We performed a comparison between QuickBase and Salesforce Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"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)."
"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."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate Salesforce Platform's technical support a ten out of ten."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse."
"What functions we don't get out of Salesforce, we typically receive from third-party applications that extend the capabilities. We integrate a lot of different products with Salesforce."
"The reporting capabilities are pretty user-friendly."
"What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view. I also enjoy managing opportunities in the Salesforce Platform a lot because it's easier and gives you a wider view, compared to HubSpot."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
". 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."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn."
"Some business functionalities could be improved."
"Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"The marketing automation needs improvement."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
