Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase
Quickbase has been the backbone on which our company has grown and developed. It started off as a simple CRM while also being our test platform for many developments. Currently, it serves as the CRM, product and project management system, resource manager, productivity manager and has been integrated with a large variety of applications, allowing us to sell not just a stand alone system but one that can communicate easily with mainstream systems out in the market today.
Pros
- Quickbase is exceptionally simple to set up as a standalone database. In a matter of hours, simple databases can be created or imported from the library and usage can begin almost immediately.
- Quicbase is extremely scalable and can easily be grown from a simple, 1 table application, to a massive system covering the entire company. As usage and need for the tool grows, or as the company grows, the tool will grow with you.
- Quickbase is accessible from almost anywhere providing realtime information on mobile and desktop devices without the need for specialized software or any sort of installation. Mobility is a key element in today's world and Quickbase definitely delivers. Being web-accessible your company will always be able to get to the information whenever it is needed, provided an internet connection is available.
Cons
- Programming on the platform still requires some complex JavaScrpt injections that require a professional. As much as this-- person will eventually be required, it is important to note that some functions could be "built in". Quickbase does evaluate needs and rolls out monthly improvements to the platform so at times functionality upgrades are just time constrained by development calendars.
- Chart creation could still be improved, as these are at times too "boxed in" to be useful. It is hard to generate some specific reports and the "wizard" used for reports creation will only allow so many options before it is too much for it to handle.
- Quickbase's Mobile platform is where the largest area for improvement currently stands. While is holds most functionalities the "Full Site" has, not all of them are present or fully functional. Quickbase should really dedicate some time to this platform as it is much quicker and easier to use on mobile than the full site and provides a very interesting expansion to app usability.
Quickbase I believe ranks first amongst its competitors because of its ease of use and flexibility. It is very simple and quick to modify data entry, formulas and almost all changes within the application. We selected Quickbase because it is the best mix between platform capabilities, client needs, and integration programming. They have enabled our customers to vastly improve their operations through better control systems and process improvement.
