My thoughts on QuickBase | TrustRadius

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Genentech uses Quickbase in spots across the company. In our department, we use it to track projects to see how talent is being utilized and if anyone has too much work or too little. We also used it (since retired) to track projects between us and our vendors. In the past, we have also utilized it as a problem ticket tracking system.

Pros and Cons

Easy to add and manage users
Powerful database once you understand it how it works

User interface
Easier design

Ease of Building Custom Applications

We have achieved this benefit but are evaluating simpler options such as Smartsheet.

Alternatives Considered

I was not involved in this process. I selected Smartsheet as its replacement.

Citizen Developers Using Quickbase

We have no time to build on our own and instead select vendors to implement it for us. Working with a good vendor however, would be easy.

Goals with Quickbase

Improving our ability to drive insights from our data
Improving collaboration across one or more teams

Likelihood to Recommend

I'd need a higher level understanding of how the various parts of the system work.
