Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase

When we're trying to get info from other departments in order to do our daily work, we tend to use email. But it seems we're constantly replying to those emails asking for more detail needed to complete tasks. This is where we need to pause and ask if there's a better way. The answer is Yes there is. It's Quickbase! With how easy it is to create a tool (with no coding experience) that captures everything you need onto one form with built in rules that prevent users from being able to save and close a form without the info you need, there's no excuse to NOT turn to Quickbase. And for those who keep every email they've ever sent or received, they're in luck. Quickbase can email you with notices of what was put in and actions others took.
  • Reports
  • Email Notices
  • Form rules with minimal coding experience needed
  • Categorizing types of work
  • I'd like to see a link on email notices that take you directly into said notice. On an app that only has 1 or 2 email notices firing, there's no issue. However, we have some tools that are so complex that they have about 20 email notices firing at any given time based on the action users take. In this case, if we have to go in to modify a notice, we have to guess or scroll down the long list of notices to see which one we need to customize. It would be great if Quickbase had the URL of said notice somewhere at the footer of that notice so when Administrators click on it, it takes them into the exact notice they need to update.
  • When filling out or reviewing a lengthy form, I'd like to see the Save & close button, as well as a Save & next option at the bottom of the form rather than having to scroll back up to the top of those forms just to click on those choices.
  • Quickbase has saved us so much time by reducing the clicks you need to get from one place to another. It takes the average colleague 5 or 6 clicks to get to another tool they need to do their job whereas it takes me 1 or 2 clicks to get to that same tool by using a personal Quickbase dashboard that has all the tools I need all on one page. This is a huge timesaver, especially when desk sharing where you have to get quickly to the info you want to share.
  • Quickbase has helped us streamline workflows and close gaps by having to ask for info only 1 time. Since users can't save a form until they've provided all the info you need on your end to complete a task, it saves a tremendous amount of time for everyone. No more replying to emails 2 or 3 times until you get the info you need.
Since Quickbase is readily available across departments, it has made the process so much easier for others to view and/or edit records. With the tool updated real time, there's no need to share spreadsheets through email anymore. Everyone sees the same info real time.
Because the forms are so easy to update, whenever project needs change or we get updated criteria, Administrators can go in to update the form to make sure we're capturing the needs.
We have built a project management tool that allows us to easily manage complex projects. Our projects require that we get signoff from business owners before we can update a web page, that we go to other audiences to ask how our update may affect their audience, that we attach any email documentation we may get related to a project, that we generate email confirmations to those involved in a project and that we route projects from an intake department over to a writing department. We're able to accomplish this easily through our project management tool.
Some will tell me they don't use Quickbase because they already have Excel. I always take that opportunity to explain how they're missing out by not converting that Excel sheet (which takes less than 1 minute to convert) into a Quickbase tool. The functionality that Quickbase has over Excel is amazing.
