Growing Together - Over a Decade of Support for our Organization

Quickbase - The world is your oyster!
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is so flexible that for the most part, if you can dream it you can build it. The new forms tool brings the platform visually into the "new age" so you don't feel like you're working in an antiquated program.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't have proper guidance from the beginning on how to properly structure your build, things can get layered up and messy pretty quickly. Build like you'll be a huge company one day and save yourself the trouble of having to rebuild later! The platform is so flexible that it can actually be a negative as well from the user standpoint - just becuase you can make changes on the fly doesnt mean you should, make sure changes are well thought through before implementing.
Gmail integration is fairly new, but it would be great for this feature to be more flushed out. Something that seems pretty standard in CRM platforms these days is the ability to tag emails to be saved to a specific record. This would be a great feature for Quickbase to implement at the platform level instead of needing a programmer to figure out how to make it work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Quickbase to run practically the entire company. All of our assignments and invoicing are run through the processes we were able to build out.
Powerful at any skill level
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is a powerful and easy to use system. You can be a novice or expert in database design and quickly improve your productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Quickbase tries to be too helpul. It assumes what you are trying to do--and it might be right most of the time--but when it's not, it makes more work for you. I would like to see more support for the document model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase helps us track our inventory, production and testing. It helps us stay organized and make use of the large data.
Efficient scalability and structured workflow management
What is our primary use case?
It essentially works as a ticketing system, and it serves as a useful tool for our large team. It allows us to efficiently monitor task assignments and the different stages of our work with assigned clients. It ensures that everyone on the team has visibility into which clients we are responsible for and the specific stage of progress.

I appreciate the efficiency and organization capabilities of the system and the structured approach it offers for managing multiple individuals working on various books. It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness. Simplifying the system's interface could make it less intimidating for some users who might find the current setup a bit overwhelming due to the numerous clicks and options. Making it more straightforward and user-friendly would be beneficial.
