Quickbase

If you are using an excel spreadsheet or several to track things in a business flow, there are applications that can be used to take this to the next level. You will be able to reduce meetings since everyone can access the same material. You also become more efficient with communicating changes in the system.

Well suited for tracking issues and teams spread across the world, since it is cloud based. It also works well for automatic notifications. Security wise, it cannot currently handle an SFPT connection, so we are unable to use it as a solution for items that fall under specific security guidelines.

Suited: Rapid Database colaborative deployement, Ticket tracking system, Reporting, Data Dictionary, Inventory

Quickbase is great for anyone that wants to work with online databases without getting into advanced details with SQL/Access/etc.

Quickbase is pretty much our duct tape solution for any process in the city. We struggle to use Quickbase well online and when we need to take payments.

QuickBase is well suited for use as a database where you need a lot of flexibility on design.

Well Suited
Requests / Tickets tracking
Give access to multiple teams and groups to a specific application
Simple for less technical users

Fantastic for quick customizable solutions especially to replace 'spreadsheet' applications but not a solution to replace proprietary applications

I only know that it is well suited for project management since it's the only app I've worked with.

Quickbase is well suited for any project requirement task and resource management, requirements tracking and testing.

It's been a great tool for us to streamline the management of our programs, share information across the center, and have multiple users updating information. It's helped significantly cut down on the antiquated approach of sending versions of spreadsheets back and forth. I think there's a lot that QuickBase can do that we're still learning about. Although I know it can automate emails to be triggered upon particular tasks completed, we have not yet had time to work on this function.

QuickBase is very relevant where a lot of data is being entered into spreadsheets. QuickBase allows so much filtering and customization for how data is viewed, it would be perfect for someone who wants to see certain views of spreadsheets. If you are allowing customers or sending forms directly from QuickBase, you may be disappointed with the user experience.

If you have unique business problems that off the shelf software isn't available for, and Excel spreadsheets and other tools are too cumbersome, QuickBase is the platform you're looking for. It's easy to learn, easy to develop in, and very easy for your users to adopt to. If you have custom workflows you're trying to manage, unique requirements for storing customer information, or looking for a way to allow your employees to quickly input information collaboratively, chances are you can have a QuickBase solution in days.

Sales forecasting is where we use it for the most. [We would] like to better understand what we can do to structure it for global account management or activity by market/applications.

QuickBase is particularly well suited to businesses with a lot of moving parts, and participants (i.e. users) that are geographically disbursed.

More suited for manual data entry, not so much for integration with automated products/processes.

QuickBase is probably well-suited for slightly smaller companies. I don't know if I can imagine an extremely large company being able to implement it. I find it useful as a replacement for the many, many Excel sheets all companies seem to have that contain crucial information but aren't bring stored properly.

Well suited for:

• Global operations (effective communications and information sharing across time zones).
• Auto-formatted reporting that takes information from Quickbase fields and loads it into a pre-formatted report template.
• Tracking actions and owners, with automated email notifications and tabular reporting to spotlight stagnation in a workflow.
• Letting users create reports that let them tightly focus on only the information that is relevant to their job.

QuickBase is perfectly suited for accountants and financiers. They do no ask to modify forms very often and they don't need agile boards for their work. The tool might be less useful for such departments as project management departments. IT teams can find it useful as well, but JIRA already has better functionality to track bugs or user tasks.

QuickBase is well-suited for creating and keeping lists of people, addresses, email addresses, entities, etc.

With the right programming I really can't imagine a situation that it would not work well with.

QuickBase is well suited for a someone who is looking for workflow management, wants to assign tasks to individuals and see the status of tasks or projects. Overall it is a good tracking system.

QuickBase is very well suited for anything that you are tracking in Excel. It is usually very easy to even start a QuickBase application based on an existing Excel spreadsheet. It also does a great job for workflow. Instead of e-mailing a file back and forth, it can be kept real time in the QuickBase database and e-mail notifications can be automatically generated.

Quickbase is completely customizable. We have been able to use this platform to develop in the area of 14 different applications to help us manage our integrated ES&H Management System.

Simple user entered/updated data applications are easy to implement, such as form entry and status management. I have not spent significant effort building applications using automated data input but that seems like an area that SQL-based tools have an advantage.
