Quickbase

Useful for small custom and specific workflows and tracking. As size and complexity grows the amount of work to keep things working takes more effort.

It's a great product if you want to build something on your own or you don't have a lot of resource to implement a different software.

Allowing multiple data sources to centralize information and analytics to dedup has enabled us to streamline our workflows, improve security, and improve our overall compliance processes.

It is suited when we have to create any functionality foran application. It is easy to create and quickly. Less appropriate with JavaScript

Building a database or ERP system from the ground up with little to know coding experience required. Anything that needs to be tracked there is a way. I would probably not recommend it as a customer-facing database.

Great for tracking and selling leads, tracking a project from start to finish, and monitoring a daily calendar.

We also use it for tracking historical data, and it has proficient filtering capability to do this.

Quickbase allows you to stand up a working database very quickly with little to no professional programming experience. The framework is very flexible and can tolerate change rather well. It will often tell you if you are about to do something that can have real consequences. Quickbase is very good at functional, if you are in a scenario where an attractive or flashy user interface is necessary you will have to expand into some of the less documented advanced capabilities of Quickbase. Things like buttons and layouts have limited options out of the box.

Quickbase is well suited for the following:

1. Automating Workflow
2. Standardizing processes
3. Organization

Something that I'd say it's not well suited for is holding large amounts of archived data. We have some large apps and have had to resort to archiving in places like SharePoint. It's a great platform for tracking work in progress, but with a 500mb table size limit, data storage isn't great.

The Quickbase App Store has a wealth of information and use case scenarios for lots of products. So I'm hard-pressed to find something that Quickbase cannot currently take care of, you know, because just about every problem or use case that has been presented to me to try and find a solution, I know I could either build it or find a template to pick from. So yes, I would say so far, so good.

Quickbase is excellent at automating workflows that require less manual work and boosts the productivity of our team. So we always recommend our peers to use it to save time and effort behind the things which can be automated using QuickBase.

Quickbase is a great for allowing individuals with minimal or no development experience to be able to develop due the low-code platform. It is also great for the ability to quickly make live enhancements. However, reports in Quickbase could use some more improvement. My company tends to use other software better suited for reports.

We find it's perfect for our use in this construction process. One of the things that is consistent these days is change and it allows us to make changes very quickly, quite simply either on our own or with a really very good support from QuickBase itself.

This product is very well suited for the end user for any visual aspect of it. So in my company specifically, our higher-ups just want to see things look pretty. That is where we can make custom forms look amazing within QuickBase

Well-suited. I mean, I think if you're looking to build quick applications and be able to manage them yourself I think it's best suited for that. if you're looking for very, very complex situations where, you know, you would need additional servers and things like that, I think that you probably be better off in a different product.

So anytime you've got a situation where the existing systems don't meet the business case QuickBase is tremendous to fill any gaps in an organization's workflow or situations where there are certain features that don't exist, like imagine an approval workflow that doesn't exist in another system, you can use QuickBase to fill that gap. That being said I see in some cases it is being used too much like an accounting system and not following generally accepted accounting principles. And so you know, with flexibility comes danger. So you really have to understand the accounting flow and understand how accountants think and things like audit trails to keep yourself out of trouble with it.

It helps digitize workflow and processes that are managed in Excel and Email where these aren't well suited for functional applications and the cost for a custom developed application is prohibitive. It seems to become challenging for use cases that require fast response/execution times or are high complex.

I think every industry and every company could use something like this in whatever facet. I think the more complicated an industry is and the more departments a project has to touch, the better suited QuickBase is for it. If you really only need one app in one table, you're not gonna need the platform. But I say the more complicated the better.

I think that the pipelines that have been set up and the integration with other products that are out there. I'm historically a CFO and have been in the construction industry for the past 15 years and working with the SAGE products we have been able to build plugins and to allow us to work with our clients with their SAGE products and that's been invaluable to our customers.

I think it's well suited for processes that have a two or three-table level of complexity where it's transaction oriented. It has a definitive start and definitive end when the record's done it's just a record and it's historic. It works well in that way. One of the areas where maybe it's not so well suited would be electronic signature required, in other words, it doesn't have that feature embedded in its native functionality. So it's a challenge because we have to find a solution outside the system.

So well suited. I think QuickBase is well suited for companies of all sizes and that's something that not many software companies can say. So small companies, companies with only one person, companies with thousands of people, you can use QuickBase because you can streamline workflows, you can build anything or less compatible. I really can't think of it because it just takes away so many problems. It takes away issues of spreadsheets, it takes away issues of communication. It just takes away so many issues in such an unconventional way. I feel like it does disrupt the industry that we have now, so I really can't imagine where use, where QuickBase can't be used.

So since I have limited experience with it that's a little more difficult, but I've met so many people here at the conference today and heard so many stories that it seems like it, it can do anything. I don't know about what it wouldn't work well at cuz I haven't necessarily been involved in that yet. But project management, you know, all kinds of construction, all those things it seems to do really well at.

Really anything in terms of accounting project management, education. I mean, you can use it in anything which is wonderful. Probably less likely probably any industry that has like their own homegrown software. Like the financial industry kind of has their own type of software that they use. That's kind of industry standard. So to compete with something that's industry strand industry standard is very difficult.

It's definitely well suited for a big company that has a multitude of contracts, documentation, legal documents certificates, or whatnot to be able to have those all held in the same place and to make sure that all departments can have access to the information they need from those contracts.

Often times I am asked to provide asset information to different departments within my organization. Quickbase allows me to easily pull the information that they are looking for and sort it any way that they need it to look. Usually, this is done by downloading to a CSV file and after that, I can manipulate it with Excel to provide reports.

Well-suited in tracking any data. So regardless of the industry that you're in, whether it be medical, which is where we're at, I can see it working across several different types of positions, different types of jobs, different departments. I think it's very versatile.
