Excellent visual platform for "boring" data
What do you like best about the product?
The visual elements of airtable make it easy for me to get people excited about spreadsheets. My team is engaged in a way that they were not with Excel or Google. I love the secret link function which allows me to share what data I want with each manager, so that they don't have to slog through item after item of data that is not relevant to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could link two distinct bases. Some info is best kept discreet, but there are instances where linking would allow me to remove some manual processes. We have built a based to manage budgets and spending and it would be great if my budget plan base could "talk to" my budget tracking base. I feel that putting all of these tabs in one base will make it difficult for my team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allows me to track budget expenditures with a varied group of managers and support staff. We can develop reports in a visual way that is easy for the managers to read and removes duplicative processes that were necessary when using other software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A lot of the really desirable features are pay features. Do your research and consider your needs before switching as there is a cost - however I feel it is worth the cost for our organization.
Thanks for organising my organisation
What do you like best about the product?
I can keep track of program attendance, contact information and program evaluations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can sometimes be a bit confusing and requires a bit of research to find the quickest way to do something
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
People tracking and data management.
Transformational power and simple to use
What do you like best about the product?
We have radically changed the way we do our business by automating our process through a combination of platforms with Airtable being the heart and brain of our new operation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Eventually, part of our solution will move to a full database solution but Airtable gives us a chance with limited technical capacity to test and learn as we refine our business process. Truly revolutionary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the different views and connections trough Zapier to automate 80% of our administrative tasks. We have increased our operational efficiency by 50% and confidence by 200%.
Beautiful and user-friendly interface
What do you like best about the product?
Love the concept of Airtable and its gorgeous interface. The right move toward the future of communication and technology.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects are difficult to use and require significant getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of our business' documents are organized and easily available to all appropriate people.
Excellent tool for small non-profit organizations and SMEs
What do you like best about the product?
The use of pre-configured and reconfigurable templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
No opinion, still in the process of testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The reuse of a CRM for a non-profit organization. The development of our inventory and material management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's good!
Great for data collection and management.
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is great for collecting and organizing different kinds of data. The forms make is easy for everyone to submit data, and I use the table view to review the results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Great product overall; scrolling can be a little slow when there are a large number of records.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable for collecting and managing data. It makes it easy to track different kinds of data and link them together.
Great tool for inventory & asset management
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create forms that are automatically added to the database, the attachment capabilities (at a decent price for file storage), saving various views, and cross-referencing different bases. Right now, we're strictly using it as an informational database, not a working collaboration or task management, but I can see the uses growing as we discover more about the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, the only thing I've tried that I can't do is linking fields across different workspaces. That would be super helpful!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is the first product I've found that can handle our 3500+ song music library with attachments for a reasonable price and full features. We are constantly discovering new uses for AirTable to help manage events, tracking for grant applications, and managing our assets (such as costume inventory, music library, etc). Right now, we're in the process of transferring our various databases from spreadsheets to AirTable, and the various functions that are as easy as a spreadsheet to edit, but much more robust to use, are great. Things like read-only users, version history, and the many options for field types and saved views are real assets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product is easy to get started with right out of the box, but I'm sure we haven't even scratched the surface of its abilities yet. So far, we're pleased; I'd recommend taking a look at the sample bases provided by AirTable to see what some of the functions are.
Allow easy customization with high flexibility on how you want to share your online database
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to build your own online, relational database from scratch with AirTable and you can make changes on-the-fly. My review is based on past experiences with desktop MS Access, Access Web-app (which is going to be retired), and linking back-end SharePoint list with desktop Access for front-end user data entry. AirTable offers a much easier cloud-based solution than MS Excel and Access.
What do you dislike about the product?
AirTable gives the owner lots of options about how you want to share your tables and databases. While these many options may be useful for some people, I think it is a little too complicated (unnecessary) for people working on smaller project or with small team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm trying to build a relational database to keep track of measurable data over a 3-year project. If I use Excel (which can be shared using OneDrive), I end up needing multiple sheets and files. My co-workers find it difficult to keep track of data nicely in one place. If I use Access, it doesn't really allow easy collaboration and not many people in my team are familiar with Access. AirTable is a much user-friendly option.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simply create a free account and try it. It is very easy to use. I don't even need to contact their support for help.
Airtable - a great solution!
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple layout with a lot of features embedded.
The options for collaboration and sharing multiple levels of information easily with others is very useful.
Web-based so can access from anywhere.

Tracking projects, orders, shipments, installs, receipts, etc., etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free version is still robust. No loss to try it out. I bet you'll be glad you did, I was!
Powerful and Easy to Use Database and More
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is really easy to use, even for those with no database experience. The flexibility of the platform is great, and the community examples make idea generation really easy. The integration with Slack is also a plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly not much. We've had a lot of positive feedback during our initial utilization, with basically no negative feedback so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've found many uses for it including collaborative project management, client tracking, research tracking and more.
