Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase

In my department, there are three major functions that Quickbase is a solution for. 1) We log our systems checks on a daily basis. 2) We use it for shift turnover reports to notify staff of important events. 3) We use it for asset management to keep track of multiple sites where we have assets. 4) We keep track of pending work orders for vendors. 5) We are also using it for Change Management recording.

Pros

  • Very simple to learn and easy to use.
  • Lots of options for storing and retrieving data.
  • It's been around for a long time and has a good reputation.
  • I like being able to use a common web browser for QB.

Cons

  • I am always one for integrating voice command technology into applications. So that would be cool.
  • The admin interface could be a little more intuitive.
  • We are able to save time with multiple users being able to view data at the same time.
Microsoft Access was one of the DB programs that I have used in a job previous to my current one. I found it to have many more features than Quickbase does but it was a lot harder to set up and maintain. Also, it was harder to share among multiple teams. I basically feel that Access is not as current as QB.

Often times I am asked to provide asset information to different departments within my organization. Quickbase allows me to easily pull the information that they are looking for and sort it any way that they need it to look. Usually, this is done by downloading to a CSV file and after that, I can manipulate it with Excel to provide reports.

Quickbase Reliability

From the time I started using QuickBase about eleven years ago, we have had many what we call "QuickBases" added. We have inventory tracking QBs, Request for Work QBs, as well as Maintenance Record QBs. All of these have scaled very well with our growing needs. I have never found any problems adding or changing the data that we need.
It is hard for me to remember the last time our QuickBase went down to the point of not being able to use it. There were a few times where I had to log out and log back in, but I can't recall it being fully "down" for a long period of time. I guess I don't have any excuses to get out of work early! hehe
The only integration experience that I have had is downloading reports into csv files to user in Microsoft Excel. There never seems to be a problem doing that. As far as performance I've not had much of an issue with pages loading too slow. I do often have multiple tabs open at the same time in my browser, but the QuickBase seems to keep up very well. I have no complaints.
