Jestor reviews

I've spent months for a product similar to or better than Podio for My Real Estate Business. I deal with tons of data and I needed something very specific to how I operate my business. I initially pruchased Tier 2 with Frontly and then I saw Jestor. I was hesitant to make the switch so i signed up for a free trial with Jestor at the last minute. All it took was 20 minutes and I was sold. I am so glad I made the switch. The No-code Solution makes learning experience as I build my workspaces pleasant. Theres ton of flexibility, customize what you want and how you want it. The support team is awesome! They reply in a timely manner and look forward to assist you anyway they can. For anyone in the Real Estate Industry, Jestor by far replaces Podio, HubSpot and Monday.. Man I'm so glad I switched and excited for the growth of this company.

Jestor is such a complete app that offers lots of features, providing the possibility to use it in business environments and also in more expressive areas, such as video content creation. The building tools combinations are endless, and the support is quick and helpful, making Jestor a treasured app that I assure you will be of great assistance in this AI age!

Luckily I found Jestor right before the deal end. It is superbly useful with lots of features, an AIO for internal app building. I love the Superform with very powerful form building tools. The Gant and Smart Kanban apps are of the top useful - for me it is the first one that help me to build and customize a real Kanban app.

Also, it is extremely handly to have the built-in database for the apps. The no-code automations and integrations are there with some ready-made integrations (some very useful to Office, Google, Asana etc.). However, I wish there will be more integrations in the future.

The team was super nice and helpful and able to answer questions! Thanks for the intro session! Such a powerful tool and can't wait to make smart forms and internal tools. Great like dynamic spreadsheets and so, so much more. Still in early phases but really, really promising and congrats on Y Combinator. This is going to be such a great tool, don't miss it now! Probably won't be back.

Jestor is shaping up to be one of those overlooked gems.

If anyone remembers Procesio that was on here last year, it's of a similar ilk to that.

There are automations to get the normal stuff done.

And then there's the option of low-code to take advantage of the awesome API limits.

I'm not a developer (though I wish I'd learned a language or two before Ai took off!) but a bit of trial & error combined with the help of chatgpt... and I've managed to reduce my automation use on another platform.

If you've ever used gpt on google sheets for any serious amount of operations, you've come across google's ridiculously low limitations (even with a workspace account).

Jestor gets rid of that problem.

I had set up an automation to verify emails on the fly combining sheets and other automation platforms. This would use anything from 10k to over 30k ops per month depending on activity.

Jestor has reduced those numbers by 99%. The API is also faster :)

(btw, I feel like the 1 taco review below is mostly anger because of the meeting mix up. I get it, no-shows suck if you didn't see the email. But the platform is good, and the team are working on accessibility to a larger audience)

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.

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.

Back in 2012 I started using a tool called Podio. It was amazing - until Citrix bought it and pretty much shelved it in 2014.

I still use it 10 years later, but it hasn't improved a bit and I've been looking for the right tool to move to for all these years.

Now I found it!

The people at Jestor get it. A simple, interactive database that anyone can use. It's not as good as Podio yet, but I can tell it will blow Podio out of the water in the future.

Did I mention they made Y Combinator? That was a deciding factor for me. You know they'll be around for the long haul if they made Y Combinator.

This review could be adjusted if they don't keep following through, but for now I'm completely impressed and I think this will be our record keeping / project management tool for many years to come.
