Stackby Reviews

Stackby combines the best of spreadsheets, databases, forms and task management (kanban style & tasks shown in a calendar view). In other words, you can create and modify your entities in different views, based on your needs. The tool let you also notify team-members if they are connected to e.g. a specific task, but also let you live-chat with your team-members inside the platform. You can also set reminders on tasks if needed. You can create forms, based on your custom created columns in Stackby, and then embed or share your form. It means you can ask people for input, and their input will automatically go into your Stackby column and rows, where you work further on their inputs.

I love the unique idea of system integrations and the use of API’s. But the current 15 integrations are way too little, and I unfortunately don’t see integration with any past LTDs. After I reach out to support, I understand they constantly adding more integrations, and currently work on a Zapier integration. That will be a game-changer, but I still recommend the team to list the integrations in scope and estimate how many integrations they will do per quarter in 2020.

When you work with critical data, you also need the opportunity to work with revisions and enable an opportunity to roll back your work to a specific date. I know they currently list revision on a per row basis – this is really great, to have this kind of overview. Now they only need to implement a ‘roll-back’ feature.

Easy to use, fully featured, growing list of templates, great support

During early development, there were some missing features. But these have been added over the years. Can't think of anything missing at this time.

ease of use, functionality, feel of dashboard

still some features that I want and it doesn't have (or I can't find)

1. Ease of use
2. Extremely intuitive and easy to figure out (hence point #1)
3. Comes with already designed formats/templates
4. Great online support/videos
5. I used it and said to myself 'WHY HAS NO ONE INVENTED THIS BEFORE'
6. Love that I can share a stack via url, or download it as a .csv

Nothing. Seriously. Nothing
I had no issues using it, or any problems thus far.
Again, it's quite user friendly.

Stackby is a cloud-based solution that enables me to have a database that functions like a spreadsheet. It's easy to use and feature-rich (with more features being added regularly). I've found it easy to use and very handy.

Some features are still in beta because Stackby is still being rapidly improved (which is actually a good thing). I feel some workflows could (and probably will) be improved and some features may be missing that some need or want. Also, it would be great if my data could be synced to an app so I don't have to rely on cloud storage only (that limits my ability to use it when I'm not online).

I love the automation functions and the templates.

I don't like the logo on their table in the footer. But apart from that, the team is doing great!

Stackby is extremely flexible and can be used for just about anything tied to data. There's a lot of native integrations and they recently added Webhooks and Zapier which opens it up further.

It can be a little slow to load at times, but that's too be expected with so many things happening in the background and owner seems to be speeding the platform up as more users are added.

The value of the product as well as being extremely useful for my business.

I really do not have any cons as of yet.

For me, Stackby's key strength is in the database/ spreadsheet functions, which is what - in the end - sold this particular deal to me. I did look at Airtable and Infinity but decided that Stackby was the best match for our business needs.

I've been in touch with support and chatted with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] - both have replied within minutes. My feedback/ suggestions have been well received and they have added them to their do-list.

I think Stackby could offer an ideal solution for many companies - large and small - that wish to move on from a basic spreadsheet approach and create a more integrated system with which to manage and be kept up-to-date on their various data needs. To have our spreadsheets updated in real-time as part of a process will make us more efficient and better positioned to meet the needs of our clients,

Zapier could be costly for those with large data input needs and we all use numerous different SAAS/ Apps. So more integrations and webhooks are needed to make it easy for everyone to be able to plug-in to Stackby and use it as their business requires; and to do so in a way that allows database newbies like myself to easily understand and implement. They have stated that these points are being addressed so one would hope that that will only increase the capabilities and functionality of Stackby.

I love the possibilities in connecting different stacks (tables) together. This helps us avoid double-entry data: we only need to input contact information in one place and can access it from different stacks.
As a young company, Stackby works hard to ship new features. They listen and respond to user input in a way that I've not seen in another company.
I also really like the effort the team has put into making Stackby easy on the eyes.

This software still behaves like an advanced beta. You may find a bug here or there, and some functionality hasn't been fully built yet. The most difficult part of this is that there's no way to link the live database with a desktop app such as Outlook for mail merges. You have to save a CSV copy in order to work with the data that way. But that is a limitation of this sort of system.

I love the templates and the ways that formulas are prebuilt to easily make sense of the data coming in and out of the day to day operations.

I also really love how they use tags and categories to make use of various parts of the sheet style inputs.

The Power up add-on is a hard but essential sell. Also the additional styling options. I'd prefer they just offer everything in one go and do pricing that way, but it obviously didn't stop me from buying so it couldn't be that bad, right?

Prior to using this software i was managing everything via excel sheets. Over time i had a number sheets all over the place and it was getting very difficult to manage and find the information i was looking for.

With this software everything is in one place, easily organised into stacks. Than i create the layout i want and view the data in several different ways which is fantastic. It is so simple and easy to use. I can also export my data to excelsheets and import from excelsheets

i would like to see more choice in icons and colours i can use and integration to merch by amazon, etsy or redbubble
