Intuitive, Robust, and Highly Effective at Simplifying the Complex
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Airtable to help improve many business process flows and data organization. Before we implemented Airtable on our team, everyone was using different tools to manage their work, but no one knew what it was that we were doing collectively, as a team. Now, everyone has visibility into who is doing what and when it needs to occur. We've automated tasks, we've built out templates, and everyone is more efficient because of it. The effort to go from nothing to something that simplifies the complex was very little... it's easy to use, intuitive, and aligns nicely with applications that folks are already aware of and using daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the only downside I can think of about using Airtable is the lack of automation capabilities compared to say, Make or Zapier, but it has drastically improved over the last couple of years. Ideally I'd love to keep everything within Airtable, but, have had to utilitize Make and Zapier at times.
Other than that, there really is no downside to using Airtable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I stated earlier, we were very disorganized as a team before implementing Airtable. Everyone had their own way of tracking tasks and projects and the right arm didn't know what the left arm was doing. Implementing Airtable has not only made us more efficient by using automations, but also to simply understand where bottlenecks occur and provide insights into our plan, tasks, strategy overall.
Solves multiple problems
What do you like best about the product?
We've been able to solve a few problems across different bases within Airtable; a cross-departmental calendar system with filters that provide different views for different teams and use-cases, and a work intake process to track workloads, deadlines and status. Automations have alleviated the need for emails and centralized project status, and for each problem we wanted to solve, it was easy to find a feature that met our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are still managing projects in another software, although using Airtable's timeline, filters and list features to make better sense of the work. Ideally, moving fully into Airtable would be ideal, but we manage projects at the task-level, with multiple reviews, approval and long conversations within, so the current features don't really meet our needs (and we have far too many projects happening simultaneously to adapt).

Amazing System!
What do you like best about the product?
Aitable provides dashboards and spreadsheets that are easy to manipulate and view whatever data you are looking for. One of the things I love most about Airtable is that they are always looking to improve. They do an incredible job of communicating with users on any updates that they make. The interefaces, which are their dashboards, are extremely user friendly to put together but also look great for external users. We utilize Airtable every day to contain all of our data for a hard money lending business, flipping business and for rentals. Airtable is completely customizable, but they also provide templates to help give you a solid starting point. If I ever have any issues with formulas or making a view or interface do what I need it to do I know customer support will get back to me in less thatn 24 hours with a solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is extremely easy to update fields - this is a pro and a con. We have a few users who need to update certain fields but I'm always cleaning up some of the data to make sure there aren't duplicates or blank spaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spreadsheets for everyone to view, dashboards for anyone to see and also easy to track where are business is at. It also has automations that we utilize to make our company more efficient.
I unironically carry an Airtable tote bag
What do you like best about the product?
Allows multiple systems to be contained in the same place, and to be visualized in ways that work for each of my teammates—so I'm basically in it every day, if not every hour. Easy to pick up. Small quality of life improvements, like simple sorting/filtering and forms that integrate with spreadsheets or Google Docs. I've been able to implement it for multiple new teams without much up-front time drain. I've started keeping personal organization in here, too, from my spreadsheet of library books to event registration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Small bugs like routine refreshes in my Project Management app that kick me out mid-sentence, or quality of life improvements like the ability to make an expanded notes field bigger. My colleagues who work directly with customer support, particularly over billing (we're a tax exempt org), have found that experience frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team has many functions that my operations colleagues and I support—event planning, website management, communications, sponsor highlights, project management, staff professional development—and Airtable continues to make that more and more streamlined, without forcing me to hop between multiple apps and systems to complete my day's work. Every several months, one of the new features makes a huge positive impact on the way I do my work; most recently, the Project Management app conveniently came out right as I took over office project management, and saved me immense time, letting me hit the ground running instead of taking ages to design a functional tasklist for disorganzied projects.
Making streamlining workflows easy - and fun!
What do you like best about the product?
I have enjoyed using Airtable in my work as both a freelancer and an event manager for years! Airtable makes it so easy to customize your workflows, and standardize them across teams. Using Airtable, I was able to design a set of bases that saves our team an estimated 50 hours of work a week. We use Airtable all day, every day, and it was so easy to integrate these tools into our existing work flows.
I appreciate all the great work the Airtable team puts into releasing product updates and keeping users informed. There are also so many great resources that aid in learning how to maximize your use of Airtable.

What do you dislike about the product?
I realize that there can be what feels like a huge learning curve when first getting started on Airtable. But as I said, Airtable provides ample resources for users to learn quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has helped solve gaps in communication across teams in our department. This has made my workflows feel more seamless and efficient.
Airtable is now my home page to everything
What do you like best about the product?
I've been in my role for just over two years, and from the start, one of my boss's main goals was to transition everything—and I mean everything—into Airtable. As we're in events and programming, this meant using Airtable for revenue tracking, event management, inquiries, and even creating and storing contracts. It quickly became a key part of my daily workflow.
Airtable's user-friendly interface makes it simple to navigate, and I’ve found the community "how-to" pages incredibly helpful for seamless integration. I also appreciate the platform's flexibility; it's highly customizable, allowing each user to tailor it to their unique needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I wish there were more pre-programmed widgets or apps to use, especially in forms I find myself coding and script-writing quite a bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable makes it possible to keep everything we do in one place, which is incredible. AND, each view can be tailored to fit exactly what we need.
Best tool to help communicate across different teams
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create forms, record data, and implenent marketing plans. It is extremely easy to create new bases to house the data needed. We use it to collect applications, implement marketing goals, and report end of day notes to the entire team. Automations to other applications like Slack and email is extremely powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The billing can be confusing. However using it daily, we will pay almost anything. The lack of ability to share certain interfaces without an airtable login.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us the ability to house different segments of our business to collect and report on data that is otherwise difficult to track.
Completely Changed our Office!
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to use Airtable to organize all of our office projects. We use it for project management and case file managment. We also use it for client communications. It has enabled us to scale and be so much more efficient because of the automation of all of our processes. We also use zapier to integrate Airtable with our other technology.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wish Airtable had a two-way texting feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable enables us to manage our large client base and stay organized across multiple projects.
Overall, Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has been a great solution for managing information in a no-code environment while allowing it to be accessible to other users. Implementing and integrating different bases to function as a relational database, setting up email automation, and providing basic dashboards and interfaces for internal and public consumption have been straightforward and usable from day one on a daily basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only critique of Airtable is the API functionality with things like PowerBI. Even following the directions it's not always a perfect sync but this may be on the PowerBI side and not Airtable. One thing that could make it better would also have the ability to create editable forms that someone could login to, change information, and it automatically updates the tables. But overall, it's been a great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automatic emails for people that submit a form
Relational database for apprentice and aspiring apprentices

Exactly what we were looking for!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable's customizeable features help us create exactly what we needed. We had been searching for the just the right tour management platform for our safari company and couldn't find anything that could do all the things we needed it to do. So we created it ourself in Airtable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a learning curve, especially for setting up more advanced functions, but the AI feature was great in helping us figure things out when we got stuck.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has helped us track and manage every step of our safari bookings, from the initial inquiry to sending a follow-up thank you message and request for a review once the clients have returned home. With automated reminders, it's taken a huge mental load off of each of us, worrying that we might miss a crucial action item.
