It just makes sense
What do you like best about the product?
It enables customizable automation and decreases communication breakdowns between operational teams and helps facilitate levels of approvals, while leaving a trail to monitor progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's just not super scalable in terms of pricing structure and has limited integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal process management across cross functional teams. Integrates with other softwares well to give us the automation we need. There is only so much communication that can happen over slack and when humans at a scaling company are involved, the more automation the better.
Airtable is my rock for managing support tickets, I couldn't work with out it!!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable makes it so easy to create a form that is user-friendly and easily accessed and allows the back end of managing the submitted forms a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing bad to say. I mean... it does more than I need it to. I love it! It would be cool to have some automation templates... or maybe there are already and I don't know where to find them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before airtable all the issues from the teams I support would come to my email. UGH. thousands of emails and rules to manage to put them into folders then manually haveing to track them and providing updates took up to much of my time. Airtable has automation that can send emails out based on status and can pull from my notes and wow!! it's a time saver.

Airtable is 100% part of my daily tool stack
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Airtable for years now, with my clients, as well as for my own business, and even personal use. It's so flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Base Management page. I do wish it was easier to organize my different bases or have them in different views like a list.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's perfect for organizing anything. Everything from Product GTM planning, Expenses, Content Management, a tracking my owned books. I use it for everything.
Because you need your sanity back
What do you like best about the product?
With Airtable and Make.com, I believe you have the core of what you need to automate just about everything for your organizational needs.
Depending on your specific needs, you may need other things like Tally, Calendly, Hubspot, etc... But they all have to feed into some central repository, which is where Airtable shines.
Inside Airtable, you'll not only get to organize all your information but also do things in response to them. The "Automation" feature is a godsend in this regard. It can send emails, update other records, and even call out to other webhooks provided by make.com or similar no-code software based on a trigger.
If you have other people who have to view, edit, and enter information Airtable now has what's called an "Interface" on top of what they have always had called "forms." They're not perfect, but they've come a very, very long way. They should be able to get most of your needs met.
Granted, you may still need some custom coding here and there to get your company organized and managed through airtable.
If you want in-depth control over your information and how things happen in response to changes in the information, starting with Airtable is the way to go.
If you want to put UI first, you may find Airtable lacking.

What do you dislike about the product?
Having used Airtable from the very beginning, I have a lot of stuff I have to clean up because new features in Airtable have made much of my earlier hacks unncessary.
I also want the "Interface" feature to improve to the degree that it can at least do everything the "form" feature can do (i.e. conditional visibility, etc)
Finally, the various automations are hard to track. There has to eventually be a better way to organize this. This may be on me now with the new "section" feature, but there may also be an opportuntiy to innovate here in some way to make it easy for people to see at a high-level when automations are triggered, what they do, and how they interact, etc...

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem 1: Unorganized information -> Solution: Table
Problem 2: Time wasted doing routine work & feeling like I've forgotten to do something -> Solution: Automation
Problem 3: You want what other people do to be fed into the same place so you can see how everything is going -> Solution: by forms (quite a bit clunky) but much more improved with interface (although not as mature as forms in its features)
Problem 4: Need for variety of reports from same data -> Solution: Extension
Problem 1 & 2 is mostly solved
Problem 3 is still in progress as interface needs more improvement
Problem 4 is mostly solved, but could use the help of the "page designer" being more improved.

Great for staying organized
What do you like best about the product?
I love having all of my matierials in one place
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that sometimes it takes a while to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing me to travel and still have access to all my work materials.
Airtable Made Me Question My Life Choices.. in a good way.
What do you like best about the product?
I got so excited about Airtable when I first started using it that it made me question my values. I almost felt silly that spreadsheets could get me so engaged that it made me wonder if I needed to switch career paths to something more database-centric.
The GUI is everything. Airtable manages to make previously boring, tedious data more compelling & interesting to look at.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is that it's not an industry standard. I want everyone to use this so it makes collaborating that much easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps me use spreadsheets, period! I love a good spreadsheet but without functionality PLUS form, they don't hold my attention long enough for me to keep coming back.. Airtable solves for this elegantly.
Amazing and Flexible Platform
What do you like best about the product?
We use Airtable as a quick and easy way to store and manipulate ad-hoc data sets. I also use Airtable personally to track my book, music, and other physical media collections. Setting up an interface for inputting and viewing my data is easy. Extremely customizable and intuitive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I have with the platform is the difficulty of backing up the attachments I have embedded in my database. This can easily be offset by creating backups of my data on a regular basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable augments other database platforms we use. The flexibility and ease of use of Airtable make the management and analysis of ad-hoc data simple. Provisioning new databases is a snap.
