Very fast and easy to set up, *non-technical*
What do you like best about the product?
I would give a 10/10, the only thing is this software may be a little bit outside of some people's price range for a smaller-sized operation. Quickbase is perfect for an established business, hobbyist, event organizer, or others with outdated, stale, or insufficient internal operations or record management, which/who want(s) to move into the 21st century (easily and reliably) or to whip up a quick app to handle their record-keeping needs. Quickbsae will get you where you need to be, and it looks nice too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Marketing terminology has a negative impact on technical people (developers, administrators) working with the system and potentially scares them off. It's great that a "no-code'" approach is possible, and the system is accessible to anybody, but the heavy focus on the "no-code" branding deters real developers from getting their hands dirty. I love the additional functionality, but the "no-code" branding and related terminology feels like a pair of handcuffs, gag, and duck tape over the mouth of your career should you get involved. Still, it could be a great starting place for others who might be just starting their careers. There are programming concepts and technical things required to harness the full potential of this software (definitely not necessary, though), and it offers excellent experience nonetheless (the experience is similar to the role of a LAMP Web Developer, minus the development, PHP, and frameworks).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal operations, including some payroll, accounting, item inventory, project management, employee record-keeping, etc.
Powerful & Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Its sheer flexibility has allowed us to handle use cases that no out-of-the-box software product would cover, and Pipelines is a very powerful tool for automations and integrations with other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way permissions are set in multiple places/levels and inherited means sometimes there are surprises as to who cannot access something, and it can be challenging to find the right place to fix it when an issue arises. Hard table size limit can also make it a challenge to scale past a certain level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a highly flexible low-code platform for app development Quickbase has allowed our Ops and Data teams to build the tools we need to manage and report on the work our customer-facing teams are doing and to evolve the tools very quickly as those teams' needs change.

App management can become complex once you build out a robust app. Also, you may build out apps in a way that makes sense initially but causes issues later on.

The flexibility the product offers allows nearly infinite possibilities for solutions to meet your needs. The feature set is rich and powerful.

We use it primarily for management of project tasks and assets. It helps us track manufacturing and customer deliveries as well as what inventory we have in the field.
