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 of the solution stems from the fact that its workflows are really impressive."

"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."

"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."

"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."

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

"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."

"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."

"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."

"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."

More QuickBase pros

Cons

"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."

"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."

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

"The dashboard is not organized."

"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."

"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."

"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."

"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."

"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since I use Bubble Innovator to create applications for my company's clients, I feel the pricing part of the product is fair."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."
