Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quick Base is being used for business process management. It is used across the whole organization from operations through to sales reporting to allow for visualization of metrics across the board. It allows users fast access to data across multiple streams of business processes. It alleviates the need to manually communicate menial updates to the team.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Automated data management
Graphs and reporting tools
Communication is automated via email, and even text messages

Cons

More storage space on the Quick Base server
Lower prices for higher volume users
Mobile app log in with fingerprint

Alternatives Considered

MS SharePoint / SQL

Quick Base is a live database that is updated as users input data into it - SharePoint was previously used and we needed to push data into our SharePoint folder in order to update the data. It presented the challenge of multiple users being able to access and modify different records at the same time.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited: Data management to internal team members who have access to a computer or need to send notifications to external parties. We use Quick Base to manage orders and communicate to our customers on the status of each order.
Less appropriate: As an interface to customers to allow for direct communication into Quick Base - users can access a survey page, but there are limits on engagement with the app not being user-friendly with the latest features like fingerprint reading or face ID.
