A great product, with a lot of flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable allows easily syncing from outside sources. In our case, we use it as a Project Management tool. It augments GitHub issues well, providing some of the more robust reporting capabilities that are lacking in GitHub. I also like the different automations available. The opportunities are endless.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if there was a little more flexibility in the Gantt/Timeline views to help streamline pm more easily. All in all, not much to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps us augment our work tracking system, by automatically integrating and pulling the work in to enable better reporting & visualization capabilities. We found that it was the best tool that was able to easily integrate (without custom development) and also provide robust project management tools to easily visualize work.
Airtable has been very beneficial for streamlining our processes at work
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to get started with simple tasks. You can do a lot of things without needing formulas or script.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not necessarily a dislike, but I would love more customization options in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps our agency create, refine, and simplify referral processes for different programs that we have for our community. From forms, to automations, Airtable helps us from beginning to end, and it just makes our work so much easier.
Airtable is a great tool- Excel on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
I use weekly to upkeep databases. Easy to understand and use. There are so many functionalities, I am still finding new ones every day. Whenever I wonder "hmm, I wish I could do this or that", lo and behold, Airtable allows me that functionality. I love that you can easily move data to and from Excel, since Excel is widely used across organizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too much to say. I've had no real bad experiences. I think I can say I dislike the fact that there are SO many functionalities, and I can't possibly learn all of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable solves the problem of needing a platform more niche than something like Excel. It has functionality and design tools that other platforms don't. It is easy to use and clear, easy to teach people and onboard. It has so many different views that fit the needs of different team members.
Great versatile tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the customizability without having to get deep in the weeds to make automation work. We use this for both marketing content/creative production and project management.
It's relatively easy to copy/paste/repeat for all of our projects, and has streamlined how we collaborate on marketing projects.
I do also love that they roll out new features relatively often. The community does a good job of upvoting needed features, and typically you see these happen within a few months.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to be able to show records from multiple tables on the same timeline/gantt. It's something our business needs for PM and production timelines, and currently there is no way to do that, especially in interfaces.
I also find the customization on the record details to be a little bit basic. I wish instead of long record pages, you could segment information on to different tabs so there is less scrolling.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves our need for having multiple software to do relatively similar things.
Great software to keep me organized
What do you like best about the product?
Very versatile. Keeps me organized. Love how it has automations built in, plus the ability to tie into other automation platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a little overwhelming to start, but then it becomes 2nd nature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to organize content and plan for social media posts and other automated actions.
A organizational, communication powerhouse... but not just for work.
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is a fantastic tool to organize work and then build presentable dashboards right out of where you do your documentation. This enables us to scale our reporting to stakeholders on cross functional teams, where not everybody is in the same apps. We can make a public facing interface to support self service check ins, but also automate updates or digests of changes that have happened in the projects we are tracking and easily have them automagically sent in Teams chats. Easy to stand up and to integrate. So easy that I have never had to use customer support. I use it in my job everyday; in fact, it seems like the bulk of my work takes place in my base.
But... there's more!
I have even started using AT at home for personal use... that's how useful I find it!

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the automations take a second to understand. But with persistence and effort, you can get them to work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to track all of the content variations that happen across our marketing site. This site has thousands of pages, and (will have) tens of thousands of content variations following 10s of audiences and subaudiences. This has all the chances to be very, very messy. But we are using Airtable to ensure that it is not messy. Biggest benefit is our reporting through interfaces though. Automations are key to this success.
Powerful, intuitive — but still needs some very basic functions
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable allows you to create workflows and organize data the way you want for your project. I use it to manage teams, contacts and raw data, like notes, for television production. It's so great to not have to mash up several different cloud apps (like Google + Office 365 + whatever that new hire happens to have installed). This is truly an all-in-one platform with so many features that I haven't even scratched the surface after months of usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting data can be cumbersome and not intuitive. The mobile app needs some love, as it takes a lot of taps to get to the data/tables you use most often — let me favorite tables! And most of all, the inability to merge fields is a huge blind spot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Honestly, the way that Airtable allows for guardrails for how data should be organized is the main reason it's great for my teams. In TV production, people don't often come with a technical or management background. As a result, organizing documents and data can just get messy real fast based on old and bad habits. Being able to create structure in minutes sets the stage for organization and success.
Excel on steroids, but not the most robust
What do you like best about the product?
Airtables great for data tracking, recording, and it has an awesome UI. Its simple and easy to learn, its automations are powerful and can do so much. My favorite thing about it would be the linking of tables because it allows for lookup fields which helps segment data so well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Downsides are few but they're there. One issue for me is how some automatons can't pull from certain fields. Often I'll have to create a new formula field that's just '={field]' for the automation to be pointed at in order for it to work. automations also can't delete records, which would be helpful. We try to use Airtable as a pseudo BI interface, but when we're storing data for a record for a particular date, it boxes us into that date. We can try to aggregate that info in other formula columns, but that makes it hard to filter for non-advanced users. I know the data is static but if there was a way to add some level of dynamic to it based on a date field or a specified user input, that would be incredible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our problem was that we we're selling a ton of products with no live catalog, everything was living in various excel sheets. Airtable gave us a collaborative platform where every team could log their data and share it across tables. This central location has allowed us to further automate and collaborate on various workflows to increase efficiency and better optimize how we work.
The best tool to manage projects
What do you like best about the product?
One of my favorite things about Airtable is how often they roll out updates based on what the community wants. It feels like they’re really listening and constantly improving. I also really appreciate the level of quality control you can have over your data. There are so many different ways to organize and use the information—plus, automations and syncs have saved me so much time on repetitive, manual tasks. It's a great way to empower associates and managers to find efficiencies in the mundane tasks of their jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to pick a downside, it’s that the platform can be overwhelming to teach to others. There’s definitely a learning curve, and it’s not something most people can fully grasp in just an hour. It really takes hands-on learning to “get it.” A lot of the resistance I’ve seen is more about people’s hesitation to dive into something new, but once they do, it’s absolutely worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has really helped streamline communication across our team and keeps everyone organized. Instead of juggling multiple tools or endless email threads, we can manage everything in one place—which has made our workflows way more efficient.
Airtable Understands Project Managers
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite things about Airtable are that you only need to add data in one place, you can adjust the data in multiple places, and you can create multiple views depending on who needs to see the data! Makes my life so much easier. Plus, I've started to really use interfaces, and that's been a game-changer. I use it for every project!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the automations could be easier/more intuitive. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data duplication -- We no longer are creating multiple spreadsheets with old data, but rather creating one base and collating all information there. It significantly reduces the headache of "is this still up to date? is it still relevant?".
