Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase
Quickbase is used as the primary engine to drive operations and workflow for our program. We provide services to hundreds of prospective entrepreneurs each year. We use Quickbase for:
- maintaining our master contact list
- master calendar tracking scheduling of all meetings, participants and activities
- track enrollment and membership
- track participation and relationships
We also utilize Quickbase as the authoritative data source to manage logins to a private server using an external web service that queries QuickBase. Using the same technique we are able to generate reports and views of selected data on a real-time basis to appear on a web app for guests who do not have QuickBase access.
Pros
- Fast - access to records is snappy
- Ability to customize for each role and user
Cons
- More tools for integration with email, especially with Outlook and Gmail
- Ability to generate calendars compatible with both iCal and Outlook allowing automated access to pull entries
- Would also be excellent to allow two-way synchronization, using something like Outlook to manage the calendar - but would need to set record editing privileges by user
- Ability to integrate with Dropbox to point to files without requiring uploading additional copies
