QuickBase Reviews

I use Quick Base for management purposes. It functions as a content management system that does not require SQL. It allows me to store data, publish pages, and operates as a single-point solution for a no-code, low-code platform. 

One of my projects involved creating applications for patients, where forms and pages can be created using different languages like React, with data stored in Quick Base.

One of the valuable features of Quick Base is its ability to function as a content management system without the need for SQL. It allows for storing data, publishing pages, and is a no-code, low-code platform. 

I used it for patient applications, with forms and pages created in different languages such as React. I can view everything in one place on the Quick Base site. This provides a unified solution without needing different databases or pipelines.

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.

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.

QuickBase is very easy to learn. Its extensive scope allows multiple users with diverse professional backgrounds to engage on a single platform. Users can access QuickBase and customize their views according to their specific needs. In both scenarios, they can access a shared data source or database, enabling seamless integration with other applications or tools. This versatility makes QuickBase a valuable tool for various industries, including pharmaceuticals, where performance and data accuracy are critical factors.

The most valuable feature of QuickBase is its dynamic form capabilities. These forms allow backend automation, making tasks like updating data based on specific conditions much easier. This automation, implemented using Python scripts, streamlines processes and increases efficiency. Users can focus on providing input by reducing manual intervention.

It essentially works as a ticketing system, and it serves as a useful tool for our large team. It allows us to efficiently monitor task assignments and the different stages of our work with assigned clients. It ensures that everyone on the team has visibility into which clients we are responsible for and the specific stage of progress.

I appreciate the efficiency and organization capabilities of the system and the structured approach it offers for managing multiple individuals working on various books. It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect.

As a project analyst, I used QuickBase. I used it for project management as well as for HR management. So, we would use it for getting projects sent out to other coworkers so they were aware of what timelines we needed to hit. It also kept things organized, so there was no need for spreadsheets. It removed tedious and manual tasks while connecting the members together over a cloud so that it was easier to collaborate on whatever projects we had. We also used it for management in terms of IT-related stuff, so we had an easier time streamlining the different ticket processing and handling times. It allowed us to get the request sent in easier for different teams throughout the country as well as teams that were out in the field.

I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait. We get automatic updates. There have been very few times that we haven't got that. It allows us to be able to send accurate information so that we can move forward in different projects whenever required.

QuickBase is unique in the PaaS space as it offers a structured development environment with built-in multi-level security, database, forms, reports and API. It's designed as a no-download, zero-hardware, multi-user PaaS solution best suited to medium and large businesses with granular security requirements (requiring application, departmental, role, and task level security) with geographically-distributed user bases. It is structured enough to provide a rock-solid standardized development & security environment, but flexible enough to provide the developer room to accomplish almost anything imaginable including using external APIs. For us, security is absolutely critical, and QuickBase's security model is uniquely robust. We know because we audit their security.

I believe in 2016 QuickBase will emerge as a leader in the no/low-code space primarily due to four key characteristics. To begin with, QuickBase offers a consolidated development paradigm - database, security, forms, reports, and code base (API) all wrapped up in a single no-hardware platform/UX. The second is robust security. QuickBase offers the most integrated, reliable, and flexible security model (realm, group, app, role, table, form, field) of any PaaS tool I've seen. Third, QuickBase presents a very low adoption barrier. From a citizen developer viewpoint, most anyone with a basic understanding of Excel can create a simple, multi-user, distributed enterprise app in QuickBase in hours. Lastly, QuickBase provides developers and experienced users the ability to create extremely complex, ultra secure, reliable, and scalable (100s of concurrent users) distributed enterprise applications. In addition, the QuickBase API provides quick and easy connectivity to legacy applications (often in only minutes), and allows dead simple microservices integration.

Our organization maintains a catalog of more than 35 custom QuickBase applications which produce for us a completely paperless environment. From ERP, to HR, to Electronic Work papers - everything we touch is in QuickBase.

QuickBase powers our entire organization. If we do it, it's in QuickBase. We have scaled from fewer than 70 employees to more than 150, and 7 business lines to double that - in the space of a year. QuickBase has allowed us to adjust our business model real-time to leverage market opportunities and growth.

Our primary use case for QuickBase is data management and report generation tailored to our client's specific formatting needs.

Our clients greatly appreciate the reporting feature, which allows them to view data. This capability enables them to analyze information according to their specific business requirements.

For us, it's very helpful for low-code development. Different leaders and employees are able to go in and create their own apps and connect their work activities. It has been really helpful for that. We don't have to constantly go out into the software for developing a new solution or workflow. It gives the employees a little bit more freedom to own the work that they're doing.

It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us.
