Easy Carrier Details Access, But Performance Feels Slow
What do you like best about the product?
Easy access to our carrier base information, with all the details included.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product feels quite slow to use. The graphics could also use some updates and can definitely be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides easy access to our carrier information and makes managing the account straightforward.
Easy to Share, but Too Limiting and Frustrating to Navigate
What do you like best about the product?
It sorts data into an easy to understand format that I can share with non-technical users. It is easy to integrate with 3rd party applications using the API.
What do you dislike about the product?
Simplicity can be a little too limiting at times. Plus the menu navigation is a pain in the ass; it feels like all important settings are in a different spot and it gets difficult to tell where something is supposed to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows my company to have a single source of truth that maintains accuracy and legitimacy across users to keep our responses consistent across clients.
Quickbase Makes Automation and Custom App Building Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Quickbase lets me automate processes and avoid manual work. I’m someone who prefers efficiency, and Quickbase helps me get things done faster without having to deal with repetitive tasks. I was able to build an app from scratch using Quickbase University and the help docs, even though I had never used Quickbase before. It’s satisfying to figure things out and see them work. The platform is flexible, and I’ve been able to customize it to fit our needs, like creating dashboards and reports for supervisors and case managers. It’s also great for tracking and organizing data in a way that’s easy to reference later. I appreciate that Quickbase allows me to make things easier for others to use and access.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, I have heard from people using my application that they have a difficult time understanding the logic but I believe the majority of that frustration will be addressed with the new UI QB uploaded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, we were using Microsoft Planner, which isn’t a database and made pulling reports a two-day process. It was subjective and inefficient. Now, with Quickbase, I’ve built an app to track audits for compliance with state requirements for Medicaid. The app helps us pinpoint where issues are occurring in member files and track trends across audits. For example, I can see which areas are failing most often and use that data to guide training for case managers.
Quickbase Simplifies Complex Workflows with Flexible, Powerful Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase makes it easier to manage complex workflows without needing everything to be fully automated. I like that it allows me to create reports and track assignments in a way that’s already simpler than what we had in place before. For example, when we were working on the PTO backup system, Quickbase let us set up relationships and formulas that dynamically adjust based on real-time data, like who’s out on PTO and who their backup is. It’s not perfect, but it’s flexible enough that I can create workarounds, like manual overrides, when needed. I also appreciate how the app leverages relationships and formulas in a clean, straightforward way. It’s not overly complicated, but it’s powerful enough to handle what we need.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Jinja-specific language means having to learn yet another IT language. I wish you could incorporate SAS, SQL, or Python directly in the code sections instead.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, managing assignments and backups was a mess. We had no way to dynamically account for PTO or ensure tasks were reassigned to backups in real time. Now, Quickbase helps us track who’s out and automatically shifts assignments to their backup for that day. It’s not fully automated, but it’s already better than what we had before. For example, if someone is out, their tasks flip to their backup, and when they return, it flips back. This saves us from manually tracking everything and reduces errors. Another issue was sorting tasks by date and time. Quickbase allowed us to create formulas to sort properly, even though it took some trial and error to get it right. It’s also helped us with tracking the most recent completed dates for projects, which was something we couldn’t do easily before. Overall, it’s made our workflows more manageable, even if there’s still some manual work involved."
Quickbase: Simple Database Building with Powerful Automations and Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about Quickbase is its simplicity when creating databases. Compared to other tools, Quickbase makes it really easy to create lookup fields from child to parent and even in the opposite direction. It is a very user-friendly platform with great automation and integration capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is that you become dependent on those automations, and some integrations require code, for which there isn’t much flexibility within Quickbase. Quickbase is excellent for small to medium-sized companies that need to handle day-to-day processes. For more complex needs or large-scale operations, however, it may cause some problems, as they require more customization (code).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase helps us track some of our main processes with simplicity and a user-friendly environment. Our business often requires updates to our processes, architecture, and integrations, and Quickbase helps us adapt to all of these changes very easily.
Intuitive Reporting Tool with Room for Automation
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Quickbase makes it easy to create reports from one table. It's very intuitive and allows me to take large pieces of data and break them down into smaller, more focused tables, charts, or reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to be able to automate some stuff like PDF upload for POs etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase helps me in recording purchase orders and analyzing spend data. It streamlines catalogue management and functions like an Excel sheet, simplifying report creation from large datasets and organizing them into insightful smaller tables and charts.
Efficient Data Collection with Growing Pains
What do you like best about the product?
I love the online and offline feature for data collection. Also, I loved the new OCR feature, which makes it much easier to get accurate data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The OCR feature needs to improve as it sometimes does not capture all fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase helps me collect accurate data, including model and serial numbers and pictures, easily. I love its online and offline data collection features and the new OCR feature, which makes data accuracy easier, though it sometimes misses fields.
Centralized, Well-Organized Data with Easy Reporting and Case Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we can keep all information about our organization in one centralized location. Everything is well organized by area, and we can easily generate reports and filter data by date or other fields whenever needed. For my part, I can keep my case manager notes neatly organized and track my cases more effectively using different filters, which makes following up with clients much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like that it keeps my last-used filters even after I close the tabs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase is helping us go green by reducing our reliance on paper. Since adopting this platform, we no longer need to keep paper records. I’ve benefited from this because it’s much easier to search through records digitally than to dig through physical documents.
Easy, No-Code App Building That Streamlines Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Quickbase is how easy it is to build and customize applications without heavy coding. It really helps streamline processes and automate workflows quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Quickbase is powerful, the UI can feel a bit outdated compared to modern platforms. Some advanced customizations also require workarounds that aren’t always intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase helps solve challenges around fragmented data and manual processes by centralizing information and automating workflows in one platform. This has improved efficiency, reduced errors, and allowed me to deliver faster, more reliable solutions for business operations.
Simplicity and Configurability Meet Slow Navigation
What do you like best about the product?
I like Quickbase for its simplicity and configurability. The initial setup was also very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very slow to navigate from one page to another and from one app to another. Sometimes I feel lost in the path to take to get to a specific page I want to join. I'd like to be logged in automatically when I click on my bookmarked link.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Quickbase to get updated data about accounts in one place, log my activities, and follow up on account performance.
