Helpful dashboard, supports offline capabilities for SAP, professional support, and a simple pricing model
I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment. We have people going through all of their shifts without connectivity, yet it automatically later synchronizes well with SAP, without creating extra documents or anything like that. The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us. I love how easy it is to manage the design of the process using drag and drop. I know they are working to make the developer experience even better, and I'm very excited about it. The modernizer element that converts existing ABAP business logic to the cloud-native mobile-friendly solution is a very powerful tool that I haven't seen in the market.

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.

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

Pros

"I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment."
"Since you only pay for active users, and since it gives you an immediate improvement in efficiencies, the ROI is very quick."
"I love how they took the MIT Scratch concept and implemented it into the in-app backend. It makes the app creation so much more intuitive and easy to use."
"The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us."
"The selecting process/apps/components which can be dynamically operated by an end user."
"Great, easy to use product."
"Quickbase's fast setup and easy user management makes it a very versatile tool across all disciplines."
"QuickBase pushes all of our leads that convert to customers through the process workflow in order to get their product installed in a timely manner."
"We would not use any other database product for internal operations."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"With the notifications and reports administrative time has been cut by more than half."
 

Cons

"While we're not in a place of letting LOB analysts build apps, at some point, we may want to give them a bit more freedom - as long as we can limit their ability to harm the ERP data. I would like to see more tools pertaining to this area."
"The modernizer element should convert a higher percentage of the ABAP code, moving it from approximately 75%, closer to 100%."
"Although QuickBase functionality has improved over time, the aesthetics appear to have changed very little in recent years."
"We did not have enough time because of ongoing projects to devote to the development/setup."
"Documentation of how to customize beyond the basics is very difficult to find."
"The way forms are built and displayed could really be improved; it would be fantastic if the forms could be built with a WYSIWYG editor."
"I would still like to see QuickBase use plain English for some of the features."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"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."
"Periodic outages are a concern, but overall they are stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is straightforward consumption based on the number of end-users."
"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."
"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."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"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."
