Quickbase Software Reviews

Pros

I can quickly input data from our production lines and monitor scrap trends which helps me spot issues or potential problems and bring them to the attention of my quality manager and production manager effectively.

Cons

Can't isolate specific part numbers when I need to scrap just those items which limits how detailed my reports can get.

Pros

The customization options are incredible for our unique business requirements something you rarely find with standard solutions. I also really appreciate how user-friendly the interface is.

Cons

Costs way more than expected.

Pros

I appreciate how this tool lets me create different views of my data so I can focus on just the information that matters for whatever I'm working on at the moment.

Cons

I wish the search feature had more depth to it. Things like boolean searches or the ability to search across multiple fields would be really helpful. The filters can also be pretty confusing sometimes.

Pros

Creating and editing CRMs is simple plus it handles other tasks really well.

Cons

Can't make calls, send texts or handle email communications through the platform

Pros

Managing data has become much easier since I can organize everything into different categories. It's an excellent tool for storing information, reviewing it later and building spreadsheets when needed.

Cons

Hard to get to pictures and documents when they're stacked up or attached to things.

Pros

Building apps with this platform is very simple. I picked it up quickly and now create multiple applications for our company regularly. The layout makes everything user-friendly and the learning curve was much shorter than I expected.

Cons

The charting tools can be pretty frustrating when you're trying to customize them for specific needs and they don't always cooperate the way you'd expect.

Pros

I really like how convenient this is for people like me who understand logic but don't have a programming background. It's easy to handle and doesn't require technical coding skills to use effectively.

Cons

Can't use programming languages or modify existing tables with AI, even if they weren't originally built using AI.

Pros

Creating powerful relational databases with automations through the graphic interface has been incredibly effective for me. The integration into existing workflows is smooth and I appreciate how easy it is to learn. Regular processes have become so much more organized since I started using this tool.

Cons

It can be tricky to stay compliant with privacy regulations though the support team does help with this.

Pros

I appreciate how the platform constantly evolves with fresh updates and new functionality rolling out regularly.

Cons

Sometimes the interface changes throw me off when buttons get moved around from where I'm used to finding them.

Pros

There's an incredible amount of information available. Seriously the data volume is impressive

Cons

The interface feels complex at times and there's definetly room for improvement in how everything flows together.

Pros

Everything's digital now and no more dealing with paper files, physical folders or accidentally billing the same customer twice.

Cons

This software can be glitchy occasionally though it's generally a solid tool to work with.

Pros

I can go from just an idea to a working application in about an hour which is pretty nice. What I really appreciate is how flexible it remains. I'm not locked into my initial design and can easily modify or expand the system as needs change. The user community is really helpful when I run into issues and ChatGPT actually knows the platform well enough to provide solid guidance too. The pricing model is brilliant for us since it's based on usage rather than individual users so we can deploy it across our entire customer base without worrying about costs spiraling out of control.

Cons

Response times from the sales team can be frustratingly slow and I've noticed they lack the technical depth I'd prefer when discussing complex issues. It's also becoming clear that they're shifting focus toward bigger clients, smaller operations like mine with just 4 main applications and a few hundred mostly light users seem to be getting less attention when new features are released.

Pros

The way information flows and connects with clients has been amazing. Managing a remote team of 100 people with constantly changing details used to be a nightmare. Now our database setup makes distributing updates smooth. When clients are processing candidates, getting feedback to our recruiters happens instantly. We've definitely sped up our hiring process and boosted profits as a result.

Cons

I find myself doing way too much clicking to get anything done sometimes I jokingly call it "Clickbase" because of how many clicks simple tasks require. Without a development background, the whole system feels pretty overwhelming. Fortunately, I have an excellent support person at QuickBase who guides us through everything though it's definitely a lengthy process. I can see the potential though.

Pros

I found it to be userfriendly and filling out forms is not an issue. I've never run into any access problems or needed to reach out to support. Since I'm in there multiple times daily, I appreciate how fast I can complete and submit forms.

Cons

The only thing that bothers me is when I click on entry fields, previous entries pop up and I sometimes accidentally select one. This gets really annoying especially after I've already typed in my information, then I have to delete the wrong data I clicked by mistake. It would be great if this didn't happen so I could fill out forms faster.

Pros

Lets me quickly build database applications. The features are solid and the platform keeps getting better with regular updates. What really stands out is the extensive ecosystem, there are tons of third-party solutions and plugins that are both helpful and affordable.

Cons

Building custom UI applications can be quite challenging with this platform. For instance, I needed to capture signatures from mobile devices where users sign with their fingers or stylus but that functionality just isn't available. Though to be fair, it's a pretty specific use case so I'm not losing sleep over it.

Pros

I really appreciate how flexible this tool is when building data entry forms and reports. The creation process feels friendly and there are some powerful features that set it apart from other low-code database options I've tried.

Cons

While the basic features are genuinely low code and don't require much training, this is a very mature product where the more advanced capabilities go beyond standard low code solutions and need proper training for people who aren't tech-savvy.

Pros

Enjoyed working with the previous version. It was simple and I could enter all my data without any issues.

Cons

The interface feels complex. I'm not a fan of how they organized all those side tabs and it makes everything feel cluttered. Filtering results is way more complicated than it should be. My boss and I spent way too much time last week trying to get the filters to work properly but we ended up just doing everything by hand instead.

Pros

The automation features are fantastic and I love how the low code environment makes everything so uncomplicated. There's also a wealth of online resources available which really helps when you're getting started or trying to figure something out.

Cons

Main issue I have is that most training resources weren't available when I first started building apps. Back then, it felt like learning through trial and error since training was mostly informal and word-of-mouth. This shaky foundation led me to develop some poor building habits early on. Most problems I face are actually due to my own bad practices like not properly documenting use-cases which becomes a real headache down the line.

Pros

I love how it helps us keep detailed records of our work and maintain quality standards. It's great for organizing each job site and documenting everything we complete, that's honestly my favorite feature about it.

Cons

Picture uploads take forever and only one person can do it at a time. The whole process is painfully slow and really needs to be faster.

Pros

The reporting features have been useful for pulling together meaningful data that really makes an impact.

Cons

The new left navigation panel is pretty annoying. Whenever my cursor gets near that side of the screen, it pops out unexpectedly and I end up clicking somewhere I didn't mean to. Then I'm suddenly in a completely different section than where I wanted to be. I can pin it open but then it just eats up more screen real estate. Not a dealbreaker but definitely frustrating.
