Airtanle is what you have been looking for!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the interface, it's highly aesthetically appealing, and the different views and format to share information make it really convenient. All the platform is very intuitive to train new people how to use it, and it can be used for almost all business processes depending on the template you chose. I have been using Airtable for close to a year now with my current job, and over a year with my previous organizations. You can make of it whatever you need and I recommend scheduling an appointment with a Brand Representative to make sure you are fully using the capabilities of the software. After some demonstrations, we were able to add additional branding items, and with the upgrade, we were able to implement it as a registration system for our events.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't something I dislike. If I could change the number of people allowed to access the ProPlan I would, but other than that, their customer representatives are very quick if I ever needed to complain, but I haven;t had any reasons to. Perhaps, offering some kid of analytics or insights instead of only the raw data and columns for some forms would be interesting to see in the future
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many project management organization spreadsheets are laid out and easily customizable for all team members to see and explore. Attaching documents and external links to tasks makes it easier to have one centralized location. Some examples include using it as an Applicant Tracking system, social media posting track, checklist for planning, project dashboard with templates, external links.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that you have a clear business defined by roles and departments before using Airtable, other than that, you may start creating random bases and there is an art to the organization. The product is there for you to support your information management, and definitely watch their training videos to grasp the concept!
AirTable is simple and has a lower barrier of entry for wide-spread adoption
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable bases function like Excel workbooks and spreadsheets only it is really simple to link between spreadsheets and use controlled vocabulary by drop down menus. Subsetting the data through views are another feature that I regularly use. These are most used functions that we use and AirTable handles it excellently!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are lots of block functions for the advanced user that I do not use or have not found it useful. Searching the entire base should be free basic function but I appreciate the cost model you have. It tends to get expensive for multiple users so I can only afford to give some of our lab members write access as we are an educational institution of government grants.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Adoption. With multiple spreadsheets which are not updated, I have tried to centralize everything on AirTable and link them so that bases can be updated (in progress). Also we can easily subset views to see the data in subset in different ways on the fly which is really useful for presentation and question time. It is easily adopted by everyone and I have different views for everyone to see their own subset of the data and importantly when one view is updated, everyone's view is also updated with the relevant information in real-time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like all databases, do take time to plan out the schema of the entire database as to what you want to capture as well as how to want to retrieve the data. This will ensure that you will have a functional and usable database which everyone uses and hence is really useful in the organization.
Great for tabulating samples!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is very intuitive to crossreference entries across tables, much more so than Excel datasheets. This way I can keep track of samples across multiple experiments!
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile (android) app is not as friendly as the web version, but hey, at least there is one!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's made it much easier to look up different pieces of data relating to an experiment. And for sample management, I can easily filter based on various conditions to see what is available.
A platform for anything and everything
What do you like best about the product?
How customizable and malleable the platform is. I use it to keep track of nearly all of my marketing reports and plan development, the ability to link records on different sheets was a game-changer in my SEO and content marketing planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limits on the number of records in the free plan. As an individual who needs to document hundreds of records with a decent number of data points and link those across other sheets, it takes a lot of records. When I have to share this with team members the cost increases pretty significantly for how little they use their account for this. Exporting is not a simple process for this table either due to the interlinking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a marketer who wears a lot of hats and has a lot of tasks, it's important that I keep my records up to date and in an easy to find location. Cue Airtable.
On Airtable...I keep track of our content marketing plan, updating a list of all topics that have been pitched, the copywriters assigned to each, and each piece's status. In addition, I schedule out the editorial calendar on the same sheet, which provides me with a reference. I keep track of our website sitemap as we plan to relaunch our website, this allows me to assign SEO keywords to each page and determine which pages to combine, delete or optimize next, and I heavily link records across sheets.
We moved our weekly departmental meetings to Zoom, replacing our in-person meetings that used a printed document. Now I use Airtable to update our projects as we discuss them, and have integrated Slack so we get real-time updates if these records are updated outside of our departmental calls.

Do it. Invest the time to experiment and learn the platform, it will pay off.
So organized!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable keeps us so organized! I love that you change information on one page and it changes it on all of them unlike spreadsheets where it doesn't communicate that way. We live out of airtable every.single.day.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit touchy in terms of people can delete things easily...but that's why I don't give everyone access so it's okay!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is staying way more organized and we have one source of truth of information and its where everything lives. And they have airtable forms that fills out information for us as well!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You have to do it. Take all your information from spreadsheets and input them into airtable!
Excellent organization tool. Airtable allows several teams to collaborate smoothly
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is easy to use and understand. You can create your own view without interfering with someone else's view.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a slight learning curve but once you get the hang of it is easy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it as an online view of the apparel collection for each of our accounts
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This will change the way you collaborate!
Best database for daily use.
What do you like best about the product?
The interface and the overall experience are both quite good, I'm not a heavy user of excel or databases, so it's good to use Airtable with that friendly interface. Also, the user onboarding modal that floats on the bottom right of the page is quite good to!
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess it's the price of the pro plan, as I live in Brazil the price is quite expensive. Also, they could allow some apps for free users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major problem I solve it's my daily organization, project management and some lists or planos for the future that i need to organize, and the major benefit I think it's the freedom and facility to rearrange and organize my stuff in any way that suits me better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The group feature in database are one of the best things I could imagine while managing my stuff.
Airtable in Aviation
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Airtable, is it’s ease of use, the ability to quickly design a database specifically to the needs of the moment, and the multi platform accessibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost for multiple collaborators seems a little high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking of employees, flight instructor’s, aircraft, etc. The ability to isolate and just view the data I need at that moment is a huge benefit.
Airtable is an easy platform.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way you can manage your things , prices, blocks , etc..
What do you dislike about the product?
something I dislike the most is that the app isn't easy as the web.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage for example cost, prices, places where I have to send items and I cant use it wherever I go.
Incredibly useful tool for even the most complex needs
What do you like best about the product?
I really love the amazing scalability and multiple tools available. Even after adding thousands of new rows and formulas there is never any slowdown or issues.
We utilize Airtable along with Integromat to run the vast majority of company processes and automations.
Plus the company is continuously adding new tools and capabilities. We've been able to grow with Airtable.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I dislike but if I had to be very picky I'd say that the documentation is a bit lacking. There are amazing tools such as the scripting blocks but if you don't have experience with coding they can be very difficult to use.
It would be great to see more documentation behind their more complex tools or more example code to help less tech savvy folk out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of them? We use it to run our ETL process, invoicing process, automated emails, and others. As well we use it for account and invoice tracking. Using the code blocks we realized we could hook into VAT and currency exchange APIs so now we can have a live currency exchange for invoice amounts into our "home" currency plus can validate VAT numbers super easily now.
With airtable we've been able to better track company progress and account changes plus centralize a lot of our processes.
