QuickBase Reviews

In our business many of our folks work in the field. We created a killer timecards application to manage project labor cost. We process 300 timecards a week and upload them into Intuit QuickBooks and process payroll with Intuit Payroll Services.

Our Human Resources app manages personnel and benefits data allowing us to reconcile benefits providers' invoices and the company's costs of benefits.

In the Construction business, we recognize revenue and cost using the Percentage of Completion accounting method. I wrote a QuickBase app to do Work In Process calculations.

These apps and others I have created increase our productivity and allow us to manage our back office with with just a few employees.

None at all because you can take one workflow challenge at a time and create a more efficient and productive solution at your own pace.

Never.

QuickBase is the most easily scalable software product I have encountered in my 30 years of software solution implementations.

Superior.

Superior.

We graduated from spreadsheets and MSAccess. We switched because we needed a web based solution.

Easy because you do not have to drop entire software product on your employees all at once.

I developed all the applications for our company.

ROI is a more productive back office team where QuickBase is the first choice solution vs. human beings.

QuickBase is the only product where I can translate the manner in which our company does business into a software solution(s). I have yet to find a workflow challenge or unique project requirement that I cannot satisfy with QuickBase.

Reports are easy and Quickbase gives you what you need at your fingertips.

Billing use to be a lot of papers from different tech's and now it is all done in Quickbase with no paper whatsoever. Tickets are entered and read the same day not at the end of the month now.

Formulas look like Greek. I need to learn and it just looks so complicated.

4 months using Quickbase.

No issues with deployment it was easy to transition into.

We have had no stability issue's yet.

Quickbase system has the ability to process our tickets no matter how many we use a month. It works great with a few or we have gotten up to 200 tickets a month so far no problems. Love the speed and flexibility of this program.

Customer Service is A+ and they help any where you need them with a friendly and knowledgeable attitude. I love the info videos.

A+

We used paper reports and ticket logs. It was very time consuming. Now NO paper work and it has cut our time in half.

A vendor team set up our system and I am learning to tweak it here and there.

They were very helpful and did everything we ask them to do.

Yes my boss looked at a few programs. I do not know which though.

Configuration and setup are so much more intuitive and powerful, without the many limitations that come with Salesforce.

We can now get complex reports natively in QuickBase, whereas with Salesforce we needed to revert to Microsoft Access for many of our reporting needs.

Validation rules should get handled at the database level, not the form level. There is too much risk in having integrity issues with the database when records can be updated through importing, the API or in grid edit mode and not need to pass the validations which only work through dynamic form rules. Also, we need more built-in control over cascade deletions of child and grandchild records when a parent record is deleted, and also the ability to prevent parent record deletion when children are related.

QuickBase is too stingy with its application storage.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Good so far, haven't had to use much.

Excellent

We have been on Salesforce.com for the last 7 years, but it isn't as good a fit for a small business like ours. Too many limitations, too much programming overhead and complexity with Apex, unit tests, etc.

Straightforward

Doing it myself with the help of Data Collaborative. They have been extremely helpful.

I systematically looked at over 225 other cloud database and project management platforms before deciding that QuickBase was the best fit for our needs.

One of the best things about Quickbase is how flexible it is. For the most part, if you can dream it, you can build it.

Instead of passing a spreadsheet around by e-mail, Quickbase has allowed us to have a single "source of the truth" that allows us to maintain data integrity without worrying about who has the latest version of which document.

Not everything is perfectly intuitive and some features require you to write some code and/or formulas (for example, setting up recurring tasks or appointment, or colorcoding fields based on their values)

Project Management tools and tracking

No technical issues.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

In-house

Great, easy to use product.

Dynamic form rules

Customization of email notifications based on any fired action of a field

We have migrated various spreadsheets into QuickBase, which has allowed multiple users to work on the same database at the same time and provided us with better tracking.

Allow for multiple languages.

There is only the capability of having 1 report per notification. We would like to be able to insert multiple reports into the one email notification to give a better overview.

None

Only issue is a challenge we have with employees resetting their passwords due to forgetting their security questions.

None

Customer service is great on the weekdays, but almost non-existent on the weekends. Our business is a 7 day a week operation, and sometimes support is delayed.

The level of technical support is high, but sometimes it takes a few iterations to get the answer you need do to canned responses in the beginning.

No

The initial setup was straightforward, and training the end users was very simple.

We implemented internally, but we leveraged Advantage QuickBase to help train the trainer on QuickBase development.

I'm not allowed to discuss the specifics, but the solution has been financially favorable versus other solutions.

Access to Professionals, who are more than happy to help.

Allows us to keep all our information in one place accessible no matter where we travel to, different locations etc.

I have not encountered any areas for improvement, when working with my apps a couple of times I have thought, hmm this could be changed or maybe this would be a good idea, but Intuit has already thought of this. If there is something, that has not been thought of I can submit it to the community and it could possibly be a future enhancement.

1 year and 2 months

None

There was one time where Quickbase was down, I called and let them know the issue I was having the let me know that it was not just me that it was affecting all QB users, then provided me with a website where I could view status updates while they were working on it. The issue started around 3:30pm and was up and running by the next business day, when I signed in.

None

102% excellent

Super awesome

We previously kept only hard copies of all our quotes, now we can share them with sales reps digitally, or grant them QB access. In addition with our further expansion into other territories we are able to share information seamlessly.

Easy enough. If I were in a situation where I wasn't as technically inclined, there is a great team ready to help.

Quickbase is a powerhouse, with unlimited possibilities and versatility for use.

Quickbase's fast setup and easy user management makes it a very versatile tool across all disciplines.

Used it for HRIS, applicant tracking, accounts payable/receiveable, and CRM.

A more robust mobile application.

More advanced features have a steeper learning curve for admins with less technical skill, but that's to be expected.
