Hans De Groot - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Bhavatha Ranjanni S - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"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."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"The user interface of Quick Base is complex."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
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 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."
"The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
"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 product is cheap when compared to other products."
"The solution is expensive and geared toward enterprise-level clients."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
