Great tool for team collaboration & Communication, and project management
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has been a great tool for collaboration and communication on projects across several teams. We like the ability to share bases with various rights and privileges, and also the ability to share view only access with anyone at the agency via a link.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, using the free version there is not an easy calendar view or gandt chart view like some other tools we've used. However, we will be upgrading to a paid version for improved features for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transparency and real-time information have been the key benefits in using Airtable to date.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We started searching for products to use for project management, and Airtable is great for this, but also for team collaboration, team communication, and data tracking. It is also very flexible and customization.
Wow! Solved our NGO's DB challenges in a hurry!
What do you like best about the product?
We were able to upload our existing Excel files for our clients and sponsors and customize them within AirTable very quickly. The multiple views of our data including the Blocks features, putting our data on maps and charts is exceptional. The ability to construct an input form for field data capture on smartphones is outstanding. AirTable solves many of our data challenges in a hurry!
What do you dislike about the product?
The price can be a bit of a challenge but AirTable provides discounts for charities that make it much more affordable and worth the investment!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to track our homeless clients in Cambodia from interview through to the building of their new homes and beyond. Airtable gives us many tools to do this very efficiently and effectively and to communicate with our teams and sponsors along the way. It will save us time and money and allow us to build more homes for the homeless. Thank you! 🙏🌞
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is definitely worth a look, especially if your team are not database professionals.
Staying organized and informed with Airtable
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the options and ability to have so much control over the tables and databases. You can create so many unique fields and columns to customize the databases to your exact needs. Even more so, I most like how easy it is to use!
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I don't have many (or hardly any) complaints. The one feature I would like to see eventually is the ability to link databases together, rather than only being able to link tables within one database. But there are ways to work around this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm hoping to solve several key issues in our area. The most important is to have one unified place to easily get important information and data from. This is helping to improve workflow, efficiency, and organization for several key employees.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this product to anyone that has plans to implement databases, especially if the thought of learning MS Access makes you uncomfortable. I'm blown away at the ease of use and how customizable it is.

They weren't kidding about organizing EVERYTHING
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can centralize a lot of information into one handy location, and that there are different views to present that information. Questions that used to take me 5 minutes or more to find the answer now take less than one. It's easy to use, designed well, and I haven't encountered any bugs so far. I also love the grouping and sorting functions, it has made a huge difference in organizing a lot of records.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that everyone at my workplace would use Airtable so the IT department would be willing to get an Enterprise account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work for a non-profit research organization, and my department has a lot of grants and fellowships I need to organize and keep track of. I also have a boss who travels a lot, and whose travel arrangements can be complicated, with a lot of details to manage. Airtable can function as an organizer of information but I also use it as a checklist. It has drastically improved my efficiency and effectiveness in getting tasks done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The beauty of Airtable is the ease of use and the flexibility with which you can use it. I use it to centralize and organize a lot of information and documents, but you could also use it as a checklist, program management tool, and probably many other ways I cannot think of right now. It's easy to collaborate with your team, and keeps everyone on the same page. To say that my work life has changed since I started using Airtable is not an exaggeration, it's just the truth.
Airtable solved our data management problems for a small non-profit
What do you like best about the product?
We love that this is both a spreadsheet and a database with relationships among tables. We made the move from google sheets and couldn't be happier. The API is also a huge benefit and allows us to connect our apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have some more text styling or for a way to access specific track changes via the api.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We simplified an error prone workflow and increased team collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your data is getting too difficult to manage in a spreadsheet application, consider moving to Airtable.
So Much Functionality in Such a Compact and Easy to Use Format!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility of the platform, which allows me to present information in a variety of formats. This really helps us to use the same database for planning, execution and reporting with really dynamic outputs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see the initial entry into the database streamlined a little. So many products are so impressive with "all that can be done..." that the user can often feel overwhelmed. While not a "big" problem with this particular product, it exists somewhat. I wonder how it would feel if there was a simple, "Three easy steps to getting started..." kind of intro for first-time users?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with many people who are integral to our work, but they are not located in our office...or even our city at times. This really provides a central information source and planning tool that brings us all together.
Solid Solution for Organizing People and Documents
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable provides features that Google Forms avoids. The ability to upload files, and then review form data—including uploaded files—just like a spreadsheet is extremely convenient. The ability to color code entries (with Pro version) creates a quick-review of responses to target specific needs at a given time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Where Airtable falls short is the lack of conditional logic in form responses (e.g. if respondent chooses D, then show this question). Google Forms has made this feature a standard, and yet Airtable seems to actively avoid implementing this functionality. That is truly disappointing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cataloging and managing information provided by students in a graduate degree program. By also accepting file uploads, Airtable allows us to create a one-stop student correspondence portal for graduate program administration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be on the lookout for progress in the feature set. Airtable might have power, but it lacks basic form functionality like conditional responses based on previous answers.
Great way to collaborate for a team
What do you like best about the product?
Syncs across multiple devices with showing who updated what last.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little confusing to work at first, but the tutorials help a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contacts lists and everyone being up to date all the time
