My Airtable Experience: Likes, Challenges, and Benefits
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable is how it combines the familiarity of spreadsheets with the power of a full database. It lets me organize complex information in a way that’s still very intuitive. I also really appreciate the flexibility, and being able to customize fields, create different views, and set up automations makes it easy to adapt the system to whatever workflow I’m managing. The collaboration features are also a big plus because everyone can see updates in real time without creating confusion. Overall, it saves time, keeps everything organized, and makes my processes run a lot smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about Airtable is that as your base grows, it can sometimes slow down or get a bit cluttered. Managing large amounts of data or multiple linked tables can require extra organization. Also, some features, like advanced automation limits and interface options, are restricted unless you’re on a premium plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable solves the problem of having information scattered across different spreadsheets, emails, and systems. It gives me one centralized place to organize everything in a structured and visually clear way. Instead of juggling multiple tools or manually updating spreadsheets, I can track projects, tasks, and data in real time and share it with the team instantly. The ability to link records, automate steps, and create different views saves a lot of time and reduces errors. Overall, it helps streamline my workflow, improves organization, and makes managing information much more efficient.
Integrated automations and flexible databases have transformed how my team manages crm, events, and real estate projects
What is our primary use case?
My usual use case for Airtable is for CRM management, such as lead management, and also real estate project management. I also use it for project management related to events, project management, inventory, and I've used it as a major database for an app. I've worked with clients that use Airtable as their own backend database, integrating it with other apps and tools.
What is most valuable?
The features of Airtable that I have found the most valuable so far are the interface and the spreadsheet feature. The interface is really valuable and I make use of it so much, specifically the table, as I use it all the time. I get to integrate the interface with other software and web applications, utilizing the database and the table extensively.
Airtable has helped my team's workflow overall by streamlining manual repetitive tasks through automation, coupled with the database feature and the interface. When I integrate it, it really enhances the workflow, allowing me to analyze the data we integrate, such as when connected with Shopify for inventory management. I use the interface for key performance indicators or analysis of my inventory. Additionally, I can connect it to scraping tools to analyze data from platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, and more often than not, I can accomplish tasks within Airtable without needing to connect to external tools.

What needs improvement?
One area of Airtable that I think could be improved is the automation aspect, which is vast but limited compared to tools such as GoHighLevel, where multiple triggers can be utilized. In Airtable, I can't use more than one trigger at a time, which is a limitation. Furthermore, the CRM features in Airtable aren't as advanced as those in Monday.com, which allows for email campaigns. If Airtable could enhance its CRM features, it would be beneficial. I appreciate the scripting capability as it provides alternatives for automations not available normally.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used Airtable.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Overall, I've never experienced any glitch with Airtable. There was one instance of a glitch due to AWS having issues with some regions where the app was hosted, but aside from that, Airtable is very stable and reliable. However, I noticed a limitation with the number of records; the business plan allows for about 50,000 records, and we had to look for another database tool when we needed something with more capacity.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Having an unlimited number of records would greatly enhance the scalability for any project using Airtable.
How are customer service and support?
I have not communicated with the technical support of Airtable as I have not encountered any issues that required it.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Airtable, I always used Google Sheets along with Google Apps Script for automation. I scripted with it, but with Airtable, I find I don't need scripts for basic automations. Google Sheets was my primary tool before I transitioned to Airtable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I evaluated other options from other vendors, particularly Smartsheet, but I was introduced to Airtable first and preferred using it. While I haven't explored Smartsheet fully, I fell in love with Airtable as soon as I got used to it. I think it would be helpful if Airtable could create features for building portals such as Softr does, eliminating the need for integration when my clients require unique login pages.
What other advice do I have?
I have used Airtable's integration with third-party apps, most of the time using it as a back-end database. I get to integrate it with other apps such as ChatGPT and Squarespace, embedding Airtable forms and the interface on websites. Integration is seamless.
Airtable's customizable views are beneficial for managing my projects, as it offers broad features that even allow someone who understands it thoroughly to operate without needing external tools. You can track projects, monitor tasks, oversee performance, send reminders, and alert team members, ensuring they can access their own tasks without interfering with others. It encompasses everything a project manager needs.
Regarding Airtable's collaboration tools, it collaborates well with tools such as Mailchimp, Google Drive, and Slack, simplifying tasks due to its integrated capabilities. I appreciate that I don't need third-party integration tools to connect Airtable with other collaborative tools, and it's one of the reasons I recommend Airtable for my clients as it remains cost-effective, offering numerous features at a low cost. However, I recognize that some features are not available on the collaborative tools within Airtable, such as when integrating with Google Drive or Mailchimp, thus requiring external tools for certain capabilities.
Airtable's rich field types help me organize complex data for my team by breaking down complex data through its relational database feature. Unlike Google Sheets, I can link different tables, making it easier for my team to access necessary information without moving back and forth. They can obtain data they need in the table where they are working, facilitating project management.
The pricing of Airtable is fair, which is why I recommend it for many clients. Even the free version allows for numerous functionalities, and the team plan comes with substantial features. Overall, I think the pricing is acceptable and valuable.
I've utilized Airtable's Learning Academy, which offers a comprehensive site where you can get certified as an administrator. It provides a lot of documentation on all of Airtable's features.
The Learning Academy is very explanatory, and even a novice can understand how to navigate it effectively. The modules are concise, making them easy to comprehend and manage.
I would rate this product a ten out of ten.

Airtable helps with peace for mind and sustains my workflow!

I like that it helps me stay organized by creating a centralized system for tracking my credentials and username logs. The platform keeps everything structured and easily accessible, which streamlines my workflow and ensures I never lose track of important login information.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any real dislikes about Airtable. There was a small learning curve when I first started using it, but once I got familiar with the features, it's been a great tool for staying organized
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable addresses the chaos of managing multiple credentials and logs across different platforms. It centralizes everything into one organized system, which benefits me by improving my efficiency, eliminating the frustration of forgotten passwords or misplaced information, and allowing me to focus on my work rather than hunting for login details.

Has required stronger collaboration features while still supporting complex project workflows
What is our primary use case?
I basically use Airtable for client projects and my own personal projects. As a freelancer, whenever a client wants to work on projects involving project management, inventory management, and CRM for businesses, I use Airtable to create their dashboards and automation that helps their workflow easier and runs things behind the scene.
I used it for stock management for an e-commerce brand that deals with clothing stores to help them track their incoming sales and stock levels. I also used Airtable with Softr; I used Airtable to design a tech school for users and students who wanted to register within the tech academy, and I used Softr for the front end to design the application for the school. Airtable was the back end while Softr was the front end for that project.
On my personal level, I use Airtable extensively to keep track of my tasks. Whenever I have a project for a client, I log that project on my own Airtable, track the progress, and track milestones as I deliver them to the client. For my activities at home, if I don't want to forget any event, I keep it on Airtable and create automation that reminds me about the event.
What is most valuable?
The best features in Airtable include the flexibility and the fact that I could create relational databases. Before I started using Airtable, I was using Excel which didn't offer these capabilities. The ability to create relationships between tables and see through what's working in other departments is great for me. I can do scripting and work on large data sets on Airtable. It makes it easy for me, as working on those data sets on Excel tends to slow me down, but on Airtable, it's much faster.
I can integrate Airtable with other platforms; aside from the native integration where I can send notifications to Slack teams and messages to Gmail, I can also connect with Make.com to share data. The interface on Airtable is exceptional. Working for my clients, when a client didn't want access given to all teams, we structured that on the interface and the different teams got different access to different tables.
Airtable's rich field types help in organizing complex data for my team. The advanced field types work exceptionally with features such as linking records together. I can link records from other tables and see what's happening, use the lookup field, the roll-up field, and the count field to see what's occurring in other departments and generate insights. Unlike other CRMs, data cannot enter if it's not properly structured. If I want to input an email and it's not valid, it won't allow it because it expects the data to be structured appropriately.
What needs improvement?
What I would to see improved in Airtable is a chat feature. I really want to see a scenario where collaborators working on a project could easily chat, asking questions and discussing changes immediately on the project. I would love to see something a chat app on Airtable where we could communicate as we work on a project.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Airtable for more than 12 months now, having started using it around November 2024.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have worked with other project management solutions apart from Airtable, including HubSpot, Trello, and Monday.com.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Airtable is very straightforward and not complex at all. If you're familiar with Google Sheets and Excel, you can easily understand Airtable. Just by looking at it, you can see the fields and understand that certain places are for short text, names, phone numbers, and emails. You can connect buttons to access another portal or URL. Looking at everything, you can figure things out even before going to the academy or YouTube to study. Airtable has made everything easy; you can look at the platform on your own, spend time with it, and figure everything out.
What was our ROI?
I have seen the return on investment with Airtable. When I deliver work, the ROI is for their business. On my end as a freelancer, I use it to track projects that I work with for clients and my own personal dealings. I use it to monitor my performance as a freelancer, checking if I'm doing work and delivering on time. For clients' projects, I don't really investigate their ROI unless such discussion is requested.
What other advice do I have?
The integration aspect has helped my team's workflows by making operations run smoothly. For the inventory store project, whenever stock alert was low, the team receives automatic notification when the threshold was low without someone needing to review the base. The head of the team receives notification and places orders for that product.
With integration through Make.com and Zapier, data coming in from external sources can be stored in Airtable for future records. The seamless integration with Airtable doesn't require stress or searching for APIs. Airtable's API easily connects with Make.com and Zapier, and the flow goes seamlessly.
The benefit of using customizable views for managing projects is that clients can see things differently. The Kanban view allows progress tracking, the Gantt view works for project management, and the calendar view with color coding helps visualize project dates. Each view is perfectly customized to meet specific purposes.
I have utilized collaboration tools in Airtable and worked with different teams successfully. Though you can't immediately see when someone is working, the structure allows each collaborator to work on their project while maintaining sync with others' work. Setting up new workflows using Airtable typically takes between two to three hours for small projects, and one to three days for complex projects requiring multiple reviews.
Airtable's pricing is perfect with different plans for different needs. Small businesses can choose suitable plans, and there's still a free feature available. The pricing is fair and accessible for every business plan.
Airtable does it all with Excel database functionality, spreadsheet capabilities, automation, and visually appealing interfaces. Data insights change in real-time, making it flexible and user-friendly. When I started using Airtable, I progressed from beginner to almost pro within 24 hours because it was easy to understand.
Airtable is a great platform for any organization, offering seamless operation and perfect interface to showcase products to clients and staff. Different access levels can be set for customers, staff, and management. For organizations working with large datasets, the enterprise plan provides ample space.
My rating for Airtable is 10 out of 10.
