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)."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."
"The most important thing is we don't have to maintain any physical infrastructure. With typical conventional on-premise solutions, we have to maintain many things like the hardware, clusters, etc. With this cloud platform, you don't have to worry about all those things. We have the service always available, and this is the main advantage. I like that we use everything on our standard Active Directory on on-premises on Azure. The key advantage is that you can have the sole indication based on the cloud. This isn't possible with an on-premise Active Directory. This enables work from home and at the office because it's on the cloud."
"The ability to scale down is a big thing."
"The data factory feature."
"The management part of it is good. Its UI is simple to use. The cost management and billing part is also good. These are the top things that I like in Azure."
"There are a lot of valuable features in Microsoft Azure, such as Kubernetes, pipelines, and development environments."
"There are plenty of functions available that we have used extensively. It is a complete platform of services."
"The solution does a lot of coding and customization, and can go live quickly."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"The product is easy to use."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by having more virtual machine operating systems available."
"The support team is not responding to my emails."
"The Azure Billing API could be so much better. It only provides billing metrics for a set duration."
"A problem with Azure is that the architecture that they have is not really compliant — not really connecting with the endpoint Cloud."
"Maybe Azure could add an address code to create your analysis without SQL or Python because some business users don't want it to code. So it's good to have a service application that connects to the data lake to conduct analysis and simplify the business process."
"I think it would be good to keep making progress on giving users the ability to do action calls on Data Factory. Right now, it's mostly local. Perhaps Microsoft could add the ability to put some calls in the workflow."
"There is a need to be better on-premise solutions that are more helpful. However, I don't think that is the goal of Microsoft Azure. They want the solution to be secure cloud solutions with cloud applications. This is their main goal at the moment."
"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"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."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"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."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
