QuickBase Reviews

How easy it is to modify the platform. It's designed very well and very easy to learn.

We kept on having issues with freight companies forgetting to book ahead of time appointments for pick-up and drop-offs. Using QuickBase, ItDuzzit, JotForm. Once we create a PO we automatically send the Pick-up and drop off location an email with a link. They click the link, see a form with the information on the order. They confirm the time or modify it and what ever they put automatically goes into QuickBase.

QuickBase has improved our lives in so many ways. So let me count the ways.

Keeping track of all our prices, keeping over 500 fields of data per item, keeping track of lumping charges on outbound loads, keeping track if clients are ordering in proper incremental orders. Assisting in calculating complex pricing for opportunities. etc...

I would like to see QuickBase add a native solution for sending out PDF files which have parent and child records. (ie an Invoice, Purchase Order, and Sales Order)

AMAZING!!!

GREAT!!!

We found nothing that did it all for us in one cloud base solution. QuickBase does it all. If you can think it it can do it.

Pretty straightforward. It is a pretty logical platform. Well designed.

In-house

QuickBase has helped us catch theft that had occurred and allow us to realize sales opportunities we never had before.

Cost is less than $400/month

I spend a lot of time improving on it. So if you put my time in the past 2 years on this product it would be close to $80,000 of my time.

Yes and it did not do what this platform does.

It is easy to import and export large amounts of data and construct data relationships within multiple apps.

It has enabled us to automate many reporting and alert functions. We have built apps for other departments of our company without any advanced computer programming training or background.

The reporting is very easy to use but opportunities for advanced customization of layout and summary fields can be limited when compared to other ad hoc report writing tools.  Also, some advanced needs have to be dealt with by using third party vendors instead of internal support at Quickbase.

We have used Quickbase for many years.

Quickbase provides excellent customer service and networking opportunities.

The reporting feature has to be my favorite. Quickbase provides you many ways to provide relevant reports to keep your team members on task. The mapping field could use a little improvement. There is a 100 record limitation and you can't change the colors of the pins based on different criteria with out going outside QB. You can only have one default report. It would be nice to create a "Drill Down" report to assign to each report so the user sees what you want when they drill down on a specific report.

With any company that has a lot of silos of data, there are many areas for us to optimize our effectiveness and efficiency. The first improvement we made was the bridging the gap between the acquisition of new customers and the management and development of existing customers.

2 Years

I did all the deployment and development. We did not use any outside services. It took a little time, but this product is pretty straight forward. We moved from Filemaker and Excel Spreadsheets.

Periodic outages are a concern, but overall they are stable. 

The customization and complete set of tools.

It provides a standard place for information retention without individual excel files for each person in our firm.

A year and a half

We didn't know our workflow well enough to implement at first.

Yes. It was a DOS-based database system that was only available on ONE computer in our home office, and it could NOT be accessed via the web.

Some things were straightforward. Some were complex. We did not have enough time because of ongoing projects to devote to the development/setup.

In-house.

Yes. Multiple ones.

You can easily import old Excel data to a new pre-built app. The ability to customize the the database to fit your own company is endless.

Being a small company, we don't have an IT department and love the fact we don't ever need to worry about the database being down.

The ability to add our company branding.

We have used QuickBase since we started back in 2008.

QB is very easy to implement with pre-built apps such as the Project Management app. You can quickly customize it to fit your needs and it's easy to keep improving and growing your app. The ability to easily create reports is nice as well.

We used the Project Management app during an ERP implementation. It was a huge success for tracking the tasks and issues and has grown into a bug tracker and change request log after Go Live.

1 year

No. It was extremely easy to setup and we were up and running in less than an hour.

No. There have been 2 brief downtimes in the past year that we've used Quickbase. They are good about notifying customers when work will be done to the system so you can plan ahead.

No. Our apps have been evolving and growing and Quickbase aids in our ability to do this.

Excellent. They have online tech support and always respond quickly. A tech will even set a time to have a call and remotely log in to work on the issue with you. You can give them access to your app and they will even dig into the problem for you, if needed.

Excellent. They have always helped me and definitely know their product well.

Yes, we tried Zoho as a Project Management app. It was too simple and lacked a lot of features that we needed.

Setup is extremely easy. You can have a functional app in place in minutes thanks to their prebuilt apps. From there, you can customize the app as needed to fit your needs.

In house.

You can easily import old Excel data to a new App. Once you have an App, the possibilities are endless. You can create custom reports and slice and dice the information with ease. I strongly recommend this product to anyone who has challenges at their organization regarding information and data management. It has opened up new possibilities and reduced the stress levels for those who are using it.

We no longer have rogue Excel files floating around the office. All of our information is in one place at one time.

More customization with Branding.

6 months

Nope. Single Sign on and API calls to the databases may take a little time. More of a company challenge than a Quickbase issue.

Nope.

Nope.

A lot of resources are available. Not as easy to pin down the development team.

Average.

Yes, Excel. Too many versions in too many places.

Straightforward. Sign the agreement and off you go!

An outside vendor team. Would not use them again.
