Flexible database solution that revolutionized our project management approach
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitive interface combines the familiarity of spreadsheets with the power of relational databases seamlessly. Custom views and filtering options allow each team member to see exactly the data they need for their role. The automation features have eliminated countless manual tasks and reduced human error in our processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing can become expensive quickly as you add more users and need advanced features like automations. Some complex reporting capabilities require workarounds or third-party integrations to achieve desired results. The learning curve for advanced features like complex formulas and scripting can be challenging for less technical users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable solved our major challenge of managing customer success data across disconnected spreadsheets and systems that led to duplicate work and missed opportunities. Previously, our team struggled with version control issues and couldn't easily track relationships between accounts, contacts, and projects. The lack of real-time collaboration meant important updates were often missed or delayed.

Improving Efficiency with Airtable AI
What do you like best about the product?
This platform makes us so powerful without even knowing much knowledge of Coding. There are no rigid templates but it can be created with just the AI tool which makes this platform very powerful and robust. The Capacity to integrate its platform is a big help while using this platform. I love the easy to login feature and user friendly Interface. The Automation feature of this platform is astounding. It will make user very effective with some learning. The pipelining is so good that there is hardly any chance that any project deadline will be missed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am satisfied with its robust feature but to very effective and efficient in using this software, one must do a lot of learning. I feel that the platform is little bit slow while implementing on my browser but it is manageable. I also wish that the cost of the Platform is a little lower that the current pricing.

The Automation in this solves most of the repetitive task increasing the efficiency. The Project pipelining become much easier with the availability of the structured formats.
Airtable- simple to use and great for formatting
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn. Allows you to take Excel or .csv data and create readable, nicely formatted PDFs or Word Documents. I used it daily for several months to take short qualitative and quantitative data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licenses can be expensive and there is a need to create the template for the format you want to export the data to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helped our nonprofits address the issue that we were collecting end user data in Excel and then needed to use those responses to make sleek, polished one-pagers in PDF. Airtable allowed us to import the Excel data, create a template and drag and drop selected fields into a new format.
Omni Makes Airtable a Powerful Backend Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I find Airtable really easy to set up, even though I had some initial issues with API connections. The AI assistant, Omni, is incredibly useful for building tables, saving me from the manual effort. It simplifies creating backends for my websites, making it more efficient compared to other options. The additional data fetching capabilities are impressive, especially with LLMs integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the integration of Airtable with APIs to be a bit challenging, especially when compared to Google Sheets where scripting is more intuitive and easier to manage. Additionally, I noticed a lack of sufficient content and guidance on the automation capabilities of Airtable. Despite its powerful database functionalities, not much information is readily available on how effectively it can be integrated with automation, especially in the context of AI. This makes it harder for users like me to fully leverage its potential as a backend solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to streamline backend development for websites, simplifying table creation with AI, and integrating easily with APIs, which enhances productivity and prevents crashes.
Airtable keeps our creative projects organized and stress free at GraphEra
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Airtable combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a database. At my agency, GraphEra, we manage multiple client projects, and Airtable helps us keep everything organized, visual, and easy to track. The flexibility of customizing views, fields, and automations makes it fit perfectly with the way my creative team works.
What do you dislike about the product?
he main drawback for me is the pricing when the team grows, it feels a bit heavy for a small creative agency like GraphEra. Also, some of the advanced automation features can be a little technical, and I wish they were more beginner friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is solving our biggest challenge of keeping client projects organized and timelines transparent. Before, we had tasks scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and notes, which often led to confusion. Now, everything is in one place, making collaboration smoother, reducing miscommunication, and saving us hours each week. This efficiency allows my team at GraphEra to focus more on creative work and deliver a better experience to our clients.
Flexible Alternative to Costly Systems
What do you like best about the product?
I can build dynamic, automated workflows in Airtable that go far beyond what Excel or Google Sheets allow. It’s not just a spreadsheet; it’s a flexible system that combines databases, project management, and automation all in one place. We use the system in our daily tasks to manage leave of absence request. Customer Support is super easy to reach with questions if you have the Enterprise plan and implementation is super easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Airtable allows third-party app creators to gatekeep certain features, instead of making those tools accessible to all users within the platform. All integrations aren't built the same, for example it's nearly impossible to integrate with Workday without a professional session with Airtable pros.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is helping us manage our workers compensation and leave of absence claims.
From Beginners to Advanced Users
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable can do as much or as little as you'd like. It can be a glorified Excel document or it can be a full project management system with automation and user interfaces.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you start to get into the more complex uses of AirTable and have multiple users, training and a general understanding is required. We also have to be weary of how people are using it, because someone could add something that breaks something else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AirTable has created one platform that multiple people with various jobs can utilize, so we're all talking together about the same project.
We also have people that are on the periphery of the organization that need access to some of the information, but not everything. With AirTable's interfaces, we can create a special view that they can access and submit information to, but not have to worry about messing up the data or automations. I can also automatically email someone via AirTable to submit new information or follow up.
Finally, I used to spend hours analyzing data and creating charts for presentation at the end of a project. With AirTable's Interfaces, the data is already in there and I can easily create a chart pulling exactly what I need.

What do you dislike about the product?
Too many options makes using it a bit more complex. Feel like I am not fully utilising it but at the same time it requires time commitment to learn all the functions.
API call limits on the free plan can be restrictive.
