Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

QuickvBase is being used for project management and asset management. It is being used across departments (but not across the whole company). It solved the business problems of sending information about assets to our customer facing systems. It also provides project management and time tracking for content development work. We are able to do extensive reporting on assets as well as projects.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Flexibility to build out the fields and tables needed for your specific business case - allows you to make it what you need
Dynamic reporting - the dynamic filters on the left of the reports allow you to quickly filter and see different subsets of data
Ease of building - easy to build out new tables, relate them together, as changes are needed

Cons

Table to table relationships - would be preferable to be able to make a 1 to 1 relationship
Cannot easily move tables between applications and keep relationships between those tables
User roles - can be confusing how to control which users can have access to which portions of the application

Alternatives Considered

I was not involved in the process of selecting Quick Base.

Likelihood to Recommend

Good for when you want to architect your entire database and have relationships but don't have the experience to build all back end. QB can provide good user interfaces but could be improved in customizations for the UI. QB has more advanced features if you have more experience but has been actively working to make those advanced features more approachable to citizen developers.
