Simple Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is very easy to use with little to no learning curve. It supports a ton of file types which is great when working with a graphic designer or print work and supports very large files. Offers tools to help you track project status and archives past projects that can be found again if needed in future.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not super great for team collaboration. You can tag users and leave comments, but sometimes the threads can get a bit messy and confusing. I also wish there were a way to bulk upload (unless this has been fixed and I am not aware). It can be a pain to upload one by one especially if the work has a lot of versions. For example, we often send out postcards that are all the same project but each one has a different city listed on it. Would be nice to upload in one go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us work the freelancers who are off-site since we can easily provision access and manage our projects with them. Works well in-house as well as we have requests come in from different departments. It keeps all parties accountable and gives us a record of projects completed in the past in case we need to call upon them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well-rounded project management tool but only works as well as its users. This means for it to be efficient users need to commit to using it for the entire workflow process through project completion, which means logging in and actually uploading, commenting, and tracking. This very much depends on the employees' commitment and company culture.
A nice tool to use with freelancers since you can easily create them an account and collaborate with them this way. It is also very easy to use.
Supports a lot of file types which is great for complex graphics files, images, etc...

Excellent no-code platform
What do you like best about the product?
I love that with no IT or coding experience I am able to think up a solution and make it a reality using Quick Base
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downsides of Quick Base are minor integration issues with some of our other programs. Much of this is on our side of the fence, not Quick Base's
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are a lot. Nearly all of our processes are mostly or entirely dependent on Quick Base now. Quick Base has replaced dozens of excel documents for tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend setting aside some time, dollars, and manpower to map out your processes and run Quick Base as a trial. For limited upfront commitment you should be able to get a good grasp on how well it will work. Once you have the data/information in Quick Base it is outstanding how many connections you will be able to find to either automate additional steps or report out/up data that wasn't available or wasn't available as easily before.
The app to overcome any challange!
What do you like best about the product?
Your able to customize this app to meet your needs and adapt as they change. The reporting you can then leverage is awesome in presenting to all levels of your organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I hear frequently is having dashboards customizable for each user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We no longer have spreadsheets tracking various projects and have one centralized placed where everyone can access what they need and we can show what we've done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, you won't be able to work without it!
The best low-code solution I have tried, but lacks an international language protocol
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is an easily learning and trustworthy low-code platform for development of applications. Quickbase provides learning material and has a wide base of users that publish solutions for daily problems in blogs and in youtube. They have also a prompt support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks of an international language protocol, therefore, all the data using portuguese, french and spanish caracters like: ç, è, é, ã etc will be messed when you try to sync data between tables and gmail. The lack of an affordable customer portal is something that really bother us: if your company would like to provide access to your customers/clients in a controled area (with login and password) Quickbase will charge you 15 ou 25 dolars for every user (even if they are only view users).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Quickbase for more than six months and have developed it so far: a contact database for our company, a CRM for our sales team and an application for control and verification of electric bills, which also provides efficiency indicators. We also create processes (BPM) to make our applications work together and synchronized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like many others plataforms you can try before buying. If you are looking for a Low-code development, you have to consider Quickbase. Brazilians, portuguese, spanish and french fellows: you will face problems with non-english caracters (like ç, é, ã etc.).
Easy to build apps
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to make stuff (once you learn how). Easy to customize. Affordable.
What do you dislike about the product?
OMG, where do I start...
#1 most annoying thing: Cannot write data to a reference field. In other words, you can view parent table data in a child table, but you can't edit/write data from the child table view back into the parent. It is SOOOOO annoying to the user experience. Just fix that, and you'll save years and years of wasted clicking by users as they navigate up the table chain to find where the data lives.
#2 most annoying thing. Doesn't have a really responsive search (sometimes if there are too many records, it actually gives you a pop-up window to select the record from). WTF? Seriously? There needs to be some kind of super-fast auto-fill guessing like when one types in the search box of so many other websites.
#3, There's little flexibility with visual look & feel.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asset management, process tracking, CRM, data hosting for other web services (using the QB API).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give yourself a month to learn it. Look at other solutions. Once you start building apps, the switching cost is high.
A powerful tool that is simple and fun to build
What do you like best about the product?
Quick Base has powerful tools for citizen developers that make it easy to build extremely complex and detailed workflows while remaining easy to follow for end users. The company has a fantastic community, and a great help desk that can assist with most if not all of your problems. Cost if also very competitive. Quick Base also integrates with many different cloud based systems. Quick Base has a great API which allows it to connect to many other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Account admins should have better tools to manage their users and accounts. The native charting features can be lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started just with one workflow and it has since exploded into a fully integrated workflow, data management, contact management and various other business operations environment. The entire company is entrenched with Quick Base and it is only growing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask yourself about all the current processes to see if Quick Base can replace them. The more teams that are using Quick Base the better.
Innovative Low Code Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase provides a low code platform for developers of all skills. The ease of development drives adoption, growth and organic growth of the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quickbase could be improved on with a better mobile interface and offline capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase allowes multiple users to log in, view and edit data for seamless and updated data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it now!
Quickbase helps deliver better systems faster
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you don't need a lot of standard programming resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the functionality around table relationships was more robust and the UI was more customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used QB for mostly spreadsheet and MS access driven process replacement and improvement. Because of the online nature and ease of data integration the tool has helped us recognize incredible time savings without high developer costs.
