Best solution for fast-paced businesses
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create and deploy enterprise-grade, custom business applications quickly sets Quickbase apart from anything else available out there. It's the perfect tool for fast-paced business environments!
What do you dislike about the product?
Quickbase's ease of use comes at the expense of aesthetics at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in a rapidly evolving, nascent industry, it's impossible to find pre-made software that satisfies our organization's needs. We've been able to build a fully integrated suite of enterprise management tools in short time, and its benefits have been realized in countless ways.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Third party automation service Zapier is an excellent complement to Quickbase.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
We use quick base specifically for accounting and budget keeping purposes. I love that everything is in one place - especially communication surrounding the budget. We use it to put our marketing tickets in so that they can be easily tracked and accounting can pay for them. Nothing gets lost. This program is accessible from any internet connection and does not require a download. You can upload an invoice directly with your budget ticket submission. It even allows you to communicate directly with accounting on the platform. It will send you notifications to your email to let you know when things have changed or if someone else has commented on a specific ticket.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think this is overall a great product. Unfortunately, it adds yet another product to our long list of products we use. We wish we could be able to stream line some, but this is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication in regards to budgeting. There are no longer lost emails of communicating budget needs, changes, and invoices. This definitely solves our issues in this regards. With so many products and so many people on our team, our accountant was struggling with keeping up with all the budget ticket requests. We were using emails to communicate and some times things were said in calls or meeting and were not recorded.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great way to stream line your budget. It allows your team to stay organized and everything budget related stays in one place.
Very useful, though has a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Highly customizable and relatively easy to use (versus setting up a database from scratch)
What do you dislike about the product?
There is quite the learning curve when setting up a new database and relationships between different areas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped us organize a lot of different things in our business.
Quickbase is a powerful, user friendly, workflow and process management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Web based, making it easy to scale and access remotely. App development is intuitive and there are plenty of apps to use as a base for your own.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lack of third-party Quickbase developers in the UK. This means it can be difficult to develop advanced functionality in the UK. The knowledgeable can be confusing and there is no telephone support for development that I could find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creative services workflow. We use Quickbase to receive work requests, triage and assign to team members. We use to manage team resource and load balancing. We also use the platform for reporting and analysing trends in the work that is being requested and from where in the business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider who will support this product internally and who is capable of planning workflows that can be built in the system. Also consider seeking approval from your organisation to invest in training.
Building apps for business on your own - yes you can!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been building and improving the same CRM system for years ... while it is being used ... without a developer, without having a sandbox account, without losing data. Someone (or me) wants something new or changed or updated, I can do it right away, on my own. You can do a lot without coding, and when you do, its pretty straight-forward stuff. Best is the ability to connect Quickbase to other apps in the cloud via APIs (and easily via Zapier), or data-slurping from CSVs ... then you can do Magic. Great flexibility to be the boss of your data, not the other way around.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quickbase apps are hard to share (no github type sharing), the 'app exchange' is a mish mash of stuff to get you started, but you'll quickly be customizing. If you want a canned app, this isn't for you ... the apps you will build can be continually be improved, it can start to be consuming (but everyone will consider you the hero).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've built a CRM application that follows the flow of our sales process. I can satisfy salespeople or management quickly with reports, changes, slick improvements. Now I can directly link their efforts with data from our ERP (via CSV sync), rather than forcing them to use it. Way better than going with Salesforce.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Choose if: 1. Your processes are data centered, but existing apps are limiting. Our product attributes vary so much, a standard product database would never do.
2. You have time to build, expand, and improve as you go along. Basic database needs can be met quickly with QB, but making it a true app takes time
3. You are prepared to be hands-on with the system. This is a feature, not a bug, for running a business app in the cloud in 2017. The good news is that it will make your job easier and less stressful in the long run.

Good product but still lacking in fuctionality
What do you like best about the product?
QuickBase allowed me to easily set up databases from project management tools to data tracking tools. The "coding" was very simple once you got the basic idea. We were looking for a solution to replace Microsoft Access because it's most useful functions seemed to be depleted with each new version.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was still a lot of functions that were lacking in the database software. Some very simple mathematical calculations were made very difficult and formatting reports had serious limitations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had been using Access to track project performance and payments but as Access started moving to the cloud, it got very expensive to add clients as users and basic security functionality was being limited. As a small business, we just wanted to set up a database that could track data and produce reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If all you need is a basic form/database system, the web-based service is really nice. Also, if you fall into one of their categories where database templates already exist, it will be a very smooth transition.
Our solution is QuickBase
What do you like best about the product?
The cloud and its offerings are growing more and more as the dynamics of business are changing; QuickBase being a cloud platform lets its users have the anytime anywhere access that is a growing need. QuickBase is a platform so you are not forced to fit into someone’s box or idea of how your company should be run, you are able to create the box to fit your workflow. As we also use QuickBase internally, we have been able to have the system grow and change as the business grows and changes. QuickBase is a fit for companies large and small.
What do you dislike about the product?
The needs of organizations and individuals change often and sometime very fast. The tech industry has had a profound impact on everything that we do in a business, so much so that sometime products do not always keep up. One of the best things about QuickBase is that it is a platform so it has the ability for its own deficiencies to be filled by 3rd party developers. Currently one of the gaps that is filled by 3rd party developers is the ability to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we have to reach to an outside provider for the most.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For our company alone, it has probably saved us one or two FTE each and every year. The ability to collaborate and transfer information from one staff member to another without each person keeping the information in their own silo and holding on to the company information in their own format has kept communication at a very highly functional level.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to implement QuickBase, make sure the you have a vision and your team is aligned. You do not need to know how to build the vision, but you need to know what the end result that you want to be is, and more importantly your team needs to be aligned in the vision.
Quickbase is easy to use, but has learning curve to master
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use or copy existing Quickbase and modify
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve to master the intricacies of database table management. Notifications cannot be customized for specific time (only days of week).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
share data

Useful for managing laboratory inventory
What do you like best about the product?
We use Quickbase for managing lab inventory of various items, and it has worked well. I like that you can link items from different tabs to easily click through and find the information about related items.
What do you dislike about the product?
Figuring out how to link the items across different tabs is sometimes a bit confusing. When you link things extra columns pop up in tabs you are linking to/from.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has allowed us to have an inventory of many different kinds of items that we use in our lab. It makes it easy to put clear descriptions of the items, while giving them an ID code on the tube where the item is stored. It makes it clear what an item is, how it was made, and what it can be used for.
Quickbase is amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase has allowed a company of over 50 to communicate, coordinate, and manage all of our projects in one place simultaneously which had never before been possible in our company's history.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of ease of use via cell. We need a native app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accounting is being run more effectively, projects are live and up-to-date with current info. We are able to handle larger workloads individually which means more success with the same effort.
