Becoming a better QB user every day!
- Quick Base helps us bring multiple teams, processes, and outcomes together in a simple, user-friendly application.
- As a vendor, Quick Base is among the best at listening to its clients and making changes that make our jobs easier. It's not uncommon to see a new release and find that something you asked about is now possible.
- I'm anxious for new releases that improve administrative audits.
Quick Base- Quick Solution
- Agile development
- User-friendly, dynamic forms
- Mobile usage
- We've always wanted them to include a native ODBC connection.
- Additionally, we've always wanted the ability to query the tables.
- The cost gets high for what it is designed to be.
- A dynamic form that only displays applicable field(s) based on a previous selection.
- Report building
- Workflow/notification creation
- For those that are not Excel-savvy and understand formulas, it can be challenging to understand. The training I've seen speaks as if the student has a basic understanding of formulas. I'd like to see tips on how a beginner can use the Quick Base help, copy a formula, and the thought process in how to manipulate the formulas to work. Create training in taking the same formula and showing how to use it with 3 different real-live scenarios should help.
- I have yet to find an easy way to decide if deleting a report or a field will cause regret later on. For example, I deleted what appears to be an unused report only to find out days later that the report was used as a summary lookup on another report. The other report showed a message "error in displaying report". Unfortunately, QB doesn't have a 30-day recycle bin to grant me the ability to restore the item. This would be a huge win.
Ease of use. I am a SharePoint Evangelist and built many SharePoint forms with complex workflows... and may I add, another application called SharePoint Designer is needed to build those custom workflows. With QB, I transitioned those forms and built the same workflows quickly and easily, all in one app.
Also, in SharePoint, I would have to create multiple "Content Types" to only display the fields that the role needs to see. This process is time-consuming and redundant. Of course, I could download InfoPath (another MS designer tool) to hide fields, make it two columns instead of one, add sections, etc, but why do that when there's an easier, user-friendly solution in QB?
So much data...so little time
- Revenue recognition
- Project profitability
- Project percent completion
- Project management
- Currency translation
- Duplication of data entry
Our Construction Company need for Quick Base
- Automatically Sends Reports
- All in One, 100% Customized System
- Company Analytics Found Quickly
- Need more admin ability to change the look to fit our company and customer need, instead of having to hire an outside vendor.
- Need ability for simple tasks to drag and drop, like some website builders.
- Need the ability to see what fields are not being used, rolled up in a report, so I can easily delete what is not being used in order to save space and increase speed.
Real Experienced Insights of Quickbase !!
- Analytics and Dashboard- it’s one of the must have areas which takes good enough time and effort but with Quick Base, it’s absolutely amazing to have it quickly by some configurations.
- Workflow- setting up role-based workflow is a major need for most of processes automation and QB is simply awesome to make it happen.
- Notifications, reminders, and subscriptions- it’s a great feature which QB offers with great simplicity.
- For an application with low/medium user base (count of users) QB is cost-effective solution reducing time to market by its RAD capabilities.
- Quick Base licensing model - Per user license cost of QB is fine but for clients having bug user base overall licensing cost is too high. Quick Base should reduce the licensing cost for such needs. Quick Base should also think about offering a flexible licensing model where per user license cost of low usage or occasional users should be extremely low. As all application users are always user application that frequently and need to access occasionally e.g. once a month etc. I know based on total users on instance QB offering little better per user license cost but that discount is quite minor. This way we can bring the attention of customers need an application for the big user base.
- EVOI with SSO exception - Quick Base provides an option to add everyone on internet access for any application which makes it open for everyone having URL of application to access the application on internet without chewing licences for each user. It's good but many time we have a need of an exception on EVOI to allow everyone but authorized users of an organization getting authenticated by SSO. This feature can help QB to bring the attention of multiple clients who need to use it for their employee as EVOI.
- Notifications/reminders on an Adhoc schedule - QB offer great features of notification/reminders but as of now it's either trigger based on some event or with the schedule its dependent on the value of the application data field parameter value. But any time we have a need to send email on the frequency of daily (with/without weekend), weekly, monthly or on a particular date/time etc. That is something missing from QB.
- Themes & Animation for improved UI - Although QB offers a standardized UI and it's quite good. But if we need to change the entire look and feel with quick options like themes etc. it's not possible. Also providing animated controls like a carousel, shutter up/down out of the box within an application will improve the user experience. I know it can be done on an HTML code page but I think making it available like standard out of box component will add to RAD capabilities improving the user experience.
Although it's a great platform there are many areas mentioned in the cons section where I request Quick Base to pay more attention and make things better to improve the overall Quick Base experience, making its developers and users crazy about it. In short, the application having needs mentioned in cons section doesn't sit well with Quickbase.
- Easy to quickly start using and start seeing value.
- Available anywhere and doesn't require maintenance on our end.
- Very flexible to work with our business processes.
- On site integrations are getting better but aren't there yet.
- To really do amazing things need to have some knowledge of coding.
Intuitive Platform, Commitment to Customers
The use of the features and functions within Quick Base give us the ability to customize our uses but also provides freedoms for users at all levels to customize for their own unique needs. It provides us with the ability to teach users to re-package the content in the means and methods that are most beneficial for them to stay current and on top of projects.
- Customizable reports, reminders, and monitoring.
- Ongoing commitment to improved performance, functionality, and flexibility to the platform.
- Helpful, responsive, and professional support.
- Greater ease (supported walk through) for development of personalized pages, reports, and layout
- Removal of all content added when a relationship is built, but subsequently removed
- When fields are added, forms created, or changes are made, it can be difficult to see the relationship between what you are changing and what else may be impacted. A way to see a relationship between reports, filters, or other fields when a field is being added or changed.
Quick Base to the rescue
- The low/no code feature of Quick Base is critical to its success in our organization. The ability to design and modify as our actual needs are uncovered is a key feature. We can implement the basic model of moving the data from a spreadsheet and then begin to add features and additional tools as we have time and get feedback.
- Quick Base does a great job of making a lot of data visible in an efficient manner and then to be able to tie that data with other related data to create reports, summaries and charts has been very helpful as well, although that feature requires a bit more effort in design and configuration.
- Just having Quick Base as a resource for database development has opened new doors on process improvements that we would not have thought of without Quick Base. Once we had set up the first app and looked through the Quick Base app library, all kinds of other areas of the business became options to implement its features as well.
- Quick Base is a relational database, however creating those relationships and making them work as expected can be complex and frustrating. Once they are set up correctly, they work great, however it really pays to think through what you want to accomplish before attempting to set up all the pieces.
- Some of the connecting reporting between tables is not straight forward and requires some work around.
- The only types of relationships between table is many to one. There is no many to many relationships without adding a new table between the 2 tables.
- Moving fields around on a form is cumbersome and time consuming.
Lovin' me some Quick Base
We started using Quick Base in our department, but our AVP is so excited about it, he is showing it off to everyone! More are more departments are coming on board.
- I'm not a programmer, but I can create apps that do a lot of the drudge work. This frees up time for the important stuff.
- Quick Base is always adding new features and ways to automate our tasks.
- Support for Quick Base is awesome. We have a dedicated person that helps us build our apps in the most effective way.
- I'd like to see some admin reporting notifications that show all activity in terms of new apps and new users
- Easy to build fields and forms for a customized user experience, based on their role.
- Ability to create conditions to streamline and automate complex processes.
- There are so many options to create reports, which is useful to only share the information a group needs to view, instead of having them sift through a huge report.
- Additional functionality in the Dynamic Form Rules to include the ability to create an action or condition based on if a date falls into a quarter or year, instead of an actual date.
- Ability to colorize/highlight Sections and/or individual fields to correspond with internal processes or to call out a field even more that is required.
- We hide tables to simplify the navigation, however, we still need access to reports based on that table. Would be helpful if there was a master report section that accessed all reports available to that role, even if a table is hidden.
Game Changing Platform for Tour Business
- Cloud based access gives the ability for all team members to view real time from anywhere.
- Ease of use and replicate-able so that training is easy with full accountability.
- Relationship based flow so entry is kept to a minimum. No more double or triple entry.
- Import feature that allows you to enter hundreds of line items at once rather than one at a time. which is based on internet speeds.
- Only the platform for typical business usage. Many needed items are not native, meaning you have to use outside resources in order to complete certain automation or added features.
- Ability to make copy of forms from 1 app to the next. I may create a app that functions differently from the other but can use a particular form that works well in another.
We do marketing outside of QB and doesn't really offer what other platforms do. You can connect to those but cost extra for annual plans, as well as setup if you cant do in house.
- Mobile. Quick Base works pretty well on mobile devices. For the most part, what you build to work on a computer will translate well when working on a mobile device.
- Data security. You have fairly flexible tools that allow you to pinpoint exactly what any given user should be able to see and or edit.
- All in one solution. Quick Base is a little easier than some of the other solutions because it is self contained. For new users, they don't have to learn several different tools.
- Unless you right custom HTML, every quick base app looks like a Quick Base app. There is very little custom branding that can be done.
- It could really use a signature capture field type. That currently is only available through 3rd party solutions.
- Reporting. There is no way to build a dashboard with multiple reports and then use filters that apply to all reports. In fact, filters are really only available when viewing a single report.
Quick Base from my perspective.
- Low Code developments
- API Calls
- Webhooks
- ODBC Connection
- Query against data connections (i.e. once a table is built and connections are joined to other tables, the ability to query against those results manually, like SQL)
Less Appropriate (Needs help): ODBC Connections (built in), inability to write manual queries for advanced developers.
My quickbase experience
- It's very easy for the end user to learn how to use the software.
- It's very easy to learn how to create custom apps and quickbase offers plenty of training.
- It's very flexible, almost any app can be built for any purpose.
- I wish it had better HTML integration for more customization options.
- Quickbase can do just about anything, but you might have to upgrade your plan or buy extra plugins for it.
- More advanced app building can be difficult to diagnose problems.
We are able to test out new processes, and change system elements on a dime. We are very happy with this product.
- Customization - We build out applications for each of our teams. Unlike out-of-the-box solutions, we can build applications to suit each team's current process, increasing adoption and use.
- Flexibility - When a process needs to change, or something needs to be renamed/added, it is a quick implementation. No waiting for IT to get around to it. Done in minutes.
- Support - This company has the best support. They go above and beyond every time. Very grateful for their help.
- Ease of Adoption - This low code platform is easily learned, yet is strong enough that an advanced user does not feel restrained.
- Refresh Times - Data going from one application to another can take up to an hour. Also hard if you have multiple cascading connected tables. Only an admin can push the data.
- Field Data - Would be good to have a report in the back end of where each field is being used, if at all.
Ultimate Non-Coder Loves QuickBase

Just what we needed!
- Cloud based
- Customizable
- User friendly
- Integration with other platforms
- Native java like features
- Varying user pricing
- It tracks comments and details
- It displays tasks that have been completed or have not been completed
- It allows for a summary to be imported/exported

- There could be better support for international applications and languages.
- Training and aid in creating custom apps.
Easy to use Database.
- Organization of clients

Quick-after the initial time invested
- It is very easy to customize with Quick Base. When a project or type of project needs to accommodate a new process change, it is usually something that can be addressed in minutes or under an hour.
- Created new customized reports is a breeze. Need to add or remove a couple of columns -or change the sort or subtotaling - generally can be completed in minutes.
- Email Notifications. We often have important deadlines for deliverables, invoicing and report submissions. Rather than relying on staff’s memory or external calendars, they are many options on how one can setup email notifications and auto report distributions.
- Table icons - For new users, the table metaphor and the icons can be confusing and/or uninviting. The app developer should be able to hide the table menu display and icons.
- Forms design and layout. In 2018, I expect to have a more WYSIWYG input form design. It’s currently awkward and time consuming.
- The overall user interface is very dated- looks “1999-ish”. I know that they are working on improvements, but it is still way behind new users expeditions for a GUI.
Quick Base is your one stop shop for data storage and workflow!
- Easy to create applications
- Great reporting capabilities built in
- Easily organize and update data
- More advanced reporting
- Drag and drop form building with more formatting options
