I started learning about QuickBase, its features, functionalities, and the automation that can be performed within the platform. QuickBase is a low-code platform. You don't need to write extensive code. Instead, you can use drag-and-drop functionalities to build applications. Additionally, QuickBase allows integration with third-party tools. While you may occasionally need to use HTML or other coding languages for more advanced customization or UI enhancements, it offers a no-code or low-code solution. QuickBase offers basic customization options, primarily focused on creating home pages and basic reports for end users. While it provides some visualization capabilities like dashboards, it may not match the dynamic features of tools like Power BI. Clients interested in more advanced visualizations often integrate QuickBase with Power BI, utilizing the data from QuickBase for dynamic visualizations within Power BI. This integration allows users to leverage the strengths of both platforms, enhancing the overall user experience. We have integrated with DocuSign, helping individuals who can't physically sign documents or need to obtain signatures, which can be automated. Once PDF attachments are uploaded and integrated with DocuSign, they are automatically sent to the relevant person for signing. Additionally, we have integrated with Power BI, SharePoint, and Teams. QuickBase offers numerous integration possibilities. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
The impact of QuickBase's integration capabilities with other tools has been positive. I've successfully integrated it with two to three business applications, and the experience has been quite good. The seamless integration with different applications effectively enhances the in-house features. It is a more modular version of Excel, particularly beneficial for projects requiring collaboration across multiple locations. However, Excel remains a suitable option for teams situated in one location. Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use QuickBase for the first time. The instructions, manuals, and videos provided within the tool are exceptional for learning how to use it. After viewing the videos, users can easily build applications with various features. I rate it as an eight. There's still room for improvement in the UI. Nevertheless, it is a useful tool. Sometimes, I notice a lag in the software during business hours due to the high volume of data being circulated. It needs to perform optimally. The feature to export data in a required format also has limitations, especially regarding the number of records that can be exported.
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.
If somebody wanted to use QuickBase, and they'd ask me for an opinion, I would tell them that it depends on how big their company is because QuickBase is something that I think large companies should be aware of and have. If you have a smaller company, it is very easy for QuickBase to be overwhelming, and you really can't use it the way it should be used. I think, also, it depends on how many teams there are in a company. We have teams that are out in the field doing polls, and then there are some teams taking care of the IT part of it. So this really centers all of us together. In general, I think it would just depend on how many employees they have to see if this really could work for them. There are some days that it does lag. At times, I need to get certain information as a project analyst, and I'm able to track down the different employees and send certain information while having to maintain up-to-date information, which is really important. So I think those are just big factors for the rating it gets from me. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

My advice to anyone looking to implement this product is to just sit down with customers and map out the process and the strategy, not only for the short term but also for the long term. From there, they should do a gap analysis in terms of where they are and where they are trying to go. It can definitely get them where they need to be. That's a part of working with a solution like this. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support. That said, you always have to make time to improve. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
