Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."

More Knack Pros →

"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed).""The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency.""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.""Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment.""The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge.""This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data.""Allows users have anytime/anywhere access.""QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."

More QuickBase Pros →

Cons
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."

More Knack Cons →

"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising.""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.""The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."". 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.""The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items.""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.""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."
