Powerful & Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Its sheer flexibility has allowed us to handle use cases that no out-of-the-box software product would cover, and Pipelines is a very powerful tool for automations and integrations with other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way permissions are set in multiple places/levels and inherited means sometimes there are surprises as to who cannot access something, and it can be challenging to find the right place to fix it when an issue arises. Hard table size limit can also make it a challenge to scale past a certain level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a highly flexible low-code platform for app development Quickbase has allowed our Ops and Data teams to build the tools we need to manage and report on the work our customer-facing teams are doing and to evolve the tools very quickly as those teams' needs change.
The most useful tool ever
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is amazing. I'm in it every day. I start up the computer, open email and then Quickbase. I work with large amounts of data and Quickbase helps to keep it all organized. Creating reports is so easy. If there's a field, it can be used as a criterion in a report. The notifications have been a lifesaver for me. No more remembering when to send emails or how to word them. If you need a reminder to do something just set it up and forget about it, well, until it reminds you. The best part is Quickbase can be customized to meet your needs and you can do it yourself! Do you have a project to set up or data to analyze? There's an app for that, in Quickbase.
What do you dislike about the product?
One small, minor thing, whenever I do grid edit on multiple pages, every time I save my work, it takes me back to the first page and then I have to page back to where I left off. Not a huge deal, but when you're editing 10, 15 or 20 pages of data, it's a bit time consuming and annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamline workflows and share data within departments. Among other things, we use Quickbase as our ticketing system. It has increased 'customer' satisfaction by keeping them informed of progress on their issues. We've set up prompts to remind us to review tickets on a regular basis to ensure none are overlooked.
Quickbase | All-In-One Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase keeps it simple on the frontend but is very powerful in the backend. You can create custom apps to fit your needs and share those apps with different roles in your company. Your imagination and building skills are the only limit what you can build!
What do you dislike about the product?
App management can become complex once you build out a robust app. Also, you may build out apps in a way that makes sense initially but causes issues later on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase allows us to run our business in one spot without using disparate programs and software. It also helps that all the data is in one place, so we have one source of truth available to all.
Develop, deploy, and iterate
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to create, revise, update an app structure quickly. It's a highly versatile platform that has great customer support and I like that Quickbase invests in continuous improvement and I look forward to seeing what comes next.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main donwside that I have experienced would be the lack of customization of the user interface. That has an upside though because Quickbase has invested in the UI and is launching new solutions based on customer feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase is a great platform to bring data together from various sources. You can build apps from scratch, uploaded spreadsheets, or even from a relationship diagram in Lucid Chart.
Quickbase is a versatile platform for handling many business functions
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase makes it quick and easy to develop many different types of applications, from full-blown project management apps to simple apps to compile data and view reports. You can use no code or a lot of code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downsides are really the ones you create as an administrator.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently have around 60 Quickbase applications, which has helped us solve many things as a company. From project management workflows for construction and network projects to simple data entry forms to collect data.
Good platform for analytical minds who don't know coding languages
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is useful for meeting a variety of business data & technology needs, even if you don't know any particular coding language. The ability to create apps that centralize, standardize and connect data while having simple user interfaces has allowed our business to meet our growing demand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of the low/no code setup, there are many functions that seem like they should be simple, but require creative workarounds to accomplish.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major problem Quickbase is solving for my company is ease-of-access to important data. We previously had information stored in far too many disparate locations, including various apps and Excel files. Because of this, many people did not: 1) have access to data relevant to their job, 2) know where data was stored, or 3) know if the data they were using was accurate and up-to-date. Quickbase has allowed us to consolidate this information and connect it in a way that makes it accessible and accurate for all.
Quickbase Builder/Realm Admin with expertise in governance for healthcare organizations.
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase allows us to confidently put powerful tools in the hands of our operational owners. We have seen it transform how our teams work - from project management to comprehensive clinical data tracking and beyond.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still need better realm-wide visibility into integrations. Until we have it, we can't fully utilize Pipelines in the way it is intended. We're itching to put Pipelines into the hands of our operational owners, but until I can see everything that touches our apps at a realm level, we have it strictly limited to a very small group.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many necessary processes cannot be done in the legacy systems where the data lives. Bringing that data into Quickbase data hub apps via various integrations (Pipelines, Sync Tables, API Calls) allows our teams to do the work they need to do with the data while keeping the source of truth in the legacy system.
Quickbase has drastically changed our productivity in office.
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase has made our lives in the office side of our business so much easier by simplifying the tasks that we were previously done by hand. We have been able to cut back 6-8 hours of payroll processing time, as well as several hours in Excel doing manual calculations for our fuel data and profitability.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that it was simpler to create our own custom looks in Quickbase without having to get too much in to coding. If we were able to change the appearance around a bit more using internal Quickbase options, that would make things much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase helps us do things that we had no platform in which to do them before. Outside of Excel, we were still doing manual calculations for billings as well as time entry on our own. Quickbase has enabled us to get these tasks done much faster, allowing for that time to be spent on other important business tasks.
Business Empowerment
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and ability to customize every aspect.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be difficult to find a specific answer in the support resources - even if it is a basic issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use QuickBase to build Apps that both generate in-depth metrics for our business as well as to manage projects. These applications in turn provide us with the information we need to make management decisions and ensure the customer service we deliver is exceptional.
A total waste of time
What do you like best about the product?
Since I joined my current company, we've been using Quickbase (or QB as we call it) for our time-in and time-out. QB is an all-in-one tool that not only logs your time-in and time-out but also our coaching sessions and our leave requests. That is what I like the most about QB, you can do a lot with just one tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quickbasse has been an essential tool to our company. However, it is also irritating because if a huge number of people are using QB all at the same time to log their time-out, QB magically became inaccessible. It loads reaaaaaally slowly and it would sometimes log the wrong time on our log out. If you opened the site at say 5:57 am and clicked the end shift button at 6 o'clock, the time on your end shift would still be 5:57 am and not 6 o'clock. I am not sure why that is happening, but it's been happening since I joined my current company, and our IT team has been trying everything to work on this issue even before I joined the company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Probably having the log-ins, filing of coaching, and leave requests all at the same tool. With my previous jobs, log-in tools, coaching logs, and filing for leave requests would be done on separate tools, so having them all at the same tool is such a great help. On top of that, everyone can access theses stuff within QB, and that enables everyone to monitor the status of their leave requests.
