"The product is easy to use.""It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments.""QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support.""I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy.""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.""Allows users have anytime/anywhere access.""We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared.""This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."

Cons
"They should provide its integration with other AI applications.""Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality.""When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly.""From the Domino side, it should support DKIM and DMARC.""HCL Domino could improve by having integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft 365.""HCL Domino could have a better interface.""The product's user interface is one of its shortcomings since it is outdated, making it an area for improvement.""HCL Domino needs to be more user-friendly."

More HCL Domino Cons →

"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve.​""Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."". 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.""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.""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.""I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen.""The dashboard is not organized.""Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
