Quickbase

I really enjoy the flexibility that Quickbase has to offer. I love that the community is supportive and you can get a question answered day or night. The development team is forward facing and does not shy away from answering tough questions or taking feedback to heart. It seems as though their help desk is an afterthought and they prefer you go to the community for answers. Unfortunately, I have not found much luck asking for help through their online ticketing system. It would be nice if Quickbase owned their "Bugs" and publish them in release notes somewhere so that users don't waste time trying to fix something that is a known issue. It's a fine line and we all walk it, so publish a "Secret List" Otherwise, it is a solid product with very good uptime. It is evident that they are working every day to build a superior product and for the most part, it exceeds expectations.

As a coding concern this QuickBase platform is the best used tool. Just with few conditions and rules we can write formula and solve complex real time problems. using reports we can create and display required information as requested by the customers. Using notifications we can set the email when it is necessary, Pipelines will trigger as you set the rule. Access can be modified as roles. Records can be sorted and filtered with the conditions.

I have not found a use case yet where Quickbase would not be a viable option. It is well suited to any scenario or business that could benefit from faster assignments, improved productivity, centralized data, improved utilization of assets or workflow automation. With its ability to lock down fields based on roles, there isn't a concern of users accessing data they should not be privy too (like financial data).

QuickBase is well suited for any back operation automation. Transforming/automating an existing Excel operation is ideal using QuickBase. When you've need to create a lot of charts, metrics, and analytics, I would recommend using QuickBase. You can also use the platform for creating a fleet of connected enterprise applications. QuickBase works really well with connected/integrated QuickBase applications. I however, will not recommend using QuickBase when you need to perform a front end operation such as a need for an HR portal or case management front ends. At present, QuickBase doesn't allow the creation of jazzy UI with its out of box features while the jQuery, scripting custom pages often suffer with performance issues when large data sets are involved.

I no longer think that Quickbase is the way of the future. They do not fix major bugs in a timely manner, and are releasing basic functionality behind a paywall. I believe that Enterprise Level Tier should be given certain things, like SLAs on Support and up-time. However, as a low-code no-code platform the majority of the accounts, "builders", and users are not going to be able to justify the cost of an Enterprise Tier Plan, and won't be able to use the features that Quickbase continues to advertise.

Quickbase is well suited for all of the following:

• Information organization
• Streamlining workflows
• Closing gaps
• Generating reports
• Getting from Point A to Point B with less clicks

Finance related to keeping track of users or customers on their applications, as well as for billing in restaurants, shopping malls, and groceries.

Quickbase is well suited for Insurance related use cases and Resource management use case.

Quickbase is well suited for teams that regularly perform a lot of manual processes, produce a lot of reports, and send or request a lot of information from end users. Quickbase may be less suitable for small or short-term projects or reporting requirements that don't need to be sustained.

As per my view Quickbase is very well suitable in project management tools, I have seen it is being used in Healthcare industry very widely. Along with other managements tools like resources, and data management tools are also good in Quickbase. Overall one should have a look at Quickbase and its advances over other available softwares

Quickbase is well suited for quoting jobs, creating new jobs, tracking jobs, scheduling crews, inventory and purchase orders, just about everything.

Well suited for data collection.

We have people that schedule customer visits from the office and then field employees that go out and complete those visits. Quickbase has allowed the people in the office to see where jobs are located, the tasks associated with those visits and then assign them to field employees. For the field employees, they can use their tablets, phones or their computers to see their work orders, take pictures of work completed and update the information on that work order and its all done in real time. This has been critical to allowing us to know what's happening in the field and if a customer calls wanting information, we have it available in the office as soon as the field tech saves the record. Area's its not worked well is when its implemented to solve complex mathematical reporting for finances or other complex numbers where the numbers involved are vast. It can complete this with the right builder but it becomes very complex and would need someone well versed in Quickbase to maintain an application like this.

It's a great product if you want to build something on your own or you don't have a lot of resource to implement a different software.

It is suited when we have to create any functionality foran application. It is easy to create and quickly. Less appropriate with JavaScript

Quickbase is a great for allowing individuals with minimal or no development experience to be able to develop due the low-code platform. It is also great for the ability to quickly make live enhancements. However, reports in Quickbase could use some more improvement. My company tends to use other software better suited for reports.

We find it's perfect for our use in this construction process. One of the things that is consistent these days is change and it allows us to make changes very quickly, quite simply either on our own or with a really very good support from QuickBase itself.

It helps digitize workflow and processes that are managed in Excel and Email where these aren't well suited for functional applications and the cost for a custom developed application is prohibitive. It seems to become challenging for use cases that require fast response/execution times or are high complex.

I think it's well suited for processes that have a two or three-table level of complexity where it's transaction oriented. It has a definitive start and definitive end when the record's done it's just a record and it's historic. It works well in that way. One of the areas where maybe it's not so well suited would be electronic signature required, in other words, it doesn't have that feature embedded in its native functionality. So it's a challenge because we have to find a solution outside the system.

It's definitely well suited for a big company that has a multitude of contracts, documentation, legal documents certificates, or whatnot to be able to have those all held in the same place and to make sure that all departments can have access to the information they need from those contracts.

Often times I am asked to provide asset information to different departments within my organization. Quickbase allows me to easily pull the information that they are looking for and sort it any way that they need it to look. Usually, this is done by downloading to a CSV file and after that, I can manipulate it with Excel to provide reports.

I think handling big data is where it hits the limit. It's a pretty obvious ceiling that exists with that. But I think developing a simple app with not a large amount of data is what it's best at.

I'm almost in there every day, really. Any time we need to bring a new department to build an app for them, it's well suited.

A good example I can think of is we have large-scale quality control that we use for live products within the industry. And we were able to up our ability to process by I would say tenfold at least. Just again, doing a lot of pre-qual and a lot of automatic checking that they could then we can hand off to our users for the more qualitative aspects. Areas where it could use a little bit more support: I would say large data tracking for quick responses. A lot of times we need feedback on a minute-to-minute basis and Quickbase runs much more on an hourly cycle. I would say getting speed of use of information and processing when you're looking for something much more shorter scale than say a daily, weekly, or monthly.

I've always used it as a sales portal with different permissions, and I think it's great at all of that. That's something that I haven't seen other people talk through, but at both the companies that I've used it with, it's been really great for that.
