Airtable helps our inventory management
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable helps our inventory management and product purchases. We appreciate being able to add filters and customize our forms according to our needs
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few fields that seem almost too literal. We use Airtable to track our purchases and when we need to add a new purchase, we have to right click on a row to add a row above it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We spent a lot of time trying to configure Zoho to work as an inventory and purchase management database before we settled on Airtable. The cloud based data transfer was efficient and adding new data is quick and easy. We now have a clean way to view our data and save a lot of time when we have to add new data. r
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We worked with Airtable support to make the transition easier. It saved a lot of time being able to rely on their team instead of trying to figure it out on our own.
Great software that could be used for a variety of purposes
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable is extremely versatile-- it truly can be used for a variety of purposes, and its integrations to other applications are great. Be it a hiring process for a small business or a company-wide survey, Airtable has the tools to make this process easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the learning curve is a little steep, and more resources should be provided for new users. However, once you get the hang of things, Airtable becomes a breeze to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Airtable for our hiring process, which allowed us to keep track of everything-- resumes, contact info, interviews, interview scores, interviewer notes, in one document. This made is extremely easy for the entire department to collaborate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Versatile product for a variety of uses. I would definitely recommend it and set up is fairly easy, so everyone should give this product a try to see if its right for them.
Best Project Management Tool I've Used
What do you like best about the product?
This isn't just a project management tool, it is also a fantastic data base to keep all the files when managing a project. It is very easy to set up the projects as long as you know how you want the project to flow. That might take a little time, but doing the work on the front end makes managing the project later a breeze.
Their customer service has also been very attentive when questions arose.
Many projects can be done on their free version, but the paid version opens up a lot of automations that can be very useful. You can even sent out forms or surveys for data capture and there are plenty of Zapier integrations between AirTable and other business programs.
It is very easy to communicate within a project with your team by @mentioning them. You can see all the communications between the collaborators in a stream within each project. It is very helpful to keep the communications in one place.

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing isn't totally clear when you are giving access to collaborators. So keep an eye out and make sure you only grant the highest level of access a person will need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to keep track of all our projects and know who was responsible for each component. We've used other project management tools, but this one was the only one that met all our needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can easily move a workspace from a list view to a kanban view and back again without loosing any data or insights.
Global Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Working across two continents (US and Africa), Airtable has simplified our team's workflow. Trying to manage our project via email had become burdensome and was truly untenable in terms of reviewing and editing draft documents. This has allowed our team the ability to complete tasks more quickly and avoid the "lost in email" problem that is so common in team projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the type of non-profit work we are doing, I would have preferred to save a bit of money by upgrading to the Plus plan (with educational discount), but we decided to pay the additional cost for the Pro plan. Ultimately, I am glad we did, but in the realm of global education, it is important to manage costs. The Pro plan's features certainly are powerful and worth the additional expense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved time management!!! All team members are accountable and engaged.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just jump right in and try it. You will be amazed at the ease of use. Watch the tutorials--they are great.
Great for Managing Data and Collaborating with Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to set up and the UI is clean and simple. It's very easy to import and add data, modify, and manipulate to better analyze your information. The ability to name different views, share them publicly, or add collaborators is extremely useful. Also, exporting or printing the result is simple as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to link cells/rows to other databases (not just tables in the same database). The workaround is to copy and paste data (or use a linking app like Zapier), but it seems like a simple solution to allow sources from other databases. Additionally, it would be nice to have cell linking WITH a filter based on the data in another cell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage over 100 adjunct faculty for a top tier University business program. It was much easier to manage the faculty contact information, courses they teach, and to set up the schedule by manipulating and linking the data. I was then able to share that information with the public and was confident of having all of my data in one location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you use the trial effectively - think and plan out your data fields to get the most out of the trial time. But other than using it to it's max, Airtable is pretty useful and easy to manipulate.
Great PaaS
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is extremely intuitive and easy to use. The documentation is also good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more customization with the fields and more granular user permissions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to create a sample inventory tracking system, build an event scheduler amongst other things
Innovative Learning Review
What do you like best about the product?
Team Collaboration and ability to share out results to stakeholders. Specifically, we can receive data, create reports and share results with affected users. Also, we like the ability to share out reports in many formats.
What do you dislike about the product?
No major dislikes at this point in our evaluation. It would be nice to turn off the index numbers of sheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We take voluminous data from various databases and collate into shareable links. Specifically, we take downloaded CSV files and manipulate them into reports that we share with stakeholders.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Need a mechanism for billing less than 50 users.
Remote Collaboration Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
It has been great to be able to collaborate smoothly and intuitively with colleagues around a similar data set.
What do you dislike about the product?
The view settings are a little bit difficult to navigate, but it is likely the size of my screen that is causing the annoyance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this for staff management, and org charting. We will likely use it of operational data management and collaboration as well.
A powerful and easy to use system for keeping all of our information organized!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to understand spreadsheet interface and simple linking of records between tables.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would love to have an auto time stamp when records are updated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m in charge of membership for a non-profit, summer camp staff alumni association. Before Airtable, we were maintaining a google sheet with 3,500+ names / contact info.
Airtable has helped us to:
Better manage our membership information
Increase participation at our events
Improve on our communications
Be more efficient in tracking donations

Total Game Changer
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Airtable is the functionality. It has the power of excel, google drive, Microsoft, but its functionality is superior to all of these.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that this program requires a learning curve for those who are not familiar with it...this takes time if you are building from the ground up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this program as a Case Management system for our small nonprofit. In the future, we will track the data of young people from the journey from homelessness to being housed in safe and secure housing.
