Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase
We are using QuickBase within our department only, which handles strategic communications for fundraising. We are using it primarily as our project intake and management system. We have public-facing intake forms that feed our project management app in QuickBase. This enables our whole team to easily view their active projects, provide updates to project requesters and it allows managers to view workload at-a-glance. We are also using it as an information repository for important lists and stories associated with our work.
Pros
- Workflows/notifications - There are a multitude of options available for setting up workflows that include notifications that go to specified people at specific points in the workflow. This is great for keeping every one on task.
- Sharing data between apps - If you have multiple apps but require a standard data set (such as people with whom you collaborate outside of your organization) you can share that data between apps.
- Powerful formula fields - These allow you to calculate data to show to users on everything from dates, numbers and even URLs.
Cons
- QuickBase has done a good deal of work on their UI, but it still could use some improvement. The apps are very functional, but not particularly aesthetically pleasing.
- Multi-table forms - If you would like to be able to edit fields from multiple tables on the same form, that's currently not possible.
