Quickbase Reviews: 4.5/5 — Highly Rated

easily customizable and develop apps for my team

It's great, however, i wish more storage for documents was included with base account

Easily track projects and order status & organizes document retention

Quickbase enables fast-paced development of a wide variety of applications supporting operations across our business. With Quickbase we can build applications that meet our users evolving needs.

As the service becomes more sophisticated, I worry that the average end user will be increasingly unable to build and maintain apps without professional assistance.

We have Quickbase apps supporting a wide variety of business processes - everything from managing customer feedback, image processing workflows, and accounts payable approvals.

Ease of being able to build a simple, shareable database. And when more complexity is needed, with a small amount of time, almost anything can be accomplished.

No dislikes at this point. Very happy with what we have accomplished in using it.

Workflow managment is the primary. We also link completed work into our QuickBooks for ease of invoicing customers.

Quickbase is very easy to use, and I love its user-friendliness. In my company, we have users that need to perform various roles and do different tasks in Quickbase, and since switching to Quickbase, they can complete their jobs much more efficiently. I love that it is highly customizable, and allows someone to build out the app even without any coding or database backgrounds.

In order to create more complicated apps, automations, or forms, I typically need to rely on a third party company to help us build out the logic. As I do not have a coding background, sometimes I have difficulty doing those more complicated builds on my own. However, Quickbase does have an extensive library of information online, as well as a community where I can ask questions, which I do find extremely useful.

Quickbase solves the problem of having to keep track of different pieces of information and allows us to integrate it all into one place easily. Rather than tracking our customer database in one spot, our product forecasts elsewhere, and our point-of-sale information in a third, Quickbase can link all that data into one area.

Quickbase is a great program! I am self-taught and with all of the resources available from the company, and the discussion forum, I've been able to do accomplish some pretty advanced processes within a very short period of time. There are so many things it can do that I've barely even touched! The integration with Pipelines for automated emails is helping our organization so much! I love the option for role specification and customization for different workgroups who all need various pieces of information from each app. Everyone in our organization is able to use it and just needs to be added, so we've been able to implement the apps across our organizaiton so seamlessly. Quickbase has honestly made a huge difference in our workflow for the best!

The only downside I can think of is having a very specific coding format that is a little more complicated to learn. But once I understand what each piece means, it gets easier.

We previously had empoyee separations sent via email. When the employee turned in their company items, another email would go out. Each workgroup tracked these separations individually and often people would fall through the cracks and be sitting for a year or more without having their final paycheck because their company ites were not returned. Having a Quickbase app is allowing the leadership group pay closer attention to the employees that have separated and not returned items, as well as my team being able to add information regarding company mobile phones and tablets. Automated emails provide insight for everyone when there are new employee records added. We started using this in our department and have added several departments to the list with their own dashboard for information tailored specifically to what they need. It's just changed everything.

Utilizing Quickbase has enabled my team to work more cohesively by having centralized owr different workflows, leading us away from E-Mail usage, Quickness in deployment, Simple training, and integrations with much more expensive and enterprise level packages. I rarely use the Customer Support however, when i do they are very quick and helpful. Even after my hours.

The design is a little basic however, I say it's like me. It isn't that pretty however, it gets the job done easily. We use it 24 / 7.

Ticket submissions, Vendor submissions, Software renewal automations, onboarding new contractors, advertising open positions, Order entry.

You are able to create applications from scratch so what your workflow is, not having to put your workflow into a predetermined workflow or template. Pipelines has been amazing at automating processes throughout our organization. Quickbase is always advancing their technology through new processes, functionalities, and designs.

Some of the new stuff gets buggy, but they are amazing at fixing bugs in a very timely manner.

What isn't Quickbase solving in my organization. We have been able to use this to bridge gaps in process workflows, create new workflows, automate a lot of mundane processes, and created efficiencies in so many areas.

Very easy to customize and build with even a small amount of coding knowledge. It can be done without coding knowledge but you would need QB rapid development team for formulas and pipelines if you don't have it.

Logging off data/edits is unneccessarily complex. You have to build a custom rule and log it to a field for each individual field. The audit log says things were changed, but even if the field in question is tracked it is incredibly difficult to find what was changed and by whom when you need it. The table structure is a little weird to get used to initially. Many to many table relationships seem unneccessarily complex to roll out.

Project visibility, custom permissions and on demand changes are much easier than previous platforms

The ability to construct powerful data management without assistance from outside soecialists

I feel like if I had just a bit more coding knowledge I could unlock vast potentials, but I just don't have anyway to get there

Managing client files, internal records of tasks among department members, production of purchase orders that are properly researched and verified

I've been using Quickbase for nearly twenty years to help me run my businesses. It is flexible, functional, and easy to use. Highly recommended.

The original Quickbase user interface was outstanding. Over the years, new UX teams have made the UI gradually more cumbersome, but still usable.

I use it for content management, customer resource management, order history tracking, and numerous other purposes. It's my default "go to " DBMS app.

Having everything into one single place, replacing excel trackers with an integrated solution

The fact that does not recognise complex excel formulas and everything must be decomposed into simple formulas

systems integration

Flexibility - creativity - Easy to use - no limitation of data

it cannot be linked automatically with another tool. uploading data should be manually

Reporting and tracking availablility and capacity

For me, Quickbase has proven to be a robust replacement for Excel sheets. The ability to manage and organize data in a centralized platform has significantly improved my team's workflow. I have personally learned Quickbase by myself and created several applications that are currently used by the memebers of my team on a daily basis. Since the transition from legacy forms, I especially like its user-friendly and highly customizable new forms as they are a lot more appealing. I also loke the fact that Quickbase excels in providing a quick deployment process. Setting up databases and applications is straightforward whitout any headacke. I have successfuly integrated my quickbase apps with other quickbase apps through relationships. I haven't contacted customer support as I never had to, but there are plenty of resources online on the forms and the QB acadamy provides pretty much all the required information.

While Quickbase offers impressive customization options for forms, I've found the platform to have limitations when it comes to formatting. There are times when I wish there were more advanced formatting features, especially for reports and outputs.

Time saving - Quickbase is considered a one stop shop for our team. We've managed to centralize multiple repositories and we also have an overview from other apps, whitout having to switch from one app to another.

It's easy to build with no code and we can connect it easily to other tools to build reports and download data.

You must create your own governance plan; implementation needs thought. Also, they rolled out Pipelines much too early with little support.

Quickbase manages all of our projects in our department. We're able to use Quickbase to easily share data across departments as well.

Quickbase has helped us transform many business processes that were using multiple tools. With Quickbase we are able to collaborate, build workflows and then develop the reports and dashboards to view those results all in one platform.

The form builder component is overdue for a new UI. This was previewed at Empower 2022 but has not been released. The mobile usage of Quickbase needs to be more on par with the desktop experience. There needs to be more control over how items are displayed on mobile.

Quickbase allows us to take manual, swivel chair processes and streamline those into one tool. Our business unit citizens are empowered to build solutions without having developer-level skills. We are able to build solutions faster and more cost-effectively.

It's very easy to set up different applications and connect data between them. Customer support is really good.

It can sometimes be slow to load with too much data with increasing usage. New features take time to roll out.

We can store data for different purposes and handle purchasing of products.

You can build Apps fast and they are natively integrated.

Canot download the whole field descriptions from all tables from one shot.

More control on data, quick views and rapid integrations.

The way that QB holds detail and allows me to organize all my information in my own way makes it very helpful.

That any edit made to one home tab is shown for each users rather than being able to personalize setup for each user.

The main problem QB is solving is the allowing me to organize my projects and details helpfully.

The flexibility in developping any application needed. Very easy to code, no real experience required

Sometimes automations or pipelines fail under higher volume and they need to be restarted

We are using the tool to allocate tasks for operations users, monitor internal productivity, store process documentation, enable workflows and manager HR teams

QB is the best to kill Excel, especially the shared ones where multiple people have access and can ruin the data by having role segration. Enables a lot of automations and ease centralizations wit lots of dashboards and analytics. It is very user friednly from user interface perspective and require little to no training to the users. It is like having your work smart phone with all apps that you need to do your job better on a daily basis. It can be easily integrated with other systems!

It requires some knowledge of coding for complex features. It is a bit expensive.

having multiple users with role segragation doing same thing in the same time without interfering with each other and have data centralized intantly.

I like the ease of functionality, very straightforward but still easy to cater toward your needs.

Some of the little detailed functions get swept over and can be difficult to go back and figure out what exactly was changed in the app.

Great to be able to work within a team to tackle jobs that need to get done all together. Love that we can communicate where we are within a project to each other in QuickBase.

Quickbase is very user-friendly and makes accessing multiple reports super easy and quick! I really like how customizable it is for our company's specific needs. Our team uses it everyday which allows us to easily track all the projects we're working on.

I'm not sure I can think of any downsides for Quickbase.

Quickbase provides a way for all of our staff to stay connected and in the loop on every project. The email notifications from Quickbase are super helpful and have created a way for staff to get project updates while cutting down on additional communication outside of the platform which has been a big time-saver!

Overall experience, GUI, User-friendly interface.

Nothing to mention. All are well monitored from the Quickbase team.

The ease of use for all level of users.

Very user friendly and keeps our teams organized.

Everything works perfectly! No problems at all!

Organizing and maintaning all data.

Quickbase has revolutionized our workflow management and collaboration processes. The platform's flexibility is its standout feature, allowing us to design and customize applications tailored to our specific needs. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface, combined with a robust set of pre-built templates, significantly accelerated our application development. The real-time collaboration features and robust reporting tools have fostered transparency and boosted team productivity. Quickbase's scalability is impressive, seamlessly accommodating our growing business requirements without sacrificing performance. The responsive customer support has also been a valuable resource, ensuring we maximize the platform's potential.

While Quickbase offers a plethora of features, the learning curve for more advanced functionalities can be steep for new users. Enhanced training resources or tutorials could mitigate this challenge. Additionally, the pricing structure, while reflective of the platform's capabilities, might be a deterrent for smaller businesses. Some integration options could also be expanded to cover a broader range of third-party tools. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall benefits and efficiencies gained from using Quickbase far outweigh these considerations.

Quickbase has been instrumental in solving several critical challenges within our organization. One of the primary benefits is the elimination of manual, time-consuming tasks through workflow automation. This has not only saved us a significant amount of time but has also reduced the risk of errors associated with manual data entry.

There are many things that I love about Quickbase but if I have to choose one, it is being fast. You live up to your name QUICK. Many people do not understand how fast it is. We work with thousands of records and in some table we have more than 1000 fields, and yet when you search it or create a custom report, everything is almost instantenous. You gotta love it.

Blocking Javascripts. We still can use Javascripts for some imports to multiple tables at the same time, and I know through Pipelines similar can be done, but it is not the same. But that is all. Everything else is amazing about Quickbase.

I wouldn't say problems. But Quickbase enables me to create anything that we need, from Mobile usage, to complex Billings etc.

How customizable everything is and can create code pages, queries, forms, fields, and pipelines to streamline corporate automation. Pipelines are absolutely stellar and communicate efficiently with other software such as Docusign and Box to name a few.

The only thing I can even think of is exact forms. It would be nice for that functionality to be updated via pipelines or other form buttons to easily generate templates. However, with code pages as long as the developer knows html/JS it is doable.

Our customers span all energy utilities across the United States and this platform not only helps in terms of forecasting but auditing, creating web portals and easy customer pipelines. QuickBase has to serve both industrial customers with 5-10 year projects as well as instant rebates and we are able to do both.

You can build almost anything natively with Quickbase from project management to inventory management to customer management. Quickbase allows our company to work in the unique way that it does as opposed to making our business model fit in an out-of-box software. Our company uses multiple applications every day. We can create solutions and roll them out within a day.

Quickbase could do better with having training material and information available when new developments are launched.

Quickbase helps us to share data in real-time, avoiding conflicting spreadsheets of information. It also allows our field teams to manage their work without having to be connected to our network or any other. The information that anyone wants is within the palm of their hand most of the time.

Useable API. Easy to get started and create apps for our work. There is lots of ability to create custom action and fields. The API documentation is pretty helpful.

The community is a bit inactive. Which it was more rich and collobartive and open.

It is helping keep track of information about our members and out 1:1 interactions with them

I like organizing my workload in a Kanban and using/storing data from all of my projects.

The Kanban has limited features on the home page.

I work on numerous projects per day with different deadlines and tons of info and organizing all of these projects with charts and creating a database is extremeley helpful in keeping me organized.
