Some good and some bad things.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to customize a database and having different options to how the database works is awesome!
I like the idea of the Office Hours however, I wish there were more opportunities/times available (instead of 1 hour each day).
There are ways to create custom roles for internal and external users; this helps keep certain data/internal processes private.

What do you dislike about the product?
They force changes on the users (e.g. the Sidebar Navigation versus Top Navigation); changes in how some of the reporting graphs are (e.g. the total change from a gauge chart to a totally different circular design).
These changes without letting the end user decide what is best for them is not very customer friendly.
There should be more individualized trainings available, specific to what the business users needs are; I don't mind the general training/certification, but it's too generalized and doesn't always fit the actual training needed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm still waiting to hear about the graph issue I shared a several weeks ago.
The current graphs shorten long titled categories (on bar charts, pie charts, etc.). Yes, the new dashboard does fix this, which is great. However, the new dashboard gets rid of the current gauge charts and replaces them with some circular design.
I wouldn't mind switching to the new dashboard if we can keep using the current gauge charts. OR, fix the issue with the long titled categories having "..." on the charts on the current dashboard.

Quickbase - All in one solution for your organization (Like IFS and Salesforce CRM)
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity at it's peak. Quickbase API documentation is really helping everyone of us everyday.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instead of Field ID's or Table ID's in API call, if we can get Table Name and Field Names with Field ID's and Table ID's will help us recognize each table and field in less time. For this we are maintaning seperate mapping sheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to store our satellite data and also using it for storing and managing Employees data everyday.
Quickbase deployment in small business setting
What do you like best about the product?
The biggest benefits for our organization have been the relability and speed of working with large data sets. It is easy to create most simple apps and connect data in relatively simple ways. When we have more complex requirements it can be more difficult, especially for users with no coding experience. Our team uses Quickbase daily for a number of different work tasks. Implementation went smoothly with native support for a salesforce connection which helped us automatically refresh data from a key client.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support is lacking severly. Self serve options are to search forums which often have outdated information which can send you down a rabbit hole that doesnt even solve the issue at hand. Support has been decent over email or phone, but can take considerable time and is totally hands off in an attempt to drive sales for enablement services. We were afforded an hour of enablement through our customer success manager to build a simple Google Sheet pipeline, but after the builder couldn't figure it out we were simply delegated to regular support to resolve the issue which didn't provide any confidence in the value of paid enablement services. We are in our 3rd year with Quickbase are reviewing other options as we are not confident we are receiving the most value out for the premium price of the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase is helping us keep our improtant data safe, private and easy to work without us having to worry about cloud infrastructure and data backups. It provides easy, customaizable ways (forms) for our teams to interact with our data and report on it.
Great for many use cases - could run more smoothly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that my team members that aren't famliar with operating databases are able to easily use custom dashboards and create reports. The similarities to industry standard tools like Microsoft Excel make it easy for non-technical experts to get the information they need.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems that the team is falling into the all-too-common trap of adding AI enabled bells and whistles while some of its basic features fall short. I very basic problem that I CONSISTENTLY have is form fields not pulling information from related tables seamlessly. The automations are also a bit clunky and the UI could be more intuitive. I would suggest prioritizing regression testing and makings existing features better rather than adding features that have fewer use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
QB enables us to to connect data structures easily so that we can compartmentalize information proactively for donor reporting.
Our company contracted with QB to write a project management application for project management.
What do you like best about the product?
QB speeds up the tracking process and improved time management.
What do you dislike about the product?
getting all of our components in the platform to link.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
time management and data integrity control
good mix of user friendly and robust
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is very adaptable and flexible for multiple use cases
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see more built-in functionality for ease of implementation vs having to build everything from scratch. For example, would love to see built-in functionality around identifying, preventing, and merging duplicates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking and sharing data on our programming and outcomes
Such a lifesaver
What do you like best about the product?
I use spreadsheets alot. This has helped me with my day to day with work and personal. Its easy and if you need assistance, they are there to help. I've never been too good with spreadsheets but this has made things a little more enjoyable and relaxed.
What do you dislike about the product?
This was my first time using the program. I havent dibbled and dabbled in eveything yet but the only thing i could say challenging is navigation of the program. You can get lost lol but its not too much of a "bad" thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease of applying and extracting information in a swift.
Quickbase is an effective no code database that is transforming our ability to track our data
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Quickbase since 2006 and it is a great product. Underneath the hood it is a true relational database but it presents a very user friendly interface to non-technical users. I have created 100s of QB apps over the years and the majority of them I started myself from a spreadsheet or from scratch and then handed it off to a non technical user to continue to build. Unlike other supposedly no or low code systems, it really makes it very easy to create data tracking tools very quickly. It address that gap between excel and a custom development project for use cases which are too complicated for the former and too niche to make the latter cost effective. It also gives the ability to create a completely custom html/javascript interface from scratch if necessary. Finally, it is very cost effective and much cheaper than competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The quickbase interface leaves something to be desired. It has too much whitespace which sometimes makes it hard to navigate and is a little clunky. However the fact that you can code a completely custom HTML interface from scratch within the app somewhat makes up for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickbase is an ideal tool for situations where you need to track and report on data but it is getting too complicated for what you can do with excel and it is too niche a use case for an off the shelf tool or custom development project. We have used it for client tracking, project tracking, help desk ticket tracking, centralizing client data, grants management, data collection, etc. Anything where you are tracking data rather than milestones. While you can use to to do project management etc, there are more dedicated tools for that like monday.com etc.
Game changer.
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase cmprehensively met a need for us 15 years ago that we couldn't find in an off-the-shelf product - and we tried a number of them!
I am a social worker by training and was clueless about databases - but I was able to create our first Quickbase application with minimal assistance only with the more technical aspects.
We use Quickbase all day long, as do our partners in another country. Data entry, upload, reporting, and collaboration with partners are seamless. It's been tried and true for us!

What do you dislike about the product?
Can't think of anything I dislike about Quickbase!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In 2009, when we found Quickbase, there weren't good database options available for Tour Operators. With one product we had to use the "Smoking No" and "Smoking Yes" boxes to indicate something else entirely. Another was doing regular back ups but oops not of the folder that our data was stored in. Another told us "just because you can enter it doesn't mean you can pull the information into a report". So having the ability to customize from the ground up a database that is specific to us and our operations was a game changer.
We have always been a remote work environment and needed a data management solution that was accessible to people in different areas. With Quickbase our colleagues, whether across the room or down in Costa Rica have real time access to any new or updated information.

Easy to use, but expensive yearly cost

Files are clear and easy to update. Easy and quickness of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once QB set up can't delete sections no longer needed.
Cost of QB is dislike for small business like ours.
