Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

[It’s] used by particular departments for various solutions that current IT needs weren't enough to address. One department uses it for invoice requests; another uses for electronic surveys.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Quickbase is extremely versatile. I have solved multiple business problems with it.
Quickbase just works, which is essential for a cloud software solution today.
Quickbase support is excellent and responsive.

Cons

Quickbase has somewhat of a learning curve. You need to be technologically inclined.
I recommend a consultant if you need a complex solution.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Access

Quickbase is what Microsoft Access always dreamed to be. It is cloud based and much more intuitive than Access.

We use Quickbase successfully for everything from tracking time to submitting invoice requests to keeping track of all event logistics. It is robust and has scaled nicely. It may be possible to adapt it for an enterprise solution, but so far I've seen the most success with small department processes and one-off projects.

Integrations and Governance

Systems Integrated With

Oracle
Cart66

One of our main challenges with integration was that we were not capable of doing the integration ourselves. So, we had to rely on consultants who were hard to identify. It was challenging to build capacity in this area with so many other things going on day-to-day. Some minor integrations were successful but neither of the ones listed above were.
