Amazing capabilities and endless potential!
What do you like best about the product?
My company has been using QuickBase for years now to grow and expand our multiple businesses. It is perfect for our flexible and fast paced business model. We can build new apps and get new projects up and running very quickly. It's the best solution out there for us and we plan on staying and growing with QuickBase for the foreseeable future.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform could use additional native integration features. However, they have been getting better and adding more options for us, so I'm very optimistic for what the future will bring. The platform is good at syncing data in, but not capable of pushing data out through API. Notifications are a great workaround however. You can setup automatic emails to deploy to certain people or applications. We use this to trigger an IT ticket via email notification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use QuickBase across multiple departments; sales, marketing, executive, accounting, and client services. Workflow management and getting our employees out of spreadsheets are the biggest "wins" for us. The reporting capabilities are also amazing. We can collect our data points and create year-over-year reporting. Our executives love this solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to be able to control your own data and build flexible applications, QuickBase is the perfect solution. They have a great online community and educational resources which will help anyone become a master. Getting the right licensing plan is key to making this solution worth the cost.
Quickbase Review
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and how it divides the different tasks by colors so you can see where the project status is in the testing levels. I.E. Pre-QA testing up to live testing, complete, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user can't edit or delete an existing task on a project once it has been made. The admin for our Quickbase account seems to be the only person who can edit/delete tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to keep projects organized and shows the level of testing they have completed and what is next for each project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great software for project ticketing. It provides an easy to use interface that allows a quick visual of the number of projects that are being tested and what their status is (preQA testing, on hold, QA testing, live testing, etc). On each active project ticket, you can open it up and view the dates and times of all entries/changes for that ticket and who is assigned to each task so it helps the users to see who all is included in each project.
Works Well To Keep Projects On Track
What do you like best about the product?
QuickBase is fairly simple to use once you understand how it is set up. It makes it really easy to see the progress of a project and you know exactly where a project is at down the line of programming, design, testing and pushing changes live. It is also simple to see who is working on what and when so when there are questions, they can be easily addressed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't the most user friendly to figure out how to work it. You really need a tutorial to understand everything that it does. That being said, it does it well. It also drives me nuts that a group members name is shown first name first in some areas, but last name first in others. Some consistency in that would help with my OCD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to manage dozens of projects at a time. We are able to pick up projects as they become available and complete them in groups keeping things in order and sticking with given due dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is definitely good at keeping an organized and detailed running tally of all projects in the works.
Good for broad scope managing.
What do you like best about the product?
The queue allows you to easily see project statuses.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have projects that go through several rounds of development and testing and this allows those to not stray outside of that process.
Easy to learn the basics, and there's always more to learn if you want
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Quickbase is always evolving and adding new and improved features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was better documentation for some features. The trainings are great, but I wish there was an easier way to refer back to something I know I learned in one of the many training videos but need a refresher on -- and I forget which training video it was.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Quickbase to pull together information in one place for our employees. We also use it to manage all of our trainings, including assessments, for our employees. We are starting to build some apps that are open to everyone on the internet for feedback purposes, as well as some resource directories. We use Quickbase for many other purposes, but these are a few of the main ones.
Highly Recommended Platform for Data Collection
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Quick Base is fully customizable for any business application that I need it for. I was introduced to the program but a colleague in a different department to use to replace our database of Alumni in Microsoft Access. Once I saw everything it could after attending Empower 2018, I was hooked and began brainstorming about other business projects that it can help with. I wear many hats in my department and I have been able to streamline my many different responsibilities and make my job a lot less stressful and less paperwork. I was that I had heard about Quick Base sooner.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very useful for the average user but to really get into the full power of QuickBase, you really need to practice and train a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick Base streamlines so much. I have solved reporting for Research poster requests, Image Releases for photography and videography, recruitment information requests and I am still working on many others.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's so simple yet so powerful. It is definitely worth it.
Great way to flesh out processes, but be prepared to run.
What do you like best about the product?
We have had a lot of success building our operations platform, but over time we outgrew the systems. Allowed us to be a problem. In other words, it got us by at a low cost until our growth became a problem. If our operations never expanded it would have worked forever.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, it forces us into an overly rigid format. Ultimately, they threatened a 2 million dollar price increase on us that made us scramble. I will be first to admit that we are probably not the typical customer, but as a long standing customer we were treated extremely poorly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamline processes. We manage customer relations, performance measurement, requests for quotes, strategic meeting plans, employee of the month recommendations, surveys and more through quickbase.
"The World Runs on Quick Base"
What do you like best about the product?
We now have the ability to answer questions that, before Quick Base, we didn't even know how to ask. The platform is so flexible and powerful that it's applicable to virtually any business practice or workflow. Our QB app is a scalable and transparent single source of truth for everything from high level marketing strategy to daily employee attendance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of work to do to improve the mobile experience, though to their credit it appears development there is ongoing. As a small company, we'd also benefit greatly from a more flexible licensing model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to spread Quick Base across our (small) organization, capturing additional processes and eliminating spreadsheets (and even in some cases HARD COPY work) as we go.
Quick Base Launched Our Department Into New Territory
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to customize users experience, along with its very accessible platform. Quick Base has allowed our department seamless collaboration with other departments in our company. They can now make requests of our department with personalized home pages and forms.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be some further customization with the forms - also, sometimes the placement of fields on same rows are a little off because other fields in the same section are larger.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increased efficiency has been a huge boon from using Quick Base. We've been able to automate several processes and are able to prove ROI from the easy-to-use reporting.
Data Collection/Processing
What do you like best about the product?
we are able to keep all records in one location for multiple staff access at real time!
What do you dislike about the product?
I love the company's conference (2017) cost for attending is very high
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined processing, faster turnaround times
