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)."Virtual machine services, in SaaS services, M365, and Data Lake are all popular with our clients."
"The solution is useful for handling large amounts of data."
"The scalability is good."
"It is a flexible solution that is straightforward to use."
"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."
"The ability to create the actual resource on the private cloud is easy to manage with Microsoft Azure."
"I like the ExpressRoute because that makes it easy to configure connectivity to Azure-hosted services."
"There are many useful features. We use web apps, so instead of starting a web server, we just have machines running some web services. This was helpful for us in terms of the scalability of the application. We also use Active Directory for authentication and some services for the data backup. It is a very good and reliable solution. It was easy to implement this solution. It fits very well into our plans and covers our needs to provide infrastructure in the cloud. The portal to configure new resources is very easy, and it is very easy to allocate new resources."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"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)."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"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 product is easy to use."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"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."
"Predictability and quality. Make sure things work predictable, as expected, and documented."
"They should optimize their pricing so that we can use more features. I would also like to see more auditing and more security for the Blob storage feature. From a technical point, it has very good features for Microsoft products, but for non-Microsoft products, it may have some limitations. I have mostly worked with Windows-based integration, and now I am trying to use it for open-source systems. It is good but not as easy as Microsoft products."
"I would like to see this solution support integration."
"The subscription licensing is very complex and we would like to have it simplified."
"We have faced some challenges trying to deploy a new ESP application."
"You eventually end up with a large collection of 'bits' all working together, I find it hard to be able to create a logical 'box' and put all the 'bits' that need to be in that box / application into the one place."
"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."
"Integration with more platforms needs improvement."
"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."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"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."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"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."
