I started using Jestor to substitute some task management software, both for personal and professional use. So far things are great! It's not a plug and play software and setting things up can be tricky at first, but once you understand how to build things it's more accommodating than most software out there. From what I understand there's also a lot you can do by coding, but for now I'm sticking with the solely nocode plans as the features already cover my needs.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Response from Jestor

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

I feel happy with Jestor, they helped me when I needed to quickly change my approach with technology within my operation.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Alternatives Considered

TOTVS ERP, Airtable, SAP Business One and RD Station

Reasons for Switching to Jestor

Pricing, trust in the team, ability to customize software integrations, speed to develop new features, integrations with APIs

Response from Jestor

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.

Because of the previous answer I will say that my overall experience is not good.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Response from Jestor

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 Useful for Business Processes

Reviewed on 09/12/2021

Pros

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

Cons

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

Alternatives Considered

Coda, Airtable and Notion

Reasons for Switching to Jestor

Jestor has the prettiness of Airtable and the power of Coda.

Response from Jestor

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 :)

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Insuficcient for those coming from more robust applications

I did in the last question

Pros

I liked the fact that it is a Brazilian software

Cons

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

Alternatives Considered

Airtable, ClickUp, Bitrix24, Asana and Notion

Reasons for Switching to Jestor

I did not.

Response from Jestor

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 :)

I think Jestor could be more generous to give out more for its great features and product. If there is intention to have a Free plan, I think all the features should be unlocked for experimentation. Afterall, the billing is going to be based on actions. Now, it is a lot of restrictions, with a lot of prompts to upgrade to Startup plan.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Response from Jestor

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.

Overall, we are very happy with Jestor due to their ability to quickly deliver exactly what we need to improve our operational process. We have been building through Jestor a robust real time inventory control and so far it is going very well.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Response from Jestor

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.

I think this is an awesome tool to organize your workflow and to keep the team aware of what is going on and what they have to do, when, and in which manner. After you have a look, it seems easy and agradable to work on it.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Response from Jestor

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!

The solution is improving but still lacks in comparison to competitors

Reviewed on 22/05/2022

Pros

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

Cons

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

Response from Jestor

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.

Despite being a little buggy, the overall experience is very positive, with a very good support and super easy to use and learn.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Response from Jestor

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

It was super simple to start using and testing the tool. However, I saw that it would take extra effort to be able to structure it for use in all cases of the company. So we decided that we would opt for a slightly more "ready to use" solution.

Pros

The automations that is already available on the platform. For simple workflows it works perfectly.

Cons

It is difficult to use Jestor in all of our use cases here at Caju. So I tried to implement in some areas, but the people who are running the processes wasn't prepared to drop their usual tool (like CRM or Ticket manager) to start with Jestor.

Alternatives Considered

Jestor : Qulture.Rocks

Reviewed on 09/12/2021

Pros

The fact that Jestor is a "no code" platform makes it very friendly to use on our daily activities. We've noticed a real improvement in some of these activities with Jestor and the support that Jestor provides when we have any doubts/problems is also very effective.

Cons

In the same way that the platform is "no code", there are some features that require a certain notion of programming, which is not user-friendly in some points..

Response from Jestor

Hey Gustavo, thanks for the feedback! I agree with you, the "low-code" area could have a better UI/UX. We are working on ways to make it easier to use to non-developers, including transforming some of the features to no-code.
