Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have developed multiple custom applications to manage a wide array of business processes. It has been especially valuable to us in managing operational risks through our home grown validation of control application. It is used by over 500+ employees across multiple lines of business inside one of three corporate groups.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Quickbase allows us to create and customize forms and fields that can be tailored exactly to our business vernacular and needs.
Ad hoc reporting allows us to slice and dice all of our information in endless ways that help to serve a multitude of audiences.
By building applications in Quickbase, the platform enables us to model our business that helps us identify and implement process improvements.

Cons

More granular role-based access reporting would be useful.
Easier to use smart forms that incorporate conditional drop down boxes (if this... then that choices)

Alternatives Considered

MS SharePoint

MS SharePoint isn't as intuitive as Quickbase however it is similarly powerful and flexible. It's reporting capabilities are not as robust as Quickbase but for certain applications, it is equally suitable.

Likelihood to Recommend

Quickbase's largest challenge is to overcome the inherent risk of our company data being stored on a third party's data center. Quickbase would be smart to continue to push and market on the steps it takes to secure our data.

Integrations and Governance

Systems Integrated With

Sharepoint

Simple integration utilizing the link (URL) feature in QB to point to SharePoint.
