Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared.""It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments.""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.""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.""I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy.""It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases.""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)."

"While using Zoho Creator, we can establish alternative interfaces to connect with Zoho applications. This enables us to run desired automation and workflows without exhausting the API limits.""The product’s MIS feature is very valuable to us.""It is very easy to build applications on the product.""The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality.""Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages. With Zoho Creator, users have the ability to utilize HTML and CSS to create visually appealing pages that are rich in information, utilizing data from the system itself. This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator.""Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts.""Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick.""We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."

Cons
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate.""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.""The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items.""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.""They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time.""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.""Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility.""This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve.​"

More QuickBase Cons →

"They should allow for more UI customization.""Zoho Creator's UX design needs to be improved.""The platform's technical support services need improvement.""I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability.""They still don't have a PDF conversion feature.""The user interface and the user experience should be improved.""Zoho Creator could benefit from improvement in regard to the user interface and user experience of the forms. The forms themselves could benefit from being made more interactive, with increased flexibility and customization options for both developers and users. This would allow for a more engaging experience when interacting with the forms and provide more opportunities for customization to meet individual needs and preferences.""The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
