Quickbase was recently recognized in Gartner’s April 2017 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise High-Productivity Application Platform as a Service (hpaPaaS). We’re very excited to be acknowledged by Gartner again; last year we were recognized in the March 2016 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Application Platform as a Service (aPaaS).

The Evolving aPaaS Market

Gartner defines the aPaaS market as one “that supports application development, deployment, and execution in the cloud.” Gartner identifies 2 classes of aPaaS: “High-productivity” PaaS supports declarative, model-driven design and one-step deployment. Such services typically create metadata and interpret that metadata at runtime; many allow optional procedural programming extensions. Various types of PaaS (xPaaS) support high productivity, whereas others support “high-control” features, primarily via APIs and third-generation languages (3GLs), with transparent access to the underlying infrastructure.

Out of the many vendors that provide high-productivity aPaaS as a public cloud service, we were one of the 14 selected in Gartner’s new hpaPaaS report.

We believe that as a business-user-centric no-code hpaPaaS platform, Quickbase’s positioning by Gartner in the “Niche Players” quadrant aligns well with our core strategy of providing our customers with a platform that’s built for business professionals from the ground up while offering their IT department an appropriate level of governance and control.

Understanding the Benefits of a No-code aPaaS

Quickbase is a no-code platform focused on ease of use with over 6,000 customers worldwide, optimized for use by business professionals and trusted by IT. To serve the needs of app builders in lines of business, our platform focuses on empowering business professionals to build simple to sophisticated applications with secure access to role-based reports and dashboards, automated workflows and data integration for real-time visibility and insights. All this is possible without having to write code or decide how and where to deploy these applications. We also provide an app marketplace (Quickbase Exchange) that offers hundreds of pre-built apps that can be used as is or highly customized as needed.

Our business-oriented features rate very highly among our customers who choose us to put ideas into action to solve problems quickly and easily every day while reducing IT backlog and development costs for their organizations.

Again, we’re thrilled to be recognized by Gartner and included in its new report for enterprise high-productivity aPaaS.
