Event based code, or even webservice callouts would be a killer feature. It was the first thing I started looking for on the page. With just a few more features this could easily capture a portion of the SMB market who's interested in something as flexible as Salesforce, but can't swallow the $85+ monthly cost per user.

Disclaimer: I work for a sister-company.

"We" have something like this with event based "model actions" which also support calling out to webservices (both rest and soap).

Shameless "competitor plug"; will remove if considered inappropriate: http://www.bettyblocks.com/en

edit: App/marketing is being translated as we speak; you guys will be able to figure things out right? ;-)

Am very interested in something like this. I'm a can code, won't code type of person. I need something that can auto trigger things such as emails etc after certain events. I'm finding crm systems to restrictive or too bloated and other database software is either too tech focused or too limited in scope. Will this help me? I looked around your site but kept getting 404 errors

Just heard you got in touch with one of our sales guys. He'll walk you through getting started.

I couldn't find a good demo on your site. Got a direct link?

Please shoot me an email and I'll walk you through it/get you all set up!

Don't worry about it, it's not inappropriate at all. Good luck with your product!

Looks interesting but hard to tell much about it based on the current website.

If you want a clear intro while we're working on the site please drop me an email. I'm happy to clarify things!

The leader in this space at the moment is Intuit, with their Quickbase product. You can get a rough idea of the customer base here: http://quickbase.intuit.com/customers

They claim 1/2 of the Fortune 100 are customers.
