Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."

More Knack Pros →

"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency.""The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge.""The product is easy to use.""It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us.""This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data.""It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect.""It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments.""It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."

More QuickBase Pros →

Cons
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."

More Knack Cons →

"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen.""The dashboard is not organized.""The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls.""The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items.""Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system.""I would like the product to add more working processes.""Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising.""Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
