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.
If somebody wanted to use QuickBase, and they'd ask me for an opinion, I would tell them that it depends on how big their company is because QuickBase is something that I think large companies should be aware of and have. If you have a smaller company, it is very easy for QuickBase to be overwhelming, and you really can't use it the way it should be used. I think, also, it depends on how many teams there are in a company. We have teams that are out in the field doing polls, and then there are some teams taking care of the IT part of it. So this really centers all of us together. In general, I think it would just depend on how many employees they have to see if this really could work for them. There are some days that it does lag. At times, I need to get certain information as a project analyst, and I'm able to track down the different employees and send certain information while having to maintain up-to-date information, which is really important. So I think those are just big factors for the rating it gets from me. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
My advice to anyone looking to implement this product is to just sit down with customers and map out the process and the strategy, not only for the short term but also for the long term. From there, they should do a gap analysis in terms of where they are and where they are trying to go. It can definitely get them where they need to be. That's a part of working with a solution like this. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

My advice for companies who are implementing this solution is if they want to improve the efficiency in the process, the workflows, and the knowledge base, then keep the data centralized and share it. QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support. That said, you always have to make time to improve. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
