"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"It has many ready modules that can be used and developed."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can develop everything locally and deploy it for different kinds of operators in different locations, so we can do our job in one piece. The benefit of that is that others can use these applications. They connect to the internet to do these kinds of applications based on the permissions for those users."
"I particularly enjoy the web builder capabilities, especially the Page Designer. It offers so many elements or components to choose from, which is a major plus for me."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline."
"The product is easy to use."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"The solution’s pricing is high if you use it on the OCA platform. It’s also a little bit costly. However, if we use it on an on-premises Oracle database, the pricing is cheaper."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."

"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
