Quickbase

Quick Base is well suited for running any business where data, KPI, scaling of the workforce, are important to collect the correct data and implement into readable reports that assist you in squeezing the most out of the operation.

A centralized library in Quick Base was created to manage media received from external stakeholders. Prior to this, there were multiple Excel spreadsheets in different locations making it very difficult to determine the status.

Reports can be generated very rapidly in a very dynamic environment compared to MS Excel. The use of customized dashboards makes it easy to share information with other team members.

Great solution for fairly technical users where you can have some internal champions learn how to use it and create applications to help the business function more smoothly. Fairly cost effective compared with point solutions.

Quick Base is well suited for record-keeping, record-tracking, and databases.

Quick Base is very well suited for our needs to track software changes through the SDLC. The text boxes are not suited to include screenshots. Those have to be attached as separate documentation.

Anyplace where a quick to create and use database is useful. Frequently to replace error-prone spreadsheets. I have used it, for example, to provide a place for questions for my Wiley book. I have also used it to identify sized and target markets. Before Salesforce, I used it for multiple salespeople to track sales leads through the sales cycle.

Quick Base is great for the creation of personalized management tools.

Well suited for business profit improvement of all types.

Personally, I think Quick Base is great at project management, lead times for products, the time needed for the production of finish the product, etc. Where I think it is less appropriate is when you want to use it as a time clock for your employees.

I think Quick Base is better suited when used along with its API. It's super quick and reliable. Only problems we've had with it where due to other systems or providers. I would like to see it improve in the flexibility of how it can display data to a user. There is some room for growth here and could really help set them apart even more.

We use QB as a CRM for sales prospects, implementation, and ongoing service. We now have a process once a client is sold on our service, which was lacking before QB. It is easy to locate clients within QB and we are using it with regularity.

Depending on the management pool trying to implement this solution, a roll out to a new company could fail pretty easily. We reached out to a known Quick Base architect to get us going. Once I saw how it all works, we've been able to customize and maintain our apps without any problem. Bottom line, it's a technical tool, the more you embrace it the more you will get out of it. It's a great tool for what we needed it for. Organizing 8000+ jobs annually has become much easier after creating the Quick Base app.

I think for the organization I work for Quick Base works great. There are several departments and we are all funded in multiple ways, so by being able to use codes for how those hours should be paid, we can accurately use that money for paychecks.

At the risk of over simplifying QuickBase's powerful toolset, if you currently use an Excel file that's shared by multiple users, QuickBase will offer a far more robust solution. A big part of this robustness comes from the ability to design custom reports that allow you to slice, dice and analyse your data very quickly and easily.

If UI / UX customisation is at the top of your priority list, you won't be happy with what QuickBase has to offer.

It can be used in a variety of business types and sizes. I’ve seen larger organizations use QuickBase and also as a small healthcare business we have found its benefits as well. You need someone with some form of technical skill, or you simply won’t get that extra value that is inherent in customizing workflows. You may have to budget a consultant if you don’t have anyone in-house, which can be expensive. Routine maintenance, feature adds, etc. are a necessary part of QuickBase to ensure it’s being used at its full potential. These costs might even be greater than the subscription itself, but it’s where you will drive most of the value and opportunity.

QuickBase is well suited for its highly-customizable apps. QuickBase is very good for companies that manufacture equipment and do the field service themselves.

It works for what we need it to do. Allowing project leads to keep track of work being done at the end of every day and seeing the progress being made is a pleasant benefit of using QuickBase.

Honestly, Quick Base is well suited for any scenario. I've not come across a scenario where it wasn't appropriate.

If you are looking for a product that allows you to be your own IT database manager and build your own relational database based on user input rapidly, then Quick Base is your tool. You don't have to be formally trained in data management, you just have to understand what business problem you want to solve. No waiting on long IT queues to make changes or getting lost in translation. Users can make the changes they need on the fly. This is the real value.

I have only used Quick Base for tracking projects for my professional services teams. But this is the third (out of 3) companies I have used it at.

Quick Base is well suited to every kind of database. The software is transparent and easily adjustable.

I am a firm believer that if you can think of a solution you can build that solution with QuickBase. The scenarios that may not be possible will likely deal with coding and adding in specific functionality as it relates to unique requirements per a specific application. If you are a single person business, this is a good way to manage data and have it accessible, however, the limitation is that you need to purchase at least 25 licenses for users. While it is not very expensive in relation to other options on the market, the need for 24 additional licenses may seem a little overkill until they offer a single license format for 1 or 2 member companies.

Quick Base is well suited for fast growing businesses where rapid system growth is expected. It allows for rapid process growth and development.
Quick Base, if not set up correctly can start seeing negative impacts when the business scales to a larger size. However, they offer extensive support and have trusted third parties to assist with building optimized apps.

I only use it for tracking time and worked performed, and it is well suited for that purpose. I have no other knowledge on the use of Quick Base.
