Overall Satisfaction with QuickBase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used across our entire organization. It was designed to be a CRM system that tracked a process from Sales to Reconciliation. It acts as a revenue tool for as well an operational tool to manage projects. It's similar to what Salesforce is with a little more flexibility in development and much less in cost.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Managing statuses on projects.
Tracking and surfacing up financial reporting - so that it is not a manual task.
Organizing and centralizing information as it relates to our programs.

Cons

UI needs a little work to be more friendly - including navigation.
Needs more innate modules, functions or apps - we tend to have to work other vendors who can implement into the system.

Alternatives Considered

Quickbase is pretty nimble in most areas. It's cheaper than most solutions - and has thought of a lot of the basic project management and financials scenarios. Pretty easy to use straight out of the box.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think the publisher industry - especially on the advertising side - is an untapped market for QuickBase. If they were to understand that industry a little better - there is a bed of untapped new clients they can approach to develop a new market.
