QuickBase Review
What do you like best about the product?
Quickbase is very user-friendly and easy to adapt to, especially compared to other platforms I’ve worked with like Salesforce. Salesforce is a huge system with a lot of complexity, and I think it would have been much harder for a beginner to accomplish what I’ve done here if we were using that. Quickbase strikes a good balance—it has the flexibility and features we need without being overly complicated. I also like the drag-and-drop usability, which feels similar to HubSpot but with more functionality. The Quickbase Hours and FastField Hours sessions are also really helpful for learning and troubleshooting. I’ve been able to interact with the team there, and it’s been a great resource for someone like me who’s still learning the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
No way of tracking Audit trail of a user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Quickbase, a lot of our processes were manual and inefficient. For example, we used to rely on Excel for intake forms, which meant customers would fill out the form, and then someone on our team would have to manually input that data into the system. It was double the work and prone to errors. With Quickbase, we’re working on automating that process so the data flows directly into the system, which will save a lot of time and improve data accuracy.
We’ve also made structural changes, like introducing a parent-child hierarchy for opportunities, which has helped us better organize and manage our data. Previously, everything was in one table, and it didn’t reflect the dynamic workflows we deal with. Now, we have a parent table for overarching opportunities and child tables for specific options, which makes it easier to track and report on things like pricing and customer requests.
Quickbase has also helped us automate processes like lead-to-opportunity conversion and creating pipelines for approvals. These automations have reduced manual effort and made our workflows more efficient. For example, we’ve added validation rules and filters to ensure data hygiene, which is critical for accurate reporting.
Overall, Quickbase has allowed us to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. It’s been a big improvement over the manual processes we had before, and it’s flexible enough to adapt to our unique workflows.
