Perfect one-stop shop
What do you like best about the product?
Can't really just pick one thing. I love the versatility for whatever I need to organize, whether it's planning an event, managing a content calendar, or a research log. I love the ability to include photos right in the cell. I love the sort and group functions , and the multiple views! So many, many ways to manipulate and view all the same data!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really stands out as a problem. Would love to have the ability to link between bases, so we can really create a centralized database for some of our uses but definitely can live without.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to become familiar with the application because there is a lot of useful tools packed inside of it. The more you learn about it the more useful it can be for your company as a whole. There can be a learning curve in the beginning but just keep playing with it. Setting up the bases will really help you clarify what kind of data you're collecting and why.
Really easy to use, intuitive, and functional
What do you like best about the product?
so easy! visually appealing! really makes organizing big project much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that bases could link to other bases - as it is Tables within Bases link to each other - means our Base has a ton of tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of all the programs and projects our arts council has going.
Ideal for Project Management and Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable has allowed our nonprofit organization to put important and diverse data for our various programs in grantmaking and professional development in one place. Instead of working off of various Excel sheets, we are able to stay organized, streamlining project tasks, outcomes, and disparate details. It's easy to use and has a clean design as well. We appreciate the ability to visualize things differently such as spreadsheet, kanban, or calendar views.
What do you dislike about the product?
We don't have any real issues with AirTable, but certainly we had to invest some time to best understand and consider best practices for linking data within a base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a field where nonprofit organizations often face challenges relating to staff capacity, AirTable has allowed our organization to maximize our staff time and reduce email communication.
Easy to use, customizable
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is flexible and easily customizable which is perfect for a young organization that is constantly evolving our systems and processes. It isn't as overwhelming as a huge system would be, but allows us to flexibly link records and create external views.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could mass-edit records using the checkbox and it would be amazing to be able to email through the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as a CRM and ATS. It saves us a lot of messy excel sheets and using email to manage processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great if you're too small for something as robust and involved as Salesforce, but can't manage with just google docs anymore.
Online Report Collaboration for University Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable was exactly the online database tool our University team was looking for. We needed to convert from using spreadsheets to an online system to track our retirees with the goal of better communication among different teams across campus in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
We like everything as Airtable is meeting all of our needs and so much more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With our cross campus collaboration, we needed to limit what data other teams could view to do their jobs and Airtable’s shareable views did just that. Airtable exceeded our expectations with easy setup from the start, advanced formula options, and intuitive design. Rapid setup and easy to use database team collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Airtable as a fast and affordable option as an alternative to spreadsheets and local databases.
Excellent collaborative database tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy to use Airtable is and how beautiful the end result is. Gallery views are fantastic and I use them to share information with my students all the time. Form submissions to add information has been transformative to my tracking of student projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't dislike anything. I do wish you could use the gallery view on the iphone app, but I know they're working on that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to track progress on projects and to manage tasks with large teams. For example, I have all the students submit their paper topic via a form and then it's immediately visible to them in a saved gallery view so they can see what all the claimed topics are and see who might be a logical research partner. This way they also don't all try to work on the same topic as they can immediately see each others' topics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out and see if it works for your needs. The free version was enough for our purposes for nearly a year.
Easy, intuitive and functional
What do you like best about the product?
All the ease of use of an excel sheet and all the functionality of Access database with added tools to work online and to create nice and beautiful reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price could be high for little companies or foundations that need to buy the license for several users. It could be nice to have a downloadable version to work offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to manage everything: projects, tasks, databases... It is really easy and usefull to improve the productivity, and to encourage and facilitate the team work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and you will decide for it
A Growing Platform for a Growing Program
What do you like best about the product?
I coordinate a growing film program, and I like the ability to have large amounts of data at my fingertips. It's very easy to setup databases and link the data across datasets. I appreciate the design aesthetic. It feels very modern and fun but not cutesy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the iOS apps to be a little more robust. You can do basic data entry on them, but you can't create all the views available in the web app. Having access to data offline in the iOS app seems to be a key missing feature. I'd like to see more customization in forms and views.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a growing educational film program, we need to coordinate both students and equipment in a way that maximizes resources. Airtable allows us to visualize a lot of data very quickly. We are able to get large amounts of data directly from the student and streamline a lot of our old paper processes.
Still learning the ropes, but easy to build out what you need
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the platform is there because the range of fields is fairly thorough without being unwieldy. And this includes the ability to link to other tables (making this a true database and not just a workbook).
What do you dislike about the product?
This seems like the sort of platform where because we can set it up without guidance, the first couple of bases we set up will not be so great as we'll make mistakes in set up. But we're prepared to grow and adapt as we go. The high volume of bases allowed means we can just create a new one when we figure things out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using it for a multi-channel editorial calendar. It's easier to work with than the Google spreadsheet we were using in the past.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time and check out their extensive video library of instructionals. Also, check out the example bases that they offer. There's more there for you to see all the possible ways of setting up the tool for a wide range of management scenarios where you would otherwise be trapped in spreadsheet land.
Amazing Software
What do you like best about the product?
I've been searching for a visually appealing, easy to use, easily accessible database for so many years that I gave up and created my own filemaker database on a personal server. Stumbling upon this app has completely changed that. Airtable is perfect for my needs; easy to use, adaptable but super powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The IOS app is currently a little limited but I'm hoping this will be addressed in the near future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has essentially replaced several pieces of software for me. It acts as my CRM, my Inventory tracker, my project planner and my schedule planner. What I love is that I can now tie all this info together and using things like Zapier, can automate a lot of my processes.
