Quickbase Reviews & Product Details

Great for quick organization and teamwork

The interface isn't the most user-friendly and intuitive for navigation. Feels outdated as well

keeping track of timesheets, project flow, PO details, teamwide availability/PTO plans

The ability to get better data insight from a financial standpoint of a company and also able to see different project aspects in one place is beneficial, and it is customizable!

Sometimes, doing the easy things can be a bit drab; some experience is needed. The user interface can be improved, like a more visual and object-oriented display rather than a database design.

Generating dashboards and real-time analytics from different data for easy presentation to team members and filterable information. The revenue, hours and project master is a real plus.

I have used the help tab quite a bit during my use.

I wish there was a step by step system when you click on tabs.

Quick base is helping me keep track of certain billings and invoices.

QuickBase is very intuitive when it comes to building out a database schema. They've made linking items up with Foreign Keys and then being able to update tables via CSVs extremely simple. Combine that with some basic Python scripting and you can create very rudimentary inventory tracking databases for a small group in a very short time frame (<1 month).

QuickBase automation, out of the box, is a little clunky. You can "low-code" some of it through the interface, but it was much easier in my situation to utilize Python scripts from database outputs. It'd be great to see the site take in user scripts and implement them, although, that'd be very hard to manage from a security stand point.

We had a massive inventory of items tracked through spreadsheets that had gotten too large. QuickBase allowed us to get around that and also semi-automate our pipeline while also providing an intuitive interface for end-users.

QB is a good organizational tool. It helps put your entire project in one place and is very user-friendly. No complex coding to figure out.

The only downfall I have found with QB is it can be a little glitchy. It takes a while to think before you can move on to your next step, and it sometimes crashes.

QB helps multiple people within a project communicate. There are many people in the office, in the field, and traveling. Sometimes we don't get to collaborate, and this helps us all stay on track.

Love the collaboration capabilities of the tool

There isn't built in workflow capabilities

lack of collaboration

This platform allows our company to stay organized and mainstream information. The ability to create metrics through the ability of creating our own reports has greatly impacted our performance as a company. We are able to design our platform exactly how we want it and maintain organization.

It would be appreciated if there is more Quickbase support or tutorials through the program. As it is not always the most user friendly program for the size of company we are. It would be a good idea for QB to provide companies with a personal or training. Other than it not being as user friendly as we would like it is a great program that keeps us organized as a business.

We have come across issues with our own APP syncing with QB. Other than that QB is a great program that we will continue to use.

The ability to track progress on projects and get status updates via email.

Sometimes the interface can be a bit overwhelming in options and reports.

Project tracking has been solved with this software

training was very good, easy to view in format

many diff tabs for diff depts & not everyone has access to each level since highly customizeable, so less self explanatory than other ones i've used, but it was delberate

i'm more just data entry for companies and opportunities, nice for CRM...all individuals in diff depts use for all types of things however

The flexibility of the system is great, and the ability to customize reports/interface is necessary in personalizing processes.

The overall look of Quick Base could be improved as the aesthetics of the program are a little clunky and not completely intuitive.

We are able to bridge gaps in our current databases by using Quick Base as a tool to connect multiple teams and share work/information.

I enjoy the customization and ease of incorporating new functions.

I dislike the basic format and less than attractive interface.

As a company we have been able to continuously compile a lot of information into one place and have Quickbase help us turn that information into workable data.

I can view my teams progress on jobs. Submit bids control my payroll on projects

Setting up the different apps. It’s hard to figure out at first.

Keeping myself and client inform on project issues. If client have any issues they can login and view and submit

Multiple reporting features that you can test before changing the report

Some limited filtering/sorting on reports

Database/scheduling

The ease of use and how it divides the different tasks by colors so you can see where the project status is in the testing levels. I.E. Pre-QA testing up to live testing, complete, etc.

The user can't edit or delete an existing task on a project once it has been made. The admin for our Quickbase account seems to be the only person who can edit/delete tasks.

It helps to keep projects organized and shows the level of testing they have completed and what is next for each project.

QuickBase is fairly simple to use once you understand how it is set up. It makes it really easy to see the progress of a project and you know exactly where a project is at down the line of programming, design, testing and pushing changes live. It is also simple to see who is working on what and when so when there are questions, they can be easily addressed.

It isn't the most user friendly to figure out how to work it. You really need a tutorial to understand everything that it does. That being said, it does it well. It also drives me nuts that a group members name is shown first name first in some areas, but last name first in others. Some consistency in that would help with my OCD.

We are able to manage dozens of projects at a time. We are able to pick up projects as they become available and complete them in groups keeping things in order and sticking with given due dates.
