Quickbase Reviews & Product Details

Quickbase makes it easier to manage and track the data we need without having to jump between multiple systems. I like that it centralizes everything in one place, especially for tracking studies, agreements, and invoicing. It’s also flexible enough to adapt to what we need as we grow. For example, we’ve been able to set up permissions so users only see the data relevant to them, which is important since we have multiple sites using the app. The ability to customize forms and automate processes is another big plus—it saves us time and reduces manual work. I also appreciate that Quickbase offers tools like pipelines to help cut down on repetitive data entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven’t been able to identify any downsides. They’ve been helpful and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase makes it easy to organize and customize things the way I need them. I like that I can adjust fields, headers, and reports without worrying about breaking anything. I recently was able to add a new column to group inventory by location and create a separate category column, and it didn’t mess up the existing setup. It’s straightforward to make changes, and I don’t feel like I’m going to screw something up. The dashboards are also really helpful. They let me see everything I need in one place, and I can tweak them to show exactly what I want. That’s probably one of my favorite features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Quickbase, tracking inventory was a hassle. Our monthly counts involved a lot of jumping back and forth between areas, and it wasn’t easy to keep everything organized. Now, I can group inventory by location and category, which saves time and makes it easier for the team to count items without running all over the place. I’ve also been able to update pricing and quantities directly in the system, so everything matches up better. Another big benefit is being able to track work-in-progress jobs separately from hard inventory. This helps us account for materials that haven’t been billed yet but are still part of our inventory. Quickbase has helped us clean up our processes and make things more efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Quickbase has a user interface that's pretty simple to navigate. I also like how the webpages are organized, making it easy to review order details. It's great that I can easily see the reports, whether they're waiting for approval or need warehouse tracking and shipping information. Plus, I can quickly access details about who placed the order, when, and how much each item is worth. Setting up Quickbase was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the amount of email notifications for reports. I wish there were less, maybe just two: one for the front half of the week and another for the back half of the week to track ordering and shipping statuses. I would like to receive less material release email reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For my company, I like this app because it has a lot of features. Pretty much everything we need is here, so we don’t have to access another app. Our payroll logins are here, our work tracker is here, and we can also use it for coaching logs, appraisal logs, plotting OT, and even creating tickets for our company IT. Having all of these in one app brings a lot of benefits for us employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the app runs slowly, which affects our productivity and overall experience. In my case, I also keep having problems logging in, and I’m not sure why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase is flexible and easy to use, even for someone like me who doesn’t have a coding background. I’ve been able to learn the system and build apps that meet our needs without needing deep technical expertise. The platform allows me to tweak and optimize based on what I’ve learned over time, which is helpful as our priorities shift. I also appreciate the training resources, like Quickbase University and the AI tools, which make it easier to build and improve apps. The ability to ask the system to create something and then refine it has been a big plus for me. It’s also great that Quickbase can scale with us as we grow and take on new use cases.

There are some features that do require more technical experience and sometimes the resolution time on requests is longer than I would have anticipated. But generally speaking, this is not the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Quickbase makes it easy to stand up stuff really quickly and get it into users' hands fast. The rapid prototyping ability is really great, and I appreciate how I can interact with it through pipelines and its query API. It's good for quickly standing up apps for our internal teams and iterating on them by getting user feedback. Also, the integration with custom software and other Quickbase applications is helpful.

As a software engineer, I find that Quickbase breaks a lot of traditional software engineering rules, which is frustrating. For instance, you can't declare variables at the top of a pipeline and share them throughout, which I don't like. The UI could use a lot of work, especially in accessing logs and seeing how things ran. It's a painful process to sift through busy pipelines with every single step showing up, which is time-consuming. More traditional logging and the ability to search logs would be wonderful, especially when looking for specific IDs. Finally, the Solutions API is a very useful addition and I hope you continue to grow its capabilities. We have 4 environments (DEV, BETA, DEMO, and PROD) and being able to promote from one environment to another is a big help vs. by hand, but there are many more things that would be valuable there. For instance, being able to promote the ENTIRE app (schema, pipelines, and codepages) while mapping environment specific values from one environment to the next would be great. Also the ability to quickly standup a new environment and then merge its changes into another would be huge for teams of multiple developers (i.e. simulate branches in SCM tools like Git) so that multiple people can be working on a single release that will then be promoted to the next environment.

Quickbase makes it easier to keep track of daily progress on our projects. We’re able to log in and see exactly how much work has been done, like how many documents have been entered, and that helps us answer client questions quickly. It’s also helpful that Quickbase lets us upload our final product into file storage, so everything is organized and accessible. The ability to work remotely and still have everything centralized in Quickbase is a big plus for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Quickbase, we were doing everything in Excel, and it was hard to see day-to-day progress from our contractors. If a client called asking for an update, we’d have to dig through files manually, which took time. Now, with Quickbase, we can track daily progress and see exactly where things stand. It’s also helped us streamline how we manage our title reports, which are complex and involve a lot of moving parts. Quickbase has made it easier to keep everything connected and organized, from the run sheets to the mineral chains and leasehold chains. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s a step forward in making our workflow more efficient and transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how customizable Quickbase is to meet my company's needs and how easy it is to do it. I don't have to call and wait for customer service to reach back out, I can just do it myself. The amount of setup time and implementation time was clearly communicated and was met by the Quickbase team. They also encouraged and helped onboard employees throughout the whole process. Quickbase has made life a lot easier by streamlining the ordering and approval processes through our 300 farms and 100 Orderers and Approvers. It has cut down multiple hours of our Accounting team trying to track down approvals. We are now importing scheduling using AI and preset customized templates, which means our HR team no longer has to manually make schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find controlling what users are allowed to request to see challenging. I would prefer if we could lock down a certain section so they wouldn't even know they can request to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase has been a good fit for us because it allows us to track and manage a lot of different types of data in one place. We started using it in 2021, and it’s been helpful for keeping everything digital, especially after the pandemic when we moved away from paper records. I like that it’s flexible and customizable, so we can adapt it to our needs. For example, we’ve been able to use it for tracking attendance, inventory, and even gift cards by scanning barcodes. It’s also nice that it works well across different teams and departments, which is important for us since we have a lot of moving parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Quickbase, we had to rely on paper records for everything, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Even after moving to digital records, we were still printing forms for signatures and then scanning them back into the system, which felt like a waste of time and resources. With Quickbase, we’ve been able to keep all our enrollment and intake forms digital, which saves us a lot of extra work and paper.

Another challenge was tracking attendance and services. Right now, teachers manually mark attendance on weekly sheets, and we don’t have a way to track when clients enter or leave the building. Quickbase has helped us start exploring solutions for these issues, like using barcodes or QR codes to track check-ins and check-outs. It’s also helped us manage inventory, like tracking the distribution of diapers or gift cards.

Overall, Quickbase has made it easier to centralize our data and streamline processes. It’s not perfect, and there are still things we’re working on, like making sure new features are user-friendly for everyone, but it’s been a solid tool for organizing and managing our operations.

I like that Quickbase is like a giant sandbox. I enjoy the fact that if you can articulate an idea, it can most likely be built or solutioned in Quickbase. There are a lot of controls for the developer, such as code pages, formula fields, restructuring of tables, pipelines, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tracking where elements of Quickbase are used is lacking. For example, if I want to know where a report is used (perhaps embedded, perhaps referenced in a formula, etc) I can't get a good understanding of this unless I know from memory or do a deep dive into formula fields and form elements. I look forward to an easy dev, test, and production environment built into Quickbase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
