Kohezion

What Kohezion is

Kohezion is an online database builder with a drag and drop editor, sold as "High security, easy to use, drag and drop low-code online database software." It is written for business teams that keep their information in spreadsheets, Access files or scattered tools and want a shared, relational, cloud-hosted system they can change themselves. The company says the goal is an easy-to-use, low-code database builder that lets organizations be independent of developers. The pages describe it as both "low-code" and "no code": anyone on a team can create or modify an application with the relational database software, according to the home page, without waiting for a development team. The site doesn't say where the company is based.

What you build and how

The platform lets you build a database application from scratch, from a template, or by uploading and merging existing spreadsheet data. That last route matters for a database directory. A team that has a workbook full of customers or inventory can bring it in rather than retyping it, and the site's feature menu names an Excel Migration Tool, a Spreadsheet Alternatives page and a page that takes on MS Access, which signals who the company expects to switch. A separate Legacy system migration page sits in the platform menu next to it.

Editing is by drag and drop. The home page says you can build and manipulate applications to meet the exact needs of your organization without coding skills, and that the application can be adapted and modified in real time as the organization changes and grows, again without a custom development team. The company describes the result as "relational database software," so related tables and linked records are the model, not a single flat sheet. The home page also says the tools build online applications "with additional encryption and security", the only security detail it gives for the build itself.

The feature list on the site is short and concrete. Online Forms collect data. Data Visualization and an Online Dashboard show it. Mail Merge PDF generates documents from records. Collaboration Tools let several people work in the same application; the home page says the cloud database lets data move securely between a business's data silos, which it says allows a smoother interdepartmental workflow. The platform is hosted in the cloud. The company says it lets organizations of all sizes, across all industry types, connect, secure and efficiently organize data in a cloud-based server, and that having all business data on one platform simplifies visualization, analysis and interpretation.

The platform menu is a good map of what people build with it. It lists a No code database page, a Custom CRM, a Knowledge database, Field sales, and Legacy system migration. There's also a page called Karla Document AI. The site text doesn't explain what it does, so treat it as a named product area and ask for a demo rather than assuming a feature set. Nothing in the site text names a native mobile app, a code export, a self-hosting option or an API, and it names no third-party integrations, so a team that depends on a specific connector has to ask.

Kohezion's own blog gives more of its framing. One article, a list of alternatives to Quickbase, closes with a short section calling Kohezion "a no-code app builder that offers a combination of simplicity and power" that lets you "construct personalized applications that precisely fit your business narrative." It says you can create, organize and streamline data-driven apps without coding skills. The same article is a comparison of 11 other tools, with sections that sort them by who they suit: Ninox for Apple users and visually driven database construction, Bubble for fully customizable web applications, Glide for turning spreadsheets into apps. It also lists what to weigh when choosing: how intuitively you can navigate the builder, mobile responsiveness, how each platform connects through APIs or common connectors like Zapier, and the support provided, including walkthrough guides, how-to videos and live support. Those are criteria for any product, not claims about Kohezion.

A second article, on no-code databases generally, says the pricing of such platforms often depends on monthly or annual subscriptions, usage or user count, and that "Kohezion's pricing model serves as a perfect example of no-code database costs", adding that its plans let businesses save compared with hiring developers. It gives no figures for Kohezion.

What the pages say about plans, support and security

The site text publishes no price. A Pricing item is in the menu, but no figures appear in the text, so the cost of a plan, the number of users, rows or applications allowed and any storage limits are all unstated. The one concrete commercial offer is on the home page: "Let us build your first business application for free. Go from an idea to an application in under 2 weeks." The call to action on that offer reads "Talk to an Expert". The Quickbase alternatives article also states that Airtable, AppSheet and Kohezion provide free trials, which is the only mention of a trial.

On security, the tagline leads with "High security", and the site says its applications are built with additional encryption and security. A link on the home page refers to HIPAA compliant database applications. The site text doesn't say what standard Kohezion has been audited against, who audited it, or what a customer must configure, so a healthcare buyer should ask for that in writing before putting patient data in. The company also says its development team is constantly adding new functions to accommodate its users' changing needs, and describes the platform as "a scalable solution, without a significant learning curve."

The text names no support channel beyond the Talk to an Expert contact, and gives no user count or customer list.

Who it suits and who it does not

Kohezion fits a small or mid-sized team with a spreadsheet problem and no developer: shared customer records, an order or inventory list, a knowledge base or a field sales setup, which the menu names as a use case. The free first application is attractive to a team that has never designed a database, because the company builds it. Organizations leaving Access or a legacy system are the other obvious audience, since the platform menu is built around migration.

The caveats are mostly questions the pages leave open. Prices, limits and integrations aren't published in the site text, so a founder comparing several tools on a spreadsheet will find this one has to be asked about. A team that wants a customer-facing web app, a store or a consumer mobile product is describing a different category of tool, since this one is presented as an online database for business data. And a team that wants a self-hosted or open-source database will want to confirm first, since neither is mentioned.
