Creating custom apps for everything in our business without code
What do you like best about the product?
When a new need arises our team can implement a new way our app works within an hour after coming up with the idea
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can be daunting for users interacting with our custom app or base
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have built custom apps to help us track employee hours, project progress, client management, and even finances. Our company works on many types of projects that all function differently with how they progress to even how they are paid, Airtable allows us to customize our backend to accommodate these variances without hiring a software team.
Simplicity of a spreadsheet, with the capability of a database
What do you like best about the product?
As great as spreadsheets are, they have limitations. Whilst databases used to be the option to consider next, whilst it's great for a developer, it's not user-friendly for general usage unless building front-end interfaces and required the expertise of a developer. Airtable has filled this gap making it possible to create a database with the simplicity of a spreadsheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pro plan which is the highest option apart from enterprise is limited to 50 000 records per base. This is unfortunately a major limitation in the case that you have a larger dataset to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our case, it's a great place to work with our data, add, edit and update records. Then visualize the data in order to identify business insights and integrate with other saas platforms.
Game changer for project managers!

Airtable helps me keep track of my entire portfolio of projects, current statuses, and task management. At a glance, I can accurately give status updates and let me leadership team know how I'm doing.

Learning how to do some of the integrations and automations can be confusing and time-consuming. I'd love more tutorial videos to help with this!

Airtable is key to my project management -- there's no way I could keep track of everything without Airtable.
Great free database software
What do you like best about the product?
It's simple and easy to use. You can customize quite a bit with the free version or pay to upgrade and customize as much as you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't really think of any. It's a bit of a hassle switching between databases on the app but nothing serious
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's an online database where I can keep client and volunteer records as well as keep on top of what has been done in each client session. I can choose to share the notes with coworkers or keep them private
Flexible and Efficient
What do you like best about the product?
Regardless of what your team does, Airtable is flexible where it can adjust to your needs. The addition of extensions and automations make it an even stronger tool, but I recommend the free version to many teams inside and outside my organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides are that you can't edit files that are attached and the gantt features are not as strong as with Microsoft Project, but these problems can be remedied with functions or external file systems.

I use Airtable for project management of multi-year projects. I track budgets, timelines, tasks, and needs, all while keeping everything visible to my large team.

Powerful tool with a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to see lots of data in multiple, useful views
Ability to cross-reference related records
Appealing interface
Ability to cross-reference related records
Appealing interface
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a while to learn how to use it well, particularly understanding what you can and can't do with linked fields
Trying to add records to views that filter out records, and having the record filtered out before you've filled it in
Interfaces not allowing you to edit records that have linked records -- that makes the edit feature almost useless in a lot of applications
Airtable is an effective task list for me, but not for others on my team who would use it less frequently – like any task management tool, if you're not on it all the time, then it can become an extra step to udpate it. And if it's not used consistently, it's not useful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking podcast episode development, tracking students in a podcast class, linking students to podcasts, managing my task list.
I have the output of 10 people now
What do you like best about the product?
Admittedly, I like the interface best. If it wasn't so pretty and homey, I would not have moved my entire business ino Airtae databases and learned automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linking records gets messy. I wish there was an easier way. I'd also love a smart search feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It limits the need to waste life in dozens of interfaces. It brings everything together. If only I could explain the power of this more clearly to baby boomers.
