Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
Quickbase was used as a client and prospect management database. We housed all of our CMS, DNS, hosting, and other solution usernames and passwords for 200+ clients. We loosely used some tables for project tracking to know at a glance where all new projects were in the pipeline. In a similar fashion, we used a set of tables to keep track of open proposals and the last time a prospect was contacted. We also tracked the reason(s) a customer decided to leave us. All tables were linked to a client's "Company" record so we could always easily grab any data related to a specific customer whether they were still a customer or not.
Pros
- Easily creating relational database tables
- Simple and intuitive way to generate reports
- Granular permission control on a per user basis
Cons
- Better or more intuitive project management tools
- User interface feels a bit unrefined
- It's easy to generate reports but once you have them it's nearly impossible to change the formatting.

We switched to Airtable and there are a few drawbacks that I immediately noticed with the new application. Airtable offers far less robust report-building options. Quickbase feels like the table-building aspect of Airtable but on steroids. Airtable is much faster to edit table data with the default view, but Quickbase offers far better reporting views.
