"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"The product is easy to use."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"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."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"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."
"To me, one of the most powerful features of Smartsheet is being able to email others."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
"The tool reduces manual labour and it is user-friendly."
"The ability to build a quick dashboard and give management insight into the progress of the project itself is probably one of the most beneficial pieces."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"The most valuable feature of Smartsheet is it can be highly customized."
"We like Smartsheet's workflows, automation, and low-code capabilities. I don't know of any other project management tool with low-code functionality designed for project managers."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."

"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"Smartsheet could be improved to be a ticketing system. It would be nice to have a system to do everything."
"The main challenge with Smartsheet is that when you start putting components on the Smartsheet dashboard, they don't know about each other. So, if I filter something in one widget, or if I click on a region or a project ID, the other widget or component and the visualization that's on that dashboard don't change. It doesn't know about the other component."
"They should improve the solution's integration with API."
