Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use QuickBase to monitor competitor companies and other companies in the IT/Security market. Our group also runs evaluations of software. We create forms for the evals, and then let QuickBase do the work to analyze and compare results. It helps us concentrate on the evals and research, instead of spending time with formatting and doing reports.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Training/support vidoes
Abilities to create different views/reports
Ways to link data (relational analysis) for deeper analysis

Cons

More of an online community to share tips and best practices (not sure if other companies are using the products the way we do)
Wizards to guide people with some of the relational functionalities

Alternatives Considered

We selected QuickBase based on price, the UI, and the ability for relational databases.

Likelihood to Recommend

I used it at two previous companies to manage the customer reference program and PR programs. It was great for that.

One way we are using it now is to create competitive reports for sales people. We can easily create customized reports for a sales person in a competitive sales deal against certain competitors, looking for certain features and functionalities. We can give them a report for the customer and say "here are results from our independent lab on how these competitor features and functionalities compare." We can also produce similar reports for partners.
