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.
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.

Easy-to-Use, Powerful Data Insights for Our Logistics
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase has been a solid tool for us, especially when it comes to managing the logistics of our food delivery program. One of the things I appreciate most is how well it integrates with other tools we use, like FastField. For example, we’ve been able to connect our bulk order forms directly into Quickbase, so every submission automatically creates a record in our Quickbase tables. It's very easy to pick up and lets us easily manipulate large amounts of data to gain incredibly useful insights on our processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
More customizability would be very helpful. We've found a lot of utility with the Code Page feature, but it lacks a lot of elements that traditional IDE environments have, like debugging and support for file structures. Pipelines could also be a little more intuitive. Otherwise, it has been a very easy to use and powerful tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, a lot of our processes were manual and tedious. For example, we used to track inventory and deliveries with pen and paper, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. Now, we’re working on building out an inventory tracking system in Quickbase, and even though it’s still in the prototype phase, it’s already clear how much smoother things will be once we fully implement it. Another big challenge was cleaning up data from external submissions, like addresses and emails. We’ve had issues with incomplete or incorrect information, which required a lot of manual cleanup in Excel. With Quickbase, we’re starting to explore ways to automate some of that validation and reduce the amount of cleanup work. Overall, Quickbase has helped us streamline our workflows and start moving toward more automation, which is a big step forward for our small team.
Developer's Dream Sandbox with Robust Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Quickbase is like a giant sandbox. I enjoy the fact that if you can articulate an idea, it can most likely be built or solutioned in Quickbase. There are a lot of controls for the developer, such as code pages, formula fields, restructuring of tables, pipelines, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tracking where elements of Quickbase are used is lacking. For example, if I want to know where a report is used (perhaps embedded, perhaps referenced in a formula, etc) I can't get a good understanding of this unless I know from memory or do a deep dive into formula fields and form elements. I look forward to an easy dev, test, and production environment built into Quickbase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I build full-scale applications, dashboards, and reports. Quickbase is a giant sandbox with many developer controls like code pages and pipelines. You can build almost anything you can think of.
Quickbase Streamlines Project Tracking and Keeps Everything Centralized
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase makes it easier to keep track of daily progress on our projects. We’re able to log in and see exactly how much work has been done, like how many documents have been entered, and that helps us answer client questions quickly. It’s also helpful that Quickbase lets us upload our final product into file storage, so everything is organized and accessible. The ability to work remotely and still have everything centralized in Quickbase is a big plus for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Before Quickbase, we were doing everything in Excel, and it was hard to see day-to-day progress from our contractors. If a client called asking for an update, we’d have to dig through files manually, which took time. Now, with Quickbase, we can track daily progress and see exactly where things stand. It’s also helped us streamline how we manage our title reports, which are complex and involve a lot of moving parts. Quickbase has made it easier to keep everything connected and organized, from the run sheets to the mineral chains and leasehold chains. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s a step forward in making our workflow more efficient and transparent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase is solving our lack of real-time visibility, fragmented data, and manual reporting. Previously, project status, document counts, and contractor activity had to be tracked across spreadsheets and emails, which made it difficult to answer time-sensitive questions, forecast workload, and ensure consistency. With Quickbase, our data is centralized and structured, so we can see progress at a granular level, standardize workflows, and maintain a clear audit trail from source documents to final deliverables. This improves turnaround time, reduces manual errors, and allows us to give faster, more accurate updates while managing remote teams more effectively. It also helps with accountability, resource planning, and identifying bottlenecks early, which leads to more predictable timelines and better overall operational efficiency.
Confident Learning Curve for Creating Custom Reports
What do you like best about the product?
I use Quickbase to organize and track waste management for several facilities. I am in my tracking logs almost daily. I can not pick just one feature I like the best, there are several. For example, I love how much time I am saving having everything in one place, how easy it is to share with other team members, and having the drop down menu prevents duplications. As well as how easy it is to export to a spreadsheet or email a log to others that are not on the team. Before Quickbase, I had to do a lot of copy/paste from multiple places to create a report. This was time consuming and not a very accurate way to get the numbers so things had to be checked and double checked often. Some reporting could take hours, now, with the customer reports, it is simply choose what is needed by clicking a couple of button, select the date range and its ready to be sent out. I do appreciate how I can click into the reports and it takes me directly to the data behind the numbers. Maybe that is the #1 feature, for today anyway.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm still learning how to create my own reports. This doesn't seem to be very easy for me yet. But I'm sure after I've done it a few more times I will get the hang of it. I have had a chance to customize a few.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase has solved one big problem, preparing monthly reports to management and regulatory agencies. Having everything in one log eliminates keeping multiple logs for different "outputs". Having the options to create custom reports for the same data entry form is a huge timesaver and prevents errors. I am still solving problems as new needs arise we are able to add tables and will continue to improve our tracking capabilities.
Quickbase Centralizes Our Data with Flexible Permissions and Automation
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase makes it easier to manage and track the data we need without having to jump between multiple systems. I like that it centralizes everything in one place, especially for tracking studies, agreements, and invoicing. It’s also flexible enough to adapt to what we need as we grow. For example, we’ve been able to set up permissions so users only see the data relevant to them, which is important since we have multiple sites using the app. The ability to customize forms and automate processes is another big plus—it saves us time and reduces manual work. I also appreciate that Quickbase offers tools like pipelines to help cut down on repetitive data entry.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, I haven’t been able to identify any downsides. They’ve been helpful and responsive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, a lot of our processes were manual and scattered. For example, we had forms that people had to download, fill out, and email back, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. Now, we’re working on automating those forms so the data goes directly into Quickbase, which will save us a lot of back-and-forth. Another challenge was tracking all the details for our studies and agreements across multiple sites. Quickbase helps us centralize that information so it’s easier to manage and pull reports. We’re also looking to integrate Quickbase with QuickBooks to streamline invoicing and reduce the manual work of entering data into multiple systems. Overall, it’s helping us save time, stay organized, and make our processes more efficient.
MInd-blown
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is control and flexibility. I can do a lot of automation like Create reports, Email alerts, Status changes and Escalations without extensive coding knowledge.
What do you dislike about the product?
Advanced dashboards aren’t as powerful as dedicated BI tools. Reports slow down if there is a lot of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-Time Data Visibility - It gives me live dashboards and reports that update instantly as users input data. For example: I can track trucks status in supply chain, Monitor invoice payments, Identify bottlenecks in procurement cycles, etc.
This makes it great for operational transparency.

Quickbase Centralizes Our Data and Streamlines Operations
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase has been a good fit for us because it allows us to track and manage a lot of different types of data in one place. We started using it in 2021, and it’s been helpful for keeping everything digital, especially after the pandemic when we moved away from paper records. I like that it’s flexible and customizable, so we can adapt it to our needs. For example, we’ve been able to use it for tracking attendance, inventory, and even gift cards by scanning barcodes. It’s also nice that it works well across different teams and departments, which is important for us since we have a lot of moving parts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Before Quickbase, we had to rely on paper records for everything, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Even after moving to digital records, we were still printing forms for signatures and then scanning them back into the system, which felt like a waste of time and resources. With Quickbase, we’ve been able to keep all our enrollment and intake forms digital, which saves us a lot of extra work and paper.
Another challenge was tracking attendance and services. Right now, teachers manually mark attendance on weekly sheets, and we don’t have a way to track when clients enter or leave the building. Quickbase has helped us start exploring solutions for these issues, like using barcodes or QR codes to track check-ins and check-outs. It’s also helped us manage inventory, like tracking the distribution of diapers or gift cards.
Overall, Quickbase has made it easier to centralize our data and streamline processes. It’s not perfect, and there are still things we’re working on, like making sure new features are user-friendly for everyone, but it’s been a solid tool for organizing and managing our operations.

Seamless Setup and Flexibility with Quickbase
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Quickbase is the simplicity of it, from both the developer and the user standpoint. I like the flexibility of the system, and it's extremely easy to solve complex problems with Quickbase. I also like how fluid the system and platform are—there's never been anything that we wanted to do or solve in Quickbase that we couldn't figure out a way to do. The initial setup of Quickbase was seamless for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I can think of that could be improved for Quickbase is modernizing the user interface. Other companies similar to Quickbase are heavily involved in using artificial intelligence. Quickbase is using artificial intelligence in a lot of areas throughout the platform, but they might be a bit behind in terms of AI, however this could also be a good thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Quickbase to improve workflows. It helps us manage inventory and financial compliance amongst many other processes. It also helps us by eliminating complications for more efficient operations.
