Quickbase helps deliver better systems faster
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you don't need a lot of standard programming resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the functionality around table relationships was more robust and the UI was more customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used QB for mostly spreadsheet and MS access driven process replacement and improvement. Because of the online nature and ease of data integration the tool has helped us recognize incredible time savings without high developer costs.
What I think of QuickBase
What do you like best about the product?
This software is a very easy and straight forward software to use. It is great for record keeping and data gathering. It cant be used a ticketing system if you are trying to track issues in your company. I am happy that you are able to access this software off site and also easy to use from a mobile device.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the search system. It is hard to look up a case without the case number. It is not impossible to locate the case but it is much harder than if you could use other details to help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps with managing cases and ticketing for ongoing issues and well as holds records for history purposes.
Advanced Beginner - really well done, flexible app builder

A few things -
Their "App Exchange" is an open resource of pre-formatted apps that can easily be customized for your needs. The company culture is all abourt working together and finding clever solutions to common issues - at an affordable price.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced needs are beyond my technical ability, but QBase has tons of resources to help you come up to speed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many - from employee onboarding to job tracking and asset mgmt. Efficiencies and standardization are the best benefits to date. Also - FINALLY have one collective - NON-PAPER - repository for all company info and data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very simple to begin slowly w an Exchange template and customize for your needs. Also recommend drawing out (literally) - the process and expectations for your finished app. Review your approach w business users - only THEN begin to build out tables, relationships and additional features. Don't expect the first version you build to be a finished product: We have found QBase works best in a state of constant improvement and tweeking as users submit their needs and desires. Also - their Community is great support tool, as well as their annual Conference.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
We use quick base specifically for accounting and budget keeping purposes. I love that everything is in one place - especially communication surrounding the budget. We use it to put our marketing tickets in so that they can be easily tracked and accounting can pay for them. Nothing gets lost. This program is accessible from any internet connection and does not require a download. You can upload an invoice directly with your budget ticket submission. It even allows you to communicate directly with accounting on the platform. It will send you notifications to your email to let you know when things have changed or if someone else has commented on a specific ticket.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think this is overall a great product. Unfortunately, it adds yet another product to our long list of products we use. We wish we could be able to stream line some, but this is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication in regards to budgeting. There are no longer lost emails of communicating budget needs, changes, and invoices. This definitely solves our issues in this regards. With so many products and so many people on our team, our accountant was struggling with keeping up with all the budget ticket requests. We were using emails to communicate and some times things were said in calls or meeting and were not recorded.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great way to stream line your budget. It allows your team to stay organized and everything budget related stays in one place.
Very useful, though has a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Highly customizable and relatively easy to use (versus setting up a database from scratch)
What do you dislike about the product?
There is quite the learning curve when setting up a new database and relationships between different areas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped us organize a lot of different things in our business.
Building apps for business on your own - yes you can!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been building and improving the same CRM system for years ... while it is being used ... without a developer, without having a sandbox account, without losing data. Someone (or me) wants something new or changed or updated, I can do it right away, on my own. You can do a lot without coding, and when you do, its pretty straight-forward stuff. Best is the ability to connect Quickbase to other apps in the cloud via APIs (and easily via Zapier), or data-slurping from CSVs ... then you can do Magic. Great flexibility to be the boss of your data, not the other way around.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quickbase apps are hard to share (no github type sharing), the 'app exchange' is a mish mash of stuff to get you started, but you'll quickly be customizing. If you want a canned app, this isn't for you ... the apps you will build can be continually be improved, it can start to be consuming (but everyone will consider you the hero).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've built a CRM application that follows the flow of our sales process. I can satisfy salespeople or management quickly with reports, changes, slick improvements. Now I can directly link their efforts with data from our ERP (via CSV sync), rather than forcing them to use it. Way better than going with Salesforce.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Choose if: 1. Your processes are data centered, but existing apps are limiting. Our product attributes vary so much, a standard product database would never do.
2. You have time to build, expand, and improve as you go along. Basic database needs can be met quickly with QB, but making it a true app takes time
3. You are prepared to be hands-on with the system. This is a feature, not a bug, for running a business app in the cloud in 2017. The good news is that it will make your job easier and less stressful in the long run.

Quickbase is easy to use, but has learning curve to master
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use or copy existing Quickbase and modify
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve to master the intricacies of database table management. Notifications cannot be customized for specific time (only days of week).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
share data

Useful for managing laboratory inventory
What do you like best about the product?
We use Quickbase for managing lab inventory of various items, and it has worked well. I like that you can link items from different tabs to easily click through and find the information about related items.
What do you dislike about the product?
Figuring out how to link the items across different tabs is sometimes a bit confusing. When you link things extra columns pop up in tabs you are linking to/from.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has allowed us to have an inventory of many different kinds of items that we use in our lab. It makes it easy to put clear descriptions of the items, while giving them an ID code on the tube where the item is stored. It makes it clear what an item is, how it was made, and what it can be used for.
A Solid Platform for Quick Solutions
What do you like best about the product?
QuickBase is a great way to get a solid solution without spending tons of money or time for custom development.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more flexibility around branding for individual apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We collect a lot of information from a mobile workforce. QuickBase allows us to collect this information from any device with an internet connection.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to learn how to develop within QuickBase. Assign someone familiar with databases to be the developer.
