InfoDome: Easily Create Online Databases With This Simple Platform
Here at Crenk we always try to review the latest startups that are useful, and we have been tipped to look at a new startup called InfoDome. InfoDome aims to help small andmedium sized business develop online databases easily and affectively.
InfoDome lets users create online databases by scratch or by using the startup’s customized templates. Users can import data staight from Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, FilemakerPro, Word and other applications.
Pricing for InfoDome is very affordable with a free plan option available. With the free option users can have 3 databases with a total of 2,500 total records. Other plans start from $20 per month and go up to $150 per month.
The browser-based platform lets administrators share forms and reports with specific users and features easy to use drag and drop tools to create forms and reports.
The online database market is getting more and more crowded by the day. InfoDome aims to be a cheaper version of Microsoft Access, however I can see it getting a a lot of competition from Blist and DabbleDB.
How big is the market InfoDome is entering? I know that most developers these days used a database like MySQL, but you obviously need some level of knowledge to do so. Thus, InfoDome aims at users who dont have a high level of knowledge, plus they arent for users who have little or no knowledge, because the database needs to build around a solid product. Therefore what is the size of the market they are entering?

Thanks for the review! One other thing to mention is that you can easily embed forms and sophisticated reports in your website. Nice job. Dave
Yes, InfoDome is browser-based – but thanks to its Flash UI, InfoDome provides a level of WYSIWYG visual interaction that eludes many other web apps. It’s like working in a desktop app. Also, its import capability is flexible and robust.
One thing about competition: Blist (now Socrata) initially targeted consumers, who never really adopted it.
