Very easy to use! Everything is working great!
What do you dislike about the product?
Hmmm Its pretty sweet. I cant think of something I dislike right now
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We setup meetings between people so that one can listen and other can share about a life experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! Dont be afraid to click around. It works - even watch their videos
Great tool for research collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to view our data in spreadsheet and gallery view is very helpful for analysis. It serves the dual purpose of having a searchable database and organizational spreadsheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could customize the size of image previews in both spreadsheet and gallery views. We use a lot of images as data and they appear as a thumbnail. Would like for them to be larger.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were searching for an organizational tool that could function as a database. The fact that this tool is cloud-based makes real time collaboration easier without needing to worry too much about version control.
Multi-use & Versatile
What do you like best about the product?
Incredible versatility of the bases, and ability to collaborate across teams. Calendar function is a huge bonus. Incredibly easy to use, very intuitive. Everything about it makes sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing stands out as an issue. For what our organization needs, this is an ideal solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved collaboration across multiple offices; ability to see updates in real time; flexibility in base design. This has almost eliminated the need for using multiple MS office and other products to manage projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it ... you'll like it.
Endless Possibilities
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love everything about Airtable, but in particular, I love how you can organize your data in an aesthetically beautiful and easy-to-understand way. It's also very intuitive yet powerful. Another thing I like about Airtable is that they offer a quite generous free plan. It gives you all you need in many situations. Their customer support representatives are always helpful, too!
What do you dislike about the product?
While there are some features I would like to see in the future, there's nothing I dislike about Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a small nonprofit organization that was founded only three years ago. Fortunately, we discovered Airtable less than a year later, and have been using it for everything from managing client data to scheduling to budget tracking. Airtable is so versatile that you can use it for every purpose you can think of, which helps reduce the number of online services you need to run your business. Instead of using multiple platforms such as Asana, Trello, Slack, Google Sheets, HubSpot...Airtable can potentially replace all those services, and keep everything in just one place.
Robust and flexible - Airtable is a dream!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable's spreadsheet look and feel gives users an immediate comfort that no other database software offers. The intuitive nature of the software has also meant a much shorter learning curve. The bases we embeded in our website are very easy for our membership to find what they are looking for quickly. And, sharing a link to a form so that new data can be uploaded has simplified and shared the workload.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Page Designer needs to be more robust. There should be a price point between Pro and Enterprise or a way to add storage and # of records for an additional fee.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking to provide the storage and query capabilities of a database to our organization at a cost effective price. Airtable solved our problem at a much better price point than the competition. We were using another database which took a programmer to set up and maintain. Airtable can be set up and maintained by a volunteer with very limited technical training.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give Airtable a trial run. You'll be impressed!
Replaced Zoho Creator for us
What do you like best about the product?
The database that looks like a spreadsheet is amazing. In minutes, I had moved over data from Zoho Creator to this app. Support is awesome!
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, you cannot save a sort to a view, but that is a bug that the company is aware of and resolving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to create visualizations of data in our bases immediately upon request.
Best tool for an evolving organization
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of this tool which allows us to adapt to the constant evolution of our organization and to grow with us
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular, perhaps the difficulty to link the bases between them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a shared governance organization in constant evolution. Airtable allows us to manage this evolution, to build ourselves as we go the tool adapted to our needs at each step without depending on a developer
Airtable - Great solution to support our Not-for-profit fundraising and relationship management
What do you like best about the product?
We are just getting underway with Airtable, but were very excited when we learned about the product. We are a not-for-profit emergency services provider serving 5 towns in southern Vermont. We have used spreadsheets to manage data to support fundraising and our relationship with residents and businesses in our service area. That approach gave us some basic functionality, but we have been looking for a much more robust option for several years. Most avenues we pursued were more expensive than we can support in or budget and more complex than we need - requiring too much time and knowledge from a largely volunteer group. After working to understand Airtable and develop a plan for implementing and using the product - we are confident that Airtable will be a great solution for us. Airtable will allow us to dramatically improve the value we can gain from our data while allowing more key players ways to use that data to support our organizational goals. Airtable will support several different teams/committees - allowing each to meet existing goals and develop new, more ambitious goals.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with any project of this kind - getting started is likely the toughest task. Our historical data requires a great deal of work to get it in shape to make the move to Airtable. But - that is one of the primary reasons we are making the change.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primary use is to support our fundraising efforts. Our problem has been that our old approach made it very difficult to gain any value from our data, and periodically we had to undertake major efforts to update key info (like mailing lists). Our fundraising work was suffering because we lacked a real understanding of where our money was coming from, trends in our fundraising makeup and we had a very limited capacity to reach out to important donors. We are just in process of implementing this new approach, but feel confident that our data will be much better organized, be accessible to more members of our team and will lead to better strategies for successfully engaging with our communities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great product for those used to spreadsheets for maintaining data, but with the need to go to the next level. We were considering some sort of database or packaged fundraising support platform - but cost and complication were real issues. Airtable provides the functionality we need, and we expect that it will be far more user friendly for more of our team - and will be cost effective enough for our not-for-profit to be able to handle.
Airtable has helped us streamline and organise our data in a completely new way
What do you like best about the product?
We were maintaining a number of spreadsheets of largely the same data for separate user groups, and it was a lot of maintenance to ensure each spreadsheet was synchronised whenever changes occurred.With Airtable we have one pool of data with many views. This was essentially the feature we were looking for and Airtable has meet and exceeded those requirements. In addition, we've been able to do much better analysis of our data and improve the efficiency of our data entry and the breadth of data we accumulate.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few limitations, such as no median aggregation of lookup fields, but the support team has been helpful in showing us workarounds while features are being worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We operate the largest online directory of homeless services in San Francisco. A primary challenge we face is maintaining accurate data about these services and their providers, as services and the way to access the services is continually changing. We use volunteers to crowd source this content during workshops but, until now, it's been challenging visualising and analysing the large quantity of data that we receive during the workshops. Now with Airtable it's much easier to perform gap analysis and other data analysis to understand where data is missing or needs improvement. With this kind of analysis we can go to our partners and share with them this important information in much more visually interesting ways than basic spreadsheets, and best of all we can do it all with a single application.
Secure, excellent documentation, lots of ways to view your data
What do you like best about the product?
We love the API documentation (which we have only played with, not implemented in production yet), the built-in templates for seeing what's possible, and the different views you can get of your data. We use Grid and Gallery views. We're also exploring formulas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, you can't link cells across bases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now, we're using Airtable to track press hits and create a database of reporters and outlets who have covered us. This is helpful for reaching out to those reporters for future stories. Plus, having a well-organized record of press hits makes grant reporting easier. Ultimately, we hope to use Airtable's API to highlight recent press hits from this database on our website. Once we have our Press base fully working, we hope to migrate more of our processes from Google Sheets over to Airtable.
