Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Elevate uses QuickBase as a platform to develop applications for our internal use. We have created our own HRMS system called ElevatedHR on QuickBase which is being used across Elevate from all its locations in the US, UK, India and Philippines. We also have our time tracking tool developed on QuickBase which helps us bill our clients.

QuickBase helps us develop applications really quickly so that we can address and mitigate our risks quickly.

Pros

  • Quick and easy development of applications.
  • Very secure and easy to assign access controls to any application for various roles in the organization.
  • Ease of creating customized reports which are really useful to make correct decisions across the organization.

Cons

  • Add an event driven capability which can then remove the dependency of manual intervention. E.g: accrual of leaves needs to be done manually as the system cannot automatically do that at a trigger at the start of the month.
  • Although creating reports is easy for someone who understands QuickBase, maybe add a functionality to create reports like Oracle ERP
  • More flexibility in making the UI more user-friendly.
Customizing Oracle ERP is a long and expensive proposition. Creating an HRMS on QuickBase was faster and efficient and more importantly adheres to our processed than having us change our processes to match the system.
QuickBase is really best suited for a small to mid-sized organization which does not want to invest a lot into an ERP. One can hire smart people and develop various applications on QuickBase to suit your needs. You don't need any specific skill set like .NET or Java to develop applications on QuickBase but [you] need people with strong logic skills.
