I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Automation has transformed project and inventory workflows and improves revenue forecasting
The best features QuickBase offers include being a no-code software, meaning it is very easy to use even for new users. It also provides life cycle management, workflow management, and dashboards. The dashboards and workflow management help my team significantly, as they have a drag-and-drop interface and prebuilt templates, which play a pivotal role in creating custom applications. Those features also help provide the ability to manage the entire application life cycle with QuickBase easily. Integration has been very seamless with our overall IT stack. The user interface is very user-friendly and intuitive, which makes it very easy to use, together with the no-code aspect. Any kind of personnel can use this tool easily.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"The reporting feature has to be my favorite, as Quickbase provides many ways to create relevant reports to keep your team members on task."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBase is its dynamic form capabilities. These forms allow backend automation, making tasks like updating data based on specific conditions much easier."
"We would not use any other database product for internal operations."
"The ability to put together a basic application in a just a few hours, so you can start using it within days and then easily make additions and adjustments on the fly."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"We purchased QuickBase because we needed process management - and it's allowing us to enforce process."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"We can provide clean data in a matter of minutes rather than days or even weeks in some cases."
 

Cons

"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"I just see the need for more integration with your Quickbooks suite of software and the display of Mobile data needs improvement."
"There are some clunky things about the options and interface, but they're working to improve them and are highly responsive to customer feedback."
"Not everything is perfectly intuitive and some features require you to write some code and/or formulas (for example, setting up recurring tasks or appointments, or color-coding fields based on their values)."
"The security and notifications features could be better."
"A few times, the system has seen a traffic jam and very rarely does it go down, but it has had some hiccups this year with our systems being down a whole afternoon."
"Customer Service: A lot of resources are available. Not as easy to pin down the development team. Technical Support: Average."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The solution is expensive and geared toward enterprise-level clients."
"The product is cheap when compared to other products."
"The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
"The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."
"Quickbase is probably not the cheapest app out there. That said, it is worth its weight in gold. There is no other app that I know of in the market today that can do what Quickbase does."
"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
"You have to negotiate the price because it varies based on the number of users you have, as well as how much cloud storage space you need."
