Quickbase

Easy to use for end users doing routine data entry, adequate reporting in a tracking type of application. Exports could be more flexible. When an application needs particular enhancements, QSPs are available - though that is not the most cost-effective solution for everyone

Quickbase is well suited for any program that requires elaborate scheduling or calendar related functions

Whenever it comes to working with data I think Quickbase is the best for controlling the workflow.

In my former role, I used Quickbase to track testing efforts, assign out test runs, and it proved to be very helpful to have quick visibility to status of testing, along with ensuring all on my Team were aware of their testing assignments and/or able to pick up additional testing without duplicating work. It also allowed for attaching screenshots, tracking defect resolution, etc.

Quickbase allows end users to build out functionality in a low-code environment. The Pipelines feature for integration is nearly on par with a Zapier or Power Automate as a platform with just fewer application connectors.

Quickbase is very useful for data sorting and viewing, would be good in sales and product development applications. However, in terms of lead generation and marketing funnels, it does not have the same functions as most Marketing online CRM options.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give Quick Base a solid 10. It's well suited for just about any business solution you may need.

Based on my experience, Quickbase would be well suited for companies that have complex projects and data management needs across multiple teams. It's no-code development capabilities would be of really huge benefit for these types of organizations. However, it may be less appropriate for those that have more specialized data management needs that require custom development.

Quickbase is geared towards companies that have at least 20 users or more. And it can handle thousands of users if needed...so very scalable. If you're a company that's growing and scaling and you've got 20 users, 50 users, 200+ users, etc, it's a very powerful and scalable platform. And it's less expensive than some of the more common enterprise solutions out there. But it's really not for super small companies where 3, 4, or 5 max users are expected unless you have a high revenue business supported by a lean staff. We have clients of all sizes, and Quickbase handles the workload very well.

Quickbase is best suited for tracking information that most staff habitually put in spreadsheets. Lacks logic in Excel (unless take time to add); tracking in Quickbase puts much more flexibility into the process. If you want executive, graphic heavy reports, it’s not as good as other products. Data is there but display lacking.

I would say it's less well suited if you're working with old integrable database systems that we're formed into your company from the 1980s early, the late seven.Which is our current company standpoint. We have an as 900 system that was developed by IBM and it was great at its time, but it's still a black and green screen that is, is very specific characteristic and does not integrate with quick face at all. So if that's, you gotta find workarounds for that.

If you're looking for really good reporting, if you're looking for user ability, then that's, then I would say Quickbase is the one that you wanna go with. There's always give and takes with these things, but there is a place for Quickbase and and it's very robust for what it is. It does not dumb it down. But there are things, if you're looking for a powerhouse of data processing, I would say that's probably not the system you wanna go with.

I haven't found any scenarios that that someone cannot use it. But then again, I'm new to this medium, but I haven't found anything.

The best part about quick base is that you can use it anywhere.So I love how it's global. Its idea is global. Features are global. So the fact that anybody with any background can use it and learn it is awesome to me.

I think that's the beautiful thing about Quickbase is we have customers that are from small mom and pop shops, small construction companies that use our add-ons to reach out to clients and let them know, "Hey, we're coming to service your roof today. Is someone going to be home?" All the way up to the large enterprise sides size audience that have extremely complex workflows. So I don't really think that there's any one, shoe size. I think it's one size fits all, and there's different plans that suit everyone's needs.

I think the hardest place for Quickbase to fit is probably trying to do accounting, true accounting where your Sage and your QuickBooks and other products have already done it so well. It's easier to integrate with those than it is to rebuild them in Quickbase.

Anything with lots of data that you gotta update in a timely manner, and then a lot of people can see it it's really good. In order to interface specifically with our, what I do is the robotics process automation. We have to use a lot of behind-the-scenes APIs, calls, and stuff like that. So definitely have, I need a little bit more technical side and knowledge to use that side of it, but it's still very user-friendly and easy to start off with.

I really can't think of anything less appropriate because it's got such a broad spectrum of what you can do with it. I would say project management is probably the biggest thing. You can use it for accounting tracking. Employee information is pretty much anything. Timekeeping, payroll, etc.

It's super suitable for business development applications. Internal development is where people develop their own applications. It's less suited where you have a gigantic application that you need to be scalable, and it's not suitable for that, although you could ask Quickbase to extend the table size to fit that need. But you would really be overextending it by quite a bit, and that would slow down your application.

I think where it's well suited is if you are in the business of managing projects, I think that's great if you're in the business of producing, timelines, things like that, trying to take things on a level above spreadsheet, so to speak. And with some automation, I think that's really where you can get into it—a really simplistic short learner-learning curve. And for collaboration as well.

I think it's very well suited for project management situations. I've seen it used for timecard applications for vendor management. So I think that's fantastic with what my particular company used to do prior to Quickbase was manage a lot of things via SharePoints and Excel spreadsheets. So the database environment's just far more intuitive especially for enterprises.

Again, I think it's a pretty flexible. And so for small projects, it's fantastic because for companies that have, again, a lot of different systems that they're using and they're in spreadsheets. This allows them to really quickly aggregate all their data, integrate systems.So if they're using, external systems like quick QuickBooks, or if they're using they have files like in a Google Drive or what have you, you can easily integrate all that all that information into a single. You can automate the pull and push of data and then report.So it's that ability to quickly integrate your different systems and then be able to report from a single area, I think is where it's really valuable. And then the flexibility with all the new tools that are coming out, they're adding a lot of value, being able to integrate with different systems really easily, natively without having to write code.Those are expanding, so those are really useful. The, again, the challenges I still think are gonna be on the enterprise level, and that's for the clients that I support on the enterprise level. We have a lot of challenges with kind of the the governance and controls.

I'm working in a pretty small company.But honestly I see Quickbase as being like really well for small companies working really well. You can use it on different, sales, warranty, all kinds of things. So I think for, at least for small companies, since that's where I'm based in, it's really great platform.

Quickbase is easy to set up and provides the option of having different roles, so you can have lots going on in your app, with users only viewing and editing what is relevant to them. Their customer support is pretty responsive. I find that if you are looking for a creative (not in the documentation) kind of solution to an issue, you'll need a real support specialist, not through the standard support system.
