Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
We use it for many reasons in my department from image release and tracking to Alumni engagement in our many networking event around the country.
- I have been using QuickBase for many years and I find this platform meets the vast majority of my needs in many different areas of my work.
- Don't know if it have Geo Tracking yet or not but that is something that I foresee us needing in the future for tracking engagement.
Do you think Quickbase delivers good value for the price?

Yes
Did Quickbase live up to sales and marketing promises?
Yes
Did implementation of Quickbase go as expected?
I wasn't involved with the implementation phase
Would you buy Quickbase again?
Yes
I have built many apps and am a certified app builder. The apps can be built very simple or very complex. That being said, you don't have to have a lot of experience to create apps but with experience you can create just about anything.
This is so much better than Access.
- Building and deploying business applications faster
It will make my business process more streamlined
This is fairly simple and only requires learning formulas in order to write them.
I have never done that and always created from scratch

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

Yes - I haven't really gotten into the mobile interface very much but I am creating an app now that will use it often to track involvement of Alumni at our events.
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.
