Airtable is like a better, more integrated version of G suite
What do you like best about the product?
I love how helpful and organized the multiple views are -- the grid, form and kanban are most useful for our group -- and how powerful the integrations are. And, the UI is so intuitive and easy-to-understand, especially with the built-in color-coding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really think of much that I dislike. The benefits have far outweighed any cons we've encountered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking key data, managing finances and donors, coordinating events -- all in all, Airtable has helped us with organizing all the information that is usually spread out in multiple places.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you work with a nonprofit/grassroots group, I strongly recommend allocating funds to a robust tool like Airtable.
"A database that looks like a spreadsheet"
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable was pretty intuitive from the get-go. It functions very much like a spreadsheet mixed with interactive editing and chatting features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile version needs a lot of work. It's quite clunky and crashes easily. On both the desktop and mobile versions, it's very easy to delete cells and move things around, which might cause some panic at first. Luckily, actions are easily undone with a simple Ctrl + Z.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a freelance writer, article pitches are pretty easy to browse through and select using Airtable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Airtable is adequate for how the organization I work for uses it (small-scale task management). I'm sure there are other features that distinguish it from spreadsheets, but at the end of the day, that's how I view it: a glorified spreadsheet.
Solid Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is so simple to use and very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support could be quicker to respond, however they have always been friendly and helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this platform, we are going to track data related to our environmental education programs. Airtable has allowed us to store all of our data into one place, and even integrates with Google Forms which has been a major data collection tool for us.
Great for Team Collaborations
What do you like best about the product?
We are a small team that is split between 2 offices. This allows all of our work to be in 1 location without us physically being in 1 location. The instruction videos are also very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike yet though we are very new to airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great product for managing projects
What do you like best about the product?
The ease in which Airtable makes team collaboration
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like for the attachments to have a cleaner way of searching.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing projects and communicating with team members within separate projects has helped eliminate scattered conversations which has lead to improved efficiency and organization.
Great for managing a distributed team
What do you like best about the product?
We have started using Airtable to do project management over Global Fishing Watch. We are a distributed team that has three main areas: Research, Development and Communications. Finding a tool that adapt to both tech and non-tech people was a challenge, but Airtable is powerful while yet simple enough for everyone to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve for using views for non-tech people is a bit high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communications between our research, communications and development team. Give a broad view of the project to the full team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very powerful and yet simple solution that adapts can adapt to every need. Since it has a very spreadsheet like view, it is very easy for everyone to learn to use.
Non Profit Uses Air Table for Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
In the past I have used 2 program management software systems to do everything we need... plus multiple spreadsheets to maintain data for a team that works remote. I had finally gotten to a point where I thought I was going to have to hire someone to build something to help us because our multiple systems are a burden, and critical deadlines were missed. Until I found Airtable and so far it the perfect combination of all the items that we need to properly function and a decent calendar feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far there have not had any problems with the system. It is super easy to convert some of our excel files into workable tables on Airtable. Things that are industry specific can be adapted and imported in a matter of minutes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage different types of programs (5 separate programs and growing) and a remote team all with a robust schedule. We needed something more than just a task list and assignments... and the calendar feature on the pro is a life saver so far. We had yet to find a calendar feature that worked for the segmentation we needed until we used Airtable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
use the free trial, I found the functions to just test it out were super helpful.
Saves Time and Advances our Programs
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is that Airtable saves our team time through a collaborative, easy to navigate the system. It also allows us to make smarter decisions because all the pertinent information is in one place easily viewed a number of ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much- there are only a few minor things I have run into that I would change. For example: when there is a multi-select and you try to group it should not consider multi-selected one unique type but allocate them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saves time, more nimble, and smarter business decision marking
Excellent product for the spreadsheet-averse
What do you like best about the product?
Great for making databases! I don't have a lot of in-depth experience with database creation or management, nor with Excel, and I've found that Airtable allows me to handle all of my database needs without that type of training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much! I wish there was a bit more customization for public-facing pages, such as forms, but that's about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Volunteer registration, donor management, project management.
