Excel and Google Forms in one!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that your colleagues can easily see what you have added to air table.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding formulas and doing computations is a little fickle and sometimes doesn't work very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was super easy for our team to create a shared formed that we had to send out to potential suppliers
Good for large-scale project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like how flexible the platform is to organize your projects exactly how you need them. Additional workflow features like request submission forms are really helpful as well when collaborating with a large team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how you can't get very granular with the project tasks and to-dos in order to break down the projects into more manageable tasks. I pair Airtable with Asana to be able to break down my project management more, with using Airtable as an overview and way to collaborate with the rest of my company (5,000+).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With several teams creating content for all of our different products and business areas, collaborating and transparency with our content is key. Airtable helps us get insight into what everyone else is working on, keep an up-to-date content inventory, and streamline workflows across teams.
Great tool but you need to work a bit to get the hang of it
What do you like best about the product?
It is very flexible and you can adjust it to all your needs.
Everyone who loves using Excel would love using Airtable, as there are so many easy customizable options and it is very handy.

What do you dislike about the product?
Due to its flexibility, you need to work a bit to get the hang of it and really be able to use the features.
Sometimes it can be bothersome when you use templates to get rid of all the demo data.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lists. I love doing lists with Airtable, as it keeps them tidy and very manageable.
Quick and Simple Way to Collaborate with Team
What do you like best about the product?
I work in a field where I complete a portion of a task, and then am required to submit my completed portion to another team member. AirTable makes it quick and easy to do so, as the form provides all of the information necessary for me to relay to them. There is no longer any back and forth via email, or pesky phone calls to clarify any missing info.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, having to fill out required fields can be a little challenging - especially when all tasks do not "require" them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we had to print off separate forms and then separately forward that form to the next team member. Often times, the form didn't have all required information, so there would be confusion in the process. With AirTable, I am able to provide all info necessary - no extra emails required.
Excellent software to manage multiple projects
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is the greatest way to organize your data, keep track of your expertise, and create and share information with others. As a CRM, sub-equipment task manager, and social media calendar, we utilize Airtable. Real individuals have prepared various lists, planning templates, research and content or budget plans, etc. It's great to be able to look at other people's templates, and it's helped me discover new ways of working. Customers and coworkers can view your calendars, giving you superpowers when it comes to managing projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The choices for enhanced text need to be improved. "Alternate" can simplify the view for me because I can't add enough abstractions for my team's duties. Having many spreadsheets on a single basis complicates the display. Could they benefit from an overview of the page's layout? Perhaps a glimpse of the code editor would be helpful. Costly, and sometimes you just want someone else's opinion without it being included to your base. My proposal is that an account should only be charged by the owner, as everyone benefits from it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a great way to keep track of various projects. Your data may be categorized, filtered, and attributed to certain persons. It can also be grouped. As a result, I can always locate what I am searching for with ease because to the templates' excellent organization. Additionally, I'm able to keep an eye on what has to be done at all times by going down through each column on the screen view of the table and seeing everything visually in front of me at any one moment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Instead than using Trello, consider using Airtable instead. It is possible to have many "bases" and access them quickly from the home page. The base may also be shared with other individuals via the sharing link. When it comes to organizing projects, Airtable comes in handy since it allows you to add tasks in order of importance, give deadlines based on daily work time and organize files into different categories with subfolders all in one place. Start using templates and modify them to fit your needs if you're unsure where to begin.
Amazing project management tool and data management hero!
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part about Airtable is how versatile and customizable it is. I use Airtable for a variety of professional and personal tasks including financial record keeping, project management, idea workshopping, content scheduling, and more. Airtable allows me to easily view, manage, and manipulate information in a number of different layouts, which is incredibly beneficial and convenient. I also like how clean the user interface is and how easy it is to get going with a new project. I have been using Airtable for years and have introduced a number of people to the platform, especially for project management tasks. Everyone has always been impressed with how great a tool Airtable is for organizing information in a consolidated, concise, and easy to look at format.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not too much I dislike about Airtable for how I am currently using the platform. I know there are a number of paid features that you can upgrade to for a monthly fee. I have not looked too in-depth to see if some of these features, so maybe some of them would cover feature requests that I wish were readily available on the site. For example, I would love to be able to fill cells, rows, and columns with a background color similar to a spreadsheet program like Excel or Sheets. It would also be nice to be able to change fonts and font sizes/color. These are not features I would need to use all the time, so if they do exist as a premium feature, it's not worth it for me to upgrade to. The subscription upgrade model for paid features is very expensive, especially if you've invited multiple collaborators to a workspace. Essentially you will need to pay a monthly fee for each person that has access to the workspace, which adds up quickly. This is a cost that applies per workspace, so if there are multiple workspaces you want to upgrade that all have multiple people... well, you can see how things would get expensive. The model Airtable uses for its paid add-on features is pricey, which is why I'm not familiar with the features -- I don't even want to look to see what there is because it doesn't make sense for me as a small business or individual user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in the live entertainment business and Airtable does an amazing job of helping keep track of information related to the event tours I am a part of. I can organize tons of information for different cities, shows, and theaters that other members of the team can reference and contribute to. It's a great tool that allows us to easily organize and sort through a lot of small details.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are someone who still uses basic spreadsheets for data management or project organization, I would HIGHLY recommend giving Airtable a shot. The ability to manipulate, sort, search, and generally find information is so much better than any other application I've used. It's a powerful database tool that can be applied to a broad amount of scenarios.
Extremely useful and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the platform and wide range of use-cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Database limitations cause us to create workarounds that defeat the purpose of Airtable's otherwise great functionalities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Catalog Management, Inventory Management, Order Management,
Beautiful spreadsheets and database tool
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is probably the most straightforward software for spreadsheets and data on the market. It's so easy to organize data, simple to collaborate with coworkers, and has several apps to integrate. The interface is very user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found one thing that I dislike about Airtable!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allows collaboration on entire databases, not just individual sheets such as Google sheets or excel. Also, Airtable is more user-friendly, so one does not need to be an expert at Excel to complete basic tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to collaborate on databases, don't waste your time looking at other software. Airtable is everything you need and more.
One of the Best Collaborative Project Management Tools Available
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, the intuitiveness of the software, the platform itself, and that the free version offers enough features that it's still very feasible in which to work collaboratively. I love the ability to create a calendar based on date fields, the ability to create different views of the same Airtable, and the functionality in general. Also, the email notifications you can set up for when others add to Airtable, etc., are fantastic for ensuring you don't miss anything new.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing stands out as a massive dislike. I think that for experienced users, it's relatively intuitive, but new users will most likely need training to understand the platform's full functionality. So in that way, it's not quite as intuitive as it could perhaps be, but I believe that would be an issue with any brand new software. It is incredibly easy to explore and play around within Airtable to learn, however, which I think is very beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My main Airtable project currently is updating and maintaining a database that shows all licenses my company and sister companies have across our organization. This allows the CRO of our parent company to review all licenses 6-months before their expiration in order to know when to begin any necessary negotiations. It's been incredibly valuable using Airtable to get this massive project collaboratively worked on.
Really good if you know how to use it
What do you like best about the product?
One of the things I loved most about Airtable is its immensity. You can create a lot of relations that eventually you'll be allowed to correlate each variable. They have a lot of tools that can be used to generate statics and metrics (for example) and each table can have personalized access.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little bit difficult if you're already using other tools (like Jira or Notion) to transfer data and keep it simple for your team. If you have used a tool like this, you'll be able to manage the basics fast enough so your process won't be affected, but if it's not the case even basics can be a little bit hard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a huge management tool. You can keep track of tasks and have statistics in the same place.
