Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base
QuickBase is a godsend. Three years ago I began what felt like an exhausting search for the right fit of CRM. Coming from Microsoft myself, I was used to big CRM data and tight information management. I literally checked over 15 potential options for a CRM type software. Some were great, and some fell short of my expectations. After several demos, and downloads I felt like giving up and offering a CRM/software management company a contract to build a custom CRM for our company.
Enter QuickBase.
At the time, QuickBase was still new to the market and I was familiar with Intuit as an accounting software business, so I felt relatively comfortable trying out QuickBase. QuickBase not only came in as the savior with a cape, I was able to implement company-wide protocols, procedures, and a solid strategy without having to attend a coding conference or school to write custom code. The option to do so was absolutely available, but with the ease of use, it did not seem necessary. QuickBase addressed our procurement bottleneck, customer management, sales, internal equipment, employee performance reviews. I could and can make anything that would make sense for our company to come to life with QuickBase.

Pros
- Ease of use when starting from scratch. The ability to clearly understand how your data is being used, and how it links together is what really makes QuickBase a solid choice.
- The community revolving around questions, real-life scenarios, and examples of fully built templates to gain inspiration and or use is a great stepping stone.
- Price point is one of the best I have seen on the market.
Cons
- I would like to see more integration with other vendors with employee time tracking, expenses from mobile apps
- If there could be a functionality for a customer-facing portal or a front-end to interact with our data. We offer an online store that is linked through API to QuickBase, but we had to build the website to work with QuickBase.
- Aside from the custom ability to create reports, I would like to see the ability to change the GUI in a drag and drop type functionality with Apps.
- Microsoft Access, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM), Salesforce Service Cloud, Creedenz, Zoho Analytics (formerly Zoho Reports), Zendesk and Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
QuickBase is adaptable, easy to use and can scale quickly. With either option for a simple drag and drop solution or a more complex code written for a specific application, QuickBase is clearly the winner here.
