Online Report Collaboration for University Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable was exactly the online database tool our University team was looking for. We needed to convert from using spreadsheets to an online system to track our retirees with the goal of better communication among different teams across campus in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
We like everything as Airtable is meeting all of our needs and so much more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With our cross campus collaboration, we needed to limit what data other teams could view to do their jobs and Airtable’s shareable views did just that. Airtable exceeded our expectations with easy setup from the start, advanced formula options, and intuitive design. Rapid setup and easy to use database team collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Airtable as a fast and affordable option as an alternative to spreadsheets and local databases.
Excellent collaborative database tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy to use Airtable is and how beautiful the end result is. Gallery views are fantastic and I use them to share information with my students all the time. Form submissions to add information has been transformative to my tracking of student projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't dislike anything. I do wish you could use the gallery view on the iphone app, but I know they're working on that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to track progress on projects and to manage tasks with large teams. For example, I have all the students submit their paper topic via a form and then it's immediately visible to them in a saved gallery view so they can see what all the claimed topics are and see who might be a logical research partner. This way they also don't all try to work on the same topic as they can immediately see each others' topics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out and see if it works for your needs. The free version was enough for our purposes for nearly a year.
Easy, intuitive and functional
What do you like best about the product?
All the ease of use of an excel sheet and all the functionality of Access database with added tools to work online and to create nice and beautiful reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price could be high for little companies or foundations that need to buy the license for several users. It could be nice to have a downloadable version to work offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to manage everything: projects, tasks, databases... It is really easy and usefull to improve the productivity, and to encourage and facilitate the team work.

Try it and you will decide for it
A Growing Platform for a Growing Program
What do you like best about the product?
I coordinate a growing film program, and I like the ability to have large amounts of data at my fingertips. It's very easy to setup databases and link the data across datasets. I appreciate the design aesthetic. It feels very modern and fun but not cutesy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the iOS apps to be a little more robust. You can do basic data entry on them, but you can't create all the views available in the web app. Having access to data offline in the iOS app seems to be a key missing feature. I'd like to see more customization in forms and views.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a growing educational film program, we need to coordinate both students and equipment in a way that maximizes resources. Airtable allows us to visualize a lot of data very quickly. We are able to get large amounts of data directly from the student and streamline a lot of our old paper processes.
Amazing Software
What do you like best about the product?
I've been searching for a visually appealing, easy to use, easily accessible database for so many years that I gave up and created my own filemaker database on a personal server. Stumbling upon this app has completely changed that. Airtable is perfect for my needs; easy to use, adaptable but super powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The IOS app is currently a little limited but I'm hoping this will be addressed in the near future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has essentially replaced several pieces of software for me. It acts as my CRM, my Inventory tracker, my project planner and my schedule planner. What I love is that I can now tie all this info together and using things like Zapier, can automate a lot of my processes.
Easy and quick
What do you like best about the product?
It's fantastic how quick it is to build a powerful database. It's also impressive how many new features have been implemented since I started using Airtable. Plus the Mac OS and iOS applications work really well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike, I think I would like more views for the database but that is mostly an aesthetic issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable for project management in a team. Before we did not had a centralised platform where all the collaborators could view and edit projects and now we do. It's been much quicker and easy to share information between all the collaborators.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend to use the mobile and desktop applications.
Love this app! - so many uses and so easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
It is very intuitive, and is incredibly useful to us for project management, project request information gathering and tracking, and hiring processes. We are loving the ability to easily configure the tables, store attachments, share information, and schedule events that will interface with our office calendars. It is easy to promote adoption of this application because it is so easy-to-use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great to have better ability to customize entry forms. Allowing form designers to customize the layout of these forms would help make the form entry easier, and more compelling, to complete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project Management, Job Applicant tracking, Request management
Wonderful experience switching many community street festival's information systems over to Airtable
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Airtable is a beautifully designed tool that lets me implement my own collaborative, domain specific, streamline solutions to a variety of projects. For me, as a database professional, Airtable has proven to be incredibly empowering as I design workflows and mini-apps for the data intensive projects I get involved in. The idea of a intuitive, collaborative and online, and elegant relational database system hits the sweet spot for so many projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really comes to mind other they could work on their pricing structure so they are appropriate options for all scenarios
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a collaborative, database backed, information system, with online forms for our community street festivals to replace our unruly Google Doc system that we had built up over the years. It landed beautifully and our festival organizers and volunteers love it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it for a small project that requires a database first to see the power
Excellent cooperation and database tool for our NGO
What do you like best about the product?
Availability as web app, for PC, Mac, Android an iOS. Easy to use and understand - no training required! Absolutely 100% reliable - once you add data, Airtable will not lose it. Crowd contribution and sharing is excellent!
What do you dislike about the product?
Handling of dates in european format could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With more and more data accumulating over the years, spreadsheets were becoming increasingly insufficient for us. We knew we needed a database that was easy to handle, required minimum to no training for users and available on PC, Mac und mobile devices. Airtable did all that and more for us.
Fantastic! Airtable is intuitive and easy to use; but amazing powerful.
What do you like best about the product?
You can easily link spreadsheets to each other and transition seamlessly between views. And virtually no training is needed because it is so well designed.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, so good. I really have trouble thinking of potential improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping a remote team of collaborators from different organizations organized on team.
