Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
QuickBase is used in several departments. It allowed us to create a unique and efficient way to organize our work and projects. It allowed for a custom-tailored development without needing to involve IT, which was faster and cheaper to the departments.

Yes
Did Quickbase live up to sales and marketing promises?
Yes
Did implementation of Quickbase go as expected?
Yes
Would you buy Quickbase again?
Yes
We did. We were able to build a custom-tailored, complex project management and databank within a couple of weeks versus months with IT support. It has become the cornerstone of all the work we complete.
I've used Salesforce and Sharepoint in the past. Both require IT involvement and development resulting in more hassle and slow deployments. QuickBase allowed me to develop what I want when I want.
- Building and deploying business applications faster
- Improving our ability to drive insights from our data
- Improving collaboration across one or more teams
- Solving a specific business challenge
- Building and deploying an application (or multiple applications) that meets our exact needs
We were completely able to design, develop, and deploy a system that did exactly what we needed for our unique business needs. No other software would have allowed us to do this in the same way with such little cost, time, or hassle.
Was able to build a highly complex project management system with automations with zero experience in roughly a week that has become the cornerstone of all of our workflows. Handles project tracking, workload assignment, database collections, reporting out and more. Limited programming experience prior on software just a good understanding of process flows.
For the most part, our system has been "set it and forget it." When we have tried to update certain aspects, we have implemented new features such as the Kanban. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Quickbase Feature Ratings
Integrations and Governance
- Powerbi
- Google docs
- Sharepoint
Not all integrations were successful, though hard to determine if this was more a failure on enterprise structure over programming. Unfortunately corporate controlled data harder to integrate into the system
Not applicable
We have customized landing pages and access rights to various parts of our platform based on job function and responsibilities. This allows us to control access and information flow to the correct people and filter our classified information

Evaluating Quickbase and Competitors
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Product usability. There were no off the shelf programs that could deliver what quickbase can for the price. The development was done by the people using the software the most making it easier and more aligned with their needs.
Wouldn’t. We found it to be a platform that could do everything we needed in one capacity or another.
Quickbase Support

|---|---|
Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
Not purchased. Didn’t know it was available
Had an issue with report linking that even support couldn’t figure out. They took the time to redo the part of the linking that was causing problems and have not had an issue since.
