Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We built over 50 applications to support our business and partners. From basic apps that are on the site to complex apps linking partners, patients including PHI. We eliminate 100s of Access or SQL apps as QuickBase is very easy to convert them and share data across the apps and profiles with granular level security. We have an enterprise version so very strong on security and use MFA.

Pros and Cons

Pros

3rd-party add-ons
Nice GUI and tools to build apps
Secure using features in QuickBase with MFA

Cons

Cost model as we want to go to 1000 users but too expensive
Should allow subdivision, like at the top is company "a" and below are all my other compaines to share data between without having to have a different domain.
QuickBase should allow companies to build apps in QuickBase that clients can buy without being a QuickBase client so I can start small businesses and sell cool web apps. There is no way for a startup to create an app and sell it to the public.

Alternatives Considered

Zoho and many others

Likelihood to Recommend

I rate QuickBase a "9" as they are losing ground to Zoho and others that provide more apps and integrations and at lower cost. QuickBase does have a better product, but I don't see the marketing or sales team doing a good job to demonstrate why QuickBase is better. They need to provide a cost model for small business (5-20 employees) as this could double sales as too expensive for them since they need the enterprise features but the costs is too high to get onboard for small firms.
