Simply the most customizable solution out there
What do you like best about the product?
You can customize and connect Quickbase in almost any way imaginable. It is low code and easy to learn even without formal training. We have used it in so many different ways, from getting data from our jobsites to processing payroll.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is high to start connecting to other applications. It was once more affordable but now charges for every time a 3rd party app taps into your database to retrive or update information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to take any information and turn it into a data set about employee and jobsite productivity is amazing. Using simple formulas there are endless ways to track jobsite data.
A solid platform that provides a lot of customisability
What do you like best about the product?
The support is good when needed and the platform is very versatile, relatively easy to use to set up basic apps and has plenty of built in functionality. There is some knowledge of formulas and basic coding required if you want to do anything more complex, but a competent Excel user would be able to pick most of that up relatively quickly and the Quickbase community forum is very helpful for times you are struggling to get something to work the way you want it to.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some missing customisation options, for example, some charts don't save your colour presets once there's no data to pull, the next time the chart pulls data it'll be a random different colour a minor irritation but can be irritating all the same. Some functionality is missing in the New Forms, but this is a new faeature so probably still being worked on and the limit for table automations is quite low (10). Lastly, the lack of ability to CC and BCC people into Notifications. But overall, Quickbase is a great platofrm once you get the hang of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to replace an old BDM/Workflow software we had been using, Quickbase has enabled us to carry our data across from the old platform, replicate the important functions, introduce some new functions and allow sus to see and manage our workflows in a more transparent and efficient manner.
Quickbase made deliverables to much faster
What do you like best about the product?
The low code platform makeup for the development time and it integrates with our APIs easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can sometime get overwhelming for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The low code development made it easy to ship out product and helped us to fasten our development time. The integration were also great.
This is great for the creative side of you!
What do you like best about the product?
This platform has unlimited use cases. I am always finding new ideas where it can be useful when I see dependency on spreadsheets with large volumes of information.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be more individual assistance, but there really isn't much that I do not like. The value is great and it keeps growing. I just would recommend not just the online training groups, they are good and can be reviewed but it is not my best learning environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing data together for our metrics and the reporting options for the metrics. We have a Procore integration which pulls data over for evaluation and increased reporting opportunities.
Create a database to clean up the mess of spreadsheets with little to no experience
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is a user friendly tool that allows you to create a relational database with minimal technical skills. I was able to take a mess of spreadsheets tracking partners, their engagements, contact informaiton and so much more into a database with all the relevant reports in a couple months (not dedicated time, while managing many other products). You can put a basic database together in a day if you are starting with clean data.
It has a clean look and feel, if you have the capacity to add some custom code pages, that is an option that is also available.
The new forms builder makes for a much better looking forms than what was available previously and allows for showing steps or pages at the top and more control over the formatting of the page.
We were able to integrate Quickbase to Monday.com workflows and Salesforce accounts. We are in the process of transitioning our Fluxx grants management process to Quickbase as well which has been very well received by teams currently testing.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you are used to a more traditional database, it takes some getting used to but still user friendly. For example, if you want a report that shows fields from multiple tables in the database, you need to add lookup fields to the table you are pulling from.
Sometimes you need to get creative with their formulas to get your desired outcome like using link formulas to allow one user role to view a record in a form other than the default form for their role but most things are possible even if not native.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had the issue of our data being difficult to access, needing to control access to relevant information for the entire organization for fear that someone would mistakenly edit a excel sheet, now we can set permissions to host all the information in one place and give folks access to what they need.
We needed data in a place where it could be brought into the overall data management platform for cross component analytics, data lake etc. and this fixed that issue for us.

The customization of Quickbase is definitely the best part. As we've grown as a business, we've been able to change the way we utilize Quickbase to fit our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides of using Quickbase would have to be: storage/data limits. As we've grown as a business, we've run into issues exceeding the threshold, but have been able to work around it.

What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like it is difficult at times for an end user like me to modify QuickBase to create an application that fits my teams needs. It would be benificial to have a dedicated support person from QuickBase assist with some of the build out that occurs witin the individaul applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing my team to create visibility for the work that is underway and also prioritize which projects and inititiaves need to occur first.
