I am employed at a startup that specializes in the production of aviation-related goods.

What is most valuable?
Airtable stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Its intuitive navigation ensures a smooth experience, allowing users to easily explore and comprehend its functionalities. Moreover, Airtable offers powerful automation capabilities that enhance efficiency. One particularly advantageous aspect is the seamless linking of databases, enabling the effortless creation of relational databases. Overall, this feature has proven to be immensely valuable and has been the primary focus of my usage.
What needs improvement?
The interfaces provided by the company have certainly undergone significant improvements since their earlier versions. The growth and progress have been remarkable. I have personally shared numerous feedback points and observed the prompt implementation of changes within a few months, which is highly commendable. However, I must admit that I have encountered several challenges with their interfaces.
In terms of the interface, there are certain improvements I would suggest. For instance, a global search feature is currently absent, which would greatly enhance usability. Additionally, incorporating a search function within automation would be highly beneficial. The current limitation of fifty automation per base is insufficient for our needs and could be expanded. Moreover, there is a need for a longer native time delay in automation to allow for more flexible syncing. Currently, the syncing time is set at approximately three to five minutes, which could be increased for smoother operations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Airtable for approximately two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
If I were to evaluate it from the perspective of an individual consumer, I would give it a solid rating of nine out of ten. However, when utilizing it for my company, I have encountered some challenges. For instance, there have been occasional instances of table downtime, as evident from their Twitter feeds. Although the occurrences were not frequent, they occurred around once or twice per month. Additionally, there have been some speed issues and internal bugs that I have reported, which the company promptly addressed and resolved. While these may seem minor, they can become more impactful when operating with a larger user base, such as in the case of my company with over fifty users, placing us in a somewhat difficult situation.
I rate the stability of Airtable a five out of ten
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have approximately 50 users using this solution in my company.
For our company will have to stop using the solution at some point and move to another one.
How are customer service and support?
I have used the support many times and sometimes the support response could be quicker.
I rate the support from Airtable a six out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is extremely easy and it can take approximately 30 minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are utilizing the free version of the software, which adequately meets most of our requirements. As we explore the higher-end versions, we have noticed that the primary distinctions lie in the number of records and usage limitations. However, the free version offers comprehensive functionality, and the disparity between the free and paid versions is minimal, with only a few minor differences.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We conducted a thorough comparison of various similar products, and we found that this particular one was the most user-friendly. Unlike other options, there was no need to invest in additional services or buy extra time for building. It didn't require extensive technical knowledge either. Personally, coming from a non-software background, I have been able to utilize it effectively and create complex versions without much difficulty.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others.
The solution offers a high level of user-friendliness, making it accessible even to non-technical individuals. It holds significant value for small business setups, personal use, and startups like ours. The ability to customize it according to our specific requirements is particularly advantageous. We can easily comprehend its functionalities and swiftly create workflows. Additionally, the platform provides numerous third-party app integrations, allowing us to transform it into a more robust application. This makes it incredibly powerful for quickly starting and building projects with minimal technical knowledge. It truly enables anyone to utilize it effectively. Personally, I have a deep appreciation for the solution and its capabilities.
For individual users and in our specific use cases, setting up servers has been incredibly straightforward and highly beneficial. However, as we expand and scale our operations, we have encountered some obstacles along the way. Nonetheless, the platform remains user-friendly, and its automation capabilities are notably powerful. Through the setup process, we have been able to create functionalities that closely resemble those of fully coded software, all achieved with minimal coding knowledge. This ability to accomplish complex tasks with low code and no significant background knowledge is truly satisfying. Additionally, the intuitive color scheme and easily understandable views contribute to a pleasing user experience.
The tool is truly exceptional, offering a well-designed interface and remarkable ease of use. It represents a significant leap from using Excel, yet individuals familiar with Excel can easily adapt to and utilize it effectively.
I would recommend this solution to others.
I rate Airtable an eight out of ten.
