We use QB for all our internal office project management.
What do you like best about the product?
For me I like QuickBase because it is a full project management software. It has all your invoicing buttons such as PO's, Payables, Invoice status etc... We also use it as our internal ticketing system to know which stores we are visiting for repairs.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not really much I dislike at all. Everything is very customizable so anytime there was a feature I could have used QuickBase usually had it available in code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's beneficial because it's a one stop solution for us. Customers send us a ticket, we create it in the system, we track it in the system, we can assign reps to it, we can close it out, create the invoice and anything else all with this one program.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! If you're using many other platforms or software for different aspects of your business I would recommend trying out QuickBase. It's very nice to have everything consolidated into 1 app. Very customizable so you can get the look and feel that you desire.

The best low-code solution I have tried, but lacks an international language protocol
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is an easily learning and trustworthy low-code platform for development of applications. Quickbase provides learning material and has a wide base of users that publish solutions for daily problems in blogs and in youtube. They have also a prompt support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks of an international language protocol, therefore, all the data using portuguese, french and spanish caracters like: ç, è, é, ã etc will be messed when you try to sync data between tables and gmail. The lack of an affordable customer portal is something that really bother us: if your company would like to provide access to your customers/clients in a controled area (with login and password) Quickbase will charge you 15 ou 25 dolars for every user (even if they are only view users).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Quickbase for more than six months and have developed it so far: a contact database for our company, a CRM for our sales team and an application for control and verification of electric bills, which also provides efficiency indicators. We also create processes (BPM) to make our applications work together and synchronized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like many others plataforms you can try before buying. If you are looking for a Low-code development, you have to consider Quickbase. Brazilians, portuguese, spanish and french fellows: you will face problems with non-english caracters (like ç, é, ã etc.).
Easy to build apps
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to make stuff (once you learn how). Easy to customize. Affordable.
What do you dislike about the product?
OMG, where do I start...
#1 most annoying thing: Cannot write data to a reference field. In other words, you can view parent table data in a child table, but you can't edit/write data from the child table view back into the parent. It is SOOOOO annoying to the user experience. Just fix that, and you'll save years and years of wasted clicking by users as they navigate up the table chain to find where the data lives.
#2 most annoying thing. Doesn't have a really responsive search (sometimes if there are too many records, it actually gives you a pop-up window to select the record from). WTF? Seriously? There needs to be some kind of super-fast auto-fill guessing like when one types in the search box of so many other websites.
#3, There's little flexibility with visual look & feel.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asset management, process tracking, CRM, data hosting for other web services (using the QB API).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give yourself a month to learn it. Look at other solutions. Once you start building apps, the switching cost is high.
Quickbase helps deliver better systems faster
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you don't need a lot of standard programming resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the functionality around table relationships was more robust and the UI was more customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used QB for mostly spreadsheet and MS access driven process replacement and improvement. Because of the online nature and ease of data integration the tool has helped us recognize incredible time savings without high developer costs.
What I think of QuickBase
What do you like best about the product?
This software is a very easy and straight forward software to use. It is great for record keeping and data gathering. It cant be used a ticketing system if you are trying to track issues in your company. I am happy that you are able to access this software off site and also easy to use from a mobile device.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the search system. It is hard to look up a case without the case number. It is not impossible to locate the case but it is much harder than if you could use other details to help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps with managing cases and ticketing for ongoing issues and well as holds records for history purposes.
Advanced Beginner - really well done, flexible app builder
What do you like best about the product?
A few things -
Their "App Exchange" is an open resource of pre-formatted apps that can easily be customized for your needs. The company culture is all abourt working together and finding clever solutions to common issues - at an affordable price.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced needs are beyond my technical ability, but QBase has tons of resources to help you come up to speed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many - from employee onboarding to job tracking and asset mgmt. Efficiencies and standardization are the best benefits to date. Also - FINALLY have one collective - NON-PAPER - repository for all company info and data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very simple to begin slowly w an Exchange template and customize for your needs. Also recommend drawing out (literally) - the process and expectations for your finished app. Review your approach w business users - only THEN begin to build out tables, relationships and additional features. Don't expect the first version you build to be a finished product: We have found QBase works best in a state of constant improvement and tweeking as users submit their needs and desires. Also - their Community is great support tool, as well as their annual Conference.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
We use quick base specifically for accounting and budget keeping purposes. I love that everything is in one place - especially communication surrounding the budget. We use it to put our marketing tickets in so that they can be easily tracked and accounting can pay for them. Nothing gets lost. This program is accessible from any internet connection and does not require a download. You can upload an invoice directly with your budget ticket submission. It even allows you to communicate directly with accounting on the platform. It will send you notifications to your email to let you know when things have changed or if someone else has commented on a specific ticket.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think this is overall a great product. Unfortunately, it adds yet another product to our long list of products we use. We wish we could be able to stream line some, but this is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication in regards to budgeting. There are no longer lost emails of communicating budget needs, changes, and invoices. This definitely solves our issues in this regards. With so many products and so many people on our team, our accountant was struggling with keeping up with all the budget ticket requests. We were using emails to communicate and some times things were said in calls or meeting and were not recorded.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great way to stream line your budget. It allows your team to stay organized and everything budget related stays in one place.
Very useful, though has a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Highly customizable and relatively easy to use (versus setting up a database from scratch)
What do you dislike about the product?
There is quite the learning curve when setting up a new database and relationships between different areas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped us organize a lot of different things in our business.
