Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase
QuickBase is used by several departments. The most prevalent use is for aggregation of data from IT systems, and dispersion to those without access to the primary database.
Pros
- Ability to gather large pools of data, 700K to 1M+ rows within an app.
- Access to users, without regard to their status in the network, their device, or platform.
- Relatively easy to learn basic app creation.
Cons
- Graphing is the Achilles heel of QuickBase. Specifically not being in control of the details. For instance, where the legend is situated and what elements it displays. Also, the color of lines and bars change for no apparent reason. These "insignificant" aspects loom large when producing reports for C-staff.
- The lack of global filtering on home-pages is frustrating, as is the limited number of reports allowed per page.
QuickBase is the best value when you factor cost, learning curve, quality of output, and scalability.
