Jestor Reviews

I really like the number of tools I have available in the app; I can manage different stages and projects of my work all in one place

While the task management software is very useful and efficient, I think it could benefit from a slightly more intuitive interface. This would help make the user experience even better

Hello Aline! Thanks so much for your review! We’re happy to know that you’re able to make more powerful apps for your company. :) Regarding the task management features, we are currently working on a more dedicated tool for project management. We hope it will be useful for you when released.

I recently had the opportunity to explore Jestor, I knew within the first hour this was the platform i was looking for to operate my Real Estate business. The User-Face is friendly and easy to navigate and figure out, which is important for for someone that doesnt have a background in tech/coding. The Drag and Drop feature makes it easy to create different APPS , APP Pages and connecting different data sources for relational data and automating work flows. Lots of flexibility and deep customization that is specific to your business. The Support Team is great! Lots of documentation on youtube for knowledge base. The team is patient and willing to help.

This is not your typical straight out of the box platform so there is a learning curve. But that is because of the deep customization.

Hi Mark, Thank you so much for your feedback and review! We're thrilled to hear you had a positive experience. We have invested significant effort in collaborating with the real estate sector and are pleased to see great results. We're continually striving to simplify the learning curve without compromising customization capabilities. We welcome any ideas you might have to help us enhance this aspect even further.

I came across Jestor by chance while looking for something to serve as a client facing dashboard that could integrate into the various tools I use for my clients and this seems to be the perfect fit for what I want to do. It is early and there is a learning curve, but its clear this tool does have the customisation and capacity to be an all in one tool for agencies like mine that provide automation services.

I would like to see user specific templates and use cases highlighted more as this would help to direct the onboarding process to help with the initial learning process. This wouldn't apply to people that have a tech background, this is for other non tech people.

Hey Josefa, Thanks for your feedback! We’re launching about 10-20 new templates in the next few days. I hope they’ll be helpful to you! Additionally, we host live sessions every week where we build templates. If there’s a specific template you’d like to see, please feel free to bring your suggestions to these sessions.

The idea behind a platform where you can create almost everything, but was just that, "the idea"

When I first explored Jestor as an alternative to well-known project management tools like Notion, Airtable, and ClickUp, I was hopeful. Unfortunately, my experience has been less than satisfactory, and here’s why. Starting with Jestor’s platform, it felt underdeveloped compared to the tools I'm accustomed to. One of the main issues I encountered was the limit on "actions". As someone who develops...

Apologies for our team's delay. We sent you multiple emails informing you of the delay, and I appreciate your responses. I understand your frustration and assure you that we are taking steps to prevent such issues in the future. The "actions" model was discontinued a year ago; I hope the replacement meets your needs. As for your feedback on the product, I value your perspective, although I disagree...

Lots of customizability with forms and databases. Great use cases for internal apps and starting with their templates makes things easier to have a starting point.

There is definitely still a learning curve even though it's a no-code platform. Some of the settings are hidden behind menus.

Hi Jack, thank you for your feedback! We are actively working to address the learning curve associated with our product. If you have any suggestions on how we can make it easier to use, we'd love to hear them. Please feel free to share your ideas with us at feedback@jestor.com. Thanks again!

no code, budget friendly. they have the development team who can walk you through building the code for a small fee.

learning curve is steeper. would be good if there's a community group such as discord or facebook group

Hey Joe, Thank you for your feedback! We recognize the learning curve associated with our features and have been dedicating significant time and effort to make the process more intuitive. Although our attempt to create a community in the past didn’t meet our expectations, we are open to revisiting this idea in the future. If you have any other suggestions on how we might further reduce the learning curve, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to share your ideas with us at feedback@jestor.com.

What I liked most about Jestor is the comprehensive set of field types available, which has allowed me to build very flexible and robust applications tailored specifically to my business needs. The ability to edit my own applications which are crucial for the daily operations of my business adds a significant layer of agility and responsiveness. This capability ensures that I can quickly implement or test new ideas without going through a lengthy process of finding a developer.

As with any highly flexible, powerful platform, Jestor comes with a slight learning curve. There are templates and a pretty comprehensive knowledge base, so I advise making use of those when you get started. It will be worth the investment of time in the end.

Hey Steve, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We understand the learning curve can be steep, especially for new users. We're actively working to minimize this by investing time and resources into user-friendly solutions. As you suggested, templates are a great tool for this, and we're excited to announce that we'll be launching 10-20 new templates starting this week. We hope these will make it easier for you and other users to build with Jestor. :)

The fact that it is a Brazilian company, which makes pricing less exposed to exchange rate fluctuations

The fact that it lacked many of the functionality that was available in competing applications. Nevertheless, they have been adding a number of features and integration

Hi there, thanks for your feedback! Could you share with us the features you are missing and the competitors you are comparing the platform with? It'd help us to best guide our efforts to improve and understand if the platform is being compared with other no-code internal tool app builders. We'd love to chat with you to learn more and schedule a meeting at hello@jestor.com. Thanks!

Besides the fact that is very easy to Jestor, I loved the support they give for the user. On the first day I started using it I already implemented a table for managing the company's portifolio's.

There are a few bugs that can make the job a little frustating.

Hey Vitor, thanks for the feedback! I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced some bugs. I'd love if you could share it here with our team so we could fix it :) https://community.jestor.com/c/product-feedback/report-bug/25

At the first impression, I find Jestor very intuitive and very easy to get started. Getting a tour around was easy. Compared to many low code database tools out there, this is considered one of the leading tools that address personalisation and security.

I still can't get a hang around the concept of "action" per month. As someone who develop enterprise software for enterprise use, having this count of "action" seems to be pulling you back from what you want to achieve. Furthermore, the pricing is not easy to understand. Personally, I prefer something more predictable.

Hey Philip, thanks for the feedback! We agree with you, our current pricing model could be perceived as complicated. We're currently working on making it easier for everyone to understand how to choose the best plan and explaining why it's much better than traditional user-based models.

it's kind easy to make some integrations that not require high level of understanding computing code. a averege user of excel should be great in this tool.

at the report feature: could add a kind of select of drag and drop, tables, fields.. the main point is kind of create report based on MER of company using all connections that its has . (PK - FK) etc ...

Thanks for the feedback, Wesley! It's an interesting feature request. I'll send to our product team.

The fact that it's very use to use and implement

That are a few important features that are still missing, I've asked for them for the support. The more I use it the more I'll find other missing features, however it's the agility of the Jestor's team that can make a difference by implementing everything the clients asks. It would be amazing if it could integrate with Asana.

Hi Vitor, thanks for the feedback! Great suggestion! I'll internally upvote Asana as a native integration :)

Very easy to use & learn. My favorite is the flexibility, we have at least 3 use cases in different areas working on jestor.

Documentation could be improved in order to make take up easier Create certifications

Hey Bruno, thanks for the feedback! Great suggestion! We are working to create a community for our users and we could add levels/certifications :)

Jestor lets you create tables, dashboards and automations without having to code, so most things I need to do are viable just by clicking around (at least for my personal use). It's also more flexible than dedicated software, like task managers, which generally has some form of customization, but in a more rigid structure.

It's not so easy to figure out what you have to do at first. It's fine once you get the hang of it, but there could be a more detailed onboarding so it's easier to get things started.

Thanks for the feedback! We are working on our onboarding process. It'll soon be live :)

We have adapted Jestor to function exactly the way we wanted and adjusted it according to our need. Its flexibility and strong relatable database structure helped a lot to atomize our operational process and made it easy to scale up.

Some automation needs coding and depends on Jestor teams to do it for us.

Thanks for the feedback, Diogo! We are mapping out the most common tasks that require code for deeper customization and bringing them to no-code asap.

For me it's awesome the directioning we can do for the tasks, for specific users, this organizes and give really security about the information and workflow. Also the easy way to see data, create dashboards and show relations witout use any complex code is incredible.

I could not use the app for Windows, it doesn't work well, it not even open. In this way I could not se any notification about the tasks I had to complete, so it takes a more attention to have all sync and done. But as I use Jestor daily, it is not that bad.

Hi Caroline, thanks so much for reporting your problem with the Windows App. I've created an internal ticket for the product team to investigate the problem. Sorry for the trouble and thanks so much for pointing it out!

I liked the fact that it is a Brazilian software

I was used to Notion, Airtable and ClickUp, and Jestor just seemed insufficient when comparing to those options. Of course, it is a much younger startup, but still. My role is not to be an early adopter of tech but rather deliver solutions to my org's problems, and Jestor wasn't the ideal application when trying to build some of our systems - at the time I tried it, about 6 months ago. We then decided to hire ClickUp as the selected provider

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that our features by that time were not enough to meet your needs. The product has changed a lot from 6 months ago. We've built the app builder, new automations, new fields, and much more. I hope the current and future updates will make you try again in the future :)

The possibility to "create" a management system that works precisely for my needs.

You guys should communicate the changes that you are planning and implementing. Several times I had to do re work because of changes that happen and I was no aware that they would happen.

Hi Alejandro, I'm sorry that you had to redo some of your work due to upgrades on the system. We have several upgrades every week and we're studying the best way to share with our community future improvements. We are currently only publishing it on our social media channels, and we'd love to hear your suggestions on how to make it more available to all clients, including you :)

Jestor is super easy to integrate and build custom tools in no time at all.

Jestor's pricing model is moderately confusing with what does and doesn't count as an action.

Hey Spencer, thanks so much for the feedback! We'll review our pricing page and add more examples to the documentation (https://docs.jestor.com/docs/actions). Also, we are developing a new "history of actions" feature to show all the acts that are been considered actions. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to make it easier to understand usage to all users :)

Jestor is de-facto a backend-as-a-service to me, which allowed me to scale my developer operation without having to scale my team up.

I actually think they can improve on the support and community areas, I was not able to connect to more clients using Jestor to exchange knowledge or hire talents.

Thanks Jean!! I agree with you, we should have a community. We're studying the best model for our users. The creation of a Capterra account is one of our steps in that direction. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic.

Eu gosto pois é fácil e muito intuitivo de usar, ele atende todas as necessidades que tenho e auxilia a concentrar todas as informações em um só lugar.

Como utilizamos o Jestor para muitas ações e aplicações acaba ocorrendo alguns bugs mas que são rapidamente resolvidas pelo suporte.

Thanks for the feedback Gabrielle!

A ferramenta está sempre evoluindo e trazendo novas facilidades para o dia a dia nos processos de trabalho.

Por estar em constante evolução ainda ocorrem alguns bugs mas que são resolvidos rapidamente.

Thanks for the feedback Ludmila :)

O fato de podermos montar o que quisermos.

A quantidade de features, porém, é visto a velocidade de atualização e acredito que em 2022/2023 ficará um software bem mais completo.

Thanks for the feedback, Vinícius! Everyday Jestor is better, and in 2022 we'll invest even more in new features. If you have a specific feature that you want, please share it with us :)

O que mais gostei do software foi sua versatilidade e adaptabilidade.

Senti falta de algumas integrações nativas com ferramentas como Asana e Google Forms.

Hey Arthur, thanks for the feedback! I've upvoted Asana and Google Forms to our list of integrations requests :)

Os recursos mais importantes e poder adicionar todo meu time, automatizar os meus processos e criar regras de permissionamento.

Senti falta de um melhor onboarding e template completo para iniciar a utilização.

Thanks for the feedback, Luciene! We are currently working on a better onboarding experience and developing templates. We hope to have it by January.
