Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used QuickBase to track the activities of the Community Outreach Team - meetings, events, etc. It was used by the Marketing Department to keep track of all activities in one central location.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It gives you plenty of room for detail.
You can sort by user/date/location/event/meeting.

Cons

I don't think this was the best tool for a marketing tracking mechanism. It seemed better suited for sales activities, not marketing.
Extra spaces in the fields would mess searches up.
If the users were not knowledgeable, it made tracking their activity very difficult.

Return on Investment

None that I know of.

Alternatives Considered

I haven't used any other tracking applications.

Likelihood to Renew

I no longer work at the company where I used it.

Likelihood to Recommend

Ask how it will be used in your organization. If it's for sales, then this could be a good solution for you. If it's to track marketing activities, you may want to think about other alternatives.
