I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Automation has transformed project and inventory workflows and improves revenue forecasting
The best features QuickBase offers include being a no-code software, meaning it is very easy to use even for new users. It also provides life cycle management, workflow management, and dashboards. The dashboards and workflow management help my team significantly, as they have a drag-and-drop interface and prebuilt templates, which play a pivotal role in creating custom applications. Those features also help provide the ability to manage the entire application life cycle with QuickBase easily. Integration has been very seamless with our overall IT stack. The user interface is very user-friendly and intuitive, which makes it very easy to use, together with the no-code aspect. Any kind of personnel can use this tool easily.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"QuickBase has allowed us to develop approximately 20 production applications that all help business process flows, decrease time spent on reporting and allow for better controls and insight into our operations."
"The ability to customize the database to fit your own company is endless."
"QuickBase is a wonderful PaaS platform that offers ease in building small- and medium-sized projects and automation, meeting base requirements for automation at a low cost with an easy-to-use, easily configured, customizable, and flexible relational database that is highly reliable and easily integrates with any system."
"Quickbase system has the ability to process our tickets no matter how many we use a month, working great whether we have a few or up to 200 tickets a month with no problems, and I love the speed and flexibility of this program."
"Our clients have used this to transform almost every business process, including Sales Management, Project and Operations Management, Financial Management, HR Management, and Engineering and IT Management."
"QuickBase has positively impacted my organization by improving workflows through automation, and I have noticed time saved, fewer errors, and other improvements as specific outcomes or metrics."
"One of the best things about Quickbase is how flexible it is."
"QuickBase has improved our lives in so many ways."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"Formulas look like Greek. I need to learn and it just looks so complicated."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"When learning QuickBase, I noticed a shift in its cost structure. It operated on a cost-efficient model tied to the number of users, with invoicing based on applicants."
"Mobile experience isn't great, but there is a new version that is supposed to be coming out at some point in the next year."
"The only advice again is on templates because many companies want to aggregate customer information into a template to submit to either execs or to the customer and QuickBase uses exact forms which are not very helpful and often do not contain the customer logo."
"The table size limits are small for really large apps."
"Although QuickBase functionality has improved over time, the aesthetics appear to have changed very little in recent years."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"You have to negotiate the price because it varies based on the number of users you have, as well as how much cloud storage space you need."
"The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
"The product is cheap when compared to other products."
"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
"The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
"The solution is expensive and geared toward enterprise-level clients."
"Quickbase is probably not the cheapest app out there. That said, it is worth its weight in gold. There is no other app that I know of in the market today that can do what Quickbase does."
