QuickBase Reviews

It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases. It is highly customizable and flexible from entry level use to advanced build features.

This allows our company to maintain records of products created, versioning, costs and production schedules. It also allows for communication with our RLMS.

Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility.

I have been with the company for two years. We have used this the entire time for both inventory and production task flow.

I was not involved with the deployment. When I started with the company that I work for, we were already using this platform.

I have never had an issue with stability or service being down or slow. This solution has been seamless in its functionality.

The only issue we have run into is the lack of support for Chinese language translation for our expansion into the Chinese market.

I have never had to interface with customer support for this product. We interface with an internal person for our support, which is then escalated by them, if necessary.

No, for the way we use this, we have not switched from this platform. It has been considered to be replaced in the future, but the costs of abandoning have been prohibitive.

I was not involved with the initial setup. When I started with the company I work for, we were already using this platform.

I believe this was implemented through an in-house team. The person who manages it currently was self-taught and had not used the product prior. We have recently hired a second person, who is more familiar with the product.

I do not have access to our ROI for the use of this product, although it does allow us to capitalize the production costs of our products over the lifespan of the product.

Make sure that you carefully plan the layout of your apps, and manage requests so the apps themselves do not become too large to manage.

When I started with the company I work for, we were already using this platform.

You can customize an application to best meet the needs of your business is invaluable! As your needs change, you can update your application to change with you.

We no longer have tons of Excel spreadsheets floating around the office to track various things, we can now track and update them in one place.

I wish it had a better calendar feature.

Over five years.

10 out of 10.

Yes, we previously tracked our cases in Access and couldn't be any reporting on our results without exporting.

Straightforward, easy to import our old data and create reports to display it.

In-house.

Unsure.

It's worth it.

Yes, off the shelf case management systems.

It is customizable to the way you run your business.

It has increased productivity by reducing the number of human assets to complete and manage tasks and workflows.

An audit system for tracking user additions, changes, and deletions to records and/or down to the field level.

13 years.

No issues with stability.

It is extremely scalable.

Excellent.

We used spreadsheets. We were able to configure QuickBase to the way we do business.

It was extremely easy. QuickBase provides downloadable templates and online education.

Inexpensive as it relates to increased productivity.

Tested QuickBase. Immediately determined it was the right fit.

Document your business processes and workflows in detail and design the application to fit.

The ability to create apps with no programming skills.

I have implemented automation regarding admin processes, HR, finance, and others. For instance, we manage yearly P&L information by registering all actual and budgeted transactions.

Finance, HR, tracking of Legal documents, digital office, and many others.

Three years.

Like any other project that involves changes in procedures, user acceptance is hard sometimes.

When I started to use QB, during the first year, there was a time when QB was not available for several days. QB was a division of Intuit at that time. No further problems after that.

No issues so far.

Excellent customer service, I always get a quick answer.

Technical support is fine. There are some minor bugs but problems are always addressed.

No, this is my first experience with low-code platforms for building apps.

There is a learning process, but there are enough tools to resolve this.

No, it was all by myself.

Not relevant for this case. I am basically a consultant.

Subscription plans are clear, so costs are clear. The only possible extra cost is consulting if needed, but it depends on each project.

I found no other options for what I needed, which was to implement biz apps, with no IT involvement, and no hardware investment.

Like any other software implementation, you need management involvement, user acceptance, and understanding of project goals before start-up.

The selecting process/apps/components which can be dynamically operated by an end user.

I could not yet verify the existence/capability of the feature, such as how to help a non-IT based user to configure the ERP operating environment on a complex cross-functional process. This seems to be done by support from a citizen expert, but I assume that there might be a sort of standard consulting framework so every citizen expert might be able to follow and comply with consulting/implementation quality standards.

Only two months for bench-marking.

Not available yet.

Not available at this moment.

I have used local ERP, SCM, MES, and Logistics application systems. But all are customized by an end user requirement and hard to consider providing standard/best practices, just function-oriented, and little have capability to suggest a roadmap.

Quite straightforward, but hard to proceed with further configuration for the holistic view of an operation.

No concern.

Experience local best ERP/SCM/MES/Logistics package, but it is hard to position as cloud SaaS.

We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared. The flexibility of setting up reports even for short-term needs has also been very valuable.

QuickBase has improved communication between departments about what's going on with our customers, which improves our ability to work well with and for our customers.

I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen. On the other hand, paper reports are not really the heart of what QuickBase is supposed to do for people.

2+ years

Our deployment went very smoothly. Adoption ramped up pretty quickly as people saw and heard others talk about the ease of use and usefulness of the product.

No. We have not had any problems with QuickBase's stability. QuickBase has always been available when we need it, with adequate warning for planned updates and minimal outages.

No. We have not had any problems with QuickBase's scalability. We started out with a couple of users and a single app, and now have multiple apps and everyone in our organization using it with great success and no real hiccups.

QuickBase has good customer service, both for users of the apps and creators of the apps. They offer regular webinar type training, newsletters, built-in help, and user community type support that can answer most questions.

QuickBase has good technical support as well. We have never had a problem that we could not either solve ourselves with the resources QuickBase makes available or by contacting them and getting answers pretty quickly.

Yes. We used multiple different solutions, and we switched because QuickBase offered us the possibility of bringing disparate departments doing similar things that it would be good for everyone to know about into one system.

The initial setup was both straightforward and complex, in that it required complex thinking and decision-making about what we wanted/needed QuickBase to do, while actually setting it up to do what we wanted/needed it to do was relatively straightforward.

We implemented through an in-house team, although QuickBase did provide a vendor team that helped us along the way and got us up on our feet with an initial, basic app before totally leaving us on our own.

I can't give specific numbers here, but we feel that this has been an excellent move for our company, reducing the number of software solutions we have to use and accomplishing more with that reduced number.

We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive, especially since QuickBase replaced multiple solutions for our organization.

We looked at Bridgetrack, SalesForce and others, though I don't recall everything we considered, since it has been years since we did the initial research. QuickBase very quickly rose to the top as head and shoulders above our other options.

Get buy-in from as many people as possible before purchasing QuickBase, so that everyone feels a part of things from the beginning. Your largest hurdle to overcome will be getting the people in your organization on the same page, rather than actually getting Quick Base to do what you need/want it to do.

API and exact forms are the most valuable features. They have helped me grow my database exponentially.

API functionality has increased the speed of task and project building. Exact forms are used to push data into pre-determined forms for each client.

Report size needs to be extended.

I did not encounter any issues with deployment.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

I would rate customer service as excellent.

I would rate technical support as excellent.

We did not use a previous solution.

It was easy to setup. The GUI is intuitive.

We did the implementation in-house.

Our ROI is at least two full time salaries.

We did not evaluation any other options.

Ask me anything.

QuickBase's ability to provide low-code / no-code development and a fully integrated API in a SaaS solution has revolutionized the way we develop applications.

QuickBase has allowed us to develop approximately 20 production applications that all help business process flows, decrease time spent on reporting and allow for better controls and insight into our operations.

I would like to see a more robust data modelling architecture, one that allows alternate keys and multi-column primary keys.

I have used it for 2.5 years.

We have not encountered any deployment issues. Our deployments have been very effective. We have developed a simple set of best practices, and rolling out new apps and features has worked very well.

We have not encountered any stability issues. The system is very stable. Whenever the system is going to be down for maintenance, QuickBase is very good about communicating in advance and repeatedly.

There are row limits on tables and one of our applications has encountered this limitation. We were able to update the design of the system to spread the data across multiple tables and work around the limitation.

The customer service has been great. We always get prompt replies and our issues are resolved quickly. Pricing and negotiations are always amicable.

The customer service has been great. We always get prompt replies and our technical issues are resolved quickly.

We did not previously use a different solution. We evaluated it as the need to transition away from traditional application development became more apparent.

Initial setup was fairly straightforward. Because all configuration is custom, there was a steep learning curve and we made plenty of mistakes but overall, it went well.

We used an in-house team to implement our solution. Now, we have enough expertise that with the exception of QuickBase add-ons, we don't use third-party vendors for anything

We have evaluated our ROI timeline to be around the 24 month range. This has allowed to already be in the black from our original investment.

Licensing and pricing is very much worth the money. This can be leveraged even more by the fact that one license gets you user access to all the apps you have in production. QuickBase is very open to negotiation and finding the right price point for your company.

Before choosing, we evaluated Salesforce App Cloud and determined that for our needs and price point, QuickBase better fit our needs.

QuickBase has really allowed us to leverage our business users' expertise while developing custom web applications. Our citizen developers' closeness to the business ensures that all the solutions they implement are as closely aligned to the business needs as possible.
