Great to use for a database, to track projects and get collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can see and manipulate the data in multiple formats. It is great that we can get data directly into our database through forms without giving volunteers access to the sensitive data.
It is compatible with zapier which allows us to automate a lot of things in addition to the ones available through airtable.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far we have not found a way to indicate a certain number of slots for a shift.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to track volunteer projects, shifts at an event, and to replace our CRM.
Dynamic and Intuitive with Endless Uses
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Airtable for at least the past 9 years for many different professional and personal applications, including project management, inventory management, contact management, and as a content management service. I love the versatility and collaborative features, especially the ability to create different views of a table with their own websites that you can tailor to the needs of your audience. Also, they're always adding great new features. It has been by far my favorite and most recommended web application for some time now.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm hoping they enable two-way sync between separate bases soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking projects and tasks in a simple and intuitive way that non-savvy users can learn quickly. The comments feature makes it possible to get quick status updates from team members without having to give them edit access.
Airtable is perfectly suited for building a custom CMS. This has become my primary usage of the platform, along with project management.

Incredible Database and Project Management Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Airtable looks like a spreadsheet but functions like a database. The interface is very intuitive. There are features for attaching resources. Airtable is perfect for team collaboration. We can all add information to a project and all relevant relationships are updated. The blocks are cool also!

There is really nothing I dislike about Airtable. It serves the needs of my organization perfectly.

Easy to use, easy to collaborate, and versatile

I like how easy it is to get started. No advanced knowledge of relational databases is needed to create a useful workspace. The web tutorials are very helpful.

There are some features missing from Airtable that would be very beneficial to have. One of these is reminders/notifications of deadlines in the calendar view.

Airtable
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is flexible and adaptable to any number of possible needs and projects. High versatility and collaborative capabilities.

The versatility allows us to adapt our projects and planning fluidly. The biggest benefit is agility and collaboration - allowing teams to share, filter, present, and process data. Simplicity.
Making our small organization easy to manage
What do you like best about the product?
The pre-made templates and ability to only share with sho is needed, add documents and so many other fantastic advantages have really made this the best choice we could have made. Very pleased with how it is keeping us organized and on task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not had the opportunity to see anything in particular that I don't like, but I am a little overwhelmed with the options. There's so many possibilities that it is taking me some time to figure out what would be cool vs what is needed right now to get the job done or started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration between board members of a non profit organization. We are a working board and no devoted paid staff. All of our operations are done remotely, so having an online resource that we can use efficiently is important to keeping us running and helping those we serve.
AirTable is the solution I was looking for
What do you like best about the product?
As a grant writer for an urban charter school with a robust fundraising program, I was looking for a platform that would help me track the many aspects of proposal writing ... deadlines, programs, donations sought, received and denied, etc., all in an easy-to-use format with multiple ways to see information. Airtable offers an affordable solution with the ability to do all of the above, and more!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! I'm a beginner user, so I plan to spend time learning more about all of Airtable's features. I was happy to find that I could import my data quickly into the the platform and start using it right away, even without the taking time to dive into the tutorials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proposal writing is complex and deadline-driven. I need to be able to see at a glance a lot of information about potential funders quickly and efficiently. Airtable is benefitting my work and even makes it fun to keep track of everything. What was once very burdensome is now a seamless process.
Powerful, flexible and easy-to-use
What do you like best about the product?
After testing and/or using several project management tools, we finally decided for AirTable. It is really a great tool: powerful, flexible and easy-to-use. The fact that its core is a sort of spreadsheet is a brilliant idea: it makes the tool incredibly flexible compared to other project management tools. It is very simple to customize it to specific needs. It is also very powerful thanks to the different views and blocks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, the only feature that I miss is that changes in starting/ending date do not seem to automatically impact on those of dependent tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable for project management and team collaboration. It allowed us to have more precise tracking of tasks, better organization of our project, to easily switch between different time scales (short-term vs long-term objectives) and to use hybrid project management methods (agile + waterfall)
A Gamechanger & Dynamic Relational Database App for the Spreadsheet-Challenged
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has been a true game-changer! I've long been looking for a way to cross-link/cross-reference information and be able to quickly, easily, and dynamically "visualize" the same information in a variety of ways. For someone incredibly inept at Excel, Sheets, and virtually any spreadsheet, I've been able to dive into Airtable and create rather complex databases, complete with formulas, and even with multiple Zapier connections! As a startup nonprofit with a small budget and even smaller person-power, Airtable has been revolutionary.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the most inconvenient aspect is the inability to work offline, as with something like Notion. There are some limitations, such as cross-referencing other bases, or moving entire tables between bases, as well as with some cross-connection capabilities and formulas. The UI for expanded records is also visually confusing at times/not easy to read/navigate. Notifications are also a bit basic and can become overwhelming and hard to manage if there are multiple members on multiple bases communicating. I'd love to see the team communication become more dynamic as then it would make task-based project management far more of a possibility. But the Airtable is nothing if not determined to consistently update and improve the application—I have no doubt they will continue to expand features and functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything from using a base for an entire employee hiring process, from embdeded application form, to additional survey submission steps, evaluation, and more, to donor management, project management, data collection and processing, digital media organization, and more. Airtable has even helped with processing information that will end up outside of the app itself—if someone needs spreadsheet-based information from me, but require the end product be in Sheets or Excel, I pull it all into Airtable first, process it with formulas, cross-relations and everything Airtable makes SO much easier, then export it out! :) As a very small (like one person small) startup nonprofit, Airtable has made the compiling and processing of large amounts of information possible and far more labor-intensive than any other method, platform or application. And when the workload of an organization is way above its person-power, every minute counts!
