What Excel wishes it was
What do you like best about the product?
I frequently get sent spreadsheets at work that contain a lot of data. Some of my colleagues make great sheets that utilize excel/ google to the upper bounds of its limits. After using airtable, even these sheets feel flat. The ability to visualize, manipulate, and share data is truly unmatched with airtable. I've loved getting to know and use the product over the past few years and am constantly impressed by new updates and use cases. The community behind the product is amazing and helpful, and the company does so much to support user-driven learning. Any time a new project comes up, my team knows to expect my first approach to organize everything will be to do it in airtable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The hardest thing that I found with airtable was figuring out how to utilize it as inital user. I didn't really understand what I was doing so it was hard to understand all of the features. Before they offered the webinars and other learning tools they do now, it took working with some power users from my organization to really see the potential. Every once in a while I get myself into a tricky spot and I can't seem to figure out how to do what I want, the growth in the community support has been helpful over the years in figuring out what is possible and how best to do what I'm looking to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to make data useful year over year! As with a lot of organizations, mine tends to be awash with endless historical documents with data that is useful, but that lives in a bunch of different places and formats. It's not easy to use, it's not easy to find, so it doesn't really help. Airtable has been great for actually creating living documents that can be added to year over year and allow us to see clear paths from where we started to where we want to go.
Great Tool, Easy to Use!
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use and intuitive, you can figure out how to do quite a bit just by exploring and playing around within a base. Especially like the different views to view data, forms, and notifications that can be set up based on forms or just anytime new data is entered. Their customer support is also great; very responsive, they are proactive about alerting when anything in Airtable might be down or slow, and they have a multitude of resources to help you learn how to do just about anything within Airtable that might be a little bit more complex or that you feel you just need a bit more guidance on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the filtering might make you think that some of your information is missing if you forget that you have your data filtered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are a more interactive and visually appealing form of Excel.
Since 2020 I have been building Operational Excellence with Airtable
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable allows me to build digital tools on my own. Year by year, or rather month by month, more and more advanced features are available.
Thanks to Airtable, Digital Transformation in my organization is fast and with a lot of fun. Our activities are aimed at work efficiency and at the same time at the satisfaction of users and participants of digitalized processes.
After implementing Inretfaces, Airtable has gained a new dimension as a full-fledged tool for business analytics, and the ability for distributed users to add data using Forms causes a fast and cost-free increase in important data from users, which we previously either did not collect or neglected, storing on local PCs.
Airtable Interface capabilities allow you to build complex dashboards with capabilities sometimes unattainable in other specialized BI platforms. For example, combinations of charts, forms, and attachment repositories on a single dashboard.
The ease of working with Airtable has resulted in a rapid increase in the competence of creating digital tools by non-IT employees. Thanks to this, over the course of several years we have developed dozens of useful tools and management systems across the entire organization.

What do you dislike about the product?
For today, I am writing "for today" because watching the development of Airtable I expect that in the future these functionalities will be expanded, I miss two things.
First, the ability to create more complex data charts in Interfaces. And second, a mobile application for Android supporting Interfaces.
I am writing of course from the point of view of an advanced, long-time user building large management systems.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable supports the digitization of distributed processes in which SCADA, MES or ERP systems cannot be used.
Task, project and project portfolio management have gained a new dimension thanks to Airtable.
Thanks to the ability to independently shape databases, forms and user dashboards, the efficiency of project portfolio management has increased by hundreds of percent. I have had experience with management systems and each of them had its limitations in creating functionality tailored to a specific organization.
I also built a Daily Management System on a scale never used before. The system is also tailor-made. It is amazing that thanks to the ease of development with Airtable, we expand it every month with new functions and our systems grow with the growth and development of Airtable.

10/10 Always
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is excel on steroids. It's intuitive; easy to use, share, and it's a fantastic tool to help you analyze information at scale, or, to use when building a product. Implementation is easy (it even helps you stay organized), their customer support is very helpful, they recently rolled out a new feature that helps you with hard formulas (which helps eliminate time waiting for help/ support), it integrates with just about everything and has an API if an integration doesn't exist. We use this tool every single day - and I don't know how my team would be able to work so quickly across multiple projects without it.
I've used it at multiple companies, championed it internally to have the organization purchase the Enterprise plan so that we could enable our clients to have more transparency into their projects, and have influenced others in purchasing and using it.
Safe to say - I am a huge fan.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you have someone who is a slow adopter or is a luddite -- getting them to adopt to Airtable can be challenging (because they do not want to put their email in). Other than that - there's nothing else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping us scale quickly (no code dev), managing projects and product development efficiently. It also helps my team keep track of every single thing they do - so clients always know what's going on on their project(s).

Most efficient database
What do you like best about the product?
I love the security and organization of Airtable. Everything in Airtable practically has tutorials or help articles so you'll never feel helpless. It can also handle many records or data entries while still being efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how you are limited to only 50 automations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me and my company, Airtable makes it easy to manage, create, and edit records or fields in my database. This benefits us because it reduces our workload on records. Automations has also been really helpful for us.
Airtable makes me more efficient and allows me to quickly look at data to make quicker decisions.
What do you like best about the product?
One table can feed multiple tables so I only enter data once.
What do you dislike about the product?
The code can be complicated and I don't have the time to learn the code to go deeper with my data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple people accessing one datapoint.
Improves organization, visibility, and efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
I love the seemingly unlimited functionality and customization you can achieve with Airtable. They have hundreds of templates that work straight out of the box and it's super easy to tweak 'em however you want or even build one from scratch. The more you USE it, the more USES you find for it, and the more you wonder how you lived without it. It's quick to learn, easy to use, and great for both team and personal use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I might be remembering incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure they've upped the ante to use certain features. Ones that used to be free are now behind a paywall or require an upgrade. However, I've been on a few different subscriptions so I could just be getting them mixed up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From a business standpoint, Airtable has given us much more visibility into projects and people so we can manage both more effectively. It's greatly improved organization and communication within our team and when working with freelancers/agencies.
Solution for Lots of Moving Parts
What do you like best about the product?
This tool has been especially helpful for managing large volumes of data that needs to be administered for a large pool of program participants. It easily disseminates the information for those folks, while also keeping everything manageable for me as the admin. Most important to that is the function of Automations and extensions, that allow AirTable to have some of the functions of a CRM, with much greater flexibility to manipulate and filter data as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occassionally, there are clearly missing features that would be standard on other products. like allowing for records to update in 2 directions, so if the data is changed in one place, that is reflected in the other. Typically AirTable only allows for 1 directional updates, except in certain scenarios with syncing that often requires data to be managed down to very small details.
Also, while the tool really works great for non-users that just need to access information or fill out a form, it has a pretty steep learning curve for users. It very much needs an admin, and either a unanimous agreement on how data will be entered by users or extremely meticulous attention to detail in setting up the initial sorting/plan for each base and dataset.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It primarily solves our need for spreadsheets that easily cross reference each other, so we only have to edit data in one place to have it updated everywhere. This specifcally allows us to have different views for different needs, and speeds up a project.
It also solves some 1-1 communication challenges by allowing for easy automated communication based on dynamic data, which eliminates steps for us as a very small team.

Excellent software that went from work-only use to personal life management system
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to automate functions and trigger specific groups based on certain input criteria. Setting up fields and automations is very easy and it is very easy to train personnel to interface and build their own systems. Using this not only as a daily task tracker, but also an inter-departmental communication channel makes cross functional processes operate smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
The differences between mobile and desktop interfaces make certain functions more difficult to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, record keeping, communication, action team triggers through automation
