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

"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"QuickBase has positively impacted my organization by resolving our purchase order and inventory management issues, helping us in revenue management and forecasting revenue, and making data-driven decisions easily while saving significant time and cost."
"The product is easy to use."
"QuickBase has positively impacted my organization, with a huge ROI where our company saved over 3.8 million in one year alone based on developments that year in QuickBase that saved time for many teams."
"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."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"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)."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

". 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 do not know if QuickBase has these capabilities because I only participated in building out the flow, the form, and the process flow, but 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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities."
"The table size limits are small for really large apps."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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