Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we are using QuickBase in the Wind technology of my company. We use it as a workflow to assign purchase requests to users, to provide users with updates or additional information in a transparent way so that the whole team is on the same page, and now we are starting to look at the reporting capabilities.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Allows users to communicate in a transparent fashion without getting lost in emails
Allows users to decide what types of reports would prove useful from the information input in Quick Base
Can be customized based on user's company or departmental need

Cons

I wish there were tutorials or chat sessions available on how to set up templates or rules for the app the user is creating. This can be confusing at times when trying to make changes.

Likelihood to Recommend

This system works well when trying to keep multiple people in one department up to date with information regarding a project. It's also very helpful if you often need to create tables representing information that is being entered in your app. It is also helpful that you can store attachments without having to send large files via email. The app may not work well if you are trying to gauge how long it takes to complete a request where it may be put on hold for a period of time.
