Quickbase Reviews & Product Details

Quickbase is straightforward and easy to use, even for someone like me who is self-taught. I was able to build three apps before I even met with a trainer, and it has been a good tool for organizing and centralizing our processes. I like that it allows us to keep everything in one place instead of needing separate apps for communication, inventory, and other tasks. That is a big deal for us because we are a small but growing company, and we do not have the time or resources to juggle multiple systems. It is also flexible enough that I can tweak things as we grow or as our needs change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our biggest issue before Quickbase was communication. We run two shifts in our chemical manufacturing facility, and information wasn’t always getting passed down properly—things like equipment issues, inventory levels, or what stage a batch was in. We started with paper forms, but they were not cutting it. With Quickbase, we have been able to create apps that help us track and share this information more effectively. It has made communication between shifts a lot smoother, which is something everyone here appreciates.

Another benefit is having everything centralized. Before, we were using different tools for different tasks, and it was a hassle. Now, we can manage things like inventory and production tracking all in one place. It has also helped us keep up with our growth. When I started here, we had around eight employees; now we are at nearly 50. Quickbase has made it easier to scale without adding unnecessary complexity. That said, I am always looking for ways to improve what we have built. I am self-taught, so I know there are probably better ways to do some things. But even with that, Quickbase has been a solid solution for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase works for me because it’s simple to use and feels intuitive, especially since I’m not an IT guy—I’m an accountant. It’s similar to Excel in how I can visualize and build processes, which makes it easy for me to create what I need without needing a coder. I also like that it’s flexible. I can build something that fits exactly how we run our business, and if we need to tweak it, we can. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, which is important for us. Another thing I appreciate is how Quickbase lets us manage everything from the point of sale to the point of swinging a hammer. It handles commissions, task management, and ensures things are done the right way. That kind of control is key for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app could do with an update but other than that it's perfect for what we do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A reliable tool for sharing and visualizing data with controls is Quickbase. It works effectively as a tool for visualizing enormous data sets and as a data repository. Customer satisfaction has increased due to the process automation's reduction of errors and waiting times. I wholeheartedly recommend this fantastic tool. and customer support,integration of use these are most like features in this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is only one negative feeling about this product, All of the data will be gone if someone deletes a profile by mistake. While having a backup system that runs automatically would be convenient, during our testing and usage of the software, we were unable to find that option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to customize a database and having different options to how the database works is awesome!

I like the idea of the Office Hours however, I wish there were more opportunities/times available (instead of 1 hour each day).

There are ways to create custom roles for internal and external users; this helps keep certain data/internal processes private. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They force changes on the users (e.g. the Sidebar Navigation versus Top Navigation); changes in how some of the reporting graphs are (e.g. the total change from a gauge chart to a totally different circular design).

These changes without letting the end user decide what is best for them is not very customer friendly.

There should be more individualized trainings available, specific to what the business users needs are; I don't mind the general training/certification, but it's too generalized and doesn't always fit the actual training needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I was new on QuickBase, it was a little complicated for me but when I spent some time on it.

It is easier to access everything, I like the features of QuickBase like pipelines and action things.

While the Implementation of something, action is very useful and because of the pipeline, it got very easy to integrate some other platforms as well.

When we got any issue or something we reached out to customer support or help center where we resolved our issue.

And not I am a frequent user of Quickbase Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we have to update something in pipeline, it gets turned off.

While updating the live pipeline, it goes into draft mode instead of being turned off.

this will be very good for users.

New form. it takes time when we update some field on form and open any record Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company has used Quickbase for eight years. Originally set up by our VP of Operations, I was brought on two years later. I was able to learn everything about Quickbase on my own, through the University, and have created and maintained a dozen apps since then. Much more user friendly than early databases such as Oracle. I have also had some outstanding customer service and support from the teams at Quickbase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to customize some of the apps, fields, and reports, can sometimes be a little frustrating. Some of our users are not computer saavvy, we are in the construction business, and they have their own ideas of what they would like to see and work with but it isn' always possible. Instances of table relationships causing issues, not integrating the way we would like, can also cause minor pain. Overall, I have had very few issues that couldn't be solved one way or another. Lastly, some of the new UI features are not as "user friendly" as they were before the updates. This makes navigation somewhat cumbersome at times, especially for those who have limited computer knowledge. They are comfortable with the way it's set up and then it changes, which isn't ideal for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase allows me to go from a concept to an actual application within an hour, yet is also flexible enough that I can make additions or changes to the system later on. There is a good support network of people using it, and ChatGPT knows the system well enough that it can provide support as well. The "per use" pricing (rather than "per user") allows us to roll it out to all of our customers without taking a major cost hit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The salespeople are sometimes slow to respond, and they don't have the technical background that I would like to see. Also, they seem to be transitioning to supporting larger customers, so smaller ones like me (4 major applications, a few hundred users, most of whom are light-usage customers) don't get as much consideration as new options are rolled out.

Quickbase platform is like a canvas that enables to create any kind of business workflows implemented in quick turnaround. It's only the creativity we need to create any kind of sophisticated functionalities right-from the intuitive user forms, impactful reports/dashboards and seamless process automation making use of pipelines.

The capability to manage large data over 2 million records and the easeness of archiving the data can be improved. It will help to make it a large enterprise solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there are a lot of good options within this platform. They have been focusing on upgrading the technology with AI and other options to make a cleaner approach. We utilize different options within this platform, including our primary reporting database, project management, among others. The tools have become easier to use over time. More recently the support team has become helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My first thought is the customer support. Over years of use, we have had numerous CSMs, Account Managers, etc...many of which were non-responsive, unsupportive, and in many cases difficult to work with. While that had gotten better in 2022-2023, it fell off again in 2024. It's a revovlving door of people who don't seem to know much about our account. There's no one to reach out to check in or provide updates on new products or tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My team made our own platform for project, maintenance, and performance tracking. It has everything we could ask for and more. With a little help from IT we have automatic APIs pulling in production data as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really quickbase's fault, but the more I add the more complicated it gets. Sometimes it is not the best or most customizable at first glance, but usually there are backdoors to get the look you want, but it may involve some light code.

Unsure how it scales, sometimes it is slow to load, but we have a loooot going on in the background now which may have something to do with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
