Quickbase: Effortless App Building and Powerful Workflow Automation
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase made rapid app building easy for me, allowing me to quickly prototype and deploy solutions without the need for extensive development work. Its workflow automation is very effective, and the real-time data reporting helps keep everyone aligned. Additionally, it offers a range of flexible customization options.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the application grows, I find that the learning curve becomes quite steep. The configurations tend to get more complex, and I've also encountered performance issues when working with large data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Quickbase for a year, and it has made it much easier for me to build internal applications, manage workflows, and get rid of disorganized spreadsheets.
Best third party database
What do you like best about the product?
Quick Base has helped us set up a database outside of our main project, providing a reliable solution for systems that experience longer periods of downtime. It helped us to provide platform independent solution that anyone from the company can access data related to their nexus.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a great data solution, but the main drawback is that the enterprise package is very expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to its straightforward documentation, integrating this product into various external projects is simple. The clear instructions and wiring make it an accessible and user-friendly option.
Easy and faster to develop production ready application
What do you like best about the product?
Easy drag and drop development with available customisation
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very full for a larger enterprise-level application if it's not planned properly. Customer Support could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With QuickBase, it's easy to create a workflow management application, and it also provides many integration channels via the pipeline feature, which helps to connect to many external systems with very little configuration

Quickbase intigrated smoothly into our legacy system, minimising disruption and minimising time required for deployment, it's instrumentation was very flexible and compatible, the platform has significantly improved data accessibility and processing support, main reason for quickbase integration was platform support and realtime data sharing for business need.
What do you dislike about the product?
While excellent for low code usage quickbase may not support complex customisation, or advance backend logic as easily as traditional framework.

Quickbase act on top of legacy system, extending their functionality without the need of a full rebuild, this helps future proof your operations while preserving existing investment, also there is no downtime or migration as older system can stay operational as well

QuickBase Review
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is very user-friendly and easy to adapt to, especially compared to other platforms I’ve worked with like Salesforce. Salesforce is a huge system with a lot of complexity, and I think it would have been much harder for a beginner to accomplish what I’ve done here if we were using that. Quickbase strikes a good balance—it has the flexibility and features we need without being overly complicated. I also like the drag-and-drop usability, which feels similar to HubSpot but with more functionality. The Quickbase Hours and FastField Hours sessions are also really helpful for learning and troubleshooting. I’ve been able to interact with the team there, and it’s been a great resource for someone like me who’s still learning the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
No way of tracking Audit trail of a user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, a lot of our processes were manual and inefficient. For example, we used to rely on Excel for intake forms, which meant customers would fill out the form, and then someone on our team would have to manually input that data into the system. It was double the work and prone to errors. With Quickbase, we’re working on automating that process so the data flows directly into the system, which will save a lot of time and improve data accuracy.
We’ve also made structural changes, like introducing a parent-child hierarchy for opportunities, which has helped us better organize and manage our data. Previously, everything was in one table, and it didn’t reflect the dynamic workflows we deal with. Now, we have a parent table for overarching opportunities and child tables for specific options, which makes it easier to track and report on things like pricing and customer requests.
Quickbase has also helped us automate processes like lead-to-opportunity conversion and creating pipelines for approvals. These automations have reduced manual effort and made our workflows more efficient. For example, we’ve added validation rules and filters to ensure data hygiene, which is critical for accurate reporting.
Overall, Quickbase has allowed us to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. It’s been a big improvement over the manual processes we had before, and it’s flexible enough to adapt to our unique workflows.

Quickbase has been a game changer for our department
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase has been a great tool for us because it’s flexible and lets me build exactly what we need without having to rely on a big software team. I’m not even part of the software team at my company—I’m a controls engineer—but I’ve been able to create apps that solve real problems for us. I like that I can build something quickly, test it, and refine it based on feedback. It’s also been great for pulling in data from other systems like Sage and making it usable. For example, I’ve set up workflows where we can import massive excel sheets from engineering drawings, and Quickbase processes them in seconds. It’s saved us a ton of time and headaches. The ability to customize and automate processes is why I keep coming back to Quickbase.
Our team's entire workflow is in side quickbase so we are what you would call heavy users.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I can think of is also what separates it from other software. It is highly customizable and once you get comfortable with the software you can build some beautiful apps and workflows....but that takes time. That makes it hard to demo to people who are not everyday users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, we were drowning in excel sheets. Everything was manual—tracking spare parts, managing inventory, and even comparing revisions on engineering drawings. For example, engineers used to spend four or five hours going line by line through a 4,000-line excel sheet to see what changed between revisions. Now, with Quickbase, they just import the file, and in 30 seconds, it flags all the changes—parts added, deleted, quantity changes, or even part number changes. That’s a huge time saver, and it’s caught mistakes that would’ve cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Another big win has been inventory management. We used to lose millions of dollars in wasted inventory because we couldn’t track what we had. I built an app that scans our warehouse inventory and flags what’s available, so we don’t buy parts we already have. It’s streamlined the whole process and saved us money.
Quickbase has also helped us grow. It started with just my team using it, but now other departments like purchasing and engineering are seeing the value and asking to use it. It’s been a slow process, but the results speak for themselves. It’s not perfect, and I still have to fight some resistance from people who don’t see the value yet, but every time I show them how much time and money we’re saving, it gets easier to bring them on board.
