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…

The user interface of Quick Base is complex. It can be difficult to navigate, and ideally, it should be simplified to facilitate use by anyone, not just certified individuals. There is room for improvement in front-end functionalities. I cannot deploy and use front-end features anywhere; they must be deployed inside Quick Base. The introduction of hooks would allow for easier deployment elsewhere, such as GitHub. Additionally, their APIs have limitations, such as reliance on XML for backend APIs, which restricts their utility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"The product is easy to use."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBase is its dynamic form capabilities. These forms allow backend automation, making tasks like updating data based on specific conditions much easier."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"The user interface of Quick Base is complex."
"The dashboard is not organized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"The solution is expensive and geared toward enterprise-level clients."
"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
"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."
"The product is cheap when compared to other products."
"The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
