"Versatile, Easy-to-Use, and Well-Supported Software"
5/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

I appreciate Quickbase for its ease of use, which makes it accessible and efficient for my tasks. I love the availability of training through resources like Quickbase University, as well as the opportunity to attend regular office hours and training sessions, which help me get the most out of the platform. I also value its versatility in application, allowing me to use it for various needs like database management, production tracking, and KPI monitoring. The process of switching to Quickbase was smooth, thanks to a gradual transition, and it was met with lots of positive reactions from my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

The new grid reports are nice, but there are some formatting things I wish I had better control of, such as sizing. I would prefer to be able to enter the sizing by sliding the columns over instead of setting the number of pixels. And I would love for the rows to auto size based on the data instead of setting all rows to a specific height. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developer's Dream Sandbox with Robust Controls"
5/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

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.

I also love the people that work at Quickbase and the community. Everyone just wants to help everyone and I love that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

Tracking where elements of Quickbase are used is lacking. For example, if I want to know where a report is used (perhaps embedded on a form, referenced in a formula query, used within a code page, etc) I can't get a good understanding of this unless I know from memory or do a deep dive.

I look forward to an easy dev, test, and production environment built into Quickbase.

I really want the ability to hide the pencil icon, save icon and other elements on that banner within new forms. I would like to have full control of what my users see from a new form UI perspective without having to manually alter the ifv=1&hs=1 within a button or a code page which totally changes the look and feel of the form and is just a clunky workaround when you bounce around between Iframe and not iframe. There are many occasions where I want to control the flow and use buttons to do certain functions that check certain boxes which start certain workflows. The issue is, in order for that API within the formula rich text field to work effectively I either have to give the user editing permissions (which automatically shows the pencil icon) or hard-code my user token into the button which is visible to everyone on the console.

I really dislike that when I am in new forms and have grid edit enabled on a form I have to be in edit mode to make changes. I would love for this feature to automatically change (if I have editing permissions) when I double click a field (even while just viewing a record).

I really dislike that when I am using new forms and have an embedded report I don't have control as an admin on the form level within the report settings to determine whether or not when the user clicks the eyeball it opens a new tab or stays in the same window. When I don't want to use the new pop-up feature on new forms reports within a form, it defaults to open a new tab and becomes an absolute pain in the donkey.

I also really dislike that the new reports don't auto adjust the row height based on the largest text field. For example, if a record has a field that just has a few words on the notes field, it should be thinner and show everything. If another row has a paragraph of information it should automatically show all and adjust the row height without me needing to also max out the row height of the record that just has a few words in the notes. I believe the older reports did this.

It would also be neat to be able to include dynamic filters on the embedded report.

I have a lot of other ideas, but am late for a class. feel free to reach out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, No-Frills Dashboards That Make Daily Decisions Easier"
4/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

The UI isn’t flashy at all, but maybe that is why it is so easy to work with on a daily basis. Dashboards don’t try to impress me, they simply answer questions for me. Reports are not just for presentations, but they help in making decisions too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

AI is helpful but still needs maturity. Practical questions need patience to be answered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super User-Friendly Pipelines That Streamline Work and Automate the Mundane"
5/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

Quickbase has been super user friendly. I enjoy building the pipelines and utilizing the subscriptions for email notifications. i've built about 6 pipelines and it's really helped to streamline our processes by automating the boring, mundane jobs. Using the subscriptions has helped to reduce contact time from reps to customers which increases our ability to touch more customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

Hmmm... well for my purposes, one thing that does drive me crazy is the auto expand sidebar. So, if I am trying to copy an address or something out of a customer profile I have to be so careful not to let the mouse get too far to the left as it will immediately ruin the copy process and just open the sidebar. Very annoying. Please make this a toggle option where I can turn that off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, Flexible Solution Building That Saves Users Time"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

It is easy to build solutions without complicated processes, unless you want to add those in. I like being able to build and do the heavy lifting for our users knowing that the work put into the build saves them time in their use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

Integration with Quickbase can sometimes be tricky, depending on the system you are trying to connect. It is better than it used to be, but it is sometimes still a struggle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable, Easy to Use, Needs Better Test vs Production Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

I like how reliable Quickbase is, and how easy it is for our newer users to get the hang of it. I rarely, if ever, have complaints about downtime or lag with Quickbase, and I have a user base that is generally new to the platform, so it being so customizable and self-explanatory is great for users with no experience. The initial setup was very easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

On some of the more custom functions, the ability to troubleshoot could be made easier, as well as a more dedicated test vs production system. At the moment there is not a real system for dedicated test systems completely separate from production. If they added this, it would be a lot easier to troubleshoot and build custom functions and pipelines within our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quickbase Replaced Our Spreadsheets with Calm, Organized Workflows"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

I didn’t realize how valuable Quickbase was until I stopped relying on spreadsheets; with Quickbase, everything felt calm and clearly organized. What stood out even more was that as our workflow grew, the platform continued to perform well, and the support remained solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

I didn’t experience any problem with Quickbase, as it entirely changed our way of managing projects in a good way. Integrations, onboarding, and performance all worked in our favour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quickbase Accelerates Low-Code Development with Great Permissions and Real-Time Reporting"
4/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

I appreciate having a low-code platform that helps accelerate our application development and deployment with minimal effort. I especially like the role-based permissions and the real-time reporting features, for obvious reasons. Overall, Quickbase strikes a great balance between flexibility and consistency for me, which makes it easier to build, refine, and roll out apps with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

It does have a few drawbacks, including an outdated UI, limited reporting capabilities, and the need to rely on third-party tools to get the best overall functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"QuickBase"
5/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

Quickbase has a broad functionality that we can build ourselves. It's highly customizable, which was a major advantage over other platforms we evaluated, like Salesforce. We particularly like the ability to create specific landing pages for different user roles, and the dashboards that can centralize workflows from multiple applications are a big plus. The platform allows us to tailor applications very specifically to our needs, which is essential for our diverse data requirements.

Before using Quickbase, we had numerous spreadsheets and siloed data that didn't talk to each other, which was cumbersome and led to errors. Now, we have centralized our provider data and other critical information into Quickbase, making it much easier to manage and maintain. It has significantly streamlined our data upload processes, even though we still have some manual steps due to security constraints. The platform has also enabled us to clean up redundant fields and optimize our applications, which has improved data integrity and usability. Overall, Quickbase has helped us move away from scattered spreadsheets to a more integrated and efficient system.

Also, the Tech Support is great to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use, Powerful Data Insights for Our Logistics"
5/5
What do you like best about Quickbase?

Quickbase has been a solid tool for us, especially when it comes to managing the logistics of our food delivery program. One of the things I appreciate most is how well it integrates with other tools we use, like FastField. For example, we’ve been able to connect our bulk order forms directly into Quickbase, so every submission automatically creates a record in our Quickbase tables. It's very easy to pick up and lets us easily manipulate large amounts of data to gain incredibly useful insights on our processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quickbase?

More customizability would be very helpful. We've found a lot of utility with the Code Page feature, but it lacks a lot of elements that traditional IDE environments have, like debugging and support for file structures. Pipelines could also be a little more intuitive. Otherwise, it has been a very easy to use and powerful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
