Novice User's Review of QuickBase
I currently work in the information security & compliance department of Digital Insight and we utilize QuickBase as a repository and tracking tool for various audit engagement, project management, and senior leadership reporting.
- Secured mechanism to share sensitive data with business partners.
- Automated reporting provide convenience for users.
- Customized interfaces for role base access.
- Table relationships: I'd like to be able to generate a many to many relationship.
- Copy table functionality: I'd love to be able to just copy an existing table within the same app and modify/customize thereafter.

- Rapid development platform
- Ease of use
- Ease of automation
- Not a true global platform
- Tracking email notifications
- Table size limitations

QuickBase does what we need it to do
Quickbase is used by my organization to track candidates going through the pre-employment process. We need to make sure all background check and onboarding functions are complete. My team, who is dedicated to this process uses Quickbase all day, while 30% of the rest of the organization can access it to review their candidates' information.
Prior to this, we used Excel. Quickbase allows us to stay organized and compliant and allows for real-time updating and reviewing of notes.
- Low necessity for coding, so it's easy to build and keep things consistent.
- We typically don't have issues logging in. Because there is very little "down time" where we can't access the site, we're able to continue doing our work without interruption.
- Interactive reports. I love that I can create a report that I can either download to Excel or click into the individual orders.
- More automation, I'd love to set timed reminders/reports etc., to specific people.
- Better/easier customizability. I have a form that I've figured out how to change, but I need to have the same fields for each client.
- More charts/reports to see on the homepage, so we can see what's going on in the business.

It bends, but doesn't break.
Across the whole organization. Our company uses QuickBase internally to track and manage projects, as well as advises customers on the potential value and use cases that QuickBase accommodates, without being an explicit QSP. In general, for our customers, Quickbase addresses all of the major business problems involved in: project management, schedule management, fleet tracking, inventory tracking, and executive reporting, alongside custom integration to myriad ancillary CRM, ERP, Storage, and PM databases.
- QuickBase allows for the non-developer user to structure and configure their business data in an incredibly easy fashion. This is primarily a UX strength of QuickBase, as initial database and configuration management in other tools is historically a barrier to entry.
- QuickBase provides a comprehensive suite of report generation as one of its primary strengths. Every business relies on a mechanism to query their business data, and there are very few platforms available that reliably eschew the need for cumbersome schedulers and reporting modules, as Quickbase does.
- Time to market for customers. Given the product's 'out of the box' nature, it is not unreasonable for a competent quickbase team to be able to analyze the needs of a business, design, and implement the product faster than any other major saas products available.
- At scale, the platform can suffer performance setbacks. The tool continues to develop, but could potentially benefit from a micro-services centered architecture capable of asynchronous, multiple threads available to callback to the production servers.
- The API continues to be developed, and will benefit from continued work.
- Visibility and continued feature development within the Quickbase sync tool would be greatly appreciated, especially as pertains to syncing 2 native quickbase tables (failure notification, increased visibility to processing)

Quickbase Review
We use it as a checklist and document management system. It is supposed to address having an up to date list of documents.
- Can manage multiple clients -- good for businesses with many clients
- They should have an area where you can link an actual document to the document name within the system.

Snapshot into our experience
My department uses quickbase to track requested time off and vacation time, projects that each staff member has completed, started, or plans to start in the future, and to catalog and score information submitted through our database by tutors that work for our company. Quickbase helps us stay on track and updated on the workflow of our fellow coworkers.
- I love how easy it is to export a quickbase table into an Excel sheet
- Very easy to create templates
- Great way to organize information and then create a report of progress
- Within a table that has been created, I think it would be great if there was a feature to select certain columns and export just those columns to an Excel sheet
March 10, 2017
QuickBase General Review
We have multiple integrations using QuickBase applications developed in-house. These apps are being used by the entire organization, more than 400 users.
- Flexible, allows developers to create applications that are easy to integrate with multiple/different platforms.
- Scalable, all apps are easy to grow.
- Easy to use, web based with friendly interfaces that you can customize as needed.
- Integration with third party solutions.
- User interfaces, while they are friendly, I would highly suggest improving this area.
- SandBox, have not had a great experience with this.

Benefits of QuickBase
QuickBase is used across our whole organization as well as with vendors. The tool allows us to provide simple solutions across multiple areas for workflow, dynamic "single source of truth" information transparency and consolidates/augments information from other applications reducing duplication and inconsistency.
- Quickbase is easier, and cheaper than other database tools to set up and it provides a very nice interface for your end users/customers to navigate. Almost no skills are necessary and what skills you might need for a simple application are easily acquired. Within minutes you can have a tool that is accessible via desktop/mobile device that is dynamic and not at risk for being "old" which is always a problem with email and spreadsheets.
- The Quickbase Community of users is the best I've seen. Submitting questions could not be easier, answers are provided typically within a day, and the solutions offered are spot on. Quickbase support tools are excellent and provide several examples in which to leverage when developing your application.
- Inter-application connectivity that allows areas to customize and maintain their own spaces but share with others is really easy using APIs. Let's face it, no "out of the box" application does it all. So what our company does, typically, is a host of gymnastics to download, add, manipulate, save, and distribute information on spreadsheets which is immediately outdated. Then we spend a lot of time managing the "swirl" of ineffective communications.
- Asking for more is always a balancing act when a tool's greatest strength is "easy and quick." I would like to have more ability to customize forms for data input.
- Although our industry is driving toward a "paperless" environment, being able to download reports is still important. The Exact Form process to develop reports is difficult and not easily achieved when combining figures and tables from multiple tables.

Improve Your Process With The Help Of QuickBase
I used QuickBase to formalize and standardize the processes within the company. I have developed many apps which take into consideration the existing process and automate it for the usage of folks from many functional departments. It's widely used by the sales group to track business opportunity. Another app helps sales, manufacturing, and engineering to prioritize and categorize customers' requests. It also helps in tracking the metrics such as lead time, cost, time to close the business. I have also created a few apps for use within a department to formalize ECN/ECR. This also helps in seeing the workload and in some cases, QuickBase metrics can be used to justify the need for more headcount.
- Ease of customization. You can practically formalize any process through this.
- Ability to create customized reports based on the audience.
- You can restrict the app access based on the role.
- App development can be more intuitive with features such as drag and drop.
- Notification works fine through email. It can be detrimental if it gets lost or lands into spam. Adding a desktop notification (like Google product features) would take away the need for going through emails.
- The need to sign in with a different password across different realms is annoying. It would be nice if Quickbase could streamline signing in through single username/password.

QuickBase is my best friend
Quickbase is used within our Quality and Food Safety Department only. However, we communicate data from Quickbase to departments throughout the organization. QuickBase addressed our need for a streamlined approach to inbound product inspections to improve internal and vendor communication and provides valuable data available for trending purposes.
- Allows the ability to create valuable reports that can be used for data trending. The easy tool for creating reports and charts saves hours of time spent analyzing data.
- Customization.
- The mobile use of Quickbase could still use some work. Several formulas and other features are not effective or operable in mobile view.
- Allow for real-time integrated data uploads. (CSV Sync allows for every hour but we need automated data uploads regularly throughout the day).
Primarily, we use QuickBase across our organization as a traffic manager. It also helps to review historical data about the kind of work coming in to each department - frequency - resolutions - etc.
- QuickBase support responds quickly.
- QuickBase stores a good amount of historical data for review.
- QuickBase has a very simple user management platform.
- I've had to create a lot of workarounds to keep information clean and organized between different departments using the same ticketing system. It involves a lot of extra field names in order to distribute the tickets. For example, Request Type, IT Request Type, Training Request Type.
- With the plan that we have, we pay over $500 a month based on our number of users, but I had to build the platform on my own. I'm sure there are more expensive options where QuickBase would have supplied a more developed platform up front, but that wasn't an option for our budget. If I weren't here to build it, I don't think anyone else could have or would have taken the time. If I leave, my company will have to pay for a dedicated support/maintenance.

Experience with QuickBase
Currently Quickbase is being leveraged across multiple business lines and departments. Quickbase provided a robust and easy to implement solution to track everything from sales leads to corrective actions records. We have Quickbase integrated with multiple other systems using the API provided. We heavily rely on Quickbase relationships between applications and tables, as well.
- The ability to search/filter by name or type through field lists is particularly helpful when searching a large application.
- Using variables in formulas helps us keep char limits and processing time down on large formulas.
- The new dashboards are easy to set up, slick and fast. They help our users find the information they're looking for faster.
- We would love if QuickBase allowed us more storage. With larger applications, 500mb is a very small cap compared to other enterprise level solutions. We are forced to aggressively archive leads which could have been turned into clients if they could have been kept and worked.
- Integrated deployment solutions would be beyond welcome. It's incredibly tedious to make our changes in a copy application, and then make them all again manually in the production environment. It's time-consuming and more prone to error.
- Change the sandbox solution. Currently, if you create a sandbox, you cannot make any changes to production. We have different levels of changes and cannot afford to lock our production environment for weeks on end for a larger enhancement.

Quick review of QuickBase.
We used it to do everything including: job tracking, cost analysis, timely completion, material ordering, permit applications and approvals, track quality control, safety audit results and trends, scheduling, as well as profit and loss for individual jobs.
We also use it to track vehicle repairs, employee training, closing of work orders and billing and receiving of payments. We set it up to do everything we needed to track our performance and to follow our improvement.
We also use it to track vehicle repairs, employee training, closing of work orders and billing and receiving of payments. We set it up to do everything we needed to track our performance and to follow our improvement.
- Many software platforms make you use what they set up. With QuickBase, you can imagine what you need and set it up. The only limit is your ability to explain what you need and why you need it.
- We were able to require necessary data input from our employees that before were left blank.
- Creating reports that can be completed with just 1-button, before we would spend a day or more to accomplish the one weekly report that we can do in just minutes.
- It allowed us to share what each group needed with limiting confidential access to sensitive material.
- Creating ad hock reports on the fly is a powerful tool. When you start creating a program you never know what needs you may have in the future and when you realize the need, you just create a report.
- Calendaring is difficult and tedious at best. With special problems with shifts that go past midnight.
- It was difficult to get started with QuickBase. Not really understanding relational databases and relationships caused issues.
- The team from QuickBase was only moderately helpful with getting this up and running. They were of no help leading me to a plan, it was just fly by the seat of your pants.

QuickBase - Tools for the future.
Quickbase has been the backbone on which our company has grown and developed. It started off as a simple CRM while also being our test platform for many developments. Currently, it serves as the CRM, product and project management system, resource manager, productivity manager and has been integrated with a large variety of applications, allowing us to sell not just a stand alone system but one that can communicate easily with mainstream systems out in the market today.
- Quickbase is exceptionally simple to set up as a standalone database. In a matter of hours, simple databases can be created or imported from the library and usage can begin almost immediately.
- Quicbase is extremely scalable and can easily be grown from a simple, 1 table application, to a massive system covering the entire company. As usage and need for the tool grows, or as the company grows, the tool will grow with you.
- Quickbase is accessible from almost anywhere providing realtime information on mobile and desktop devices without the need for specialized software or any sort of installation. Mobility is a key element in today's world and Quickbase definitely delivers. Being web-accessible your company will always be able to get to the information whenever it is needed, provided an internet connection is available.
- Programming on the platform still requires some complex JavaScrpt injections that require a professional. As much as this-- person will eventually be required, it is important to note that some functions could be "built in". Quickbase does evaluate needs and rolls out monthly improvements to the platform so at times functionality upgrades are just time constrained by development calendars.
- Chart creation could still be improved, as these are at times too "boxed in" to be useful. It is hard to generate some specific reports and the "wizard" used for reports creation will only allow so many options before it is too much for it to handle.
- Quickbase's Mobile platform is where the largest area for improvement currently stands. While is holds most functionalities the "Full Site" has, not all of them are present or fully functional. Quickbase should really dedicate some time to this platform as it is much quicker and easier to use on mobile than the full site and provides a very interesting expansion to app usability.
We use quickbase to manage repeating process flows across the organization. Quickbase allows us to automate a big section of routine business needs and track approvals and execution times, enhancing accountability. Users appreciate being able to checkup on the status of requests from a browser instead of wasting time going to every individual who might be involved.
- Quickbase is very useful for rapidly rolling out basic workflows.
- Quickbase's notification system is very robust and useful. It's the thing that most users "can't live without" in our organization.
- It's relatively easy to make changes to workflows built in quickbase as needs change.
- Getting data out of quickbase for custom reporting isn't as easy as it should be.
- There's no robust ability to generate automatic documentation for Quickbase apps. This is a disappointment coming from other development environments.
- Changing key users (Application owners for example) isn't as graceful as it could be as people move in and out of the organization.

Manufacturing Checklist Application and Review
QuickBase is currently being used as tool on tablets for operators on the floor to access information concerning different job orders. It allows users to access, modify, and review process checklists pertaining to Quality Control for the company. The QuickBase application used was created by the Quality Control team, and is maintained by the same. I looked at using QuickBase to create a custom time-study application for use in validating process times, but was unable to get the software to do what I needed.
- QuickBase has an easy to use GUI, which allows users to understand intuitively what the application does.
- QuickBase is very adaptable and modular.
- QuickBase connects well with other software, allowing easy ports of data.
- Programming. I don't know if it's possible to set up user defined formulae to take input and calculate an output on the fly. I searched for some sort of similar functionality within the program, but couldn't figure out how to get even a simple input box to take the input, run it through a function, and display the output in a box next to it.
- Coming from an Engineering/Programming background, the GUI for development was difficult to use sometimes. I'm sure it's very user friendly for people who are not comfortable with coding, but it felt restrictive when I wanted to change some of the functionality.
Quickbase has been used during last 4 years across the whole organization. We have many assets world wide so QuickBase helped us avoid intranets, logins and restricted access for clients and people who belong to multiple assets. Many of the organization's processes work in the same way for all assets, so we just replicate for each one.
- Quickbase can be integrated with LDAP active directory and it avoids issues regarding identity supplantation.
- Quickbase provides a lot of functional examples that can be customized to our company.
- If you need to implement a process in a short period, Quickbase makes it quicker and faster than other tools.
- The learning curve is short and in less than a week you can start developing and implementing apps.
- Users, Roles and Permissions are easy to manage to customize each app.
- Creating reports is quick and very intuitive.
- API has to be improve definitely, there's a lack of examples.
- Controls need more validators to avoid entering wrong data.
- Formula fields need functions to make developments faster than now.
- If you want to copy an app with many related tables to another app, it could be a mess because in some cases relationships will disappear.
We use Quickbase to capture and manage marketing operations-type requests for one of our clients. It's only used by a few teams in our organization. Its biggest value-add is consolidating multiple processes and tasks into one intake system, a great convenience for our client.
- Ease of design - I am our account administrator, with zero technical background, and was able to build our applications from the ground up.
- Reliability - the system rarely goes down, and support is great with providing updates when the system does go down.
- Reporting - our application has had upwards of 1500 custom reports created - easy to build and very intuitive.
- Possibly more control for the user over form design (i.e. drag and drop sections of the form to be next to each other, change field fonts, etc.) Some of this may already be doable, just outside of my knowledge base.
- Super specific, but it would be nice for user fields to be able to 'clear all' and then add back users you want in the field. When it takes all available users and you have a sizable number of users, it takes a while to clear them all.
- Table to Table relationships - it would be great to have a more direct/simple way to build many-to-many relationships.

QuickBase: Not too bad
Quickbase is used in my organization for project management. It is an excellent tool that allows for fluid movement of project information instead of static documents.
- Quickbase is easy to access and update unlike traditional documentation sites, it allows information to stay fluid and up to date versus static.
- The automatic notifications prevent action items from being forgotten.
- I would like to see historical changes that were made in Quickbase. Right now, I can add a history of when a document was changed but I can't see what changed.
February 27, 2017
QuickBase Rocks!
It's used by the technical support department for daily job activity logging. It's used by field organization for training scheduling. It's used by field organization for specialized process organization and tracking. It's used by entire field organization for machine log organization. It's used by project managers for project tracking. It's used by the entire organization for special activity tracking.
- Easy tracking of activities.
- Easy report creation.
- Very versatile. Can be customized for any database activity tracking.
- Could use more reporting capabilities.
- Tables sometimes hard to relate to other tables.

Why I use QuickBase at Beca
We use QuickBase primarily in our Industrial business line to help manage shutdowns. QuickBase gives us the ability to quickly develop applications to manage all the jobs, tasks, materials and documents required to manage shutdowns. The great thing about QuickBase is the ease of customisation. When the client demands a change, we can quickly implement the change, and suit the application to the client's needs.
QuickBase use has grown steadily in our company, more and more people realise the power and ease of use of this great tool.
- QuickBase is excellent at replacing Excel spreadsheets. Especially when there is a large amount of data involved or where multiple people need to edit the data at the same time.
- Notifications are simple to set up based on customisable conditions. This allows for workflows to be established easily.
- Customising the QuickBase application can be done on the fly. As an administrator, my colleagues phone me from another country, complain that they would like a new field, and I can implement the new field within the minute - which is immediately available to them when they refresh their internet browser screen.
- Importing and Exporting of Excel data couldn't be easier. It just works.
- QuickBase struggles with foreign characters. Many of our applications are in French, and while French characters work in most situations, importing CSV data with French characters still does not work properly.
- QuickBase allows for any number of roles to be set up, with permissions able to be set based on tables, fields, and records. The only problem I have is when I have one person who has two roles. For example, for a timesheet app I have developed, a manager should be able to edit the hours of only his own timesheet, and approve all of his direct report's timesheets. However, by assigning two roles to one person, the role permissions don't work logically, and the manager can now edit all of his direct report's timesheet hours. I have developed workarounds, but they are less ideal than if QuickBase could handle assigning multiple rows.
- Adding documents to QuickBase would be much more efficient if documents could be added in a grid edit report. Currently, the only way to add documents natively is to edit a single record.
- Dropdown fields in a grid edit can be set so that the available choices are limited conditional on another field (usually a parent record). The available choices can also be set based on filtering criteria. However it can't do both. For example, I have a parent table of projects and a child table of tasks, with status open or closed. If I have a grid edit for current issues in a Projects form, I can have a dropdown of project tasks within that grid edit. I can choose to show only the tasks related to that project, or only open tasks, but I can't show only open tasks related to that project.
- Copying from Excel directly into a QuickBase grid edit is very handy. However, somewhere between QuickBase and Excel, strange characters are sometimes added like "\n". This indicates that there was a line break in the Excel data, but I would rather QuickBase just ignored the line break, so I didn't have to delete the "\n" later.

QuickBase - robust tool
We use QuickBooks for project and portfolio management for our Learning & Development division. Once a project is allocated funds then our training developers work towards building courses.
- Reporting
- Easy interface
- Faster response time
- 100% uptime
- Need programmer to develop complex code

The greatest QuickBase of all time
Quickbase is used in our department for tracking projects and the financial health of project initiatives.
- It's great for tracking project status, financial health, resource usage, issues and risks.
- It's also great for tracking test scenarios and issues logged against those issues.
- It's also great for storing project documents and creating pictorial views of a project.
- It would be great if it could use conditional statements.

QuickBase is a solid platform
Quickbase is currently being used in multiple capacities, but mostly in use by our HR department. It helps our HR dept, with the on boarding and off boarding of employees so that assets are enabled and disabled as needed and on a timely basis. It also allows HR and managers to handle all vacation and time off requests in a simple manner where the end users can see and edit their requests as well as their approval status.
QuickBase is also used by all of our employees for time tracking. We've built a basic app which provides us with quick and detailed reports that we can then use to make sure work for clients is billed appropriately and stays within budget.
QuickBase is also used by all of our employees for time tracking. We've built a basic app which provides us with quick and detailed reports that we can then use to make sure work for clients is billed appropriately and stays within budget.
- Very flexible. If you have a process that your business uses, odds are, quickbase can handle it.
- Customization within apps. Quickbase allows for an app to be easily customized based on the user's role in the process. Permissions can be controlled on a granular basis.
- Easy sharing across domains. Apps from another company can be shared with yours and vice-versa. This is important so time isn't wasted on developing an app that may already exist.
- Cost is the biggest deterrent. But, all good things cost money.
- The pricing plans aren't very clear about what they include. It is important to have calls with a rep to make sure everything is understood properly.

An honest review of Quickbase
It being used as an interface between my company and a customer. They are able to see what we're doing as it's being done.
- Data storage
- Reporting
- Database table creation and relationships
- API's
- Better access to built in features such as markers (New or UPDT)
- Descriptive and thorough documentation on using the built in features
