Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use QuickBase for managing projects, sales tracking and demo application for the telecom industry. We implement QuickBase solutions for the deployment of cell phone towers, schedule management, support desk solutions and custom integrations to other disparate systems. We heavily rely on the QuickBase API for fully customized solutions and automation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Time to market is quick
Citizen development
Strong reporting

Cons

Multithreaded would be a plus. The database can be slow.
Increased table limits.
More enterprise level features.

Alternatives Considered

Salesforce

Salesforce is more difficult to development in, however, it is more powerful. I would recommend Salesforce to enterprise level clients that can afford its high price tag. QuickBase is great for smaller shops and businesses not tracking more than ten thousand projects at a time.

Likelihood to Recommend

QuickBase is suited well for tracking things (projects, sites, etc.) under ten thousand. Once you begin tracking things at a higher number QuickBase will become bogged down. It's also useful when the number of users is low. More users, mean more database stress and low performance. Again, QuickBase is single threaded and NOT suited for enterprise level clients.
