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)."Active Directory is a good feature. The infrastructure features that Azure provides are also good."
"Being cloud-based saves the provisioning aspect of an on-premises solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are ease of use and the enhancements are continually being updated."
"It is easy to install."
"The solution is stable."
"We find that it is easy to integrate with other Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Office."
"It's a flexible solution."
"Azure has improved my organization because it is a new technology and so the customers who don't have enough knowledge about the cloud delegate the administration of their cloud infrastructure to us. We incorporate and add a new service to our product lineup about how to manage their Azure. It impacts our business because we're able to incorporate this new service."
"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 product is easy to use."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"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."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"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)."
"The solution could improve by providing a better user interface and more organized workflows."
"Their backup strategy is a little complex which racks up the VM to other sole storage areas. This should be improved."
"We use Microsoft Server 2019 and 2016. And I didn't like the 2019 client, so we had to downgrade back to 2016. The main issue there was its monitoring system. Our client needed an alternative, and if they were using more Windows products, they also needed to make that downgrade."
"We had issues with the Mobile Service ORM and the Azure SQL Database (cloud version of SQL Server). At times, the queries that are created automatically from the ORM mapping are not very well optimized for this database and that can lead to performance and stability issues. On occasion, the connection manager from the ORM does not handle the database connections very well."
"Could be more user friendly; security features should be improved."
"While integrating services from different vendors, the perceived costs are high, with occasional confusion about specific charges, especially in data transfer scenarios between regions."
"Technical support needs to be better."
"I would want Microsoft Azure to provide some credits that can be used to test and validate Microsoft’s different solutions since it is an area where the product lacks."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
". 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."
"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."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"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."
