The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive

Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

Its extensive scope allows multiple users with diverse professional backgrounds to engage on a single platform

When learning QuickBase, I noticed a shift in its cost structure. It operated on a cost-efficient model tied to the number of users, with invoicing based on applicants. The recent changes have increased costs based on user activity, such as viewing reports or interacting with specific fields. This shift makes QuickBase more expensive to use as activity increases. Lowering these costs could potentially broaden QuickBase's user base, similar to how Microsoft PowerApps operates. The visualization in QuickBase could be enhanced. Due to cost and usage efficiency concerns, our utilization of QuickBase is limited within our company. A few individuals are currently utilizing QuickBase. We need to consider the cost-to-usage ratio and prioritize increasing adoption.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the back end."

"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."

"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."

"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."

"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."

"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline."

"One of the valuable features of Quick Base is its ability to function as a content management system without the need for SQL."

"The product is easy to use."

"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."

More QuickBase pros

Cons

"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."

"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."

"I would like to see full integration with AI."

"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."

"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."

"I would like the product to add more working processes."

"The dashboard is not organized."

"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."

". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."

"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."

"The user interface of Quick Base is complex. It can be difficult to navigate, and ideally, it should be simplified to facilitate use by anyone, not just certified individuals."

More QuickBase cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."

"The product is cheap when compared to other products."

"The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."

"Quickbase is probably not the cheapest app out there. That said, it is worth its weight in gold. There is no other app that I know of in the market today that can do what Quickbase does."

"The solution is expensive and geared toward enterprise-level clients."

"The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."

"You have to negotiate the price because it varies based on the number of users you have, as well as how much cloud storage space you need."

"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."

"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
