Efficient, Customizable with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I use Quickbase to manage projects, financial reporting, and our mobile teams, and it's a big part of our operations. Quickbase helps us be more efficient and quicker in our processes, saving us a lot of labor hours while reducing mistakes and giving us cleaner data. It's easy to build and user-friendly, making it successful because people actually want to use it, and that's key. Due to its customization capabilities, we tailor it to our needs. It runs smoothly and quickly, with faster querying and searching compared to most other programs. Additionally, the community Quickbase has fostered is amazing, providing us help directly from other developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the things that could help, like performance tools, require the Enterprise plan to use. This feels counterproductive because you want Quickbase to perform well before spending more money on it. Performance tools should be standard with every Quickbase account. They need to focus on improving their current features rather than expanding more. Focus on new grid style reports and fixing bugs so we can implement them. Settle in and make what they have work before implementing new things. And they can get rid of Fast Field; no one wants to pay for it, and it doesn't integrate well enough. Negotiations on cost and renewals are not great, as I feel very frustrated with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase makes our processes more efficient and quicker. We save labor hours, reduce mistakes, and have cleaner data. It helps with managing projects, financial reporting, and mobile tasks. It's user-friendly, allowing us to tailor it to our needs and ensuring widespread user adoption.
Customizable App Development with Stellar Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Quickbase allows for the development of a custom app that makes the user interface simple. Working with our Quickbase builder has been a great experience, and we meet weekly to build, update, and improve our application. Emily, our builder, has been fantastic to work with, making the setup process easy. We were able to get the app built and rolled out quickly within a few months.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some formatting and reporting items that are limitations to our use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Quickbase to manage workload and schedule for our precon department, making the user interface simple and enhancing collaboration with our builder.

Quickbase Makes Customization and Job Tracking Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to adapt the tools to better fit our needs. I appreciate the range of features Quickbase offers, especially the update emails when certain items move forward. I also value how it keeps jobs organized into clear, manageable steps. The initial setup was straightforward and easy as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only qualms are processes within our company that make certain things harder. For example, the person who has permission to make changes to our app isn't very responsive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase helps us organize jobs into clear steps and adapt tools to fit our needs better. It streamlines our express ordering system and provides valuable features like update emails on progress.
Flexible Data Modeling and a Powerful Rules Engine

The flexible data modeling and in-depth rules engine, which allow us to build exactly the workflows we need.

They could have a bigger variety of input components to make end-user views even more user friendly, and generally the UI feels a bit dated.

QuickBase is a core system in running our business across 5 locations, keeping track of projects, invoicing, revenues, etc.
VP Operations
What do you like best about the product?
I love how customizable Quickbase is, which lets it grow and adapt to our business needs. I also appreciate that it serves as a single source of truth for all our projects and a place to find all related documents. Additionally, we use various Quickbase Pipelines, and they all seem to work well together.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the UI could be slightly better. Some of the demo apps seem to have a better UI than what we have available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase provides a single source of truth for all our projects and a centralized place to find all related documents.
Quickbase allows very customizable solutions to common work issues.
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase allows a lot of flexibility for creating custom Apps for different Use-cases. We've created apps for Tool and Inventory tracking, Marketing, and Project Management to name a few. The fact that there is a Mobile app also helps get the tools into more hands. If you really dig into it, you can customize it to exactly what you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a little bit of a learning curve for the deeper development side of things. The positive of being a no-code creation is also a negative in that it's harder to implement programming deeper uses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Quickbase for a very wide variety of uses within our business. One of the main things is being able to convert archaic old inventory systems, and bring them to the modern age. What was once a single excel spreadsheet manually updated, is not a full application for inventory tracking. Our old way had a sometimes two week turnaround on an inventory check, and with the app it is believed to be down to one hour.
Quickbase has also helped improve how people here feel about the tools and technology they use. There was a lot of frustration with older apps that weren’t built well, but the new apps I’ve built in Quickbase have gotten people excited about what’s possible. It’s nice to see people actually happy to utilize technology to a fuller extent.

Flexible, Easy-to-Use Platform That Scales as You Grow
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is flexible and easy to use, even for someone like me who doesn’t have a coding background. I’ve been able to learn the system and build apps that meet our needs without needing deep technical expertise. The platform allows me to tweak and optimize based on what I’ve learned over time, which is helpful as our priorities shift. I also appreciate the training resources, like Quickbase University and the AI tools, which make it easier to build and improve apps. The ability to ask the system to create something and then refine it has been a big plus for me. It’s also great that Quickbase can scale with us as we grow and take on new use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features that do require more technical experience and sometimes the resolution time on requests is longer than I would have anticipated. But generally speaking, this is not the case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, we didn’t have a centralized system to manage all the events we produce globally across various divisions. Our organization is very segmented, and data was scattered across different teams and systems. Quickbase has helped us pull all of our events into one database, which has been critical for exporting data to other teams across the organization and for feeding into tools like Power BI and even our internal AI program. It’s streamlined processes that were previously manual and time-consuming.
We’ve also used Quickbase to create a work order system that replaces email-based processes, making it easier for people to submit requests and track progress. Another benefit is the ability to onboard new team members quickly and get them up to speed with the apps we’ve built. As we continue to grow and align as a global organization, Quickbase is becoming a key tool for tying together operations and improving efficiency.

Customizable and User-Friendly, but Account Management Turnover Creates Challenges
What do you like best about the product?
Fully customizable platform that can be configured based on business needs. User friendly and intuitive. Supported our growth as a small company through early years.
What do you dislike about the product?
We consistently faced challenges with account management. Turnover at Quickbase seems to be relatively high. We struggled to communicate with the team during time sensitive transition periods. Communication recently improved due to renewal review, but otherwise was always a challenge during our contract.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customizable platform to our business needs; we have a unique model in mobility space that existing software/technology in the space did not capture.
