Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase

We use Quickbase for internal projects tracking, as well as support custom applications for clients with a variety of uses. Our main internal project management application is accessed by all employees in our division. It is a tracked for ongoing projects, requests, billing and for forecasting for staffing as well as financial.

Pros

  • User support
  • Continuous development
  • Allows for rapid development
  • Good help documentation

Cons

  • retrieving data from connected tables can be difficult
  • formula summary fields that - fields referencing a non-related table are derived fields that take so much processing 'space' they ground my critical reports to a halt
  • table-to-table updates with pipelines are nowhere near as accessible for the citizen developer as were automations
  • Saves time
  • Central source of truth
  • positive impact on ROI
If you don't know any programming languages, it's no problem to get started with Quick Base. On-line guides and prompts, plenty of examples and help are always available. There are template sample databases available for modification, and these provide a great opportunity to understand the inner workings of QuickBase. We are able use our databases as a team, and don't worry about overwriting another person's work

Did Quickbase live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Quickbase go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Quickbase again?

Yes

Easy to use for end users doing routine data entry, adequate reporting in a tracking type of application. Exports could be more flexible. When an application needs particular enhancements, QSPs are available - though that is not the most cost-effective solution for everyone. Forms design is simple, and with upcoming redesign will be even more so.
