Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The biggest thing it really does is help minimize the number of different systems that we're using. So instead of having 10, 15, 20 different systems, you're able to do everything in one single platform. And by doing so, it just minimizes. There's an old phrase of too many cooks in the kitchen, so it kind of takes all those extra cooks out and you can be sure everything's flowing right.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It takes all your existing systems and it actually connects them together versus having to purchase another system to then figure out how everything can get connected. This has been built up from the beginning to actually help accommodate that.

Cons

More templates that there are ways that they might code certain ways, certain manners to actually bring information into the system or highlight different data points, rich text images, things like that. If other users could use those as templates as a starting point, that'd be a game changer.

Return on Investment

All of the above. Simple as that.

Alternatives Considered

NetSuite ERP and Microsoft Project

They all ended up being different systems that are siloed and Quickbase brings everything together.

Likelihood to Recommend

Quickbase is good about being upfront about where it's not well suited. There are going to be certain complexities around use cases or maybe just people need more robust functionality and a better system might be suited for them because it's going to be more specific to a niche. Quickbase is going to come in when you have so many different systems and so much going on and you really just wanna simplify your process day-to-day in Quickbase and kind of take all those pieces, minimize whatever might be excess, and use it move forward.
