Quickbase Reviews & Product Details

Quickbase has been helpful for managing our existing logs and organizing information across different service areas. Our DSS department uses it to track client data, which we previously managed in an Excel spreadsheet. It addressed the problem of multiple staff members trying to edit the same file at once, which used to cause issues. Overall, it’s been smooth to use, and we haven’t had any complaints with what we currently have in place. I also appreciate the flexibility to create test applications so I can explore potential uses for other departments. Pricing is fair and worth the functionality. We haven't had any issues with performance or integration of existing data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Quickbase, we relied heavily on Excel for tracking client information, and it wasn’t working well. Staff ran into issues with multiple people editing the same file, which led to errors and inefficiencies. Quickbase eliminated those problems by providing a centralized platform where everyone can access and update information without conflicts. It’s also helped us explore ways to streamline processes, like maintenance tracking and capturing signatures, though those are still in the early stages. Overall, Quickbase has made managing data easier and more reliable for the department that uses it. We would like to see more features related to signature capturing that is integrated into QuickBase and not a third party attachment. AI features are being introduced constantly so that has been a great addition to existing functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Quickbase is a low-code tool, but allows for as much customization and automation as you want, unlike other low-code database platforms. For example, you can create a report with any columns you want and send this report via email on a schedule. The Quickbase app you build can be customized down to the tiniest detail and allows for so much flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase is very limited with what branding features they let you customize in your app. For example, you cannot change the font size, font color, font type, and background color of records. The UI looks a bit outdated and it's frustrating that you can't change these things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like most about Quickbase is that you can customize it around the way your team actually works. In my project, I use it to manage weekly timesheet PDF files. I also created a formula URL button that links directly to a custom solution. When a reviewer needs to remove sensitive information from a PDF, they can click the button, open the file in a browser-based redaction tool, black out the sections they need to remove, and save the updated PDF. It makes the process much easier than handling the files separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, I don't have any major dislikes about Quickbase. It has been flexible and effective for the workflows I've built, and so far, it has met my requirements well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase has been a solid tool for us because it allows us to centralize all of our data and make it accessible to the people who need it. Before Quickbase, we were dealing with a mess of Excel spreadsheets, rogue documents, and systems that didn’t talk to each other. Now, everything is in one place, and it’s tailored to what each person needs to see. For example, our supervisors can log in and immediately see the information they need about their team without having to call me or wait for a report. It’s reduced the number of calls and texts I get asking for data by 60-70%. I also like that Quickbase lets me customize dashboards and reports for different roles, so everyone from shift managers to plant managers can get the data they need without digging through irrelevant information. The automation features, like sending alerts for upcoming certifications or deadlines, have been a big help too. It’s not perfect, but it’s made my job a lot easier.

The pricing could be a bit more transparent. As far as the system itself goes, if there is something I "don't like" I have the power to change it—definitely no issues there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The error handling feature in Quickbase pipelines has been a big help for us. It’s made things more efficient, especially when dealing with data issues. For example, we had a situation where some fields in our data didn’t exist on certain records. Without error handling, the pipeline would have just stopped running, and we wouldn’t have been able to do anything with the errors. But with the error handling, I was able to set up nested steps to manage those missing fields and keep the process moving. It’s also helpful that Quickbase allows us to log errors and create records for them, so we can track which vendors are missing specific data points and follow up as needed.

It’s not perfect: adding those steps increased the processing time. But the benefit is that we’re getting more detailed and visible data now. While there’s still room for improvement in some areas, Quickbase has made our processes more manageable and efficient overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like most about Quickbase is the flexibility. At Cares, we use it to support a workflow where users can submit information, sign documents, upload files, and complete validations, with everything automatically updated in the right Quickbase record. It also works well with our custom application and external APIs, which makes it easy to fit into our existing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing is that some customization can take a little time to figure out. When building more specific workflows or integrations, you sometimes need extra configuration to get exactly the behavior you want. But overall, the flexibility makes it worth it.

We are really pleased with all of the features that Quickbase offers us. It gives us the ability to create custom apps for each of our departments. It has excellent integration and the pipelines feature allows us to build automations with our data. The UI/UX is clean and easy to understand. Lately, we are really taking advantage of code pages to build more robust apps. The value far exceeds what we pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish there were more options to customize the standard UI/UX. However, we have been able to solve for this with code pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Quickbase very useful in my role as a Product Marketing Manager, especially for keeping project information and ongoing activities well organized. What I appreciate most is the flexibility to customize records and workflows to match our specific needs, rather than being locked into a fixed format. Having project updates, notes, and follow-up tasks consolidated in one place makes it easy to review past records and stay on top of current progress. It also helps that we can adjust fields and views as project requirements evolve, so the system continues to fit the way we work over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, it can take some time to understand the Quickbase setup and configure it to match your workflow. Some options aren’t immediately obvious, particularly when you’re linking multiple tables or trying to build more advanced workflows. Better guidance during the initial setup—and a clearer, simpler way to understand the relationships between connected records—would make the platform much more convenient and approachable for new users.

As a Network Engineer at Concepts and Devices LLP, I find Quickbase’s customization capabilities genuinely useful. In network operations, it’s important to accurately track clients, network devices, device configurations, and maintenance schedules, and Quickbase helps me keep all of that organized in one centralized workspace. The dashboard is especially helpful because it lets me visualize key information such as client SLA tiers, network device categories, and incidents, which reduces the need to open and review individual records one by one. I also appreciate that the tables and workflows can be tailored to specific business requirements, making it easier to align the setup with how our operations actually run.

Setting up an application in Quickbase can take a fair amount of time, especially when you want certain features configured correctly from the start. It really requires careful planning during the initial setup, particularly when you’re defining relationships between network devices, client records, and incident management. While the dashboard does include multiple charts, more customization options would make it easier to surface the information I use most often. Better in-app guidance would also help beginners get up to speed and understand the more advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
