Airtable is a tool that every business needs to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is the gold standard for a relational database that doesn't require SQL. I spend a lot of time working with SQL databases and Airtable lets me accomplish the same things with user-friendly interfaces that anybody can leverage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the formulas would have syntax highlighting and bracket matching. These are very standard features. I have trouble understanding their absence. I am confident that we'll get them at some point, however.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Manipulation and Analysis, Scheduling, Forms (data collection), Automation, Airtable as a database for Zapier, and organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a database but databases seem intimidating, you need Airtable. If you are a developer, you'll love Airtable. Airtable is for everybody and it's an amazing tool to have in the toolkit.
Gives me ultimate flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable is that I can direct it to do almost anything I want it to do. It gives me ultimate flexibilty to arrange my data in the way I want. It also allows me to run automations (using a combination of Airtable's growing list of in-built automations or by pairing Airtable with Zapier) that save me from having to do repetive manual tasks with my data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside to Airtable is that each table in a base is limited to only 50,000 records. I am using Airtable to arrange all data in our business, including logs of emails that have been sent, and this means that I need to spread the data for our business across more than one Airtable table. But I hear from customer service at Airtable that storage capacity in each table is soon to be greatly increased.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems I have solved by using Airtable is that administrative work on the business has become a lot more enjoyable, because the automations I have set up save me a lot of time. The most time saving we have gained is in automated emailing of multiple people - sometimes over 1,000 at a time, with details (and reminders) about multiple Zoom meetings, each with different meeting IDs and passcodes, with meeting times shown in different time zones. While it took me quite a lot of time to learn how to get Airtable to do what I want it to do (e.g., how to use the formula fields), it is really satisfying to see administrative tasks happening quickly and efficiently once the automations are set up. This will enable us to scale our business.
Democratising the power of databases
What do you like best about the product?
Delightful UI that hooks users in, with powerful discoverable features to help as your projects grow in complexity.
What do you dislike about the product?
More work is needed on the mobile apps and some new ways of managing permissions.
It would be helpful to turn Shared Apps into Android Widgets, for example.
It would be helpful to turn Shared Apps into Android Widgets, for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything. Personal finance, company scheduling, our hiring pipeline, project estimates, personal development tasks…
Great platform for keeping track of anything
What do you like best about the product?
The endless possibliities of the platform. We use it as much as we can. The interface is very fast, and it allows us to work on the same bases together. I also like the fact that you have access to versions, tracking and the option to restore data in the event that someone accidently deletes something. I also like the ablity to present data to users without them needing to have to log in to anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model could use an upgrade. Since they charge per workspace, if I wanted to keep my projects separated by workspace, it woudl require additional subscriptions. I would like to be able to pay once (even if it's a little more a month) and then have as many workspaces as I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to move a lot of our spreadsheets and trackers into Airtable very easily and now data is not stuck in someone's drive or siloed in a single file. We have been able to increase our engagement and participant tracking as well as easily integrate data collection forms into our sites and processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't wait, give it a try today. I was hesitant to try a new system, but since they have a free plan, there's no reason to not give it a try. Once we used it for a few weeks, we were hooked and decided to upgrade to a paid plan to unlock all the great features. It has been money well spent.
Amazing Software with So Many Capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is incredibly flexible and powerful. If you can dream up a data process, chances are you can design an Airtable base to do it. From tracking grant reporting to taking orders for trees, Airtable continues to rise to our non-profit needs. It's helped us be more strategic in evaluating program data and increasing our efficiency and workflows. Airtable has found its way into almost every part of our business operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve on Airtable isn't steep, but it does take some getting used to. There are some things that could make Airtable stronger such as improving how views are organized and allowing some of the apps to be embedded on your website. That said, Airtable is constantly updating and there are some add-on services that have enabled us to overcome some of these hurdles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Airtable for a wide array of problems. We use it to track grant writing and reporting metrics, manage projects and tasks, track invoicing, record interactions with our customers, and much more. Airtable allows us to set up data tracking systems that work for us, rather than trying to fit our needs into a database that wasn't made specifically for our needs. The apps enable us to visualize data in unique ways and different views allow us to see the data relevant to all of our team members' specific needs. It's helped us be more strategic in our operations and understand the intricacies of our work much better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this product. I've been using databases for a long time, and if I could design a platform myself, Airtable would be pretty darn close to it.
High extendable multi-functional no-code solution
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is like excel or a spreadsheet program, crossed with a relational database - with added superpowers of automation. We have used it to build a highly extensive product catalog that is used across the whole business in such a way that will be externalised at a later date.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, only small elements of features, like the ability to aggregate totals across key parts of your base and report these via an embedded iframe feature
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very quick and easy to set up without waiting to hire developers or bring them across to your team. The power of this tool has been to allow my Operations team to build rapid MVPs that can be released to the whole company quickly and see efficiencies within one quarter. With technology, that's almost unheard of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent and flexible tool
Airtable is my favorite tool to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to use! I use airtable for every project I ever do because I can organize every piece of information all the while making it collaborative for each of the big and (mostly) ongoing projects I do for our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could intermingle the different bases so they could feed into a calendar but still keep different projects separate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization, organization, organization. It keeps everything neat and organized and it's so clean and readable.
Airtable change my life
What do you like best about the product?
The colors, the interface, the easy way to do everything
What do you dislike about the product?
Bigger fonts and more color palettes for free users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything, my workflow is so much better now. I always know what I need to do
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best thing to make everyone feel welcome at a workflow
LOVE AIRTABLE!!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility of creation. Collaborative interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to search for duplicate more efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team work with accessability to several of our staff with simultaneous access and modification tracking. I also use it for personal aspects. Think spreadsheet/database on steroids
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sky is the limit. Be creative.
Allows me to create work processes! So much easy to use customization
What do you like best about the product?
Wow -- I love how seamless (and pretty) the experience of Aitable is for how many features it packs in there. There is also now so many marketplace apps and templates that you can work off of.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little to not like. Especially because the free version allows you to do so much. The CS team is also so helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can create new workflows for internal purposes (e.g. file storage, inventory, project planning), as well as for client work (e.g. forms, centralized place to share information, product gaps (I used Airtable API to share data with our db)).
