What I like most about Quickbase is how it centralizes project data and automates workflows without requiring extensive coding knowledge. The platform is also highly customizable, which makes it straightforward to build applications tailored to specific business needs. Its dashboards, reporting tools, and collaboration features give clear visibility into project progress, helping teams stay organized, boost productivity, and make data-driven decisions more efficiently.

While Quickbase is very flexible, the initial learning curve can be tough for new users because of the many customization options available. Some of the more advanced capabilities—like complex workflow automation and detailed application configuration—take time and practice to master. The interface can also feel a bit overwhelming at times, especially when you’re managing larger applications with multiple forms and reports. Even with these minor drawbacks, the platform is reliable overall and becomes much easier to use as you gain experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company switched from Salesforce to Quickbase for our CRM functions. It’s been much easier to build, configure, and update than Salesforce, and I honestly wish we had listened to our IT Director sooner. The transition was smoother and easier than I expected, and we’re already up and running with more functionality than we had in Salesforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes finding the right combination of features or feature help can be cumbersome, but I normally find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customizable dashboards have gradually become one of my favorite features. With a single click, I can quickly see deadlines, progress, and pending work, instead of having to manually check every project. Overall, the performance of this platform is great. The way it is providing great services, I would say we are getting our money's worth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During our first few days with Quickbase, we underestimated how much planning would be needed before building applications. A better orientation would have saved us time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase lets us build what we need without being locked into a rigid system. I like that we can create pipelines and customize how data flows between apps and tables. It’s also helpful that we can use bulk upserts and other tools to handle large amounts of data efficiently. The ability to integrate with external tools, like APIs, is another big plus for us. It’s not perfect, but it gives us the tools to figure things out and make it work for our needs. Definitely!! Definitely!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels more limited than custom code, and when I’m working with extremely large data sets, the system can sometimes become slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Quickbase is how easy it is to build and update applications as our needs evolve. The drag-and-drop interface is straightforward, and the automation and reporting tools make it easier for us to manage data and stay on top of work without constantly needing support from developers.

Quickbase is easy to use for most day-to-day tasks, but some of the more advanced features take a little time to learn. When you start building more complex applications, having some technical knowledge can be helpful. I also feel the interface could be refreshed in a few areas so it looks more modern and is easier to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s incredibly customizable. Nearly anything I’ve wanted to do (or that others in my org have asked for) seems possible. It sometimes takes a bit of Googling and some time to figure out how to make it happen, but there are plenty of resources out there (Quickbase University, Quickbase Community, office hours) to help me work through different use cases. Before Quickbase, we had multiple spreadsheets that were owned by different people to track all of our projects. Now almost everything we do lives in one place, with one owner but everyone has the access they need. The pricing seemed high for us because we're a small company with only a few employees, and we'll likely never meet the minimum users required. But we keep finding uses for it that make it more valuable all the time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because we’re a small company with only a few users, I do wish there were plans available with lower user limits, though I understand they need to cover their costs and turn a profit. The learning curve was pretty steep for me; there were plenty of days I went home frustrated because I knew what I wanted to do was possible, but I just couldn’t figure out how to do it. At the time, Quickbase University had a ton of content to help me learn, but some of it felt outdated since they had recently released several new features along with an updated UI. Lately, I’ve noticed that a lot of the Quickbase U content has been refreshed to match the current UI, so it should be easier for new folks who are just getting started.

I liked being able to see everything in one dashboard. We didn’t expect Quickbase to replace as many spreadsheets as it did, and it did so excellently. The reminders helped us stay on top of deadlines and keep things moving. Overall, it was totally worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the templates could be better, and the navigation could be easier. Mobile functionality definitely needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It perfectly fits into our background, which is exactly what we were looking for. I adore how AI features don’t force their way in whatever I do and only show up when I really need them to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase should focus on making every feature truly live up to its name by being easy to find and access. In my experience, it takes solid planning rather than quick fixes for the platform to show its real strengths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Quickbase lets me automate processes and avoid manual work. I’m someone who prefers efficiency, and Quickbase helps me get things done faster without having to deal with repetitive tasks. I was able to build an app from scratch using Quickbase University and the help docs, even though I had never used Quickbase before. It’s satisfying to figure things out and see them work. The platform is flexible, and I’ve been able to customize it to fit our needs, like creating dashboards and reports for supervisors and case managers. It’s also great for tracking and organizing data in a way that’s easy to reference later. I appreciate that Quickbase allows me to make things easier for others to use and access.

Not much, I have heard from people using my application that they have a difficult time understanding the logic but I believe the majority of that frustration will be addressed with the new UI QB uploaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbase makes it easier to manage complex workflows without needing everything to be fully automated. I like that it allows me to create reports and track assignments in a way that’s already simpler than what we had in place before. For example, when we were working on the PTO backup system, Quickbase let us set up relationships and formulas that dynamically adjust based on real-time data, like who’s out on PTO and who their backup is. It’s not perfect, but it’s flexible enough that I can create workarounds, like manual overrides, when needed. I also appreciate how the app leverages relationships and formulas in a clean, straightforward way. It’s not overly complicated, but it’s powerful enough to handle what we need.

The Jinja-specific language means having to learn yet another IT language. I wish you could incorporate SAS, SQL, or Python directly in the code sections instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
