Pros

If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product.""It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases.""We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared.""This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data.""Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment.""I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy.""The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge.""QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."

"Different leads and fields can be utilized inside of Salesforce, using the Sales Path to follow those specific leads, and what leads convert over into opportunities. The leveraging of fields help to track progress on the user interface.""It is a one-stop shop for running anything related to sales. You can do a lot of things.""The most valuable features are custom objects, custom workflows, triggering, and integration with other SaaS solutions.""The dashboards and dashboard customization are great.""The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are ease of use.

Cons
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items.""The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work.""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.""Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. .""Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising.""I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate.""Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."

More QuickBase Cons →

"It is very clunky. Its interface can be more user-friendly. There is always way too much information going on in Salesforce. It puts too much on your screen. It gives you every piece of information in the world, whereas I need less. It would be nice for it to be cleaned up a bit.""It would be nice if they had an ERP offering or a firm strategic partnership with a best-in-class ERP. So rather than say they're just ERP agnostic, you would pick whichever ERP you want, which is very generic. I think it would have a lot of merit if they partnered strategically with a best-in-class trusted ERP platform or acquired an ERP platform.""Applications that can help with migrating data over from the sandbox to production would make it easier because sometimes change sets can be bulky and they're not always as effective. This can be frustrating when you make a lot of changes and try to put those changes into production.""The cost of this solution could be improved.""The solution can be difficult to understand for customers of Salesforce.""The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful.""The user interface could be more intuitive. I had some challenges with how to convert from a lead to an opportunity.""I would like to see a more affordable licensing model."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
  • "We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
  • "Quickbase is probably not the cheapest app out there. That said, it is worth its weight in gold. There is no other app that I know of in the market today that can do what Quickbase does."
  • "You have to negotiate the price because it varies based on the number of users you have, as well as how much cloud storage space you need."
  • "It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
  • "The product is cheap when compared to other products."
  • "The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."
  • "The solution is expensive and geared toward enterprise-level clients."
  • More QuickBase Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
  • "I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
  • "The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
  • "My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
