Recommendations to others considering the product:
USE IT!
Easy to navigate and smart
What do you like best about the product?
There are loads of training resources and it is easy for the whole team to work out how to use the various features. Keeping it simple really works well here. The end goal will be to have our entire organisation using this as a collaborative tool, looking after our venue hire spaces.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot to say, so far we have not managed to break it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, our venue hire spaces were managed through manual forms, leading to confusion and issues with getting maintenance teams in without asking three different people if the spaces were free. We now have one place that everyone can view and book as required.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are lots of online training resources. They can help immensely when setting up your system. We have also taken a collaborative approach with getting the system up and running, helping to get the team buy-in.
The single best tool I've come across
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is friendly and highly functional, easy-to-use but deceptively powerful. I work with young people, and they have no problem understanding the system. But at the same time, Airtable has ingenious calendar tools; a "why didn't 'they' think of that before" auto-integration of sheets, forms, Kanban (Trello) boards, and galleries; and integrations with other apps both in-app and via Zapier. It's everything we need to run our nonprofit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable still has a little ways to go, especially re: user permissions and data validation. Fine tuning base access, and creating folders of bases, is still out of reach. And views need to be lockable, so that myself and other staff don't inadvertently change complex filter setups. And data validation tools on dropdown lists should be a no-brainer, since accidentally manually adding an item to a multiple-choice field is just too easy. But overall—Airtable is excellent, and has gotten demonstrably better every month since we began using it about 6 months ago. I trust it will keep improving!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Airtable to manage all aspects of our nonprofit, from tracking clients, staff, and partners, to building grant and media production calendars, to creating openly accessible tables for volunteer and Board involvement. It's solved almost all our organizational challenges.
Excellent Product
What do you like best about the product?
Easy & Intuitive to use! Dare I say fun!
What do you dislike about the product?
None...a pleasure to use! Fast and easy!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing and creating connections between large volumes of data and having the ability to collaborate with others
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot! It's cross platform, easy to use and allows you to easily collaborate with others.
A great tool for content or other project organizing and planning
What do you like best about the product?
Table construction, design, and layout are big pluses.
It's a very intuitive tool and the templates are very helpful.
The ability to share information with multiple users is another "pro" of the tool.
The ability to integrate with so many other tools like Basecamp and Dropbox is very valuable.

What do you dislike about the product?
The app on the computer should be usable offline.
The price isn't completely unreasonable, but for nonprofits or NGOs, the cost could improve a little...

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're streamlining our content marketing plans and calendars with this tool. It has so many other benefits in terms of database and other information tracking, but we're really using it to help map out and schedule our marketing plans.
Spreadsheet simplicity with database power.
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very intuitive and easy to pick up. The blocks functionality works the way you'd wish all office suites did with great design, powerful functionality, and easy to understand features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrations are a little bit limited, but as they expand this will become a tool you can't work without.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're migrating our Access Database files to Airtable so that folks will actually use them. Finally, we're able to visualize multiple data-sets across time in a way that actually will make them relatable and useful for our stakeholders.
Airtable is an amazing, flexible collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has a ton of flexibility. The databases themselves can be really varied, with lots of different field types, but what really sets this tool apart is the ability to create different "views" into the same database – like a form view for adding new records, or a filtered view for a specific team member who only needs to see certain information.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's always more features to ask for ... I was waiting a while for the calendar view to be built out more extensively, but that has arrived now!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Airtable to streamline the flow of information into our marketing and communications team. Using form views to collect information, and then creating a workflow behind the scenes, integrated with Zapier and Asana, has allowed us to really leverage a small team, and cut down on email volume significantly.
Did you ever wish you could...? Well, Airtable can
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fleixibility Airtable gives me for organizing all kind of data.
I can enter any kind of data (text, images, dropdown) and use it for almost everything I can think of.
So many times did I think "if only I could use Google sheets to do this or that" - and I could never make it happen - but with airtable (/and zapier) I feel like I have programming superpowers without any code.
It is tryle an amazing product for a modern knowledge worker trying to get control of their information and flow.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints - I still find new features and techniques (from their blog/forum/"universe") that I can use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organize data for my colleagues - quick and clear business decisions - data-gathering.
A great product!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable looks at problems and solves them in an amazingly simple way. We have been struggling with spreadsheet concepts for decades, Airtable looks st them with fresh eyes and carefully shows us a truly refreshing approach.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven’t found anything that I dislike, and I can sense an approach with this group that will take any suggestions and quickly incorporate them into their model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am headed toward Team collaboration. Have tried things in the past and experienced pushback. People dislike change, but zo think it will be different then s time as everyone gains experience and sees how brilliantly this software performs.
Productivity software has never been so much fun
What do you like best about the product?
Beautiful software that combines the functionality of Excel and Access. So much potential to speed up our processes and get our data working in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the views work perfectly for what we need, sometimes they don't. Some features feel like they're designed with software dev teams in mind, and don't quite fit what we need as an education business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting all our data into one place. Opening up our data for everybody to use. It's combined about 10 documents into one place. We mainly use it to manage funding grants, the 20+ programmes we run each year and the 20+ temp staff we supervise.
