Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base
Quickbase is used by my organization to track candidates going through the pre-employment process. We need to make sure all background check and onboarding functions are complete. My team, who is dedicated to this process uses Quickbase all day, while 30% of the rest of the organization can access it to review their candidates' information.
Prior to this, we used Excel. Quickbase allows us to stay organized and compliant and allows for real-time updating and reviewing of notes.
- Low necessity for coding, so it's easy to build and keep things consistent.
- We typically don't have issues logging in. Because there is very little "down time" where we can't access the site, we're able to continue doing our work without interruption.
- Interactive reports. I love that I can create a report that I can either download to Excel or click into the individual orders.
- More automation, I'd love to set timed reminders/reports etc., to specific people.
- Better/easier customizability. I have a form that I've figured out how to change, but I need to have the same fields for each client.
- More charts/reports to see on the homepage, so we can see what's going on in the business.
It is faster and easier for us, because we're able to copy our app and create new ones that are similar. This allows us to easily create a new app, that is specific to a certain process. This helps a lot.
- Net Suite and Salesforce
Quickbase was selected because it is low code, and easily to navigate/work with.
- Building and deploying business applications faster
- 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
Yes, as stated before, we moved from an Excel tracker to Quickbase. We're able to get through "tracking" more candidates throughout the day than before. We're also able to report much better, and our internal clients have access to the reporting they need as well, which leads to our collaboration.
I don't have experience with building an app from the ground up, but I have worked with updating and editing our app, as well as copying and adjusting new apps. It is decently difficult for me, but after some time self teaching I was able to do the things I needed.
Whenever we get a new hire, we're able to update the app by adding them as a user and then adding then as an option in a field to allow them to do the work they're required to do.
