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 valuable features of Microsoft Azure are that it is cloud-based and has good storage. The storage is completely managed by Azure. We do not need to do any patching of security because it is handled by Azure which is a benefit. The solution is fully compatible with the Microsoft technology stack and is very scalable."
"The most valuable features of Azure for me are its ease of management, recoverable virtual machines with backup support, excellent customer support, and user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is the single sign-on with multifactor authentication."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"In terms of scalability, it is perfect."
"We like that you sign in only once and that grants access to all of the Microsft applications, as well as others such as ServiceNow and SAP Concur."
"My experience with technical support so far is very good."
"It comes with a lot of ready-made studies that we can connect with other existing Microsoft applications, for example, Office, Outlook, Chatline, and OneDrive. Everything is behind the scenes running with Azure. It's easy to build the connectors."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"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 am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"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."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"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."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"The deployment was quite complex."
"The support subscription models need improvement."
"We need more security to be available on our smartphones and mobile devices."
"The pricing can be reduced."
"The diagnostics should have more logs."
"Microsoft Azure can improve by adding more features for virtual machines, such as tier virtual machines."
"Onboarding customers is a challenge. Sometimes our customers don't know how to deal with the cloud environment. Maybe the customers are more comfortable with the old-fashioned on-premise environment."
"An issue I encountered was around the integration of Identity. I lost some important information and I would like to see improvements with this."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"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 the product to add more working processes."
". 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."
"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."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
