We were able to produce some nice reports along the way, making sure upper management knew the progress of the project the whole time.
I used QuickBase for 2 years to document software changes and project tasks.
Quickbase is a good platform for mass creation of work orders or tasks, reporting on high levels and tracking work orders.
Pros
This software can be customized for your companies specific needs, can generate work orders and dispatch them, can be accessed via mobile app or web browser and has completely customizable reporting.
Cons
Unlike other work order generating platforms, this does not have a chat feature for the person work orders are dispatched to and the dispatcher integrated within the system.

Helped to move our Custom Implant line from an antiquated software and combination of excel documents to an easy to use project management platform.
We've used it to provide a jointly accessible portal for the projects we do for our customers, with standardized PM templates, including the ability to display a MS Project Gantt chart, action items, document sharing, risk tracking, contact list, design metrics, etc.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this product grows and adapts as industries change over time.
Pros
QuickBase has allowed me to merge several tasks and activities that I was used to doing manually.
Cons
Integration with other programs wasn't as much of a breeze as I had anticipated.

Has truly been excellent the majority of the time. Minor hiccups, like anything, along the way, but now we have a good plethora of applications and functionalities spread across a growing company and QB has adapted well and increased their response time with any issues identified.
Pros
Able to easily code alerting to employees based on alerts, allow them to manage assignments and tasks, keep track of their projects and schedule, and ultimately save our company money.
Cons
Reliability on services is sometimes difficult. If something breaks, you will need to understand what is broken and alert Quickbase. There is only so much you can troubleshoot before waiting on QB.

Cons
I would suggest a bit improved notification lists.

It's hard to quickly see what activity on a project is relevant without spending a significant amount of time opening several discrete Jobs and combing through for details.
Our application has become our CRM, Project Management, and Operational tracking ad reporting software all built into one with a lot of automation and integration to boot!
Pros
The design of the interface is basic, but they're in the process of rolling out a new UI called Mercury that looks great.
Cons
Quickbase does not provide a ton of customer support. They rely on an incredible community of users and developers as well as approved Quickbase Solutions Providers (QSPs) that customers can contract with for help with building their applications. But if you're looking to go at it on your own, you will have to dig if you need help with something. As savvy of as Quickbase user I am, it took me three years before I even learned that I had an account manager at Quickbase.

Recommendations to others considering Quick Base
If you really want to get the most out of Quickbase and learn all that it has to offer, a trip to their annual conference called Empower is a must.
We now use QuickBase for almost anything from small project management, internal support ticket systems, marketing campaign management, lead retrieval and event registration to large-scale in-product workflow.
I utilize features like automated emails, workflows/business logic, and custom dashboards with reporting to ensure my users always have the information most important to them.
Pros
-Intuitive user interface -Ad-hoc report builder (great for non-technical users) -No-code/low-code platform (quickly create and deploy apps/databases) -Custom dashboards for specific users/roles -Security of Intuit (TurboTax, QuickBooks, etc.)
Cons
-Improved mobile app -Increased branding/white-labeling
Thanks for the positive feedback, Rick! We love having you as a customer!
We are able to utilize the QuickBase application for a magnitude of different functions, most frequent use revolves around Project Management.
Working with creating an app in QuickBase is a wonderful experience right from creating tables, forms and Reports to creating custom pages using Open APIs that QuickBase offers.
Pros
- Satisfying Technical Support - Easiness of configuring the applications - Efficient management of Security and Roles - Intuitive Reporting
Cons
- Field Validations is bit trickier - Dynamic Rules are limited and getting time lags while executing multiple rules at a time
From Sales Management to Project Management and everywhere in between, I've created hundreds of very specific applications that solve for process and workflow requirements that leave to time and money saved.
