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 time to market is fast compared back to the traditional on-premise hosting. That is one of the better things I can say because there is no need to worry. The Pack services will enable it to start immediately."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its ease of use."
"The stability has been excellent."
"The platform's user-friendliness eliminates the need for lengthy training periods, enabling swift navigation for new users."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of use."
"We find that it is easy to integrate with other Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Office."
"The most valuable feature is the single sign-on with multifactor authentication."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"The product is easy to use."
"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 reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"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."
"I think better accelerators and better tools that can be used to migrate and leverage the existing models and data schemas are needed."
"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."
"The security feature in the solution is an area that needs to be improved."
"We have reported some bugs we encountered, and it would be good if those bugs were resolved more quickly."
"The support subscription models need improvement."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by being more secure."
"Security could be better. Once there was an attack, and we couldn't get to the cloud to see the reports for about five hours."
"There are multiple DevOps solutions and tools available in Microsoft Azure, but most of the time they are either in the build mode, meaning you don't get complete support for them because they are either making changes, or changing the names of the particular services. Sometimes, services vanish from the portal. We are not able to see that. I think they actually change the names of the services."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"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."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"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."
". 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."
