Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."In terms of managing and configuring infrastructures, Azure is fairly good."
"I like the ExpressRoute because that makes it easy to configure connectivity to Azure-hosted services."
"The stability is very good. The performance is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the possibility of using Microsoft and non-Microsoft services on one environment."
"This product is quite easy to use and is available on-demand."
"The incorporation of several kinds of storage, such as SSD Premium, enhanced the performance of machines."
"The solution has high stability."
"The solution is useful for handling large amounts of data."
"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 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 product is easy to use."
"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."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"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."
"I would say an improvement could be allowing for more external, third-party tools. However, I think that's their vision, how they develop the product."
"It could be more flexible. If you look at all Mircosoft products, they are not up to the mark. For example, Azure Ready doesn't provide the same kind of access a domain administrator has and the kind of flexibility that they have when using Active Directory. Microsoft support could be better. Their service could also be better. For example, specific policies for templates suddenly become unavailable. When I checked, they said that certain things might be withdrawn based on customer feedback. This happened once or twice, and it wasn't available at all for five days, it just went down."
"I would like to see all of the cloud providers be more compatible with each other."
"The solution needs a more integrated password feature."
"There are so many services available that the interface is a little bit messy, and when you're looking for a specific service, you have to know exactly where to search."
"From a security perspective, it could be improved."
"It would be helpful if Azure provided more information on the various add-ons to give people an understanding of what they are used for, and how they're applied by other companies or businesses."
"The design of the platform is not so easy to navigate. It's not very user-friendly."
"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."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"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."
"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."
