We have lots of in-built connectors.""We save enormous amounts of time in development using this tool.""No need to import libraries from outside the environment.""My client has been able to improve productivity with the use of the tool. The solution has them develop several tools that addressed their specific needs. They have become more efficient and safe with the use of the product.""I find it to be the easiest server-side technology for website development.

Cons
"Need to be able to Be able to inject Python, Java, Groovy, or PHP code into a CFML page.""The solution needs to improve its adaption capability with a third-party company. I want to see more communities or open knowledge resources with the tool.""ColdFusion’s third-party authentication is currently limited to just a couple of companies, like Google and Facebook, and a few third-party SAML authenticators. From my personal perspective, adding LinkedIn and Microsoft would greatly benefit me.""Installation of the server software was formidable due the number of configurable options.""Previously when I was trying to create some data, it was very difficult to get real-time data from Workfront.""There is not much third party authenticators in this solution"

More Adobe ColdFusion Cons →

"The dashboard is not organized.""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.""There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness.""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.""I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."". 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.""They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time.""The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
