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 provides good performance and support."
"It is a reliable solution that is easy to set up."
"One advantage of using Azure is that clients can start with a low-cost entry in terms of hardware and scale as their business and user base grows. They don't need to allocate a large budget for infrastructure upfront."
"Azure offers broad compatibility with both structured and unstructured data. For example, we use PostgreSQL for storing Azure's official data and manage various types of data, including tabular and image data, accommodating the storage of all data types we handle. So, in many ways, Azure simplified the data storage and management needs."
"I have not had a problem with the stability. It is reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is its ease of use."
"Technical support has been extremely helpful."
"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."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"The product is easy to use."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"The documentation can be outdated and is not as clear in Microsoft Azure as it is in AWS or Google."
"If you compare it with AWS, it is not very friendly to use. I find the UI better to work with on AWS."
"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."
"At this point, the latency is too high to use Azure in our production environment."
"It can be improved in terms of ease of billing or monitoring of the billing. That gets to be a little difficult."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The initial setup is quite complex because of the number of options that are available."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by having the availability be 100%. Which is difficult, but not impossible."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"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."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"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 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."
"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."
