Quickbase Reviews & Product Details

When I first starting building in QB, I was a beginner. The platform is very friendly for basic applications without advanced needs.

SIZE AND API LIMITS!!!! We are looking to change CRMs currently due to the fact that they have an arbitrary limit of 500GB per table. You can't even buy more storage after that, which is absolutely crazy. I would happily buy more storage. But after you hit that mark - it just stops accepting new records & blocks you. The only option is to delete older records, delete fields, or entirely restructure your CRM. But by the time it gets to that size, you can imagine how huge of an undertaking restructuring is.

It was a good place to store all of our internal records & we love that it is cloud-based.

It's nice to see many business areas in one place instead of several different systems. I like being able to navigate by clicking on tabs as well as buttons. We have dual choices on our main menu page for selecting an area.

There can be areas where navigation is a bit clunky. One example, there is one area that can only be accessed and modified by clicking on it instead of just tabbing.

Integrating information in one place instead of using several systems to house and retrieve data.

Fast to create apps. Fairly easy to learn the basics.

The COST keeps going up. Not a well known product so no QB talent in Canada

filling the holes in our ERP

Ui driven and no code required. Detailed documentation.

no version control at code level and review/approval process so that end user can change anything they want and cannot be tracked.

adding version control at code page and settings so that we can perform code review and PR review before code is deployed.

Easy to use, good for big teams, can house a lot of data.

It is quite expensive and became prohibitive as a small team.

We house our CRM there and all of the data associated with the customers.

the ability to search for jobs and dates etc

the loss of population and the slowdowns in processing data

organizing billing for jobs

Ease of access. Communicating task, and scheduling future events / task all in one app / place is very convient.

My current employer is allowed to created multiple apps.

Scheduling conflicts.

The ability to customize just about everything.

What I dislike doesn't have anything to do with the application it has to do with the programmer who made the customizations. He did't include the fields and reports I need to use from a calling perspective.

We wanted everyone in the organization to have access to all of the information about our customers and be able to access that information from anywhere and on any device. The biggest problem is getting everyone to use it to it's fullest capacity.

Quickbase is a flexible solution that can be adapted to a variety of situations.

Quickbase is clunky and requires a lot of clicks to get simple things done. It has a very particular, and often non-user friendly, workflow.

Quickbase allows for adding comments to metrics to determine root causes for events.

i like that i am able to have all my properties on one dashboard view.

The reporting is not very user friendly nor is adding an app.

We use quick base for investor reporting

This is highly customizable if you know how to build widgets from scratch. It is too complicated for the average user to figure out even after extensive research.

I dislike the slow loading times for page speed. I have tried to find a way to set up a call list for the daily tasks where our sales team can line up customer calls in one window and effectively prioritize and make calls all in one program. Instead, you have to go in and out of each customer profile. It's not ideal for speed and efficiency.

Gathering customer data all in one program. Customized widgets and some that are pre-built so you do not have to build it yourself.

It was easy to get started and onboard people into the application. My non-technical team members can create their own views that match their specific needs. It was easy to prototype views and data entry.

When we signed up years ago it was relatively cheap and you could pay per user. Now is two factors, two decimal places are more expensive and you have to buy blocks of user licenses. I am desperately looking for an alternative, and I will leave the first chance I get. When your database gets too big you can't export it using the built-in tools, you have to build your own using there API. There API has limits that prevent exporting the entire database in a single day, so you need to build tools with rate limiting in it. Primarily the expensive is my biggest issues, its thousand of dollars a month for even 2 users to use. Would not recommend

Originally we were looking for a simple CRM with three linked tables. We didn't need all the extra bells and whistles that other systems had. We needed one step above a spreadsheet.

I like that it can be access almost anywhere. The software is very light and uses small amounts of data to load. User friendly and can be easily navigate even for first time users.

What I hate about quickbase is that it tends to be very unreliable especially when being use by multiple users all at the same time because the loading speed is unacceptable.

As of now there is more problems being created than solving, I like the way they tend to innovate the software how ever they should be focusing more on the processing speed of the app rather than adding more functions and features that will add up with the current problem. For now I can't say any benefit I'm getting from it because instead of saving a lot of time, it is being wasted on waiting for it to load and see if your clocked in and out pushes through or not.
