Timothy Soares - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.
Daniel Ream - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, user-driven platform, that is scalable
I would highly recommend working closely with QuickBase and taking advantage of their subcontractors who specialize in building QuickBase apps. QuickBase does a great job of connecting potential users with these subcontractors. However, I would also advise tempering expectations and being aware that building and customizing applications in QuickBase takes time. It is a user-driven platform, so it requires investment and effort to create meaningful solutions. I would rate QuickBase a ten out of ten. I believe that if implemented properly, QuickBase can provide immense value to any organization. It can be used for various purposes such as managing purchase orders, tracking change orders, and monitoring project metrics. By using QuickBase as a central hub, it becomes a reliable and trustworthy source for project-related information. This ability to consolidate and organize data makes it an invaluable tool. Moreover, any solution that helps transform information from individual knowledge into a structured database is undoubtedly a worthwhile investment.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"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."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve.​"
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"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."

"The product is cheap when compared to other products."
