Quickbase Reviews & Product Details

Great way to keep track of leads, customers and more for a high performance sales group

It will reset the screen when you go back a page instead of keeping your filters

Being able to look back at the sales flow with exact dates and records

I really like the flexibility it provides.

I wish that there were more robust reporting options when exporting data. I would like a Gantt that allows the user to layer on more than one detail. I would like the ability to adjust font sizes for field labels.

Portfolio Management for all Performance Improvement work. Cross Hospital transparency, limiting duplicative work efforts and spreading successful projects.

Easy to keep track of client accounts and campaign details.

Small things about editing or searching can be unnecessarily difficult or require extra steps.

Organization of campaign details for clients as well as connection of internal databases and tableau. While it can be finicky sometimes , it is useful and creates ease of workflow by connecting everything for us.

Easy to learn how to personalize databases to fix organization-specific needs, as well as train others within the organization on how best to use these databases

Somewhat costly for what we are able to do, especially to upload files

We are able to systematically streamline processes that were scattered and not reliably kept-up with previously. Having everything in one place, accessible from anywhere with internet access provides an easier way for people within the organization to consistently maintain the databases.

We use this as a work order tool for the web and graphic design teams that I work with.

Some of the notification features don't always function properly.

The team I work with uses this as a work order system.

I like the user-friendly nature of the platform overall...especially from a light admin perspective. You can add and remove easily, create different templates, custom reports, etc and none of it takes a ton of skill to figure out how to utilize.

The overall look could use some updating. It can be difficult to read at times the way it is laid out.

A place to host a variety of information that can be accessed by multiple different vendors and by our client. It's great for creating custom reports that can easily be updated and pulled.

I like that you are able to import information, like Excel sheets which is useful. Also the ability to customize reports and charts, and be able to save them for quick access.

I dislike quickbase slowness, it can be very slow and clonky. It's also not very use friendly, I think it can be designed a little better, having a simplistic interface.

Data, storage, inventory etc

Ease of use and mobility means that my team can be on the road and manage their CRM without having to return to a computer/desk every day. We can keep up with our sales force even while travelling and have up to the minute interactions.

The pricing should allow for a package deal with the other Intuit products that I use.

Our sales force can no document sales interactions and make notes about clients and accounts without having access to their laptop/desktop.

The fact that it is relatively easy to navigate for non-technical users. In addition, it allows new users to slowly begin to understand the nature of relational tables, and generally, methods for storing data. In addition, the customer support is fairly good. Every time I reach out to them, even if the answer is disappointing, they get back to me relatively quickly.

The arbitrary limits in place. For example, the limit of 3 report formulas, summary formulas, 1000 records on a graph. There seem to always be new limits that are in place that I have to build custom solutions for (example: PDF viewer). Also, specifically in graphing there tend to be strange limits: trend lines, point shapes, style of charts.

It's solving the problem of relating parent data to children data, and making those connections easy to understand, and fairly straightforward to visualize. I //think// Quickbase is headed in the right place, but sometimes it feels more clunky and archaic (ex. Jinja) than other low-code platforms.

Quickbase is useful to replace many of our Google Sheets. Many projects are started in a simple because of the low entry cost, but as scaling is needed, sheets can not keep up. QB provides a database repository that is great for strong information that is easily retrievable.

QB is not perfect, I would say the design is simplistic leading to a basic-looking interface. It doesn't have any character or unique design aspects that make it special, it solely exists to be functional and straightforward.

QB is helping Carvana with its logistic network by providing a platform to store route execution information.

I like it's funtionality and its ability to have a centralized location for all project information. I am able to search for information easily and find what I am looking for.

It can be a bit overwhelming. There can be a lot going on and it can confuse someone who has never used it before.

Storage of a lot of information in one centralized location for anyone in the company to access

I started using Quickbase recently for my work, i love no code to low code usage in Quickbase. But one thing I miss the most in Quickbase is the column customization option. I worked with Looker in my previous company and it provided an option to use SQL if we wanted to add a custom column and I wish with Quickbase being a most versatile tool, if they could add an option of using SQL as part of their formula query, it would increase the ability to create and use custom columns.

Limitations in creating custom columns and trying to find work around.

Creating reports to help mantaining structure to the data we receive during recieving projects and while working on projects.

Its easy to learn, use, and deploy apps for areas that don't have a formal process. We use it to prototype apps to be built in our enterprise systems.

If not monitored and governed your organization can quickly be inundated with data silos that aren't connected which may hinder any enterprise data strategies.

helping us prototype apps to be built into more robust enterprise systems.

It is easy enough to configure a simple database and works well if using completely online.

The mobile app lacks true offline capability, it is expensive.

Allows our employees to submit receipts and reimbursements in one place. Less excuses for paperwork not being done.

Ease of use. It keeps my tasks in order and helps me stay organized.

I don't really have any problem with it.

My work tasks would probably get disorganized if not for Quickbase.

Flexible and customizable. With some work and development, you can make Quickbase handle complex workflows and track difficult projects. You can set the fields you want and make Quickbase do what you need it to do.

Not very intuitive to use. Probably good for some applications like software development but not very easy to use for creative project management. It's also hard to make individual templates, it's sort of one size fits all and that doesn't always work for our workflows.

We used Quickbase to track our marketing work and field requests from internal shareholders. It worked better than just accepting requests via email but not much better. It wasn't always easy to customize the request form.

While it is good at what it does, it can be pretty difficult to navigate at times

I wish it were a little more user friendly in the sense that it's very easy to get lost while using it

It does help manage tasks well

I like best that there are gauge graphics to help visualize how your metrics are going

Not user friendly whatsoever, unless you know coding.

Keeping individualized track of metrics and being able to look at historic data

For the projects app, I like the ease of creating reports. You can customize them to do pretty much anything you need them to do.

Fixing mistakes is a bit of a pain since every entry is time stamped and you are not able to edit. I understand the need for that but it would be nice if that was an optional feature.

It is a great, easy way to keep accounts organized. I would say I'd like to be able to customize it a bit more but it could also be that we just haven't taken the time to figure out how to do that. The reporting is my favorite feature. For my job, it is imperative and the level that you can customize the reports to fit exactly what you need is something I haven't been able to find in other platforms.

The queue allows you to easily see project statuses.

There could be more fields that would allow the program to be more comprehensive. Also, a history section of what has been done within a project would be helpful.

We have projects that go through several rounds of development and testing and this allows those to not stray outside of that process.
