Great tool for collaborative spreadsheet work
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has quickly become a crucial part of our work flow management. We are able to instantly access updated real-time databases across all of our community school sites!
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point we haven’t found any issues with Airtable!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving a longtime problem around managing a single database across multiple sites.
The database that keeps on giving
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that the data is so easy to manipulate is one of Airtable's greatest features. Linking records can be confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's so easy to adapt to what you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of functionality around formulas is frustrating, particularly date-based formulas. In this sense, Excel or Google Sheets still remains superior, but there are definitely workarounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking of out events, individual's progress on tasks, and easy reporting. Before we transitioned to Airtable, monthly reporting used to take a few hours to collate all the data. Now it's done in less than 15 minutes - huge savings in time!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend!
Brilliant, easy to use, powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, ease of use, and its combination power as both a data management and project management tool. This is a weird thing to say, but it makes us happy - empowered and in control of our data, with tools to improve work flow and collaboration as a team.
What do you dislike about the product?
This isn’t a dislike exactly, more like a realistic caution that because Airtable is really, really easy to use straight out of the box, it takes a little while to understand both its constraints and its real power as an analytic and reporting tool. If you need to go beyond a simple dataset, you totally can - just be ready to give the investment of time and thought that you would in any traditional database design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud technology means all data is secure and available real-time for all our team, wherever they work. It eliminates the need for costly in house or external consultants with technological expertize that as a small nonprofit we just cannot access. The collaboration features are really stellar, for example, we can send a link to an instructor that gives them real time data on course registrations as they come in, eliminating the need for creating and emailing multiple reports.
Easy to Use!
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable is super easy to use and really flexible!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm only limited by my creativity with the program - but I would love more ideas to help me get started! The library is a super helpful place to start, though!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in a school, and we use it to track a number of student items (bathroom log, facilities requests, etc.)
Great management tool for a non-profit
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has almost everything we need. Our team uses it for event management, network and engagement, and project updates. We track everything including bookings, deadlines, grants and expenditure. From our old spreadsheets, we transformed our data into a powerful system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike to be honest. Becoming familiar with the app may take a while, but once you're set up and running, the world is your oyster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our internal organisation has improved lots since we started using the app. We are collaborating better as a team, keeping track of our current projects and recording new ideas, as well as establishing standardisation of processes. The main benefit is that all the information we need lives in one place.
An Excellent, Modern Database Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable was first recommended by a colleague as a solution to managing our social media workflow. As we dug into the features, we quickly realized the possibilities of using Airtable to integrate our entire event-based workflow. From creating a directory of people to managing events from concept to historical archive, Airtable is an extremely flexible platform. The integration possibilities with Zapier and the newly released Block features make this an ideal platform for our organization. It just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a lot you can do through cross-referencing items in Airtable, and unfortunately the appearance of spreadsheet can be confusing initially. This leads to a lot of trial-and-error when building a working database and training new users. While the documentation is rich and extensive, more how-to guides for less tech savvy users would go a long way in a transition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has helped our organization collaborate and share information across departments. In the past, we would create individual spreadsheets every time someone needed specific information. With Airtable, the majority of our information lives in one place, and communication between departments is already increasing. The possibilities for automation with Blocks and Zapier have been very helpful in slowly moving workflows over, such as by creating an automated social media and email history in Airtable. Rather than overwhelm with information, the ability to make custom, personalized views that connect with the main database really brings the program to the next level.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's a lot possible with Airtable, so experiment and you're bound to find solutions that you weren't expecting to find.
Airtable works well for a more extensive Excel like experience that can be easily shared.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the easily expandable feilds that are completely customisable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the steps to printing feilds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recruiting for my company is all kept in tact in AirTable to keep track off every step we take and who we do it with.
Great CRM!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is extremely easy to use and is very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to connect Zapiet to use integrations, which is a cost that we’re not willing to incur.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We store all of our contact information and our directories in one place for the company to access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not be afraid to play around with the features of their bases.
Outdoes Excel in Ways I Didn't Know Were Possible!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is so helpful because it uses your data to create more insight on your project or team. By using data that already exits, Airtable can help you make additional connections by grouping, having menu options as data, and creating text and numerics. It created a multitude of new ways for me to look at, analyze, and streamline my data...and it truly feels now like a database.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure if it is in the premium plan, which includes "blocks," but it would be interesting to integrate tables and graphics into my data. It would add an additional visual element that might be useful and continue to rival Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Airtable to track my programs members, I am able to notice and make connections that I never considered. It is helping me to think of knew ways to connect and grow our activities, by simply showing me data I haven't looked for before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try adding columns and data you don't think you need, they might actually help you realize new connections when you start linking sheets and cells.
Great for non-profits
What do you like best about the product?
Our summer camp uses Airtable to combine and link information from our old mess of multiple Excel spreadsheets, and to provide high-level summaries and metrics for our program team. We track everything including bookings, purchasing, supplies and tech assets, grants, financials, staffing, scheduling and much more. With its ease-of-use, all of the options to group and report on data, and features like maps and other app integrations (through Airtable Blocks), we're still learning how powerful Airtable is, but we're excited for what it has done for our camp.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a handful of features we'd like to see, including linking between individual Bases and a version we could install locally on our own servers, aren't present at the time of this review.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit we get from using Airtable is helping us to provide actionable metrics for our program team drawn from a dozen or more different sources of information, allowing us to run our program more effectively.
