| QuickBase
QuickBase puts your company's database applications
online, so that anyone in your organization can get customized, secure
Web access to anything from inventory to contact lists to product
management. You probably won't want to use it as an enterprise-scaled
database, but for almost anything else, it's an impressive Web-based
substitute for a server in your office. Unlike many current
cloud-computing services offered by no-name vendors, QuickBase is a
product of the long-established financial-software giant Intuit.
It gets our Editors' Choice rating partly because it's actually what
our editors chose: PCMag.com uses it to keep track of previews,
reviews, and other features. . . .
