We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and QuickBase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."Microsoft Azure provides good performance and support."
"Feature-wise, I like its stability. Also, it is easy to access the solution and its options."
"Azure offers broad compatibility with both structured and unstructured data. For example, we use PostgreSQL for storing Azure's official data and manage various types of data, including tabular and image data, accommodating the storage of all data types we handle. So, in many ways, Azure simplified the data storage and management needs."
"Databricks is really nice because you have the power to process lots of data and you can create queries and provide big analysis for the business using a robust cluster."
"Azure's Data Lake services are decent. I like AKS, and API Management is relatively straightforward to use. The security and SIEM options Azure offers are good. All the infrastructure services are easy to use and set up."
"Active Directory is a good feature. The infrastructure features that Azure provides are also good."
"Reduces work for our IT teams and saves us a lot of time."
"The product is rather stable. We haven't had any issues with it in that sense."
"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."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"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."
"Pricing is one area where Azure has room for improvement. There should be some due consideration. Azure has solved some issues with pricing from the development team's standpoint, but it is still quite costly. They should also offer a trial period for the individual platform solutions. I think that would be pretty handy for the developers."
"The only thing is regarding the management of multi-cloud environments. That's not really possible."
"The pricing criteria can be improved with broken-down terms that can be understood easily."
"Microsoft Azure is so complicated inside. If you should do something internally, if you have to configure something, the opinion about Azure is that it is a little complicated inside. That's why the end users and clients are looking for help and why we help them configure and do anything inside of Azure. That is why we offer other tools to optimize the Azure environment."
"It would be helpful if it offered more integration with other platforms."
"Microsoft Azure can improve by adding more features for virtual machines, such as tier virtual machines."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"There are times when using a service in Microsoft Azure can be confusing because you have four or five options that do similar operations. It would be helpful if there was a clear decision tree around those features. Microsoft does provide a lot of decision trees around a lot of their services, but it's not for everything."
"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
