Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

We create custom Quick Base applications to optimize our client's workflow, provide better control, and improve security. Uses include the replication of existing manual workflows, the capture of additional data for business intelligence purposes, integration, and improvement of approval processes as well as applications to integrate HR, production, inventory, field services, job costing, and more.

Quick Base allows us to do all this with minimal disruption and very high reliability.

Pros

  • Reliability. We build apps, they work well and kept working flawlessly for 10 years.
  • New features are being released all the time.
  • Flexibility in building and modifying apps

Cons

  • English only, I would like french language support or at least French accents.
  • More flexibility to create visually appealing forms
  • Calculated fields aren't updated dynamically when editing a form with detailed records (ie: line items in an invoice form)
We regularly evaluate other alternatives including Power Apps, Zoho, and others but because of the high reliability of our apps over the past 10 years and the new features regularly being added to keep Quick Base up to date, we still think it's the best choice for us and our clients.
QuickBase is well suited to improve processes, manage approvals and create custom applications that integrate all aspects of a department. Great for incremental development that can be adjusted as it progresses based on user feedback.

Less appropriate for accounting and invoicing--it's best to connect QuickBase to a commercial app that does the core of the job well.
