Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Quickbase to organize our workflow on a series of projects involved with an integrated database. One of these projects is editorial in nature (a series of educational texts and practice exams) and the other is more online-content creation driven (assessing smaller standardized test question samples for the company's website.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Organizing complex sets of data in discrete structures
Keeping track of editorial projects with the ability to link directly into our database
Ease of editing within the software

Cons

Relies on a good deal of user input
Sometimes a little slow when organizing multiple tasks on a single project
Lack of aesthetic differentiation within the software can make information seem indistinct, difficult to manage

Alternatives Considered

Google Docs

QuickBase was much, much better and easier to work with than was Google Docs, for our specific purposes that is, Google Docs works very well for some things. We basically just had way too much data to properly organize simply in documents, the move to QuickBase was a very good one for our project.

Likelihood to Recommend

QuickBase is good for coordinating a full team (in my case the team consisted of 6-10 people) on a unified project with different moving pieces. The key thing is that information inputted is retained and remains easily accessible, employees can flow into and out of projects with ease without information being lost.
