Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase
Quickbase has enabled us to transform our business on so many levels. It was originally used on a trial basis to replace an expensive, custom SQL database to keep track of customer information. It worked so well, we began tracking our employees, then our vehicles, then non-routine work, accounts receivable, payable, and most recently our scheduling platform. It streamlines our platform for operations on a whole.
- It is easy to use. If I can do it, anyone can. If I can't do it, the support is great.
- The ability to upload forms that are filled out by the database is invaluable and has made our process much easier; not repeating information already on file.
- The ability to attach a file to a record is also invaluable.
- I would like to see each table's home page have the ability to contain a "dashboard".
- Would like to see some of the content available by a third party (such as adding buttons to pages, for example) available without the third party.
We have, as previously described.
I have not experienced any other products that require a subscription.
I get no help from my organization. It can be consuming at times, but it's worth the reward. I've asked the community and even had support from a quickbase person on the phone in the past. Overall, as I previously said, if I can do it, anyone can.
- Improving our ability to drive insights from our data
- Improving collaboration across one or more teams
- Solving a specific business challenge
- Building and deploying an application (or multiple applications) that meets our exact needs
When doing a major update, I usually copy the app and expirment in a "testing" app, then once I've learned exactly what I need to do, I "go live' in the real qpp. I have never had any problems and training people how to use the updated app is not hard, as they are already familiar with the platform.
