Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use QuickBase for everything. Every single one of our departments use QuickBase. QuickBase apps have been developed specific to each department and I've even developed my own app for our marketing department. I developed my app to catalog articles and information I find on the web on a particular topic and it works perfectly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Custom report building
App creation is easy
Automatically generating charts from table data

Cons

Better help online for writing custom formulas
More chart types
Better customization of charts

Alternatives Considered

I didn't select Quickbase. When I came aboard, this is just what they were using so it's not like I have a choice to pick something else. Even if I did have a choice, I really wouldn't know what to pick. If I had to go out on my own now and pick something else, I wouldn't. QuickBase has been so great to work with I wouldn't want to work with anything else.

Likelihood to Recommend

I've been using QuickBase for almost a year and a half now and I really haven't found a scenario it's not suited for. With the ability to make your own apps, you can pretty much get it to do whatever you want. Maybe I'm just thinking too narrowly and I'm focused too much on our particular business, I don't know. But I really think it's pretty versatile for many different companies in varying industries. I sure wish we had it at my last company!
