Comments on: Intuit Updates QuickBase, Will You Use It? http://gigaom.com/collaboration/quickbase/ Fri, 25 May 2012 02:59:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: What is Quicken? http://gigaom.com/collaboration/quickbase/#comment-51790 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:02:35 +0000 http://webworkerdaily.wordpress.com/2006/10/31/quickbase/#comment-51790 I’m actually scared of quicken now, and I’ve switched to KMyMoney. It’s a lot simpler, and it doesn’t force me to upgrade when I don’t want to. I don’t think that business users will find it very useful, but for my home use it’s great.

It just works for so many daily needs, and for the few situations it turns out to be not as useful as other tools, the cost of trying to use it is low enough to be negligible. Also, the API is straightforward and robust enough to extend QuickBase’s usefulness well beyond what is available in its web UI at a relatively low cost.

QuickBase is designed for “ordinary folk”, i.e., not engineers, to design these critical apps for their business… to really fit to their workflow/processes. It is amazing what can be done by someone who simply knows the process well. It is really brilliant in its simplicity, which is Intuit’s strength.

That said, QuickBase has a quite robust API to answer to the needs of the engineer. It is http+xml based, and I’ve also seen amazing things using those capabilities, including integration into the SAPs, JD Edwards, and other big iron systems, which is where it would be most compared to Sharepoint Services.

Hope that helps!
Jana

It’s incredibly annoying and absolutely indispensable at the same time. My biggest nit against it has always been that it hasn’t taken enough advantage of AJAX-driven direct manipulation of data. I’m looking forward to their recent updates.
