Airtable is a a powerful, yet simplistic project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is like a beautified spreadsheet. We use it for project management and also for some lightweight content management. I like that the ramp time was easy and the tool is easy to use. If you have experience with excel the tool is intuitive. It allows for us to collaborate easily and also have your own view.
It took a bit to figure out our own strategy with project management but through all the changes Airtable was able to keep pace.

What do you dislike about the product?
The one major downside that I see with Airtable is that it would be nice to have a more expanded user permission set. It would be great to lock certain aspects of the views. That way we could expand some of the collaboration to have more people using the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed it to keep our content up to date and keep our cross-functional projects on track. We now have an idea for what content needs updating and who owns it. On the project management side of things, it allows us to track the dependency of certain activities and better scope the timing of projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the community. There is a lot of value in the people on the community being able to answer complex questions. I also like this tool because I am data driven. Because it has the feel of a spreadsheet but simplifies it we have the flexibility we need without overwhelming the less technical people on our team.
Excel on Steroids

Nothing really. I never had an issue with Airtable.

Keeping communication simple was made easier with Airtable. I used it both personally and professionally to organize my life.
the necessary tool for an optimal collaboration and organization
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is a platform that I like because it is based on the cloud and allows me to work collaboratively in a simple and easy way without having to stress to understand complexities of use, on the contrary it gives me a pretty neat and clean interface where I can share ideas and information and work with clients and project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
the only thing that is not that I do not like it but that I'm sure I could optimize is the interface and its personification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The opportunities and benefits that this tool has given me to improve the quality of my work have been significantly, specifically when working in conjunction with other members of the company because without having to waste time in planning and requiring presence of them I have been able to carry out ... in the same way the problem of having to work from the office I leave it aside because this platform is compatible for mobile devices, thus facilitating the access and exchange of information at any time and from any place, it also allows me to work more quickly and efficiently to develop tasks because it has the functionality of a spreadsheet in combination with a database, in addition to having access to forms and custom screens
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Airtable is a great platform of collaboration and organization that I recommend since it is a powerful option to organize content to integrate different applications so that users can manage content between applications in a simple and safe way. also by experience I have been able to verify that this tool to guarantee a good and efficient team collaboration, saves and synchronizes any change that is made automatically and safely on all devices.
So many options, so much customization
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I'm able to customize my workflow and Airtable can handle it. There's a lot that Airtable can do, especially with connecting multiple parts of production workflow and bring everything into one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't a ton of easy introduction into how to use Airtable. There are plenty of templates, and videos to watch, but you should definitely know what you need to implement and how you'd like to go about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining production workflow from pre-production to post-production and even finance. It's been such a huge benefit to work with Airtable and find that we can pull data and transfer it to satisfy all of our needs.
More versatile than I thought
What do you like best about the product?
I like the star rating option that I have just discovered. It makes it very easy to hold departments accountable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I didn't find out all of the templates and features earlier!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I tried downgrading some people I shared the link with to Commentor instead of Editor and they could not even comment. I had to give them more privileges again in order for them to type into the account. I'd like a more restrictive platform so that others can enhance or change the complaint tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you are comfortable giving editor privileges to certain individuals. An editor can doctor the complaint, or other, tracking and delete records. If this is a method in which your holding people accountable please make them commentors only unless necessary and make sure commentors and receiving Airtable notifications to their main inbox.

Manage our marketing content and keeping track of sponsorship sales

It may take a minute to figure out how to use.
Genius!
What do you like best about the product?
This software has completely transformed the way my team and I brainstorm, create and manage our social media strategy and tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a whole lot I dislike about Airtable. I do wish we could schedule and post our social media posts directly from Airtable - to cut out another software platform I am not as excited about. Hopefully, that is in development!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now that we have a bigger social media team, Airtable helps us collaborate our workflow in order to make us more organized and efficient. Before, we were having trouble organizing and delegating tasks and brainstorming sessions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This platform has transformed the way our team brainstorms, plans and executes our social media strategy. It has made us way more productive and has increased the quality and quantity of our content.
Absolutely awesome!
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to have a spreadsheet and database combo to use to follow up with clients. For me, I help direct sales marketers with social media services, and recently with other services like getting mailing lists, and introducing them to ways to keep that mailing list straight. I have a client who uses AirTable and loves it because not only can you set up all your contacts/customer leads, and a calendar for them, but also add notes.
Also, it's awesome that there are existing templates for creating a calendar, because whether you need a calendar for customers, or for social media and blogs, or running ads, or whatever, it makes it intuitive to set up a calendar.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's nice that you can use the software to create forms, and then have people's form responses added to a database. But it would be better if you could make a "pretty" form/survey with pictures and backgrounds, the way you can in Google Forms. (Or, you can, but that's only a feature if you pay $50 and my client does not want to do that.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable and its way of switching between Grid view and Calendar view provides a great way of networking and FOLLOWING UP WITH a large list of people -- perfect for direct sales marketers! It's easy to create custom form fields.
Like, what my client did was create a "Follow-Up Date" field, so she could see when and if she had followed up with new leads. And then that was visible in both the spreadsheet and database parts of Airtable. It really helped her make sure that no new leads slipped through the cracks (and that no customers who had reached out to her felt forgotten).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have an Excel CSV of your contacts list ahead of time -- that will save you even more time importing everything into Airtable! Also, if you have peers in your industry, the two of you can share/see each other's databases and compare notes.
Great interface and easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I run a talent agency, and I am able to organize my roster of actors, dancers, and models based on any attribute I pick -- and I can sort them by their headshots! It's by far the best interface I've ever used for this.
What do you dislike about the product?
I started with a personal account, and now my accounts are linked. It's more difficult to fix this than I wish it was.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before I had to manually search talent, but now their comp cards are sorted easily. When I open their main headshot, I am given far more detailed information, and I am able to link interview notes to their staff profiles. Clients love seeing screenshots of this.

What do you dislike about the product?
There have been many times I needed airtable to do a lot more and found it far too simple.
Can't link data across bases, can't create unique formula's down a column, its 1 or none.
When adding to a linked database and making a new entry there is zero warning you are adding something that is not linking making new records in place you don't want them.
