An excellent platform for quickly prototyping and delivering new data-heavy processes and workflows
What do you like best about the product?
The biggest upside is the platform's instant prototyping for data structures and templated reporting.
You can quickly scale up new data structures and processes to test workflows.
The general customer support is responsive to email/portal queries and questions.
The general interface is easy to use for non-technical users who have any experience with any web-based
The Proserve (purchased block of consulting hours) support is excellent. Quickbase has suite of experts with deep knowledge in specific focus areas - we engaged them around API usage, data validity and overall platform governance - they were engaged.

What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of the interface simplicity is the lack of custom controls, logic and validation - if you have complex data entry/data validation needs, you may need to look to other automation platforms to handle data validation.
Luckily, the APIs are near complete coverage and make data automation in and out of the platform easy. The platform scales well to many users and SaaS uptime was never an issue.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase is a great platform to quickly design and scale up workflows, projects and other low-code data-intensive initatives; it provides excellent data visibility for management and analysts. Quickbase is excellent for speed-to-market and iterative design; letting us handle integratins quickly w/o having to design a low-code from scratch.
Easy to Use Tool for Custom Apps
What do you like best about the product?
It makes it easy to create apps without knowing how to code. drag-and-drop feature and ready templates save a lot of time. it also connects well with other tools and easy to implement as a newbie as well
What do you dislike about the product?
It is expensive, especially for smaller businesses, Sometimes advance customization is not as easy and might require deeper knowledge of the product, User interface can be better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us maintian many data domains into 1 place like projects, people, sites etc. It also saves time by automating tasks and reducing mistakes in our data. we use Quickbase webhooks for real-time data which helps us keep our data and system upto date
Some good and some bad things.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to customize a database and having different options to how the database works is awesome!
I like the idea of the Office Hours however, I wish there were more opportunities/times available (instead of 1 hour each day).
There are ways to create custom roles for internal and external users; this helps keep certain data/internal processes private.

What do you dislike about the product?
They force changes on the users (e.g. the Sidebar Navigation versus Top Navigation); changes in how some of the reporting graphs are (e.g. the total change from a gauge chart to a totally different circular design).
These changes without letting the end user decide what is best for them is not very customer friendly.
There should be more individualized trainings available, specific to what the business users needs are; I don't mind the general training/certification, but it's too generalized and doesn't always fit the actual training needed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm still waiting to hear about the graph issue I shared a several weeks ago.
The current graphs shorten long titled categories (on bar charts, pie charts, etc.). Yes, the new dashboard does fix this, which is great. However, the new dashboard gets rid of the current gauge charts and replaces them with some circular design.
I wouldn't mind switching to the new dashboard if we can keep using the current gauge charts. OR, fix the issue with the long titled categories having "..." on the charts on the current dashboard.

Quickbase - All in one solution for your organization (Like IFS and Salesforce CRM)
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity at it's peak. Quickbase API documentation is really helping everyone of us everyday.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instead of Field ID's or Table ID's in API call, if we can get Table Name and Field Names with Field ID's and Table ID's will help us recognize each table and field in less time. For this we are maintaning seperate mapping sheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to store our satellite data and also using it for storing and managing Employees data everyday.
Quickbase deployment in small business setting
What do you like best about the product?
The biggest benefits for our organization have been the relability and speed of working with large data sets. It is easy to create most simple apps and connect data in relatively simple ways. When we have more complex requirements it can be more difficult, especially for users with no coding experience. Our team uses Quickbase daily for a number of different work tasks. Implementation went smoothly with native support for a salesforce connection which helped us automatically refresh data from a key client.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support is lacking severly. Self serve options are to search forums which often have outdated information which can send you down a rabbit hole that doesnt even solve the issue at hand. Support has been decent over email or phone, but can take considerable time and is totally hands off in an attempt to drive sales for enablement services. We were afforded an hour of enablement through our customer success manager to build a simple Google Sheet pipeline, but after the builder couldn't figure it out we were simply delegated to regular support to resolve the issue which didn't provide any confidence in the value of paid enablement services. We are in our 3rd year with Quickbase are reviewing other options as we are not confident we are receiving the most value out for the premium price of the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase is helping us keep our improtant data safe, private and easy to work without us having to worry about cloud infrastructure and data backups. It provides easy, customaizable ways (forms) for our teams to interact with our data and report on it.
Great for many use cases - could run more smoothly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that my team members that aren't famliar with operating databases are able to easily use custom dashboards and create reports. The similarities to industry standard tools like Microsoft Excel make it easy for non-technical experts to get the information they need.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems that the team is falling into the all-too-common trap of adding AI enabled bells and whistles while some of its basic features fall short. I very basic problem that I CONSISTENTLY have is form fields not pulling information from related tables seamlessly. The automations are also a bit clunky and the UI could be more intuitive. I would suggest prioritizing regression testing and makings existing features better rather than adding features that have fewer use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
QB enables us to to connect data structures easily so that we can compartmentalize information proactively for donor reporting.
Our company contracted with QB to write a project management application for project management.
What do you like best about the product?
QB speeds up the tracking process and improved time management.
What do you dislike about the product?
getting all of our components in the platform to link.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
time management and data integrity control
good mix of user friendly and robust
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is very adaptable and flexible for multiple use cases
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see more built-in functionality for ease of implementation vs having to build everything from scratch. For example, would love to see built-in functionality around identifying, preventing, and merging duplicates.
