Daniel Ream - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, user-driven platform, that is scalable
I would highly recommend working closely with QuickBase and taking advantage of their subcontractors who specialize in building QuickBase apps. QuickBase does a great job of connecting potential users with these subcontractors. However, I would also advise tempering expectations and being aware that building and customizing applications in QuickBase takes time. It is a user-driven platform, so it requires investment and effort to create meaningful solutions. I would rate QuickBase a ten out of ten. I believe that if implemented properly, QuickBase can provide immense value to any organization. It can be used for various purposes such as managing purchase orders, tracking change orders, and monitoring project metrics. By using QuickBase as a central hub, it becomes a reliable and trustworthy source for project-related information. This ability to consolidate and organize data makes it an invaluable tool. Moreover, any solution that helps transform information from individual knowledge into a structured database is undoubtedly a worthwhile investment.

Cons

"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"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 mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"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."
"When learning QuickBase, I noticed a shift in its cost structure. It operated on a cost-efficient model tied to the number of users, with invoicing based on applicants."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve.​"
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
"The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."
