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

"QuickBase has allowed us to easily categorize these employees, workgroups, and work locations into separate tables and then relate them to one another for comprehensive reports."
"The ability to put together a basic application in a just a few hours, so you can start using it within days and then easily make additions and adjustments on the fly."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"If you have to manage a lot of data or organize a user database, this app is the best choice."
"One of the valuable features of Quick Base is its ability to function as a content management system without the need for SQL."
"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)."
"Setup is extremely easy; you can have a functional app in place in minutes thanks to their prebuilt apps, and from there, you can customize the app as needed to fit your needs."
"QuickBase allowed us to rapidly build and deploy applications to automate and streamline our organization’s functional activities, and the tool allows me to manage my business by navigating through my dashboards, providing real-time analytics."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The product needs improvement on the performance side especially when the data tends to grow more than 2000 records in a table."
"Improve mobile app and increase branding/white-labeling."
"Unavailability of the support site in case of issues or site down leads to a bad user experience; this has happened recently which added to distrust."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"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)."
"We did not have enough time because of ongoing projects to devote to the development/setup."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
