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
Airtable is a Complete GameChanger for Startups and SMBs
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is an absolute gamechanger for startups and SMBs. It allowed my company to quickly build all the backend systems we needed to run our business. Now everyone is in perfect sync, can easy connect to the information they need, and automations keep everyone informed in real time and reduce huge amounts of manual work.
All the data on work management shows you can save employees 3 hours or more a day by having smooth seamless systems, this can seem like an exagerration from the outside, but with experience we have found it to be true. Airtable has saved us vast amounts of time and confusion, and allowed us to build systems custom-tailored to our exact business processes. Before no code tools like Airtable, it was extremely expensive to devote developers to building backend tools (which didn't always work), but now you can build them yourself and get exactly what you need. My team uses this product often every single day.
Any startups still running on spreadsheets, get off them now and get on Airtable. It will pay for itself many times over in no time.
I couldn't recommend Airtable more.

What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable is an absolutely fantastic tool. It has many templates and quick start features so you can get value out of it immediately.
To create the most robust system and get the most value out of it, I suggest being ready to invest learning effort in Airtable. It's advanced features are similar to learning spreadsheets, but more time consuming. However, each one you learn will give huge payoffs. This isn't a downside, as the tool is useful from the start, and just gives larger payoffs as you invest and learn more. But I suggest devoting learning time to get the truly high payoffs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable keeps everyone in my business coordinated, with all the business information they need right at their fingertips - project information, production schedules, POs, invoices, inventory information, sales data etc. It provides the perfect business backend system.
I recommend Airtable to everyone!
What do you like best about the product?
I love all of the different ways you can view information. I use the templates often which makes my job easier. It's intuitive and easy to use and they are always expanding the capabilities of the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to easily meet with an Airtable rep to discuss how I want to use it and have someone help me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made it easy to track our new hires and see survey responses. We didn't have a good system for this before. I use it all the time to keep track of internal communications and virtual meeting sign ups.
Excellent Resource for a Small Nonprofit
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable allows our team to connect all the facets of our organization's work, tracking workflows and centralizing information with super flexible interfaces. Additionally, the online tutorials and help resources allowed our small team to implement AirTable quickly and easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a small nonprofit, more design features when creating interfaces would allow us to use those interfaces as public-facing, as opposed to our current system of extracting data for branded reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our nonprofit does multiple, often unrelated tasks, as well as the normal business of tracking contacts, grants, volunteers, and donors. The flexibility of AirTable means that we can track all our functions in one system and connect the dots internally, which we couldn't do in more traditionally designed and sales-focused systems.
Was hesitant, now a huge fan
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of being able to not only store data but to easily use filters and sort in order to analyze data
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish there was a vlookup function. Sometime linking does not work (when you are using a formula field for lookup
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing us to get away from having a million spreadsheets and keeping our data easily organized in one place
Life Changing Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I use AirTable for most everything I do. I have expanded my use of AirTable over the past 5 years and have watched it grow and used each new feature when they are rolled out.

I have contacted customer support numerous times over the past 5 years and have always had a positive experience

Automation visibility, accounting, user and group management, project timeline tracking, calendar integration, reporting and KPIs
