Application Developer Manager at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
Helpful dashboard, supports offline capabilities for SAP, professional support, and a simple pricing model
I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment. We have people going through all of their shifts without connectivity, yet it automatically later synchronizes well with SAP, without creating extra documents or anything like that. The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us. I love how easy it is to manage the design of the process using drag and drop. I know they are working to make the developer experience even better, and I'm very excited about it. The modernizer element that converts existing ABAP business logic to the cloud-native mobile-friendly solution is a very powerful tool that I haven't seen in the market.

Automation has transformed project and inventory workflows and improves revenue forecasting
The best features QuickBase offers include being a no-code software, meaning it is very easy to use even for new users. It also provides life cycle management, workflow management, and dashboards. The dashboards and workflow management help my team significantly, as they have a drag-and-drop interface and prebuilt templates, which play a pivotal role in creating custom applications. Those features also help provide the ability to manage the entire application life cycle with QuickBase easily. Integration has been very seamless with our overall IT stack. The user interface is very user-friendly and intuitive, which makes it very easy to use, together with the no-code aspect. Any kind of personnel can use this tool easily.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since you only pay for active users, and since it gives you an immediate improvement in efficiencies, the ROI is very quick."
"I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment."
"I love how they took the MIT Scratch concept and implemented it into the in-app backend. It makes the app creation so much more intuitive and easy to use."
"The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us."
"If you have to manage a lot of data or organize a user database, this app is the best choice."
"Quickbase is a powerhouse, with unlimited possibilities and versatility for use."
"The product is easy to use."
"It has increased productivity by reducing the number of human assets to complete and manage tasks and workflows."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"Configuration and setup are so much more intuitive and powerful, without the many limitations that come with Salesforce."
"Customer Service: Excellent customer service, I always get a quick answer."
"QuickBase is the only product where I can translate the manner in which our company does business into a software solution(s)."
 

Cons

"While we're not in a place of letting LOB analysts build apps, at some point, we may want to give them a bit more freedom - as long as we can limit their ability to harm the ERP data. I would like to see more tools pertaining to this area."
"The modernizer element should convert a higher percentage of the ABAP code, moving it from approximately 75%, closer to 100%."
"Technical support is OK. However, it is much better to work with qualified service personnel who understand your specific implementations and process goals."
"There were only a few users who knew how to create the different modules or integrate them, so I think an easy-to-understand training program would help in more adoption of QuickBase."
"Not everything is perfectly intuitive and some features require you to write some code and/or formulas (for example, setting up recurring tasks or appointments, or color-coding fields based on their values)."
"A few times, the system has seen a traffic jam and very rarely does it go down, but it has had some hiccups this year with our systems being down a whole afternoon."
"Mobile experience isn't great, but there is a new version that is supposed to be coming out at some point in the next year."
"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."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"I do not know if QuickBase has these capabilities because I only participated in building out the flow, the form, and the process flow, but it would be helpful, as someone who would manage the form and the process flow, to build out charts or live dashboards or something similar so people can get information right there of how many requests are submitted and how many are pending to be approved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is straightforward consumption based on the number of end-users."
"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 product is cheap when compared to other products."
"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."
"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 pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
