Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase
It is used mostly to keep track of projects that are going on in the company. That way people have a quick way of seeing what is going on, what stage the project is in, etc. It is also being used as a database for product information. We can get quick details about a product with little effort.
Pros
- The search function is very quick. That is important to us so we can find information without having to wait.
- Creating filters, once trained, is very helpful for pulling reports.
- Being able to share with other team members at different security levels is helpful.
Cons
- It has somewhat of a steep learning curve.
- Occasionally I have to look 3 or 4 different places to remember where a specific function is. I eventually find it, but it would be nice to be more simplified.
- A better example section or help section would help people to find functions they are looking for more quickly.
- I'm still a bit confused on the terminology that Quickbase uses, but when I update some of the projects we have in Quickbase, it can be done easily, but I feel like there could be a reduction in steps that would help updating become more efficient. It's all about being able to update quickly and easily.
- Google Sheet and JIRA
Quickbase is much more powerful and it is much easier to find information organized quickly, but Google does have the benefit of being organized into all their other software and it is very easy to share and have others work on at the same time. I understand that they are not completely the same, but we used Google Sheets for a while before we ended up getting Quickbase.
JIRA is very powerful as well, but I feel that Quickbase is set up better and more user friendly.
