Quickbase

Their onboarding process is amazing. They do a really good job of supporting you through your first couple of Apps and showing you how it works. Quickbase University is also well thought out.

Very easy to implement apps on the platform. Short learning curve

I was not part of the implementation effort, but I love the result!

Not at the moment

Input and output are the key. users do not appreciate the work in middleware.

I was not part of the implementation process but seeing that it is working well within Texas A&M Public Health, I would imagine it went well.

It is very easy to implement.

Not really. The implementation was smooth. The most challenging part of implementing is getting people on board to see its usefulness and endeavor to use it on a regular basis.

It made all of us work at the same time on the same page

it would be nice to have guidance on how to build the base structure. We had to rebuild our table structure several times

Just go for it

None

Wasn't involved

I was not directly involved with the initial account implementation, only a bystander. For the app I directly implemented for my department only, I wish I had know to create an app diagram first. I don't remember if that was suggested. I think that would be a great help tip tool when a new app is created, to have a page with a check list of what is needed or how to get started. If you are a regular app builder, then you can bypass it or have the ability to turn it off in the app settings.

the integration was virtually seamless, with the exception of data loading.

really easy and quick.

The reason I'm not satisfied fully was not Quick Base's fault, but an internal problem. We were under funded, under staffed and users were allowed to avoid the system if they wanted. The amazing success that anyone used it should be looked at as Quick Base's strength.

Our first implementation was a challenge. After 3 years with the product now implementations are a breeze and we have used a couple 3rd party resources for add-ons and custom dev.

The QuickBase app does everything we needed it to do for the initial implementation. This app has been continuing to grow and develop additional functionality for the project managers and their staff.

Define application governance from the start. Only provide key users with the ability to create applications so that they don't get out-of-hand.
