Flexible in application. Inflexible in Pricing.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a well designed tool that is generally intuitive to build and design tools with both for internal and external use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The automation tool would be next to useless due to the limit on how many automations you can have, how long automation chains can be, and the inability to layer conditionals more than one deep. The ability to use webhooks and custom javascript saves it from this ultimately. Despite the the custom scripting, the hard cap on how many automations you can run in a month with no overages and no option to increase makes it a less than optimal choice. Zapier has proved a better option for automating. In addition to this, the cost of adding users is incredibly prohibitive. They price it as though they expect it to be you CRM or Project management service in and of itself, despite not being even close to the best option. My primary complaint is the in flexibility of AirTables pricing scheme. They have a couple of sizes and if they don't fit you exactly, you are better of finding a different service, or you will need to supplement with a different service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use airtable as the backend database.
Waiting for Japanese

Flexibility, and power. I love it although I am struggling to understand how to do automations. Its a great tool and the Japanese is waiting for it. When will you develop a solution for Japan including a support network, etc.

No Japanese interface and provider network or support.

There is a point where it does not scale, given it becomes slow to run with enough rows / data.

I’ve used it as a no-code front end for MVP. Managing tasks. And running certain automations.
Great tool for so many needs

Flexibility, ease of use, deep customization capabilities, integrated interface designer, scalability, approachability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be costly when you add a lot of team members, especially when they are infrequent users. Too strong of a focus on marketing automation and tech focused product development. Could be better at solving for cross industry problems.

Downsides would be some of the tutorials online aren't easy to access. There is always a website issue when trying to access help tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is removing the need for weekly email blasts as all information is updated in real time. The slack integration is very helpful.
Simple, visual, and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable is how it gives you the structure of a spreadsheet without feeling like a spreadsheet. You can customize everything, view your info in a way that actually makes sense (calendar, kanban, gallery—whatever works), and link related data so you’re not juggling five different tools. It’s basically the love child of a database and a planner.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Airtable is that the learning curve can be a little annoying at first—especially if you’re not super techy. It looks simple, but some of the features (like linked records or formulas) can get a bit confusing until you play around with it. Also, some of the best features are locked behind the paid plan, which is kind of frustrating if you’re trying to keep costs low.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is solving the chaos of trying to run a business out of a million Google Docs, sticky notes, and scattered spreadsheets. It’s helping me centralize everything—client info, content planning, launch timelines, even podcast tracking—into one streamlined hub. The biggest benefit? I actually feel organized. I can see everything at a glance, track progress, and stop wasting time hunting down random notes or re-creating the same systems over and over.
User friendly and can be expanded to fit all needs
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable stands out for its user-friendly design, making it accessible to both tech-savvy users and those without any programming experience. Its clean interface combines the familiarity of a spreadsheet with the power of a database, allowing users to easily sort, filter, and organize data without feeling overwhelmed. With drag-and-drop functionality, color-coded labels, and intuitive collaboration tools, teams can quickly get up and running without a steep learning curve. Whether you're managing a content calendar, tracking inventory, or planning an event, Airtable's simplicity makes it easy to stay organized and focused.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support could be improved. Finding help with API's was difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting data for our campaigns, helps us give personalized reporting dashboards.
Airtable- the best visual database!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to incorporate images has been very useful for our research projects using databases in Airtable. Linking records is intuitive and the interface is very easy to use! I've also enjoyed integrations from Google worksheets as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only improvement I would like to see is a better export format for the gallery version of the database. It would really be nice to customize that so we could easily create printed versions of our database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data organization and integration. Allowing us to combine data from multiple projects into nice overviews.
Airtable Use in Robotics College Course
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable is how it combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the powerful features of a database. It's intuitive to use, visually clean, easy to implement across a class (large groups) and makes it easy to organize and collaborate on projects, especially with customizable views and automation options. When using it often it is easy to load and restart with our VS Code support software.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Airtable is that some of the more advanced features—like automation runs, record limits, and syncing—are locked behind higher-tier plans, which can be limiting for smaller teams or students. It can also get a bit overwhelming when managing large bases with lots of linked records. Also sometimes it's hard to get a hold of individual users token if we are trying to cross collaborate on the same platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For a robotics college course where we were tasked to use iRobot Create 3 Bots to automate pancake making, Airtable helped me break down and organize the pancake-making process by turning each task into a table—like prepping ingredients, mixing, cooking, and plating. I used it to track each stage step-by-step, with checkboxes, timers, and notes for consistency. Automating parts of it, like setting reminders for flipping or cooling time, made the process smoother and more efficient. It turned a simple task into a well-managed workflow!
I love Airtable and it is an essential design and communication platform for my team.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease to use and share and functionality. Great design and is a great communication tool to share with our development partners.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the drop down choices. I wish I could create visuals in the drop down menus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication with people using visuals when we don;t speak the same langiuage. organization and availbility of product via Airtable and we use 3D imaging and video to communicate product.
