Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
Historically a scientist would go into the lab, measure something like a chemical, and then they would take the data and copy it into an Excel sheet. What we've done is we've created a tunnel to the cloud. So when they measure something, a file is outputted and we put it into AWS, and then we actually use the Quickbase API and then write it out to Quickbase, and then we dashboard their basic analytics and aggregate statistics, such as quality.
Pros
- High throughput development. Building a database and relating things quickly.
Cons
- Honestly, I work a lot with the API and there were some changes to API, I think this past year or earlier this year. It was not formally announced the changes were going to happen and it broke some of our pipelines. So communicating those technical details more. I've already talked to people who said they're working on it.
- There's a disconnect between the API verbiage versus the UI, the front end aspect. For example, the field types are actually labeled differently than in the front end. In the UI, instead of multi-text, it's multiple-choice or something else. There's a disconnect in the wording between the two.
- I would say it's so early. We're still rolling it out, so it's too early to say.
