To optimize the project-based operations such as managing the product specification, costs, part number, etc.
  • Low code database management.
  • Utilized features that can be applied for multiple purposes.
  • Quick response and resolve the problems by Quickbase Technical Support.
  • Being able to colorize the column headers will be helpful when there are multiple columns in the table.
  • Being able to freeze two or three more columns will be helpful such as freezing the Part Number and its description, etc.

We've adopted Quickbase as our collaborative project management and process adherence tool for the entire department of Technology Services. Quickbase will be our 'one-stop shop' for everything and anything relating to a project: project status, milestones, stakeholders, project schedule, etc. Currently, we use multiple platforms to house information pertaining to projects, Google Drive, SharePoint, emails, network shares etc.
  • The customization of the Quickbase platform is extremely valuable, the fact we can utilize existing apps is also valuable.
  • An onboarding specialist is very valuable and Quickbase does a great job ensuring they set up your environment to your business needs.
  • I believe the room for improvement would be a more object oriented setup, instead of the database design or master keys and creating relationships, a more user-friendly, modular setup would be nice to have.
Quickbase is well suited for operations that have multiple projects on the go across multiple facilities and a channel of the business to ensure a collaborative and centralized location of project information.

We use it in the Process and Production Department in our company. The apps created help in scheduling jobs for the employees that are working in the company. We were initially finding it difficult to find an effective scheduling method and the apps created through QB help with that a lot.
  • Assist with building apps.
  • Provide training and information.
  • Customer satisfaction.
  • Help connecting DB and QB
  • Form arrangements
  • Formula cheat sheet
QB is well suited for any data and all departments. I believe it depends on the user's needs and their dedication to building and constantly improving the app. It does require internet connectivity and it would be less appropriate at places that don't have some internet connection or devices through which QB can be used.

At our company Business Control Hub, we build up processes for other companies and implement them on Quickbase. Our core business is oriented to the processes optimization followed by the implementation using Quickbase along with some other tools, achieving a strong integration between different existing software. This data is presented as dashboards build directly in QuickBase as well as some other tools like Power BI.
  • Integrate information coming from other software
  • The data input is pretty easy including mobile devices.
  • Showing different graphs and widgets that allows generating a Dashbaord.
  • The off-line mode to upload information when connectivity is an issue.
  • Versatility on graphs structure.
  • Automations need to be improved.
Quickbase will be a great option for people that are not specifically software developers but have quite a little knowledge of any programming language. It is also good for companies that want to centralize their information in one single place and navigate thru the information easily. Quickbase won´t be appropriate if some custom design is required regarding appearance.

We use Quickbase to manage training and consulting data. Training data includes events, registrations, attendance, evaluations, and pre and post-tests. Our consulting/coaching data includes detailed action plans, outcomes, session records, and evaluations. Additionally, we use Quickbase to track agencies and their related contacts. We display data for project teams and cross-cutting core services in dashboards.
  • Easy low- or no-code development
  • Filterable reports
  • Role management
  • Customization
  • Ability to copy dashboard pages.
  • Ability to apply a filter to multiple dashboard pages at once.
  • Ability to use custom color defaults (colors can be updated on any button, report, or chart, but must be done on each and everyone. It would be nice to be able to set custom brand standards).
Quickbase is fantastic for organizations looking to increase their data tracking from entry to analysis. Quickbase has intuitive tools that staff at all tech levels can use. It has the flexibility to deeply customize or the ability to launch pre-made solutions from the app exchange. In addition to serving new purposes, Quickbase can take the place of multiple systems you may already be using (CRM, Access Database, File Storage, Surveying platform, Quickbase can do all of that).

It is used across departments. It solves distributed a data collection problem.
  • Archive documents.
  • Real-time analytics.
  • Data collection.
  • More API on the front end and backend.
  • More control on data connection and link table feature
  • Need modern bootstrap mobile interface.
  • More user-friendly form rule editing interface, more control on form rule, like copy rules to another form.
  • More flexible data type/schema, which allows using any kind of fields in filter or joins.
  • Auto increasing index field which duplicates records but editable. Editable duplicate built-in fields to allow better recovery function.
  • Customized pages which allow a non-login visit[or] to collect data.
Quickbase will provide a very quick and powerful solution:
  • When having daily log type data to collect
  • When having user profile type of data to build with a daily log
  • When having users from different locations, and using different devices, and systems

QuickBase is used in several departments. It allowed us to create a unique and efficient way to organize our work and projects. It allowed for a custom-tailored development without needing to involve IT, which was faster and cheaper to the departments.
  • Data Input
  • Filtering Information
  • Organizing workflow
  • Types of reports
  • Types of output material
  • Cost per user per month
Quick Base is well suited to project management, high-volume data retention, and flexibility in builds. It still has some arbitrary limitations on filtering that limit is ability to be useful in some instances.

We use it for many reasons in my department from image release and tracking to Alumni engagement in our many networking event around the country.
  • I have been using QuickBase for many years and I find this platform meets the vast majority of my needs in many different areas of my work.
  • Don't know if it have Geo Tracking yet or not but that is something that I foresee us needing in the future for tracking engagement.
This can be used from a simple database to complex tracking.

We use Quick Base for internal and external purposes. Internally, we use it to manage the details of the employee and all the billing-related activities. Externally, we use it for our clients, for operation-related solutions and smooth business process.
  • Quick Base helps us with workflow-related activities.
  • Quick Base is a no-code or low-code application, so nontechnical people can also use it.
  • Quickbase application helps to send the email automatically to more than 200 people within one click
  • Quick Base is currently giving sync features to very limited applications where they should increase.
  • Quick Base is also giving facility for mobile applications but the summary report is not working there.
  • Quickbase need to improve on Dashboard side where we can see the dashboard professionally.
Quick Base is helpful where there are workflow-related activities, such as in an HR application. Here Quickbase is very much useful where can get rid off of spread sheet and we can see the data on real time basis.

In our company, Quickbase is used for a wide range of team management and trackers for employees. It is also used in data analysis and recruitment.
  • Better collaboration
  • Better visualization for the team
  • Flexible Interface
  • Easy to use
  • Reports are not easily formattable so it should be improve
  • It does not provide a ton of customer support.
If you're searching for a tool that can implement quickly and improve on the way, then it's that is for you. It is also well suited for Small businesses, Human Resources, accounting, medical facilities, places with inventory, etc

Bids are submitted from various clients for hundreds of sites. Instead of passing Excel sheets around, all the data is centralized. All departments involved can input their data. The Project Admin reviews & confirms all data & finally submits [it] back to the client to be awarded/contracted to fulfill the orders of the sites. By digitizing data, we have centralized the data for all departments making it easier to show analytics.
  • [It] can be a quick setup but normally should be done as with any system to have discussions about the application requirements
  • Great reporting
  • Easy to setup notification to alert other users
  • One developer can almost keep up with (2) full time web developers
  • Pipeline enhances the process automation
  • Code Pages add value when connecting to external sites (i.e., Google Maps) to retrieve distance, Lat & Long, and much more
  • Better formulas
  • Better form designs
[...] Quick warehousing for data and reporting is [the] best feature. Allows for some very complicated formulas to handle commissions and such.

Quickbase was used as a client and prospect management database. We housed all of our CMS, DNS, hosting, and other solution usernames and passwords for 200+ clients. We loosely used some tables for project tracking to know at a glance where all new projects were in the pipeline. In a similar fashion, we used a set of tables to keep track of open proposals and the last time a prospect was contacted. We also tracked the reason(s) a customer decided to leave us. All tables were linked to a client's "Company" record so we could always easily grab any data related to a specific customer whether they were still a customer or not.
  • Easily creating relational database tables
  • Simple and intuitive way to generate reports
  • Granular permission control on a per user basis
  • Better or more intuitive project management tools
  • User interface feels a bit unrefined
  • It's easy to generate reports but once you have them it's nearly impossible to change the formatting.
Most of our team used Quickbase as a glorified password manager. It performed this task incredibly well. The rest of our team used Quickbase for tracking new project statuses, which it didn't do particularly well. It's not a proper project management tool (or at least our implementation of it wasn't) so we found it lacked the robust tracking we desired.

In my organization, Quickbase was introduced as a helpdesk ticketing solution [in comparison with] another leading provider. My company wanted complete control over our system and Quickbase was the best option we found. Over the last 3 years, we've grown our use of Quickbase to manage the following: fleet system; complete facilities and tech projects; integrate online status forms with Microsoft Dynamics GP; collaborate [with the] Information Center; host new location pipeline/development summaries; store employee data; complete PCI compliance requirements; control inventory [in addition to other uses]. Quickbase allowed us to create a more user-friendly experience for our end-users while allowing us to create more insights [into] our business operations. The low-code platform is a perfect mix for users of all levels to get exactly what they need out of the Quichbase system.
  • Has plenty of help material for builders
  • Has an excellent support team for any questions or problems
  • Allows for extensive creativity while taking away most of the tedious work to get there
  • Expand the allowances of html/javascript tags for stylings
Quickbase is well suited for many use cases [and] in particular, help desk ticketing. . We were able to create [a number of] table-to-table relationships, notifications and forms for each type of user. Quickbase [has made it easier] to get what we [want] when we [want] it. I have yet to find a scenario where Quickbase [wasn't an] appropriate solution.

We use Quickbase for a wide range from HR & Financial, to team management and trackers as well as data analysis and recruitment.
  • Customizable
  • Flexible
  • Quick
  • Standard across applications
  • Removing [native features] for use cases[.]
  • Javascript
  • Advanced features to use outside of the applications[.]
[It's] well suited to standardized tasks, and systems. Things like recruitment or HR where there are very specific needs and wants that change slowly [over time]. It is harder for things where you have many different needs for similar but not exactly the same groups. It also makes it difficult when you want to simplify for the [end-user] by removing some of the native features.

As a developing team we use Quickbase as an Agility platform which allows us to organize and plan future development and share thoughts for every sprint we get involved in, also it is a good app for real-time insights and automation and that makes development a lot easier for us.
  • Support.
  • Operational Agility.
  • Automation.
  • Customization.
  • Confusing report generator.
  • Individual templates.
Whenever the team needs to organize data this app is a must is better for database tables even than excel or access, but it is not the best well suited for report customization and report generation in that aspect the platform becomes hard to use and sometimes a little bit plain.

We use it to manage [the] workflows of many processes for our services team. This involves multiple ways to view and share data with others. We can also use it to assign tasks and to help project managers do their work more efficiently.
  • Automate workflows
  • Task Assignment
  • Data Reporting
  • Complex Calculations
  • Application Logging
Workflow and project management [are] where Quickbase excels. However, the more complicated workflows can require someone that knows how to code JavaScript to get it done. Custom forms are great to provide a wonderful user experience but can be hard to control if different forms are needed by users of the same data.

Quickbase is one of the central applications used at our company to handle multiple aspects of our company's operations. We use it for asset tracking, user management, user provisioning, user onboarding, billing, reporting, partner portal, and going forward, every other business workflow that we need to add, will likely end up being tracked within Quickbase.

Further, we also use the Quickbase API to link with our infrastructure to automate user provisioning and maintenance, while removing as much human error as possible from the process.
  • Creating extremely useful reports is tremendously easy in Quick base. This makes it very simple for us to keep on top of any sort of statistics, reports, and other items that help with our growth.
  • It is an extremely easy platform to create complex relationships on, without the need of knowing in-depth database development.
  • It has a nice interface which is consistently improving. It allows almost infinite flexibility. It's almost as if you can dream it, you can probably achieve it.
  • I have said this in previous reviews and will say it again here about Quickbase. Though reporting is good, it is not brandable in a detailed fashion, nor is the display customizable. This requires the use of 3rd party developers to make those things available. It is not a show stopper, but it certainly would make everything more streamlined and self-contained
  • Pricing is quite steep. On multiple occasions, I've been wanting to refer small clients to Quick base, but haven't been able to, due to the high priced entry point plan which is out of the reach of most small businesses. The good news is that Quickbase does tend to negotiate better pricing to accommodate business need.
  • The Sandbox feature could use some improvement.
  • Quickbase forms could use an overhaul with better UI and organization.
  • Dynamic form rules are fantastic, but can get a bit unruly when having a lot of them.
Well Suited for:
  • Quickbase is great for a company that is drowning in Excel files and has to dig through tons of folders to find what they need.
  • Quickbase is great for anyone who wants better control over their data and reporting:
Example: We were recently audited by Microsoft for our licensing, and we were able to close our audit case, one hour after receiving the initial email due to the extremely detailed report that we were able to immediately provide them.

Less Appropriate for:
  • A company that doesn't really have a business process that is well known, which would make it hard to implement a Quickbase application for their needs
  • A company that doesn't have the budget to spend a minimum of $500 / month for the Quickbase platform.

We currently use Quick Base for customer bid creation, help desk ticket tracking, resource scheduling, and reviewing resource skills.
  • Easily scalable
  • Link various data sources in a single place
  • Quick Base is extremely easy to learn
  • Quick Base University for everyone, and [it's] free
  • Visibility to Pipelines created by other users
  • Transfer of Pipeline ownership
  • Form UI needs updating
To this day, I have not found a use case where Quick Base was not a contender. If someone asks for a solution, I find a way to make it work in Quick Base. The true challenge is to ensure documentation is always created for every application. Data Dictionaries are extremely useful for future developers when application ownership is handed off.

I use QuickBase as a workflow management system and CRM. It's used across my department, and can be accessed across the whole organization! We use it both to manage and oversee operations, as well as to gain insight into our operations through reporting.
  • Low-code
  • Easy to automate
  • Good support
  • Data structure can be clunky.
  • Audit logs could be improved.
Quickbase is well suited to rapidly-growing companies that want to empower their workforce to become involved in app creation. It's easy to learn and tailor to specific situations. Its structure and automation can make it a powerful tool. Quickbase isn't as well suited to companies with the budget to invest in a more tailored engineering solution.

  • Customizable

We use Quickbase instead of Microsoft Excel for tracking of clients and contracts for agents. It is being used by our inside call center and our Agent Services Department. This allows multiple users to access the information without accidentally deleting it. We ran into many issues using Excel for some of this and it created many problems. Once we starting using Quickbase our book of business and contracting department became much more efficient and effective as well. It's been a wonderful addition and we will continue to use Quickbase going forward for many years to come!
  • It allows multiple users here at work to access the data at the same time without deleting anything of value.
  • It can hold a lot more data than Excel.
  • Using this application as a web based application allows access for all our workers.
  • Not sure what they need to do better right now.
  • They are doing a great job for us as a company.
  • Wonderful product and company to work with.
It's much better than Excel for multiple users within the company. If your company has a lot of clients, contracts, or data in general, then Quickbase is a great way to keep track of that data. It allows many users in the company to input information and also access the information without the worry of deleting it.

Being a construction company, there is a plethora of available software out there, but they all are specialized to one area, not the entire business. This resulted in us using various types of software across the business and managing users and licensing was not efficient. We had CRM software, accounting software, marketing software, production software and the list goes on. Not to mention insane costs to use so many types of software. We tried all sorts of different platforms, each with their own benefits but ultimately we needed something that was a single-source solution for us. Something that could run our business end-to-end and allow to manage one system. That is when we found Quickbase. Quickbase is an amazing platform that has allowed us to eliminate of all the different software we were using and stick to one platform across the business. Quickbase is full featured and has all of the tools needed to create any type of business application out there and the learning curve for development is low. So low, that anyone in the business can create their own applications as well. Quickbase has not only saved our business money but it has streamlined processes and eliminated a lot of wasted office time that would have been spent using other platforms.
  • Data analysis and business reporting: Being able to create detailed reports and charts in a matter of minutes is such a useful tool for a business. Having all business data in one place and being able to see it quickly is very important to us.
  • Custom Application Building: Like I said before, the development learning curve is so low that it allows "citizen developers" to take part in the development of business applications.
  • Simplicity: The user interface is not tainted by fancy views, it is simple and straight to the point.
  • Mobile: Quickbase Mobile is currently not the best interface to use on a mobile device and having this would allow us to integrate Quickbase in more areas of our business, like field services.
  • Developer programs. It would be nice if quickbase offered developer licenses as the system cost is rather high for an individual to use to become a developer of the platform. Having a developer license could greatly increase exposure and functionality of the platform by reducing adoption barriers.
  • Field categories. When a table has a lot of fields, it can be hard to manage. It would be nice if the admin could categorize fields for better management.
For us, Quickbase is an end-to-end software with limitless possibilities. We are able to create applications that suit our business, rather than some construction software that tries to treat all businesses the same. Every business has different processes and procedures and having a platform that can adapt to this is key. Quickbase is an enterprise platform which is great but it does not suit smaller businesses (1-10 users) as the cost could outweigh the benefits.
