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 solution's technical support was very good."
"The most valuable feature is the instant availability of resources."
"The solution has enabled us to provide advanced indicators and analytics to the client on their data."
"I think the most useful feature has been the remote desktop. It has been very helpful when customers have old applications that are not architected to run remotely."
"The most valuable features of the solution are for management, such as dashboards."
"The cycle development time is pretty fast, and there's very good coupling within the whole set of Microsoft tools, from database to the ETL engine, ingestion through Azure Data Factory, then modeling Synapse Analytics, and reporting through Power BI."
"We are using Microsoft Azure because our organization uses a lot of Microsoft solutions. We have used Microsoft technology for a long time and we have internal engineers with great capability that understand the technology. This is why Azure is the best for us."
"Much more intuitive and more visual than AWS. More obvious where things are and how to change their configurations, etc."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"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 reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"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."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"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)."
"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."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"Microsoft Azure needs to be simplified to make it better understood for users."
"Could be more user friendly; initial setup is difficult to understand."
"There should be be better support for microservices and containers."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced functionality in terms of information security."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by having the availability be 100%. Which is difficult, but not impossible."
"Virtual networks might be improved by adding more rules for the validation of protocols and peripheral elements in security assurance."
"Due to the pandemic, I haven't been able to utilize their full resources. This has made it complicated to scale up. I hope this will be resolved after the pandemic."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"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."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
