Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's used across our whole organisation for a variety of purposes, examples include keeping HR records, shift data, tool information and so on. We have approximately 50 or so applications which are accessed by a variety of our users, based on either projects they are working on or roles they have in the company. We have a lot of applications which are cross-linked too.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Very easy to create new applications, you can copy existing ones or build from scratch.
QB support is excellent - we always get quick responses to our queries and there are a lot of help articles online too which are very useful.
UI is very user friendly and quite intuitive.

Cons

UI is a bit old fashioned now, could do with a bit of an overhaul just to make it a bit more modern.

Alternatives Considered

zoho, Salesforce.com and JIRA Software

Price and ease of usability were a key factor in choosing QB. The data integration APIs were also key to us.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's very simple to set up new applications in QuickBase (QB). One scenario we use it for is for keeping shift data for our systems, we can easily customize our fields to suit our requirements and link tables together. Granting custom access to certain users is very simple, we can easily lock down areas we don't want them to view etc., or areas where they can only view and not edit.
