An extremely versatile foundation offering abundant opportunities for customization
What do you like best about the product?
The assistance is commendable whenever necessary, and the platform showcases remarkable adaptability, making it relatively user-friendly for setting up basic applications and equipped with a wealth of built-in features. More complex tasks may demand some understanding of formulas and basic coding, but a proficient Excel user would likely grasp these concepts quickly. Moreover, the Quickbase community forum proves incredibly valuable when facing challenges in achieving desired functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occasion, when facing technological problems like performance degradation, it noticeably hampers the speed of our app. Since we rely on the app regularly, having an offline version that could sync changes once the issues are resolved would be highly beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The inventory tracking, financial transformations, and database management aspects of QuickBase handle tasks that would be nearly impossible or risky for humans. By taking care of these challenging and sometimes bothersome tasks, QuickBase enables us to concentrate on developing programs, managing data, and creating exceptional user experiences. Moreover, it's worth mentioning that the technical support offered by the QuickBase team is exceptional—prompt, dependable, and highly reliable.
Solid platform solution that grows with you.
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is simply the most dynamic, organic application I have worked with. Having never used it before I started my current project and having minimal, outdated programming experience I was able to quickly produce tables of related data with promising results. As time moved on and I became more comfortable and was ready to expand what Quickbase could do for my department it was right there with the ability to expand my application without having to rework my application, I could simply integrate the changes and improvements that I wanted almost seamlessly with my production environment and almost no down time for my users.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some spots where the documentation is a little lacking BUT the user community is right there to fill in the gaps and it is very much a community willing to help anyone and everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time Entry, Payroll processing, Equipment management, Repair Tickets, Project Management, Invoicing.
Simply the most customizable solution out there
What do you like best about the product?
You can customize and connect Quickbase in almost any way imaginable. It is low code and easy to learn even without formal training. We have used it in so many different ways, from getting data from our jobsites to processing payroll.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is high to start connecting to other applications. It was once more affordable but now charges for every time a 3rd party app taps into your database to retrive or update information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to take any information and turn it into a data set about employee and jobsite productivity is amazing. Using simple formulas there are endless ways to track jobsite data.
Very good for CRM and project management.
What do you like best about the product?
The way it works with Excel - I can download etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you have to be in view only to access links.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CRM - keeping all our projects in a secure and accessible place. and for ongoing project management.
GREAT SOFTWARE TO KEEP TRACK
What do you like best about the product?
My company is able to keept logs of calls along with a confirmation number.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. It does the job well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to keep logs of calls and have a confirmation number to ensure keeping track.
Great Backend
What do you like best about the product?
It handles the messy bits for you (backend, security, performance), which allows for users to focus more on the funcitonality and delivery of their data. I especially like how you can basically take any set of data, and piggyback off of the backend that's already in place (stored data, API calls, URL-Paramaters) and create your own experience using the meat and potatoes you already have set up (ie: code pages, pipelines).
What do you dislike about the product?
Focus on no-code. The advanced features and code pages are great for real developers who want to do real things beyond the same boring front-end experience that default QB offers, which is to say that it's by default an extremely limited and blan database visulaizer similar to how Sql Server Management Studio would offer a front end interfaxe to an SQL database. I believe they could offer better support for the advanced (development) features, it's like generally most stuff is possible, but there are zero resources on getting you started you have to already have a few years of full-stack experience to figure it out for yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking inventory (not humanly possible), some financial transformations/conversions (risky, complicated for humans), and the fact that it handles the DB/back-end for all of our apps/data, the hard/risky/annoying bits are taken care of for us which allows us to focus more on the programs/data/experiences we provide/create with QuickBase. One other thing worth noting is that the technical support provided by the QB team is outstanding, fast and reliable.
A solid platform that provides a lot of customisability
What do you like best about the product?
The support is good when needed and the platform is very versatile, relatively easy to use to set up basic apps and has plenty of built in functionality. There is some knowledge of formulas and basic coding required if you want to do anything more complex, but a competent Excel user would be able to pick most of that up relatively quickly and the Quickbase community forum is very helpful for times you are struggling to get something to work the way you want it to.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some missing customisation options, for example, some charts don't save your colour presets once there's no data to pull, the next time the chart pulls data it'll be a random different colour a minor irritation but can be irritating all the same. Some functionality is missing in the New Forms, but this is a new faeature so probably still being worked on and the limit for table automations is quite low (10). Lastly, the lack of ability to CC and BCC people into Notifications. But overall, Quickbase is a great platofrm once you get the hang of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to replace an old BDM/Workflow software we had been using, Quickbase has enabled us to carry our data across from the old platform, replicate the important functions, introduce some new functions and allow sus to see and manage our workflows in a more transparent and efficient manner.
Quickbase made deliverables to much faster
What do you like best about the product?
The low code platform makeup for the development time and it integrates with our APIs easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can sometime get overwhelming for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The low code development made it easy to ship out product and helped us to fasten our development time. The integration were also great.
This is great for the creative side of you!
What do you like best about the product?
This platform has unlimited use cases. I am always finding new ideas where it can be useful when I see dependency on spreadsheets with large volumes of information.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be more individual assistance, but there really isn't much that I do not like. The value is great and it keeps growing. I just would recommend not just the online training groups, they are good and can be reviewed but it is not my best learning environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing data together for our metrics and the reporting options for the metrics. We have a Procore integration which pulls data over for evaluation and increased reporting opportunities.
