Hans De Groot - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner/Operator at Informatieewerkplaats
The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive
Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

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

"All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market."
"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"One of the best things about Quickbase is how flexible it is."
"Quickbase allows quick and easy control of your data structures."
"We've doubled our job capacity and reduced our headcount by 20%."
"QuickBase has positively impacted my organization by allowing business level resources without significant technical experience to create workflows and databases when our IT resources are limited."
"The selecting process/apps/components which can be dynamically operated by an end user."
"API and exact forms are the most valuable features."
"With the notifications and reports administrative time has been cut by more than half."
"No coding is required."
 

Cons

"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"Not everything is perfectly intuitive and some features require you to write some code and/or formulas (for example, setting up recurring tasks or appointments, or color-coding fields based on their values)."
"Increasing the number of native integrations with outside products. Quickbase is already starting to do it but having more integration out of the box with other services would make life a bit easier for new comers."
"There were only a few users who knew how to create the different modules or integrate them, so I think an easy-to-understand training program would help in more adoption of QuickBase."
"Periodic outages are a concern, but overall they are stable."
"There could be better charting, graphing, and forms available."
"I just see the need for more integration with your Quickbooks suite of software and the display of Mobile data needs improvement."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"Unavailability of the support site in case of issues or site down leads to a bad user experience; this has happened recently which added to distrust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
"The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."
"The product is cheap when compared to other products."
"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."
"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."
