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

"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"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 ability to put together a basic application in a just a few hours, so you can start using it within days and then easily make additions and adjustments on the fly."
"It has enabled us to automate many reporting and alert functions, and we have built apps for other departments of our company without any advanced computer programming training or background."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"QuickBase allowed us to rapidly build and deploy applications to automate and streamline our organization’s functional activities, and the tool allows me to manage my business by navigating through my dashboards, providing real-time analytics."
"QuickBase has positively impacted my organization by creating a very seamless collaboration across different functional groups or stakeholders and acting as a single source of truth since all the data was in a single repository."
"The selecting process/apps/components which can be dynamically operated by an end user."
"Quickbase is an extremely powerful solution."
"It has increased productivity by reducing the number of human assets to complete and manage tasks and workflows."
 

Cons

"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"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."
"The ability to add our company branding."
"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."
"Technical support is OK. However, it is much better to work with qualified service personnel who understand your specific implementations and process goals."
"QuickBase can be improved, as some high-level integration can be tricky to develop without advanced understanding of the APIs and other functions."
"A few times, the system has seen a traffic jam and very rarely does it go down, but it has had some hiccups this year with our systems being down a whole afternoon."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve.​"
"I would like to see more customization functions of the UI. For example, the ability to modify the color of the tool bar and also the ability to use the getting started but customized for end users."
"A more robust mobile application."
 

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."
"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 pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"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."
"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
"The product is cheap when compared to other products."
