Beautiful product, but potentially pricy
What do you like best about the product?
I love the look of Airtable. I'm a sucker for color coordination and visual organization, and thats what this does best. The blocks are great and versatile. If there's something you want to make, track, organize, etc, you'll probably find what you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real downside to this is the price. For me, the block features are the most enticing parts of this and you have to get PRO for that. Pro isnt too expensive on its own, but if you want to add collaborators the price quickly goes up. Luckily I'm using this for a non profit, so we get a very generous discount and we can make one user work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're maintaining a board and committee member roster and creating an org chart. Beyond that, I can see using this for project/event tracking as well. As a non profit, we plan and host several fundraisers every year, which I see this being a great tool for such an undertaking.
Excellent software for our needs
What do you like best about the product?
Record linking & grouping functions make it a super user friendly platform. Free version also offers many great features so it's not always necessary to switch to premium.
What do you dislike about the product?
No individual cell functions, features like color-coding are premium
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable as an inventory database for biotech research, and it's been instrumental in boosting efficiency
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out with a free week premium trial, and you can upload existing csv files to see if it works better for your needs.
Perfect for Organizing a Searchable, Visual Database
What do you like best about the product?
I love the layers of customizability and functionality -- you only use what you need but there's always room to grow. I'm also a huge fan of the "Gallery View", as it makes managing spreadsheets feel *nothing* like managing spreadsheets. The team collaboration options make it extremely easy to invite other team members to contribute.
What do you dislike about the product?
For my purposes, records move between tables often. It would be extremely valuable to be able to easily move a record from one table to another, or easily duplicate records. As of now it's possible, but a bit tedious. I also wish that Pro Plans allowed you to break up your Bases into sections. If you have unlimited Bases available, why force each Workspace to purchase separate plans? It seems like an easy fix to provide an additional and important layer of organization to Bases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I expect I'll be using Airtable for many tasks moving forward, but initially I needed a simple, clean, attractive system to digitize my nonprofit's rolodex -- essentially a fancy, information-rich and highly searchable address book -- including established contacts, potential contacts, organizations, partners, and sponsors. I spent several days researching and trying out different tools available, but all of the options were some combination of very expensive, clunky, or way more complicated than I needed. Airtable lets you build out a system that has exactly the fields that are useful to you with great search options. Plus the "Gallery View" makes for a beautiful way to browse our contacts (and remember faces!).
Finally!
What do you like best about the product?
I can use airtable for business and personal. I can manage all of my projects in one place. I also LOVE the form. I have yet to use all of the features and I am still blown away by this software.

Incredible Database and Project Management Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Airtable looks like a spreadsheet but functions like a database. The interface is very intuitive. There are features for attaching resources. Airtable is perfect for team collaboration. We can all add information to a project and all relevant relationships are updated. The blocks are cool also!

Airtable streamlines member data tracking
What do you like best about the product?
We enjoy the form view feature, which allows for seamless integration of end-users and internal record keeping. And of course, team collaboration is always a huge benefit, especially as parts of our team work remotely. We're also very happy with the flexible and well-documented API.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like the ability to link between bases, but it hasn't kept us from using Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously siloed information is now linked and automated. Updating one table means that the info is automatically updated in a linked table as well. It makes a huge difference in reducing the amount of manual data entry we need to do as an organization.
Easy to use, easy to collaborate, and versatile
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to get started. No advanced knowledge of relational databases is needed to create a useful workspace. The web tutorials are very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features missing from Airtable that would be very beneficial to have. One of these is reminders/notifications of deadlines in the calendar view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We developed a tracking database for a research program using Airtable. The secure web-based functionality of Airtable has made collaborating with colleagues seamless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an easy to use, flexible, collaborative product, Airtable is it!
