Very helpful
What do you like best about the product?
It was exactly what I was looking for for my non-profit information and project management. I needed something everyone on my board could use and access from the web.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really nothing. I wish the bases could talk to each other, but it is easy enough to work around
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us with manegeing both inventory and clients. We really like how easy it is to use for some of our board members who aren't as savy with excel.
Airtable Helps Us Manage our Information
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is very user-friendly and easy to get started with. It has a really nice UI, and its features make information easy to find, sort, filter, and view. We especially like being able to expand records and see all of the data from one row in an easy format.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wish that there was some stronger cross-base linking functionality, especially when it comes to automatically updating records in one place when they are updated somewhere else. The ability to lock down permissions field-by-field would also be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Airtable to help us keep track of personnel who we have trained at different times. It helps us keep all of their information in one place, so we always have a source of truth for things like their most up-to-date email address and region. It also helps us track trends that we see over time.

MedEdGuru loves AirTable!
What do you like best about the product?
MedEdGuru loves the collaborator and user ease of AirTable. The platform is helpful maintaining organization with the capability of filtering and sorting categories and resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
MedEdGuru does not have specific dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MedEdGuru uses AirTable to organize its online educational resources by category, title, source, etc. in order to import it onto our site. We like the ability to sort and filter by different categories.
Changes the way we work
What do you like best about the product?
Organise complex information quickly in a great UI for quick access, variable viewing and access anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to export views as reports (CSV usually works fine) or make blocks embedable to external sites
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Airtable for project management and a whole range of business apps in house without need for complex databases or spreadsheets.
Great way to build a database for a nonprofit
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is super easy to get up and running for a nonprofit because of all of the templates (donor management, grant management etc.). The templates help understand how to set up all of the tables and field types. I've used Knack HQ before but Airtable is a lot easier to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't run into any problem yet. I'd like to see a Gantt chart block but I'm guessing they'll add that at some point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our nonprofit needs to track donors, grant opportunities, awards to grantees, educational programs, and a bunch of events. We also do a fair amount of email marketing. The standard CRMs out there don't match up very well for our workflows but we can pick and choose which templates work for us in Airtable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Airtable is a great product when you need flexible workflows with a wide variety of use cases.
Airtable for scholarly collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love Airtable’s flexibility to add multiple views for the same spreadsheet (dataset). My research partner and I track the conferences and publications we submit to and have views like “What’s due in 30 Days? 60?” by filtering by date due and status (not submitted).
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet, but am still learning how to use all the features!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We could not create multiple views like this with Excel which is all we had before.
Databases made simple and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable allows me to make databases without having to pretend to be a rocket scientist. The interface is simple and intuitive, yet personalization is possible. It allows me to create more than one database and have an overview of all the ones I have made. On top of that, they synch across all my devices and allow me to collaborate with colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike because it does everything I want from a database. The app never crashes, changes get saved automatically and the only hiccup is the difficulty in copying and pasting rows of information from Excel for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allows me to keep track of donors. The biggest draw is how several databases can be linked, so the options are limitless. My whole team can easily access all the donor information and make updates so we always know who our biggest donors are. It has allowed us to target donors individually.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate, just get it!
Using Airtable to track community partner relationships, activities, communications
What do you like best about the product?
My team spent over a month researching our options for an affordable database solution for our college to track relationships, activities, and communications between our community partners and student/faculty courses and projects. We selected Airtable because we can easily customize the database to do exactly what we want, rather than other pre-packaged CRM tools that did not fit our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable has met our long list of needs, but we're still figuring out a few items. For example, we know how to create pivot tables using the blocks feature inside the Pro version, but we have not yet learned how to cleanly export the pivot table results (other than copy and paste). Maybe it's possible, but this is one area where we could not find an answer in the otherwise rich documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable provided a flexible, collaborative relational database framework that is relatively easy to set up and train others to use, as long as you have a clear idea of what you wish to accomplish.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First, list your organizational and data needs. Second, try out different tools and compare how well they fit your needs.
Airtable - stellar software, so many uses
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to easily publish bases and collaborate at the field level. I no longer need a variety of other tools when Airtable has such a broad offering to help me run successful projects from start to finish. The Snapshot feature is really easy and gives peace of mind that your data is backed up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Manual copy/paste functionality is a bit slow and sometimes does not trigger on the first attempt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Curriculum mapping and inventory tracking of assessments. Airtable makes it easy to collaborate with multiple ways to share complex data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Why maintain Slack, Basecamp, and others when you can get all of your work done in Airtable? Airtable makes it so easy to collaborate and is a phenomenal time saver.
