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)."The initial setup is straightforward."
"Azure Data Lake is useful. We are in the process of populating the data lake for our current project. Also, we are directly importing for Power BI to using PowerPlay."
"Its scalability is valuable. Depending on our requirements, we can add as many virtual machines as we want. We are able to get high availability for services. Services are always available, and they have the maximum uptime. If there is any issue with one of the services, another service is always available. It is pay-as-you-go. You don't have to spend any money upfront. You use the service and pay after one month or a couple of hours of use."
"There are many different components such as SaaS, PaaS, and API so every month they are releasing a few hundred new features."
"Technical support, from what I understand, is quite helpful and we speak with them regularly."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is its ease of use."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is the account management side. This involves tasks such as assigning credentials to different individuals, managing user accounts, and implementing Privileged Access Management."
"The cycle development time is pretty fast, and there's very good coupling within the whole set of Microsoft tools, from database to the ETL engine, ingestion through Azure Data Factory, then modeling Synapse Analytics, and reporting through Power BI."
"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 need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"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."
"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."
"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 is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"The alerts management should be improved. Alerts management is very complicated to configure. You have to go through a lot of tests and config action groups to set up those things. It is very complicated, and it can be simplified."
"The solution should emulate what MuleSoft is doing. At the moment MuleSoft has a lot of other features compared to Azure API integration."
"Security could be better. Once there was an attack, and we couldn't get to the cloud to see the reports for about five hours."
"The pricing needs to be a bit lower. It's an expensive solution right now."
"The pricing could be better."
"Microsoft Azure can be pretty advanced and difficult to understand. I would like it to be simplified. The licensing especially needs to be simplified."
"Technical support needs to be better."
"Their backup strategy is a little complex which racks up the VM to other sole storage areas. This should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"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 improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"The dashboard is not organized."
