Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The product, in its entirety, helps us to assess the cost and viability of a construction project, perform approvals for the financial support of that project, and then track the project through to its completion and treating dialysis patients.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Yes, it does a lot. Well back in the day before we started using QuickBase, we used the Lotus Notes. It was very stiff and starchy. It was inflexible. It was just a pure database difficult to change. We didn't have a workflow in it for approvals. And so using QuickBase provides us the ability more so these days to be agile in meeting the company's needs and its approval processes for the construction purposes.

Cons

That's difficult really to say because over the last three years, maybe more the software development, the actual development of QuickBase itself is gone on phenomenally fast. So like at the moment, now every month they're coming out with new developments and so they're meeting all our needs essentially. There's, I mean, there's always something that can be improved upon, but I mean, as soon as we think of something to talk about, it's already on the books to be resolved.

Return on Investment

The negative in some respects is as good as it is with all the current developments. It leaves us behind in the learning of how to use them. So we are kind of struggling to catch up with the new developments. That's not a bad thing. Exactly. I mean all the time they bring out new stuff to help us do what we need to do. That's brilliant. But that's the kind of flip side is that you know, we still gotta learn those to put them into place. But it's allowing us to make better decisions with respect to the construction, you know, finding out which projects are actually worthwhile doing and which ones are not, and then controlling those projects. So if we have a limitation on finances for example, we can use the application to determine which ones we should move ahead with and which ones we should leave off the current deployment.
