While it has a lot to offer, there are a few areas that could be improved especially for a small business owner like me. The initial setup and learning curve were pretty challenging it took me a while to figure out how to make the most of the platform, and I had to invest a fair amount of time into getting everything just right. Another downside is the cost. it can get expensive, particularly if you need access to advanced features or have a growing team. For a small business, this is def something to consider carefully

Awesome platform, but not for small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
The possibilites are endless and the user interface is very easy. Reports are really nice as well. It seems to be a more "premium" solution in the low-code/no-code arena. Customer support is pretty decent too. I have been able to get my issues resolved rather quickly or sometimes I would figure it out before they respond.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no place for small businesses in their pricing. Businesses that are just starting out would benefit from using this platform in so many ways, but it is just too expensive. I don't even bother recommending Quickbase when clients ask for a low-code/no-code solution because there are many other options out there, while less fancy, they are also less expensive.

We have over 400 employees and we now have a custom-made application that gives us everything we need and nothing we don't with regards to submitting requests and centralizing data.

Easy-to-learn platform with valuable integration capabilities
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case for QuickBase is data management and report generation tailored to our client's specific formatting needs.
How has it helped my organization?
Our clients greatly appreciate the reporting feature, which allows them to view data. This capability enables them to analyze information according to their specific business requirements.

The product's most valuable feature is its ability to link tables like SQL in a cloud environment and seamlessly visualize data in table format. Additionally, it provides an efficient way to create and view reports.

Areas for improvement in QuickBase include incorporating certain formulas like VLOOKUP, commonly used in platforms like Excel. Additionally, they could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time.

How are customer service and support?
I have contacted the technical support team three to four times for assistance with certain features. Their response time and ability to find a resolution are quite good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is generally straightforward, but the testing process behind feature updates may sometimes cause delays in their rollout. Incorporating every feature of Excel into QuickBase can be challenging and may take some time. However, once achieved, it can be utilized as a highly effective tool.
What other advice do I have?
The impact of QuickBase's integration capabilities with other tools has been positive. I've successfully integrated it with two to three business applications, and the experience has been quite good. The seamless integration with different applications effectively enhances the in-house features. It is a more modular version of Excel, particularly beneficial for projects requiring collaboration across multiple locations. However, Excel remains a suitable option for teams situated in one location. Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment.
It is easy for a beginner to learn to use QuickBase for the first time. The instructions, manuals, and videos provided within the tool are exceptional for learning how to use it. After viewing the videos, users can easily build applications with various features.
I rate it as an eight. There's still room for improvement in the UI. Nevertheless, it is a useful tool. Sometimes, I notice a lag in the software during business hours due to the high volume of data being circulated. It needs to perform optimally. The feature to export data in a required format also has limitations, especially regarding the number of records that can be exported.
