Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

We use Quick Base for that space between spreadsheets and enterprise applications. Anytime someone says that they are having people email spreadsheets that are then compiled into one, I think of Quick Base.

Pros

  • Mobile. Quick Base works pretty well on mobile devices. For the most part, what you build to work on a computer will translate well when working on a mobile device.
  • Data security. You have fairly flexible tools that allow you to pinpoint exactly what any given user should be able to see and or edit.
  • All in one solution. Quick Base is a little easier than some of the other solutions because it is self contained. For new users, they don't have to learn several different tools.

Cons

  • Unless you right custom HTML, every quick base app looks like a Quick Base app. There is very little custom branding that can be done.
  • It could really use a signature capture field type. That currently is only available through 3rd party solutions.
  • Reporting. There is no way to build a dashboard with multiple reports and then use filters that apply to all reports. In fact, filters are really only available when viewing a single report.
Great for collecting data from a dispersed and mobile work force.
