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.
It was a central location for the work I needed to do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UX is terrible. It displays too much information and makes it harder than it needs to be to view the information you want to view. It is incredibly difficult to customize. I have dozens of columns and I need to use like 3-4. If I hid all of the columns that I did not want to use they would all come back if I was to refresh or leave the page.
PDFs that were uploaded to QB could be intergrated better into the app. You should be able to view a PDF within a window in QB. If I wanted to view a PDF in QB I had to download it and as a result I had to download the same PDF multiple times, which cluttered my downloads folder. QB should also have a built in video player to view video that is linked to in QB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that Quick Base is fully customizable. Our company started with it as a basic CRM software and over time we have integrated into our business end-to-end. Seriously, the only phase of the business not touched by Quick Base is banking. If you have the ability to make basic functions in Excel, you can learn how to use Quick Base and make it work for your business. It's a lot easier to use than you would think, because the system is "low code" and relies on basic concepts like conditional statements and table relationships. Whenever I come up with an idea, the time from idea to implementation is incredibly short and the process is easy. We use it all day, every day and it's hard to imagine life without it. The few time's I've reachout to customer support, everyone I've dealt with has been very helpful and easy to work with. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The one real downside about Quick Base is the minimum required users. If you have a small company, it may be a stretch to afford as you'll be required to have more users than you'll need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quickbase has been used by my department since 2021 to replace forms used in Excel. The form creation is so easy and intuitive and reporting is a breeze to do! The ability to customize data entry, notifications, and import/export data is off the charts. This has helped us to report metrics to our stakeholders more efficently and drive productivity. I use this product all day every day for various audit requirements for my day to day work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Without a coding background, some of the more technical parts of Quickbase can be laborious and it doesn't have a sandbox environment to test before rolling into production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very flexible and very capable. It is capable of delivering just about any solution I can imagine, whether that is creating new spaces for processes or connecting to multiple data sources for a single dashboard solution for my internal customers. It is easy to set up new workspaces for nearly any data, workflow or communication need a company might have. It is fairly simple to integrate most data sources into solutions that can encourage users to use it everyday. The customer service team is very responsive, and tutorials are available for nearly every subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The standard views can be a bit plain visually, causing some internal customers to choose flashier, less capable solutions. Some of the more advanced methods can be a bit daunting to figure out, even with fairly robust tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate the ability to start easily, small, and gradually build on its strengths. I began with a table that contained vendor information and expanded it based on the needs I encountered. Now, I manage eight different processes within one application and oversee a total of six applications that handle my department's workload. It’s ready to add functionality and notifications at a moment's notice. Quickbase makes it easy to integrate and adapt quickly and reliably. Rolling it out is a dream and I hardly have to ask for Customer Support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When using SSO, it won't allow you to choose someone's nickname. It may be an Active Directory limitation. However, I have someone named Robert who goes by Bill. We use the product heavily and daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quickbase formulas are incredibly powerful
QB connected tables make moving data easy
the QB API is robust and fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Whenever QB purchases new tech, they ham fistedly push it onto customers before the integration makes sense. This happened with pipelines and fast field.
Pipelines is a great addition now, but when it was aquired it was substandard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way I describe Quickbase when explaining how it can be used in our organization, is that we ourselves can easily customize each database - adding, removing or changing fields as needed, controlling access/rights, creating our own reports which we can schedule to be sent automatically by duration (ex. daily, weekly, monthly) or when conditions are met (ex. a new record is added or changed), etc. We dont have to wait for someone else somewhere else to consider and respond to our requests to create or update our systems.

Like every single system ever made, it isnt perfect. There are rare occassions when we break the system. But we can easily undo whatever change we shouldnt have made, and do it again correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how adaptable it is to almost any situation that arises. Awesome for making reports, calculating data, what you can do with this tool always amazes me. It is very wasy to use and if I do not understand something the customer support is very helpful. I took many classes that they offer online and made me comfortable bringing it to the team.

The downsides are it is taking time for me to learn how to fully use the pipelines and coding aspects, as well as doing things with API's. I am not very experinced in this and am trying to learn it myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The streamlined information distribution and client connectivity is great. We work with a remote staff so connecting 100 staff with ever-changing information can be challenging. With the database we have setup in QuickBase it makes distribution and updating a breeze. With our clients processing applicants (We have an HR recruiting company), communicating updates back to our recruiters is seamless. We have increased the speed of hiring and increased profits because of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a lot of clicking. Sometimes I refer to it as Clickbase since it takes so many clicks to accomplish a task. If you are not a developer it can be very overwhelming. I am lucky to have a great support person at QuickBase walking us though everything. It is a lenghtly process but I see the light. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
