Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
We use Quickbase to simplify many of our manual processes. Everything from inventory to our operational excellence program is built in Quickbase, and there are no limits. There has never been a time when I wanted to build something but couldn't do it. Projects that we formerly had to work with IT or Digital services on can now be created and maintained locally.
- Weekly inventory approvals and reporting.
- Monthly performance assessment program.
- A quality audit application.
- Skills development application.
- Pipelines could be made a little easier for new developers, but they aren't difficult once you get the hang of it.
- Significant time savings
- Improvement to compliance requirements
- Morale improvement from reduction of manual and tedious processes
Quickbase allows us to seamlessly share information and provide employees only with the information they need by setting up user roles. This helps with collaboration because we were able to reduce the amount of digging around through emails and spreadsheets to get to the information that's needed to perform a task.
Quickbase changes the Software Development Cycle process significantly. Prior to Quickbase avoiding Scope Creep was a goal for all forms of software development. Now that we're utilizing a Low Code / No Code platform, Scope Creep is actually a welcome thing because it takes so much less time to develop a usable product for the end user. We are able to iterate over and over again live which helps us get to the best end result when developing an application. This is extremely helpful in the live environment because it makes it easier to test solutions using a web based tool rather than sending an excel file back and forth via email or even using a live SharePoint file.
Our projects are often complex because there are several stakeholders that are usually involved and need to be able to provide their inputs. Quickbase helps us to manage these complex projects by providing everyone with the visibility they need throughout the development cycle. We have certainly achieved this benefit by using Quickbase, but we are in the middle of our journey, so there is still quite a bit more that we can improve upon.

The level of flexibility, the number of possible integrations, and the overall user friendliness make Quickbase a formidable solution for any organization looking to improve their current ways of working by digitizing their processes and automating workflows.

So far, Quickbase has met my every need as a builder. There are so many options, and the user interface and user experience couldn't be better. Everything works the way you would expect it to, ad it just makes sense. With Quickbase, I hoped to achieve process improvement and automation for many of our manual, tedious, and time-consuming tasks.
100% yes! Quickbase is the most agile and user-friendly product I have ever had the pleasure of using. It is a truly remarkable system that no organization should go without. New users can be onboarded and build simple applications in a very short time. Maintenance of applications is also extremely simple, even when ownership needs to be transferred. Our organization has certainly achieved the expected benefits from Quickbase, and we are very pleased.
Quickbase is as easy as can be for non-technical citizen developers like me. The help guides are super easy to understand, and Quickbase University is an incredible product as well. If you understand the logic of how to use Excel, you are already about 75% there when it comes to building applications in Quickbase.
I took a Quickbase application that was designed by our Digital Services team and brought it to the next level once I started to understand the basics of how the platform worked. I added several tables, built-in relationships, and simplified processes that I hadn't explained well enough during the initial building process.

Quickbase's ability to integrate with other 3rd party systems through the use of Pipelines is absolutely incredible. This was certainly a big selling point when we were deciding to use Quickbase. Since we have started Quickbase has continued to delight us by continuously adding more and more features including pipeline integrations.
I would not change anything, we made an excellent decision to move forward with Quickbase.
