I like that it is user friendly, drag and drop feature makes it easy to run ad hoc reports. Love the line item detail and notes feature in the templates.

Great experience for me. We have a dedicated business systems resource on our team who helps a lot.

The ability to integrate reports directly with system data pulls is a very nice feature that can help reduce the complexity of workbooks.

I like the functionality of the program and ease of use.

It makes month end easier. Great customer service team always there when help is needed.

Collaboration can also be difficult, as the individual models are fragile and must be updated online.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Once set it is good and there are no worries.

Upload of transactional data allows for greater degree of self-service research of budget variances on the part of budget owners.

The interface is pretty dated. I also mainly use chrome as my browser and there seems to be a lag time when scrolling in a template which is a bit of a pain.

I like being able to quickly and easily navigate to what I need. I like the user interface and options given upon login.

Host Analytics has greatly improved our team's capability to quickly consolidate & close each month.

Getting benefits in terms of financial analysis and setting up consistent reporting standards.

I dont like that to complete certificaiton, all users have to attend real life class.

I originally got into Host for budgeting and it has been great for that, but I have found it great for many other things. I also love the way it can grow with me.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Not all the modules have the same reporting tools.

Good planning tool that integrates well with excel.

Customer service is second to none. In my 30+ years in planning and analysis, I have never found a team so dedicated to ensuring their customer's success.

I was never able to go live. Never got any value out of it and they made me pay for 2 years.

It's extremely user friendly, easy to use, and allows our team to quickly consolidate, close and provide detailed financial reports each month.

The inability to do calculations in the report without creating a new template. Also as we are on Macs the inability to use spotlight in Mac Excel.

The planning tool helped us standardize our budgeting process and we're very impressed with the workforce planning module that helped us easily managing our headcount and compensation estimate.

We love the ease and flexibility of the tool. The monthly releases mean that the product is constantly making improvements.

A data pull is not immediate and can cause some frustration if data is not pulled 100% accurately the first time.

Our planning process runs more smoothly and efficiently again with less errors. We are able to consolidate our plans quicker.

OVerall is a great tool for the ease of standardizing and managing  our reports.

Quick Base is a solid way to visualize and share data with controls. It serves well as a data repository and tool for displaying large data sets.

The forms and intuitive charts are one among the best things in QuickBase apart from APIs and custom pages.

It can integrate with other tools such as excel, salesforce and others that help with making work super easy for us managers.

Apps can be set to not be available to all employees -- which is useful for both security, as well as efficiency. I like not having to browse 99 tabs to find the one I need.

Overall Quick Base looks like an extremely useful tool for our team. In just a few short weeks we are noticing improvement across multiple areas.

It's hard to get started developing these because they don't have developer accounts, and the trial is only 30 days long.

Quick Base allows businesses to be agile and build either applications for the long term or ad hoc apps for short term use. Customer support is extremely responsive and helpful.

The QuickBase sales and support (all-important) teams respond rapidly, have good ideas, and want to see their customers succeed.

It was a nice program, just too expensive for our small company needs.

We were really excited about the features in quickbase, particularly the ability to edit columns and other fields after databases were initially created.

This software lacks a lot of features that should be integrated and contacting support can be a pain.

Quick Base is very simple and easy to use even for first time users which makes it incredibly efficient when it comes to implementation.

The best database platform for building customized solutions.

Great for automation, team-collaboration database creation and implementation.

Constant error messages after editing your data.

I have also tried a few other similar tools out there and nothing comes close. Main downside is it's on the pricy side and sometimes hard to justify recommending to my clients and associates.

The ability to input data via mobile phone is awesome as well.

Great customer support - I always get an almost immediate response, with great follow-through. Reliability - all things considered, it is down very seldom.

It takes a lot of clicks to get somewhere. A minor issue really, but I find it irritating to have to 10 things to get what I want because the search function isn't particularly sensitive.

I like usig Quckbase, it's very dynamic and helps you to build any apps and template easy.

Lots of positive notes on the ease of use side, however, not all applications are supported.

If a server goes down, all work has to stop. The same thing stops if it's overloaded.

The ability to generate reports with or without SQL is a great advantage filtering is very responsive and in all very intuitive with data.

There are better, simpler programs for it. I use it to track thousands of tiny, moving bits of information, and while I wouldn't say it's perfect -- it does a darn good job.

We can put a new person in one of our modules and show them how to use it straight away. There are more advanced features that  we use but those are also easy to come up to speed on.

With tons of features, it can be difficult to learn - especially when someone else initially created the app.

Graphical interface gives good reporting of metrics. Easy to use as a ticketing and request tool for interactions with clients.

Excellent tool, but licensing and pricing make it less ubiquitous.

This platform is for businesses both large and small. Easy to train our clients to use; they love it, too.

It's functional but it's very limited in what you can do. I end up going into it through the website.

It's based on laymen's programming language. They have pretty good customer service.

Able to easily code alerting to employees based on alerts, allow them to manage assignments and tasks, keep track of their projects and schedule, and ultimately save our company money.

First of all, the price is so cheap for that kind of service and features. The software is super flexible and customizable.
