We performed a comparison between QuickBase and Salesforce Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"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)."
"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."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"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."
"Salesforce's strongest feature is reporting especially. It's also a lot more usable than other platforms I've worked with. It has a great user experience, with the ability to filter and access information in real-time."
"Salesforce is the best one out there."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"It was pretty easy to deploy."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"The solution can scale."
"We like that the technology is very agile and flexible in the sense that there's a large partner ecosystem within Salesforce Platform. This enables us to choose from many different partners with different advantages, and all of it can be done in a plug-and-play kind of way."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"The pricing of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement since, right now, I am not sure if Salesforce Platform has any plans for start-ups or small businesses."
"Salesforce Platform operates as a cloud system, and within our organization, numerous internal systems handle data processing. While real-time data retrieval is feasible through services, achieving real-time communication poses some challenges."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
"Salesforce needs to be re-platformed, or re-architected, making it lighter."
