Sophisticated product for project management and asset management
What do you like best about the product?
- Unique (especially) grid and gallery views - easy to use, good edit and sort options;
- Easy option to create a subtask for each row;
- Import / export project options;
- Gallery view drag and drop is good to use;
- Used grid view to create level database - it was near perfect UI for this particular task (overl 3000 levels are stored within one view and it's properly optimized.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Importing the project has had downsides - some tags and card / task properties were lost when we transitioned. Also, the minimum paid plan had fewer possibilities than similar projects;
- Calendar, Timeline and Gantt are not really intuitive to set up;
One small downside was that we could not set up GIF cover for entry with multiple videos - hopefully, that will have some workaround soon.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our particular case's main use case was to create an art asset data base on grid view. When we became better at this kind of tools, we started to transition our level database to Airtable - and that worked out great. We still use it to this day.
Breaks down barriers to collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to customize and jump right in. There can be a steep learning curve to do complex tasks, but otherwise, it's easy to start and build out your bases and tables. It's also great there is a free option, and very easy to use with external teams and manage visibility of content. I like that it's not rigid, if you want something to happen, there is usually a way to do it.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are short on their support. There is little to no live help and it can take days to get a report response. I also wish that it had the functionality to see a "my assignments section". Airtable has the ability to tag collaborators, but although the software is collaborative, it's hard to a) see an aggregated view of where your name is assigned in user fields and b) the ability to communicate as a team without connecting it to a record. It would be great to have messaging per table or per base to keep the team apprised.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating one place to track data and build workflows. Getting rid of spreadsheets, duplicative information, and building team transparency. It is also being tested for client transparency and communication.
Great tool for managing files and data
What do you like best about the product?
Easily to use and integrate with other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes some users' flow are not so easy to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing data related to the project and sharing it with our team members.
Approachable spreadsheet-based management
What do you like best about the product?
The software is easy to use across desktop and mobile, and can be applied to a variety of organizational tasks, record keeping, project management, etc via a slick interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
For complex project management, deeper software such as Smartsheet may be more useful but for smaller organizations or project management and record keeping with limited scope, Airtable is easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable to keep track of inventories of our proprietary scientific materials that are not easily tracked through a traditional laboratory/compound management platform.
Airtable is indispensable to my workflow as a communications professional
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is what would result if Excel and Trello had a baby. It has all the powers of a spreadsheet/database tool, with all the beauty of a visual content management system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've tried out the email automation function and it is quite clunky. I wanted to receive reminder emails based on specific parameters but couldn't specify them using the basic options available. (I think if I could write scripts, I might be able to get it to work precisely the way I'm hoping for, but I lack that skill.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a comms professional who not only oversees every piece of content published on our website, but also manages the distribution/promotion of that content on many different channels. Using Airtable, I am able to create one record per content piece, and by simply selecting various filters and/or checkboxes (that I set up and can continually customize), I'm able to specify which channels I want to push it out to, and have that appear in different views, for team members assisting me with day-to-day tasks. Without Airtable, I would absolutely not be able to manage the development and creation of our digital content along specifying its distribution as easily.
Great way of visualising things
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and ability to show complex matrix of information
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes you come across limitations but on the whole its never too inhibiting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides a great way of visualising team structures within our business
Cool Excel-like Software
What do you like best about the product?
I find its best used for non-technical personnel. Great for organizing tasks and set automation. Very customizable, drag and drop features are helpful. Real time notes and reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a useful too but if budget is limited I think a tool like Asana or even google sheets isn't too far off. Airtable definitely is better than google sheets but for the price it can be up for debate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team mostly uses it to plan for projects, and set up directories tracking owners, connections and being able to add custom notes is very helpful for our team.
Airtable could use some improvement but overall I am a fan.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the communication features in Airtable and how easy it is to use and learn. I like that it is customizable and that you can type with emojis when providing feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Airtable can be very slow at times and feel like it's crashing often when I am using it. It will lag and take time to update. I think it needs to be easier to submit bundle feedback as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps to keep things organized. I use it to submit scripts to a studio and receive back the produced audio spots that I requested. It is simple to provide details of what I need and submit feedback easily.
Easy-to-use and customizable tool with integrated features, but the price is high
What do you like best about the product?
I found its interface easy to use as I can customize things on the dashboard. Even without experience with databases and spreadsheets, I can understand the data flow.
Also with its customizable workflows and templates, I can manage projects more efficiently. In addition to making it easier to collaborate with team members who use different platforms, integration capabilities make it easier.

What do you dislike about the product?
Despite having the ability to combine spreadsheet and database functionality, it is not as powerful as dedicated spreadsheet software for me.
And, If I only need basic features, paid plans are quite expensive for a small team.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Custom databases in this tool have been very helpful in saving me time and reducing the risk of errors associated with transferring data between different applications.
Also, I loved that way they provide integration capabilities with other software applications, such as Zapier and Google Drive. This made collaborations more seamless with others.
