  • One of the best things it does well is make data visualization possible and super easy. With just a couple of clicks you can display a ton of data in a really simple-to-read way.
  • I'd really love to see document creation be part of an internal thing in QuickBase and not just through a plugin outside. Pipelines generally work really, really well, but they can be tricky to set up. So just walking through more of the setup for pipelines.

  • Okay, so in the past when our technician in the field did a job, they send an email with the picture. But at the end of the day, my staff has 100 emails, and it was very difficult for them to try to simplify the information. So now all my technicians have the app. So they take a picture before and after the job. They don't need to think, they just need to follow instructions. The program simplifies all the information for the different departments that I have and the invoicing and the process to answer to the customer service fast, very fast.
  • I guess one of the challenges I know because I asked the staff of Quickbase is when you are dealing with the picture. Because a picture is external, it's an attachment. Right now I have fields that say "Follow 1," "Follow 2," or "Follow 3," because I can't send in, an attachment with multiple files. So that is an issue. But the good thing is most of my jobs, they don't require more than five pictures. When I have more than five pictures, I use another tool.

  • I think it's easy to get set up and running and building systems, even complex ones, pretty quickly.
  • I've found that because it is a low code environment, there are times where you wanted to do certain things, but that's not really what it's built for. Maybe some of that is just a mindset.
  • I think they could increase some of the functionality on the reporting side

  • User Landing Page and User Dashboards can be customized depending on who the user is. Only relevant information and pertinent reports are visible streamlining what the user sees . Since access to QB is roles based, role clarity becomes inherent in a QB system - QB actually forces roles clarity within the process.
  • It is very easy to develop a process workflow in QuickBase. The built in notifications and reminders are very powerful in maintaining and tracking progress across multiple interrelated systems involving different departments.
  • QB is very intuitive and easy to use. It also helps that you can access the database anywhere in the world via internet.
  • More chart type selection for reports - i.e. combination charts.
  • API calls can be cumbersome especially when you deal with process loops (forces you to go non-native).
  • Documentation & version control almost non-existent
  • Management of pipelines need some improvement to make pipelines easier to manage

  • Quickbase is incredibly flexible. You can do almost anything you can think of.
  • Quickbase is a great database system that doesn't require knowledge of specialized database commands, just a simple and easy user interface.
  • Unfortunately, Quickbase is a little expensive, but there are multiple feature levels and payment levels for those who need just a simpler or limited use of the site.

  • QuickBase is extremely flexible in helping you design a solution that maps to the process you are trying to automate. There are very few process issues that I've not been able to create a QuickBase solution to improve.
  • QuickBase has great reporting and dashboards that are easy to create and customize to help line managers visualize and manage the business.
  • QuickBase makes iterative system development possible and even easy.
  • QuickBase connects seamlessly with existing systems like salesforce.com.
  • Quick base automation capabilities have improved immensely in recent years, and I have been able to connect many systems and automate many processes that previously required manual imports.
  • QuickBase administration, particularly their legal department when negotiating a new account agreement, is quite difficult.
  • The QuickBase document management capabilities are ok, but could be improved.
  • QuickBase does not handle non-western letters and characters (I.e. Chinese or Japanese) well.
  • I'm grasping for areas of improvement. Honestly, I am able to make the QuickBase system do almost anything. It's that easy and flexible.

  • One of the things we rely on is that it's really easy to go from concept to developed solution. You can build solutions collaboratively with the customers. That's one thing we're doing.
  • And I think as far as, uh, giving you the insight as far as visuals and graphics, we're leveraging a lot of ours, the dashboards that they've created.
  • And lastly, the automation with pipelines. That has been tremendous with automating a lot of repetitive tasks.
  • Making mobile experience better
  • Improve embedded form support with iframes
  • Better Pricing for small startups.
  • More responsive mobile forms

  • The automation and triggers to move data from table to table is very convenient.
  • The ability to organize apps and tables to display info that is most relevant, as opposed to some other programs that have "cookie-cutter" home pages.
  • There could be some more specific training available to learn some of the more complex formulas. There is a lot of trial and error, although I will say that the "help requests" are answered very quickly.
  • A decent understanding of MS Access and Excel will help you in designing your apps, but Quick Base does use a different format for creating formulas, so there can be some frustration when trying to create some automation in your tables.

  • Quickbase generally plays well with other systems in an organization's application ecosystem. This is important as many organizations have multiple applications in their ecosystem and information sharing and cross application reporting is a common requirement. For example, we have used dimensions from CAD software, merged with information from take offs to produce good, better best estimates for a roofing construction client. In another instance we use QB to merge information between a production management system and CRM to track performance. Having a great api and an active user community is extremely important in this regard.
  • We find that QB users love the ability to produce self-serve reports. This is efficient in 2 ways. Users get the exact reports they need in a timely manner because they don't have to ask a QB developer to make the report for them. QB developers can focus on developing great software instead of writing reports.
  • Organizations are ever changing entities and systems requirements evolve along with those changes. In QB it is relatively simple to make changes to a system. The sandbox is a particularly great tool that allows developers to test changes before implementing them in a production environment. Also being able to change labels in fields without penalty of having to manually cascade changes across the system is an incredible time saver.
  • One recent improvement that has made a great difference to many clients is the ability to specify the drill down report associated with a report such as a chart. This is an example of Quickbase' ability to let users customize their experience with the system which has made a great difference in its usability.
  • It would be great to be able to change column labels in summary reports the same way users are able to do so in table reports.
  • It's great to have calculated columns in reports. It would be even better if you can add more than one calculated column per report.
  • It would be great if calculated columns in summary reports could be based on the summarized data instead of underlying data.
  • Having support for different languages would be great. For example in North America, French and Spanish are important in addition to English.
  • I like the way Code Pages work, I wish there was a way to hook into events on forms to make the form more interactive like React or Vue.

  • Quickbase is flexible to align with how you do business instead of the platform dictating the data you need
  • If you have any issues, support is quick and responsive to resolve them.
  • Project upload from another system and billing projects, plus some reports

  • The user interface could use some more modern
  • Lack of customization
  • Reports are difficult to format

  • Continuous development
  • Allows for rapid development
  • Good help documentation
  • retrieving data from connected tables can be difficult
  • formula summary fields that - fields referencing a non-related table are derived fields that take so much processing 'space' they ground my critical reports to a halt
  • table-to-table updates with pipelines are nowhere near as accessible for the citizen developer as were automations

  • The customizable dashboards are a life saver for our company, allowing different stakeholders and users to view the information specific to them
  • Creating new tables and fields is very easy, especially now with the Smart Build feature
  • Dynamic forms are confusing, and are not intuitive to set up
  • Sometimes we have problems with automations that are supposed to run, and everything looks set up correctly, but it does not always work properly

  • Manage tasks.
  • Reporting.
  • Quick snapshots of project status.
  • Workflow
  • To get reports the way I need them can be quite cumbersome sometimes - all the filters and knowing what and where they show up. I find that I have to do many "trys" before I get what I'm looks for or I give up.

  • I would say I love that it's very user-friendly. It's very easy to build if you know where you're going.
  • It's easy to learn. There is a lot of information on the internet.
  • Google is definitely your friend and YouTube for finding help with Quickbase.
  • Always coming up with new innovative things
  • At this point, there's not much that's missing that I have come across. I think it covers a lot of different aspects of many different industries.
  • I would like to open a table to a default report of my choosing and not have to select that report again to make edits to the report

  • Quickbase's has powerful reporting and analytical capabilities that allow users to analyze data and generate insights quickly.
  • Quickbase - Pipelines offers integrations with a wide range of third-party tools. Such as Outlook, Twilio, DocuSign
  • Quickbase can be easily customized to meet the user's need in every given situation.
  • We would find it helpful if we would be able to see if a field is used in pipelines when looking at the usage.
  • While Quickbase is designed to be customizable, the level of customization available is limited, particularly in terms of UI/UX customization.
  • There are many limitations with the mobile app.
