use the product out in the field. I feel like the card view could have more formating or vanity organizational options.
