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 is easy to use."
"Technical support has been extremely helpful."
"If you're interested in going with Microsoft, my advice would be to do it. Everybody's using Microsoft."
"Microsoft has a lot of partners in this area, and they have a lot of information available online, so it's easy to get support."
"Microsoft Azure is built for scalability."
"It has multiple features that can be used from the start."
"I have found all the features to be good."
"We have found the user interface to be intuitive. Microsoft is a master at UI."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"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)."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"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."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"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."
"They can add more documentation about the solution."
"Some of the capabilities available in an on-premise SQL Server aren't available in Azure. For instance, we found Azure Managed Instance to be lacking in certain aspects. One of our clients decided to stay on-premise rather than migrate to Azure because of this reason."
"If you compare it with AWS, it is not very friendly to use. I find the UI better to work with on AWS."
"While integrating services from different vendors, the perceived costs are high, with occasional confusion about specific charges, especially in data transfer scenarios between regions."
"The solution could be easier to use. However, when comparing it to AWS it is a bit easier."
"I don't understand why we spend so much time and money on Azure when Microsoft relies on third-party companies for support in the CSP model. I don't know how the support model works within Microsoft, but giving it to poor-performing third-party companies is not ideal."
"It is constantly updating. There are weekly releases, sometimes daily releases, and there should be fewer that are consolidated into one."
"The microservices and analytics of Azure are good areas that could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"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."
"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 the product to add more working processes."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"The dashboard is not organized."
