Featured Reviews

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.

Daniel Ream - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, user-driven platform, that is scalable
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.

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 has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"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."
"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."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"Technical support is really good, and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...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."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"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."
More QuickBase pros
 

Cons

"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"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."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"The user interface of Quick Base is complex."
"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."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product is cheap when compared to other products."
"The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."
"The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
"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."
"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."
