Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase

Quickbase is used as an internal staffing application. We use it to manage internal and freelance staff, event assignments, event calendars, client contacts, and technical venue information. We are quickly adding additional uses throughout the company to help with overall project management from the RFP process to event completion.
  • Sorting data into very useful reports.
  • Customizing and adding fields.
  • Connecting data across multiple tables.
  • User friendliness is a big issue, there is a big learning curve needed in order to accomplish many of the customized goals.
  • Home page and Dashboard options are bulky and outdated. More options for customizing the user experience would be great.
  • Color and font options are mostly not an option.

Do you think Quickbase delivers good value for the price?

Did implementation of Quickbase go as expected?

No

Would you buy Quickbase again?

Yes

We have only built one application so far. The process to build and customize to fit our needs has been slow.
  • Improving collaboration across one or more teams
  • Solving a specific business challenge
We have achieved 90% of our goal to solve the business challenge of staffing our events.
As a non-technical builder of our Quickbase application. I required a lot of help and research in order to learn the processes needed to build out our application. I had to study HTML outside of Quickbase resources as well as use the provided help videos to figure out how different aspects of the system interact.
We are using Quickbase to achieve complect project management within our event staffing. Several additional aspects are in the works, such as formula queries, which will help us to further organize our projects.
Quickbase does allow you to search an replace words for quick updates across all applications. However, when updating one form, it does not give you the option to update across the application. Each individual form requires an update.
Quickbase is very useful for data sorting and viewing, would be good in sales and product development applications. However, in terms of lead generation and marketing funnels, it does not have the same functions as most Marketing online CRM options.
