Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

It's used in 3 departments. The main use is for ticketing purposes.
  • Keeping track of open / in progress / completed requests
  • Archiving requests for tracking
  • Reporting (time to complete, number of requests by requester or by Assignee)
  • Rigidity of the design and rule set prevents us from using some of the features
  • User management is painful, no easy way to find what apps each user has access to
The initial setup was done in about a month of back and fourth and maintaining the app is a matter of a simple tweak here and there which results in a lot of saved time if we would have developed an app in house.
JIRA offers a simple ticketing / requests tools that cover part of our requirements. We decided to go with Quickbase for the customisation of it and the overall shareability of it. Also JIRA is more a one-sided application vs. Quickbase which offer more possibilities.
The app is maintained by IT so I wouldn't be able to tell if it's simple enough for a non-technical user to create / modify an app. On the other hand, the app is simple enough for tweaks to be done in less than an hour and apply to those changes seamlessly.
  • Building and deploying business applications faster
  • Improving collaboration across one or more teams
  • Solving a specific business challenge
Due to a new platform being launched, we needed to add a new field that would help us track requests for the new and old platform. We added that field, rule and dependency within an hour. After that, it was just a question of finish the final tweak to the reporting and the customising the app homepage.
Well Suited

Give access to multiple teams and groups to a specific application
Simple for less technical users
