Room For Improvement

QuickBase requires improvements in training, customization, interface modernization, data management, cost management, and multilingual and mobile support.
It would be helpful, as someone who would manage the form and the process flow, to build out charts or live dashboards or something similar so people can get information right there of how many requests are submitted and how many are pending to be approved.
Scrum Master at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
QuickBase can be improved, as some high-level integration can be tricky to develop without advanced understanding of the APIs and other functions.
Software Test Engineer at Roche
It can be difficult to navigate, and ideally, it should be simplified to facilitate use by anyone, not just certified individuals.
Associate principal engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

Pricing could be cheaper.

Featured Reviews

XavierEspinoza - PeerSpot reviewer
Internal System Coordinator at Red CEDIA
Offers a simplified architecture with outstanding integration capabilities
The integration capabilities of GeneXus are highly valuable for our organization. The metadata obtained within the logic of different systems is also vital. Due to the solution, our company team doesn't have to work with multiple languages and integrations can be made with C Sharp. JavaScript can also be used with GeneXus, the tool takes charge of all the rest and has a simple architecture. The solution can be used out of the box without facing any issues and nothing much needs to be done with frameworks. In our case we need to use Python with GeneXus, we use Ironpython to embed python code in C# .
Morgan Victor - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Test Engineer at Roche
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.
