Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's currently being used or being developed for use by our specialty services - rigging is online now. Power distribution has been created and will come online this quarter, photography is online, and CSN is next.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easily customizable
Formulas are similar to Excel
Good support team

Cons

If you don't know the programming language, it's sometimes hard to find answers.
The text to currency or text to date thing annoys me.
It'd be cool to rand a little more - fonts, images, logos, that kind of thing

Alternatives Considered

TMA, Oracle, Ultipro, SAP and other custom built CRMs. I like quickbase best because it's customizable. It's easily customizable rather than having extra fields or trying to fit your data into someone else's system.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for teams that are well organized - my division had been running well off multiple Excel sheets, so it was an easy implementation. It's proven slightly annoying for the membership situation - we have many many more people we'd like to give a "limited" access for files and whatnot, but we wish there was a lower membership rate we could use for them.
