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.

Dynamic version of Google Sheets
What do you like best about the product?
Customisable with powerful database capabilities.
Flexible viewing options make it easy to visualise and organise information.
Linking records across tables gives it relational database power, and beyond linking across table, easy integrations with other tools.

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.

Great tool, has changed the way we manage data and projects A*************
What do you like best about the product?
Great to for data management, reporting and dashboards, we can manage and structure our data in an easy way for all stakeholders to be able to view. Its also a great tool to use with suppliers as we can work seamlessly in the same place on various projects. Overall its fairly easy to use, implement and navigate and it integrates with pretty much everything so it can form the core of your data / reporting requirements that you use regularly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its not the easiest platform to set-up and getting running like with all data platforms, but overall once you are up and running it is very easy to use. Sometimes its hard to get data tables integrated and talking to each other but it usually works out fine in the end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall using dozens of reporting tools means that we need a place to manage and structure the reporting data. Airtable does this and overall it helps manage campaigns and ultimately gives us ROI to the bottom line, it also provides productivity improvements for us.
Airtable is a powerful database tool
What do you like best about the product?
I use Airtable for complex database management where I need multiple tables that cross-reference each other. Automations and forms provide additional functionality that allows you to take a more hands-off approach. Airtable's interface is fairly simple but there is a lot of power hiding under the hood. I have integrated Airtable with Wordpress in order to manage content for websites with extensive libraries with complex taxonomy. I have also used Airtable for years to easily manage my business's cash flow in a simple interface that allows me to cross-reference revenue YOY for each client.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have struggled with complicated workflows where multiple automations sometimes conflict. The learning curve can also be fairly steep - I use Airtable with a lot of clients, and need to do a lot of hand-holding to get them up to speed. Airtable forms can also be improved, I have had to set up integrations in some cases as the native Airtable forms can be slow to load when there are multiple linked-record fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is primarily used for managing complex databases for content and project management purposes.
Great database experience
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity and powerfull possibilities of usage
What do you dislike about the product?
At the beginning its difficult to not get lost
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting databases to custom user interfaces which allows multiple data operations with using custom UI
A Promising Concept
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Airtable is its user interface. I can use it on desktop, or my phone for on the go job duties. It is compact and I do enjoy its functionality, however, it can be improved.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really dislike the new logo. All black looks bad for an app designed for workers, it reminds me of how bleak work can be in our day to day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is solving my biggest headache of keeping my team’s workflow in one centralized location. With Airtable, we can now work in real time and integrate the system with our Slack team.
Versatile accessible tool
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very intuitive and easy to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Recent updates have made linked fields and tables a lot more confusing than it used to be.
There's no way to send a file in response to submitting a form. This makes it harder to use Airtable for RSVPs, as it would be ideal to be able to autosend a calendar invite (for example) in response to someone registering for an event through a form.
Customer support is meh, the AI version on the website is bad.

Our go to organization software
What do you like best about the product?
My entire e-commerce and marketing team love Airtable, it's truly instrumental in keeping our departments organized between all of the projects we have going on, and being able to communicate milestones to ownership. I love that it's very visual for the marketing side of things, being able to organize deliverables and assets is super helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to manipulate what I want it to do but it just takes finicking with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization of projects and prioritization of what gets done first. Helping communicate all that my department is accomplishing to ownership in an easy to digest wy.
Quick, powerful database tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it's easy to use for beginner and intermediate database builders with a host of features that make it a competitive tool for sophisticated database and CRM uses too. I appreciate that they're strengthening their AI tools to make it even easier for beginners to take advantage of the most powerful and intricate features of the product, such as automation and interfaces.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like most products, the most sophisticated features required a paid license.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to display interactive data to coworkers in an accessible, easy-to-use format using the product's Interface feature.
