Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase
QuickBase is used across our whole organization as well as with vendors. The tool allows us to provide simple solutions across multiple areas for workflow, dynamic "single source of truth" information transparency and consolidates/augments information from other applications reducing duplication and inconsistency.
Pros
- Quickbase is easier, and cheaper than other database tools to set up and it provides a very nice interface for your end users/customers to navigate. Almost no skills are necessary and what skills you might need for a simple application are easily acquired. Within minutes you can have a tool that is accessible via desktop/mobile device that is dynamic and not at risk for being "old" which is always a problem with email and spreadsheets.
- The Quickbase Community of users is the best I've seen. Submitting questions could not be easier, answers are provided typically within a day, and the solutions offered are spot on. Quickbase support tools are excellent and provide several examples in which to leverage when developing your application.
- Inter-application connectivity that allows areas to customize and maintain their own spaces but share with others is really easy using APIs. Let's face it, no "out of the box" application does it all. So what our company does, typically, is a host of gymnastics to download, add, manipulate, save, and distribute information on spreadsheets which is immediately outdated. Then we spend a lot of time managing the "swirl" of ineffective communications.
Cons
- Asking for more is always a balancing act when a tool's greatest strength is "easy and quick." I would like to have more ability to customize forms for data input.
- Although our industry is driving toward a "paperless" environment, being able to download reports is still important. The Exact Form process to develop reports is difficult and not easily achieved when combining figures and tables from multiple tables.
Mostly on par with all other tools but quick, easy, financially accessible to smaller businesses, and mobile.
