Airtable for archives
What do you like best about the product?
I have found Airtable's interface to be very user-friendly. It has a powerful structure to take in and share out data in various formats. I like the different interfaces you can build off of 1 table. I appreciate the ability to have people fill out forms that load data into the tables without having to have a license for each individual who is filling out a form. Super easy to change data types, labels, and most everything in Airtable, but I also appreciate the warnings it gives if you're about to impact data in a different, linked base.
What do you dislike about the product?
We're still trying to figure out how best to link data between tables and bases. The other main challenge we have is figuring out what the primary key field should contain so that it is a unique id.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Airtable for a film digitization project. We have bases that track inventory, metadata, digitization, quality control, assets, and more. It allows us to craft forms that students can fill out to populate the bases' tables as they do the work. It also allows us to track progress and provides us with data we can share with stakeholders.
A great productivity tool and useful way to organize any kind of structured information
What do you like best about the product?
It allows me to capture the structure of information and represent it in various ways, sort and filter, and create user interfaces to display and process everything. I can deploy what I create to others at my organization and it can be useful for many people across different use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app is very basic, and doesn't support a large percentage of the features available on the desktop / web versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking adoption of various partner technologies across our diverse internal teams. Adopting partner technologies allows us to be on the forefront of innovation.
Very easy to use

The things i like about air table is that it is very user friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
i would say not being able to link to other websites for easy input process
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
not able to added it direct to our data base
Incredibly versatile, Completely Indispensable
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is an amazingly versatile tool, and it brings the power of relational databases into both technical and non-technical users hands. I have many favorite things about Airtable, but for the purpose of this review, I will admit it to just two: automations, and linked records.
Linked records are perhaps the most important feature of Airtable. They are the backbone of a relational database, and the execution that Airtable employs is the best that I've seen for a consumer-facing product. It makes the process of keeping your data together, and related, simple, and easy. And then, once your data is linked, it opens up a whole world of possibilities with things like roll ups and look ups. It's an amazing feature.
Automations are close second. This functionality in the air table effectively brings your app to life, and makes it a real, living, breathing application. It allows you to make your app behave according to rules that you define, and allows your data to interact with other apps and services outside of Airtable. Automations can serve as the bridge between your data and external apps, making it even more useful.
I highly recommend Airtable for people who want to have a single source of truth for their collected data.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are many, many things that I like about Airtable, and only a few that I don't. When you become an Airtable power user, you start to notice the limitations of some of the core functions of Airtable. For example, while the formula field is one of the most powerful in the app, the formulas that you can use in it are somewhat limited, especially compared to something like Microsoft Excel.
Further, there seem to be some arbitrary limitations built into Airtable that just don't make any sense to the end user. For example, in automations, you can currently only use a repeating block or a conditional block and not both. This makes no sense to me, and I wish that you could use them in combination with each other, which would make the whole application even more powerful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable solves a number of problems for our organization, but perhaps the most significant is having an easy to use and accessible source of truth for critical data that is used by multiple parties in our organization. While there are many ways to centralized data, Airtable makes it really easy to get that data to other downstream parties in a way that makes sense in their workflow.
A Tech-Savvy Tool for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is amazing for coordinating scalable projects. It can be used singularly or in a group, and the features it offers allow for better organization and coordination.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think it's particularly easy to use due to all of its customizations. If you are very tech-savvy and know how to create very specific projects, it's great, but can be challenging for laypeople to use for relatively simple templatized tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is helping us track spending, marketing plans, and track our yearly calendar
Airtable is powerful, flexible, and a little overwhelming!
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of bases, linked bases, and interface views for collaborators is a godsend. Non-technical team members can jump into work pretty quickly and easily, and keeping records up to date is intuitive. My team now uses it to manage a gnarly corpus of data, and we use it regularly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish creating attractive interfaces was more flexible, intuitive, and fast. Implementation and design of an instance is a pretty complicated thing, depending on the use case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a database of information on a client deliverable that was previously managed across 25 separate word documents. Changes to one template needed to be made in all, and it was an unsustainable situation. Airtable has solved that problem and more.
Versatile access to data
What do you like best about the product?
I really like using Airtable to manipulate the data we store in our bases. Our organization uses different bases for different purposes -- CRM, social media planning, event planning, invoice management, and more. I primarily use it as a CRM database that keeps client information accurate and organized. I use it everyday and just started to use the AI Assistant that is built in to help me build dashboards for the data -- it was very easy to use and implement and I will be integrating the dashboard into my weekly meetings with my boss.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is powerful and able to manipulate data, I find it difficult to create new worksheets and link cells to other cells in order to prevent the duplication and manual repetitive nature of data entry. The AI assistant needs to be better with processing plain language. While it was a great tool to easily create an invoice management dashboard, the AI Assistant wouldn't edit it after it was created and I had to do it manually. I would like an AI integration with Google Gemini as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is helping provide visibility to our customer data, specifically our invoices in a manner outside of our financial management software. It also helps me maintain project and training schedules. I really like using the Kanban views to help me easily visualize specific data and change that data easily by moving it along the Kanban board.
Airtable -- attractive and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to sort and group fields, create a number of different data tags, and find information quickly. The colors help find things easily, as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real complaint I have with Airtable is with the automations. Perhaps I have not figured it out yet, but I would like to be able to receive an email detailing a change each time that it happens in a given table. As of now, it seems I can only receive an email alerting that something has been changed, but not what that thing is. This would be very helpful as we have multiple team members making changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps us with creating a living publication schedule that can be accessed and edited by multiple members of our team. It is easier to sort, search, and make changes than with our official internal systems. It has also been useful for creating trackers for various projects with many moving parts, which then also serve as an easily accessible database of past projects.

What do you dislike about the product?
The limitations of collaborators on paid plans. It's stingy that a coworker can not even have commenting ability without paying.
Security of information is a bit vague. I could use more information on your security measures.
Automations are a bit buggy or difficult to program. Is there a way to make it more intuitive? The AI system for automation is so unhelpful.
