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

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.

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 enterprise software, this restriction seemed counterproductive and frustrating. It’s hard to get much done when you’re constantly worrying about those limitations, and you have to always think about workarounds who are far away from "no code".

I also found that while Jestor is marketed as a "no code" solution, some features still require a technical understanding that goes beyond what is typically expected from such a tool. This was misleading and diminished the user-friendly aspect they promise.

Integrations, which are crucial for streamlining processes and improving efficiency, seemed to be in their early stages. This limited functionality was a significant drawback since we couldn’t connect Jestor seamlessly with other tools we use like Asana.

When it came to implementing Jestor within my company, the response was lukewarm. My colleagues were hesitant to switch from their familiar systems to a new tool that didn’t meet their needs or expectations.

The tipping point for me, however, was the customer support—or lack thereof. After agreeing to a meeting I didn’t request, I was left waiting in front of a Zoom call for 30 minutes with no show from their team. Following up got me nowhere; they promised to look into it but then went silent. This lack of communication and support is not only unprofessional but also disrespectful of my time.

They didn't even give advance notice or apologize properly; they simply sent a message saying, and I quote verbatim:

"Sorry for the late reply. I was in a meeting that took a lot longer than I expected. Can we reschedule our meeting for tomorrow at 11 AM or 5 PM Brazilian time?"

What does this message even mean? You apologize for a late response, not for leaving me hanging for half an hour, and you ask me to move my entire schedule again because you had a more important meeting that was delayed? What would have happened if the next day another more important meeting than mine happened?

In conclusion, while I wanted to give Jestor the benefit of the doubt as a burgeoning startup, the platform currently doesn’t meet the needs of my company. Without significant improvements in functionality, reliability, and customer service, I cannot recommend Jestor to others looking for an effective project management solution.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ...

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

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

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.

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

Easy to use, especially the drag and drop

A little bit laggy sometimes but they are improving the performance

Easy to use, with drag and drop feature. Intuitive. Good UI.

Overall, I think it's just too expensive to be use it. It sure does have benefits, but it's not worth it. We will preferably deal with 2 or 3 different apps to manage everything than pay 1000 a month

Easy to setup, good UI, quickly to deploy, easy integrations.

Cannot connect to PowerBI and cannot Copy and Paste cells from Excel.

You can put so much of your data into Jestor! I love the fact you can put Excel data into it so that anybody can look at it.

Can't think of anything, it is a great product so far.
