Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

We use Quickbase to enable over two dozen back-office applications. The user base for each varies from a few users to several hundred. Quickbase allows us to quickly develop and deploy applications to support business operations. It's also flexible enough to allow us to adjust applications as the business needs change over time.

Pros

  • Quick development time
  • Multiple means of exporting data
  • Worry-free deployments (no platform needed)

Cons

  • Data cannot be managed via central source- no mass updates to records. This prevents enterprise deployment.
  • Large datasets cannot be exported. This creates major headaches for downstream data utility.
  • No good workflow tools. Finally addressing API interoperability through Webhooks but prior to that workflow was difficult to design.
Although it lacks the complex analytics, Quickbase was cheaper and easier to use and provided more flexible options for more business cases.
QuickBase replaces a lot of the endless emailing of spreadsheets around the company and keeping those files on shared drives. It also allows us to quickly develop some fairly lightweight apps like asset tracking, document archiving, etc., that non-skilled users can manage with minimal IT support.
