Great Platform with Lots of Potential
What do you like best about the product?
QuickBase's interface has truly been setup to allow the majority of Citizen Developers to quickly and easily begin building business applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the product claims to be targeted to Citizen Developers first, in truth, building complex business systems requires at least some passing experience in fields like business analysis. Additionally, users that don't have a firm grasp on the concepts of relational databases will find building anything other than a basic app daunting (though, this goes for most of QuickBase's peers, as well).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use QuickBase to solve BPM issues for my clients. I am part of QuickBase's QSP program and work with QuickBase customers to develop everything from standard CRMs to custom integrations with 3rd party software. Most of my clients have seen an enormous benefit with respect to data quality and time saved in processing paperwork and reporting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Smaller companies should not be afraid to try their service. While companies with larger development budgets or IT departments may see MORE benefit, smaller companies will be able to reap many benefits from utilizing their service to build business applications. I will suggest, however, that the smaller clients keep in mind they may need assistance from someone like a QSP in order to realize their full potential on the platform.
Quickbase: Automation at ease
What do you like best about the product?
Customizing an online form without coding is great. You can use the if/then logic to display applicable fields based on previous selection, and set up workflows based on your requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, I have no complaints. Initially, I tried to figure Quickbase out without training, which was a little bit frustrating. Ever since I went to the QB conference and got training under my belt, it was easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the need to merge multiple forms into one.
Business Process Automation the Easy Way
What do you like best about the product?
For QuickBase app builders, It's easy to pick up, especially for those who like to learn by doing. Start by uploading a spreadsheet and play around with charts, reports, then on to designing input forms, etc. The recorded and live QuickBase webminars with demos help a lot!
For QuickBase users, it's very easy to use and navigate, and pretty to look at, and easier to use than a conventional database.

What do you dislike about the product?
As more users use it, more interesting ideas come up and not all of those can be accommodated with the existing functionality. The current charting functions could be enhanced to support more data series and groupings. The brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks function should allow reminders related to a timing event in addition to a record create/update/delete event.
I can see the QuickBase dev team is working to address these issues though.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have built a dozen business process automation QuickBase apps already:
E.g. A hardware asset, software license and support contract tracking app that report on licenses that need renewing in the next 90 days, what step purchases are at in procurement along with all the quotations and invoices received. Not more missed renewals and expired licenses.
E.g. A vacation tracker that lets our team submit vacation requests to our project manager. With the brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks integrations and a cron job, new vacation requests and upcoming vacation reminders are sent into a HipChat team room.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a no-brainer really. Put a stop to the spreadsheet emailing cycles and build QuickBase apps instead!
Great product, great support
What do you like best about the product?
Simple software design allowed us to create a bespoke database that met our exact needs without the requirement of hiring an IT consultant to do the work for us. We kept the database design in house and continually develop the software for our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many style options within the software, the layout of the database could be a tad more user friendly to make data more readable. There is also no option to email customers from within the software, this still has to be done via an external email client.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have automated all of our processes into one database, reducing duplicate data entry and maximising efficiency. We have now created numerous databases, most importantly one which manages our brand protection department and allows us to keep track of any misuse of our brand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great software and great support. Tailor the software to meet your every needs. So many great features and thousands of apps already developed for you to take advantage of.

Quickbase is the easiest and most powerful service to create nice looking and useful applications accross the company. You can easily solve inumerous and complex business cases in days.

Limitations for linking records. You will have difficulties to perform SQL/SELECT like queries across tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Brilliant cloud service for easy application creation and management

This awesome cloud service empowers users without coding skills with the ability to create, administrate and share apps worldwide. The app building process is incredibly simple and there are tons of documentation available for everything from building simple applications from scratch to utilizing API functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support for UTF-8 encoding could have been better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
QuickBase has made process management way easier in my company and it is also a great foundation for improved business insight through numerous report options. This service replaced countless spreadsheets and took a lot of strain away from the IT department.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate to try it!
Versatile, User Friendly, No Code problem solver!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been able to solve many business need problems will very little time, effort, and cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see the mobile and tablet User Interface enhanced and I understand that is in the works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many work flow issues which have helped eliminate excess emailing to pass work back and forth.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a specific business problem you would like to solve, just ask for some feedback from one of the teams. There have been a few things we could not accomplish but for the most part we have always been able to find a solution.
QuickBase Rules! Spreadsheets Drool!
What do you like best about the product?
With QuickBase, you can easily pull reports of the data you need to see! Because it is so versatile with reporting, you can pull up a report with certain criteria and then change that criteria quickly in order to create a whole new report! Now there are dashboards to display reports from multiple apps! QuickBase is very easy to use and allows you to easily manage a LOT of data. Make sure you get the right plan for your company's needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pipelines does not yet allow you to add in steps when you miss one or a new one needs to happen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently use QB for a variety of apps, but I can and do create QuickBase for anything that people would normally create a spreadsheet. Recently I have created two different apps to handle Grant Management and Tracking. The government entity loves QuickBase. It streamlines everything and saves them from having to create humungous spreadsheets that eventually crash.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Getting the right size QuickBase Plan is key to being successful. Too small and you don't get enough features, too big and you are wasting money on things you may not need unless you plan to scale.
QuickBase for me
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can pull all the reporting I need for multiple clients together and view all data needed at once! It makes it easy for checks and balances and to see what is complete and what is still open for each month.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I have to download my reports into Excel for it to be a readable report. I don't mind the extra steps, but it would be nice to be able to print the table format that I am viewing in QuickBase instead of making an Excel spreadsheet all fancy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a consulting and outsourcing service company that handles thousands of locations. We use QuickBase to hold all billing, service issues, invoice auditing, credit requests and customer service data. We offer streamlined billing, locked in rates and a team in the background making sure services run smoothly!
QuickBase helps with the flow of our incoming and outgoing service calls and with our auditing and data collection each month!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works great as a whole in that in you can build it to your needs! It is fairly easy to do the back end design as well!

Event reporting and data analysis. Much more streamlined and better oversight for supervisors
