Quickbase Feature Ratings
Integrations and Governance
- Mostly Office 365
Using Quickbase
25 - We are Public Health within Texas A&M University and the uses of QuickBase are many depending on the department but from what I have heard, it is used from the recruitment of student through going into the Alumni Association.
We do not have an IT department that is involved with QuickBase to provide in-house support.
- Recruiting student
- practicum experiences and tracking
- Keeping Alumni up to date and tracking involvement at events
- Poster creation paperwork and data collection
- Once I was introduced to the program and went to the conference, I started brainstorming about other functions that it could be used for. It was originally used from our Alumni Association database but I have implemented QuickBase into many of my functions at work.
- I'm sure there are ways in the future that QuickBase can help that I haven't even though of yet. I have only been working with QuickBase for a couple of months and have thought of at least 8 different areas that QuickBase can help.
- It has been a great aid to accomplish goal and made it a lot more streamlined and automated. I don't see any negatives in it so far.
Evaluating Quickbase and Competitors
Yes - In my department it was Microsoft Access
- Product Features
- Product Usability
I found out that Quick Base was very versatile and that's what made me want to use it more.
I just wish that I would have heard about Quick Base sooner
Quickbase Implementation
- I was not part of the implementation process.
Quickbase Training
- Online Training
- In-Person Training
- No Training
It is easy to pick up if you had no training but training is good for more complex apps.
Configuring Quickbase
Some - we have added small pieces of custom code - In my opinion, if you know the code it is pretty easy

Quickbase Reliability
Integrating Quickbase
- MailChimp
- Microsoft 365
I believe they do
- File import/export
- Javascript widgets
- AppExchange or similar marketplace
Take some pipeline training. It can really make since of it.
Relationship with Quickbase
