Nova custom or alternative

Hi,

Just bought Nova and discovered that (apparently) it doesn't cut it for me. As I love the fast way of creating an admin for my app, it lacks (or maybe I am wrong) the customization I need. I am trying to use it for an ERP so I need to customize search (search expression and filters must be in the same zone, not hidden), make forms smaller and arrange the inputs as I need. What is the level of customization I can do with Nova, and if it doesn't fit an ERP, what admin templates (with vue.js) do you recommend?

It gave me the same impression when I started using it, I think the level of customization is high, everything you mention can be done in laravel nova, but the learning curve is high and this can be a point against other alternatives.

I am currently creating a simple ERP as a hobby so this is no problem for me. If it was for a project of my work due to the times delivery times I would have taken another option
