Easy to Use, Powerful Automations Beyond Excel
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the range of things I can do with it -- it can do things I wish I could figure out in Excel (easy things) and it can automate processes linked up with Softr and other services (much more complext)
What do you dislike about the product?
It's expensive for me, a low-income self-employed consultant.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it in many different ways. I built an app with Softr and Airtable holds and manages all the data. I track grants from loi to reporting. We've used it to create maps on our website. Many things.
Easy-to-Use Airtable That Streamlines Team Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing that i like about Airtable is how easy it is to use the tool. The tool simply helps me sort out my project management in the team. We can quickly create projects where we can easily track all our activities with complete automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that i dislike about Airtable is that it sometimes gets hallucinated when managing big projects. It struggles at times with large data and faces performance delays.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that Airtable is solving for me is automation with easy project tracking. Be it Google sheets, Docs, or any other software, all my workflow is managed easily.
User-Friendly Project Management with Airtable
What do you like best about the product?
I find Airtable's interface easy for collaboration and task management. I appreciate its customer support, functionality, and layout. It also offers the ability to administer the platform easily for our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems like a glorified excel spreadsheet, automations seem to be lacking.

Engaging UI with Easy Automation, Slight Limitations
What do you like best about the product?
I like Airtable because it's a lightweight database that's not as complex as SQL yet highly functional. The presentable UI is a standout, allowing data to be showcased in various ways that make it more engaging and understandable. I appreciate the ability to change views to suit different needs, and the easy collaboration it offers through integration with automation platforms I use. The filters and customization, like adding regex formulas, make data manipulation flexible and valuable. Airtable’s simple UI and good UX are great even for non-technical users, making it easy for my team to navigate and find comfort with the platform. Overall, the structured approach and broad view options are a big plus for showcasing and understanding data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've faced a limitation with Airtable, particularly on the automation side that I work on. When entering data in an automated way, there's a limitation of only 10 data points that can be automated at a time. This is a big limitation for me, especially with projects that have around 100 to 200 items. I have to iterate every time, which consumes more credits instead of just pushing all the items in one go. It would be better if the limit could be increased from 10 to maybe 50 or 100.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to store data in a presentable and organized way. Its engaging UI and view customization enhance data insight extraction. It's lightweight compared to SQL databases, supports easier collaboration, and smoothly integrates with my automation platforms.
Customizable but Feels Like a Glorified Excel
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Airtable is quite customizable compared to its competitors. I can add or delete columns based on what I'm working on, and I also have the ability to filter and hide different customizations that I've made. Also, the initial setup of Airtable was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it feels like a glorified Excel sheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps manage projects with multiple owners and offers customization by allowing me to add, delete, filter, and hide columns. It's more customizable than competitors.
Airtable: A Flexible and Powerful Platform for Building Business Systems Fast
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable is the flexibility to build real business systems without starting from a heavy development process. As a business automation consultant, I use Airtable for many different clients, and it allows me to design databases, connect processes, create interfaces, and automate repetitive work in one platform.
The biggest value for me is that Airtable is both simple enough for business users and powerful enough for complex workflows. I can start with a clear data structure, add relationships between tables, build views for different teams, and then connect automations or external tools when needed. The integrations are very important for my work, because Airtable can become the center of the process and still connect to tools like forms, email, project management platforms, Make, Zapier, n8n and custom APIs.
I also like the Interface Designer very much. It helps me create clean working screens for users, so they do not need to see the full database behind the system. This makes adoption much easier, especially for teams that are moving from spreadsheets or manual processes. In most cases, users understand the system quite quickly, and there is also good documentation and community knowledge that helps with onboarding and support.
From a performance point of view, Airtable is usually stable and responsive for the operational systems I build. Of course, when the solution becomes very complex, it is important to design the base correctly, but with good architecture it works well for many business use cases.
For pricing and ROI, I think the value is strong. It can save a lot of development time and reduce manual work, so for many companies the return is much faster than building a custom system from zero. The AI and intelligence features are also interesting, especially for things like summarizing information, classifying records, and helping teams get insights from their data.
For me, Airtable is not just a database tool. It is a strong foundation for building practical operational systems quickly, while still keeping the solution organized, scalable, and easy to improve over time.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Airtable is that when a base becomes more complex, it can be harder to manage and maintain over time. Airtable is very flexible, but this also means that if the architecture is not planned well from the beginning, the system can become messy with many views, fields, automations, and dependencies.
Another point is performance. For small and medium solutions Airtable works very well, but in larger bases with many records, linked tables, lookups, rollups, and automations, sometimes the experience can become slower. This is especially important when clients use Airtable as a core operational system and not only as a simple database.
I also think the pricing can become a challenge for some clients. The value is usually strong, but when a company needs many users, advanced permissions, interfaces, automations, or AI features, the total cost can grow quite fast. For smaller businesses, this sometimes makes the decision harder.
In addition, I would like to see more advanced native tools for documentation, change tracking, and automation debugging. As an implementer, it is important for me to understand what changed, why an automation failed, and how different parts of the system are connected.
Overall, I still think Airtable is a very strong platform, but these areas can make complex implementations more challenging and require good planning and governance.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is solving for me and for my clients: how to move from spreadsheets, manual updates, emails, and disconnected tools into one organized operational system.
As a business automation consultant, I use Airtable to help companies structure their information in a clear way. Instead of having data in many Excel files or different systems, Airtable allows me to create one source of truth with connected tables, views, permissions, interfaces, and automations.
Airtable also helps reduce manual work. Many processes that were done by copy-paste, follow-up emails, or manual status updates can be automated. This saves time, reduces mistakes, and gives managers better visibility into what is happening in the business.

Flexible, No-Code Platform with a Slick Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I like Airtable for its great workflow and slick interface that make it really easy to go from concept to implementation quickly. I also find it more flexible than prebuilt products while not requiring any coding, which is a big plus. Setting it up was quite easy too.

Highly Efficient, User-Friendly, and Versatile
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to make projects in Airtable that are dynamic and provide many views for different projects and team members. It integrates well with our workflows and is very easy to use, but also offers complex problem-solving tools. As we work through different aspects of a project, I appreciate being able to review an overall view of the project or get more granular with individual tasks. We switched to Airtable because it was more robust and had better features. The transition was made easier by integrating our Sales POS system into the platform along with our production tasks. The introduction library from Airtable was very helpful for training our team, despite the initial learning curve for some members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would just like more integrations that are native to the platform to avoid having to use Zapier. I just find that some tasks that I would like to automate are not available sometimes when researching new products to work into our tech stack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable for managing social posts, assets, and project management tasks like inventory and sales tracking. It's easy to create dynamic projects with different views, integrates well with workflows, and provides complex problem-solving tools.
