Fast Onramp in a Complex Use Case
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is incredibly useful for our business case since it allows non-technical users to function as developers very quickly. We have numerous users who need the ability to spin up small project applications, and are able to do so quickly and with minimal technical training. This allows us to integrate our many complex systems and existing solutions really seamlessly, without contracting externally or hiring dedicated developers. We've also had great interactions with our service reps and the Quickbase team as whole, they've been responsive and helped us find solutions to problems we couldn't solve ourselves. Quickbase hasn't been in our process that long yet (2-3 years), but has quickly become a daily driver for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The largest hurdle that we experience regularly with Quickbase is the lack of official development resources. The Quickbase development community (the Qrew) is really helpful in this area, but there's often not a specific resource that can be found about the types of issues we're trying to solve. This has previously led to our team thinking that they were trying to do something impossible within the platform or that a certain feature did not exist even though Quickbase was capable of solving the issues they wanted it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to Quickbase, a huge amount of the complex work we do (aviation industry) existed in the form of thousands of spreadsheets. This resulted in huge problems when someone would move on from the organization, or simply forget where they had saved a particular sheet. Quickbase allowed us to centralize all our work and bring a lot of those disparate resources together into one central hub.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Quickbase as the Mortor to fill in the gaps of our big block systems like, SAP, Sales Force, Dynamics, etc.
My experience with quickbase has been positive, but my coworkers hate it.
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to create a database of relational data that allows me to update a single form that then updates multiple tables worth of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
My coworkers hate quickbase because it struggles to work on their mobile devices, and the billing system they use through it does not work. They are moving away from quickbase and moving to another form system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OSHA record keeping, work fleet mileage records, water sampling and lab data, and customer directory.
An eye-opening experience to fill your mind with clever ideas and to learn more about the platform
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to customize information and capabilities throughout the business, and tailored to a widely dispersed employment base. Always accurate and dependable.
Our company depends on the QB platform for everyday use, I don't know where we would be without it.

What do you dislike about the product?
The helpdesk. More often than not, when a case is submitted, it takes a long time for the support after the first interaction. I recently had a scenario where I published an updated app from the sandbox, but I could not find any documentation on migrating the sandbox pipeline to the production app. The person had to go research it themselves. A day or more when by and I finally figured it out on my own and let the tech know.
I simply felt that the pipeline helpdesk crew should have known the process or point me in the correct direction - they did not.

Time !! if we are observing a situation that has become time consuming, we will figure out a way to automate it. If we can do it manually on computers, it can be automated through QB
Excellent Conference,very informative & was able to get one-on-one help to enhance my Quickbase App!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how helpful everyone at Quickbase is. If you are struggling with something within your app everyone has been ready to help however they can. I love being able to use the QuickBase university to learn more and put it to use in my current application. We are not live yet but the idea of ditching excel spreadsheets and just using Quickbase sounds amazing!
What do you dislike about the product?
As a brand new builder the most difficult thing I have found is that many of the live trainings feel more geared towards the builders who have been doing this for awhile. I do still find them helpful but can be confusing at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping limit our daily manual process of case management. Saving time on these tasks can allow us to have more time to spend focusing on other areas of our business.

Quickbase is easy to learn and use with huge upsides for our company.
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is straightforward and easy to use, even for someone like me who is self-taught. I was able to build three apps before I even met with a trainer, and it has been a good tool for organizing and centralizing our processes. I like that it allows us to keep everything in one place instead of needing separate apps for communication, inventory, and other tasks. That is a big deal for us because we are a small but growing company, and we do not have the time or resources to juggle multiple systems. It is also flexible enough that I can tweak things as we grow or as our needs change.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our biggest issue before Quickbase was communication. We run two shifts in our chemical manufacturing facility, and information wasn’t always getting passed down properly—things like equipment issues, inventory levels, or what stage a batch was in. We started with paper forms, but they were not cutting it. With Quickbase, we have been able to create apps that help us track and share this information more effectively. It has made communication between shifts a lot smoother, which is something everyone here appreciates.
Another benefit is having everything centralized. Before, we were using different tools for different tasks, and it was a hassle. Now, we can manage things like inventory and production tracking all in one place. It has also helped us keep up with our growth. When I started here, we had around eight employees; now we are at nearly 50. Quickbase has made it easier to scale without adding unnecessary complexity. That said, I am always looking for ways to improve what we have built. I am self-taught, so I know there are probably better ways to do some things. But even with that, Quickbase has been a solid solution for us.

Quickbase has helped with numerous communication gaps that we were having at our company. With all information in one location and available on any device with internet access we can provide the best products to our customers and the best working environment to our employees.
Quickbase has changed the game
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase works for me because it’s simple to use and feels intuitive, especially since I’m not an IT guy—I’m an accountant. It’s similar to Excel in how I can visualize and build processes, which makes it easy for me to create what I need without needing a coder. I also like that it’s flexible. I can build something that fits exactly how we run our business, and if we need to tweak it, we can. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, which is important for us. Another thing I appreciate is how Quickbase lets us manage everything from the point of sale to the point of swinging a hammer. It handles commissions, task management, and ensures things are done the right way. That kind of control is key for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app could do with an update but other than that it's perfect for what we do
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, we were using Google Sheets, which caused all kinds of issues. It wasn’t secure, and it wasn’t built to handle the complexity of our business. At my previous company, we used a Microsoft Access database, but that required hiring someone with specific expertise to maintain it. Quickbase has been a great middle ground—it’s more secure and capable than Google Sheets but doesn’t require a dedicated coder to manage.
With Quickbase, we’ve been able to streamline our operations. It manages everything between the sale and the start of the job, which has made our processes much smoother. It’s also helped us as we’ve grown. For example, we’re splitting our business into two divisions, and Quickbase makes it easy to separate and manage those workflows. We’ve even built a second app specifically for one division, which we can also use as a template for other companies in our dealer network.
The biggest benefit is that Quickbase gives us control and flexibility. We can adapt it to fit our needs, and it’s helped us run our business more efficiently. It’s also a tool I can recommend to others in our industry because I know it works."
