Great software to build on your own

Nothing really. I wish there were more resources to get more experience.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reliable, user-driven platform, that is scalable
What is our primary use case?
The goal of the project I was responsible for was to implement it across our entire construction organization as an ERP platform. It aimed to provide a centralized solution for managing all our projects.
What is most valuable?
The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product.
However, if too many individuals are involved in the app's development and the workflows become overly complex, it can make the platform more challenging to use.
What needs improvement?
It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities.
By providing better tools and features for integrating with cloud storage platforms, QuickBase can further streamline workflows and improve the overall user experience.
One feature that I would suggest adding is seamless integration with cloud storage platforms.
For how long have I used the solution?
I am not currently using QuickBase, but in my previous role at my former company, I served as the designated champion for the product. I was both a builder and a user, actively involved for approximately a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I found the stability of the system to be excellent. I didn't encounter any significant issues or problems that stood out to me.
I would rate the stability as a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
QuickBase is a very scalable product.
How are customer service and support?
I worked with a subcontractor from QuickBase on a daily basis throughout the application development process to address any challenges that arose.
How was the initial setup?
The usability of QuickBase can vary depending on an individual's technical acumen.
With proper customization and tailoring, it is possible to create a simple and user-friendly experience.
However, it is important to note that the success of the implementation ultimately relies on the care taken during the setup and configuration process.
If attention is not given to properly implementing the product and ensuring data quality, usability may suffer, making it more challenging to use effectively.
What about the implementation team?
I am aware of instances where the deployment of QuickBase was completed relatively quickly, within a span of three to four months.
However, it's important to note that individual experiences may vary. In your case, where you worked on the deployment for almost a year, it seems that the implementation process was more complex and faced challenges due to additional ideas and the need for rework.
What was our ROI?
In my opinion, I would say no. The reason is that the QuickBase platform was never fully deployed in our organization.
Additionally, there may be challenges in terms of pushing adoption within the organization, as some individuals may resist using it.
This is particularly relevant because the purpose of the program was not only to track projects but also to monitor project metrics.
Some people prefer to keep those metrics confidential rather than share them openly.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year.
As for data volume, there is a different pricing model once you reach a certain threshold in the software, which I believe is approximately $6,000 USD per year.
Please note that pricing details may vary, and it's advisable to verify the current pricing structure with QuickBase directly.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We had the opportunity to collaborate with other companies across the United States that were using QuickBase, and they expressed high satisfaction with the software.
In particular, a joint venture we were involved in with a large electric contractor successfully used QuickBase and achieved positive outcomes.
This positive feedback and success stories from other organizations influenced our decision to choose QuickBase as well.
I believe it would be beneficial to explore at least two other alternatives in the market to ensure that you have thoroughly researched and considered all available options.
Conducting a comprehensive evaluation of multiple solutions will provide you with a broader perspective and enable you to make an informed decision based on your specific needs and requirements. It's always a good practice to explore different options before finalizing your choice.
I believe QuickbBase is a great product, but there are other alternatives available in the market that offer similar features.
These alternatives might be more cost-effective, especially for smaller to mid-sized businesses. With QuickBase, you not only have the initial expense of nearly twenty thousand dollars but also the ongoing costs of development and maintenance.
This requires time, financial resources, and manpower. Exploring other options with a more approachable price point could be beneficial for organizations looking to optimize their expenses.
What other advice do I have?
I would highly recommend working closely with QuickBase and taking advantage of their subcontractors who specialize in building QuickBase apps.
QuickBase does a great job of connecting potential users with these subcontractors.
However, I would also advise tempering expectations and being aware that building and customizing applications in QuickBase takes time.
It is a user-driven platform, so it requires investment and effort to create meaningful solutions.
I would rate QuickBase a ten out of ten.
I believe that if implemented properly, QuickBase can provide immense value to any organization.
It can be used for various purposes such as managing purchase orders, tracking change orders, and monitoring project metrics.
By using QuickBase as a central hub, it becomes a reliable and trustworthy source for project-related information.
This ability to consolidate and organize data makes it an invaluable tool. Moreover, any solution that helps transform information from individual knowledge into a structured database is undoubtedly a worthwhile investment.
Low Code with a Quick-turn Speed to Market
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create anything with flexibility and automation.
Builders do not need to have experience in coding and can easily create applications that can save time and money with multi-levels of automation available.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pipelines still need some work to make them move user-friendly for application builders who come from the business and not from the technology world. Automations are much easier to piece together and are, sometimes, all that is needed to simplify a workflow for end-users.

i lke all the assistance that thesoftware provides
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was very helpful to build a database for the control of gauges in the metrology lab
Very beginner-friendly but lacks advanced capabilities & has ridiculously BAD storage limits
What do you like best about the product?
When I first starting building in QB, I was a beginner. The platform is very friendly for basic applications without advanced needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
SIZE AND API LIMITS!!!! We are looking to change CRMs currently due to the fact that they have an arbitrary limit of 500GB per table. You can't even buy more storage after that, which is absolutely crazy. I would happily buy more storage. But after you hit that mark - it just stops accepting new records & blocks you. The only option is to delete older records, delete fields, or entirely restructure your CRM. But by the time it gets to that size, you can imagine how huge of an undertaking restructuring is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was a good place to store all of our internal records & we love that it is cloud-based.
Quickbase
