Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Across the entire organization, which is growing exponentially. Quick Base is nimble and easy to setup/use. Initially, we used it to be a central reference but now we are using it for process flows. Looking forward, we are integrating it with other applications to reduce the number of systems the user must access.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Users with basic spreadsheet experience can quickly and easily get started
Security is controlled simply
Customizable dashboards

Cons

Reports only allow for one formula field, so often tables have many added fields to compensate.
Relationships between tables are both easy and confusing...
Sometimes the "view as" works a little wonky. Or what I see when using the option isn't exactly what the user sees.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works very well in smoothing out processes and workflows by removing redundancy and providing ragtime data to anyone in the organization. Some of the things I wouldn't have recommended it for 18 months ago are no longer an issue... For example, accounting, form fills, and email management. I'm not sure there isn't anything QB can't handle.
