It's database visualization is a little be desired at this point in its development.

Airtable review by and Airtable consultant
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable allows you to build custom systems that bring together datasets that would often reside in their own (siloed) systems. The flexibility is near endless when you consider all the additional tools you can integrate with.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few limitations are especially annoying:
1. Inability to include extensions in interfaces
2. Inability to embed or put static images in any interface page (e.g. put a company logo on a dashboard)
3. Limited to 50 automations per base.
4. Inability to do condition groups in automation trigger logic.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows rapid development of tools that can be developed with out (much) code and then handed off to non-technical users to own with minimal ongoing involvement.
Almost infinitely adaptable and user-friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Airtable can be adapted to a wide variety of uses and set up is pretty easy once you're comfortable with the interface and some of the terminology. I'm using it on a daily basis for task management, grant deliverables and invoice tracking, and as a contacts database. I've even found uses for it in my personal life. The automations are helpful and user-friendly and I've set up a couple integrations with Google.
What do you dislike about the product?
The billing schema was difficult to understand at first and it was a major stumbling block not to be able to pay by Purchase Order but we made Airtable's credit-card only policy work. The inability to share an Interface publicly without people having to log-in was very frustrating though this is changing for at least some types of Interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is enabling coordination of a remote team. It allows us to attach conversations (through comments) to specific tasks without having to sift through emails. Crucially, it's helping track ingoing and outgoing invoices visible by all team members where before, we had no formal system. Likewise, it's helping us stay up do date with dozens of contracts across dozens of contractors. It's definitely helped expand workload capacity.
Amazing product with lots uses and more potential yet
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is incredibly flexible and powerful. It presents itself as something that can quickly provide a solution for some basic business functions (project managment, content calendar, etc.), but it is capable of so much more. We use it every day for so many use cases. Whenever we encounter an issue or a bug, the support team is quick to respond.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest roadblock in using Airtable is getting users to understand it's power, flexibility and range of capabilities. A lot of people expect it to be as flexible as using Excel or Sheets, it's just not, but once you're able to get over the hump of understanding, people get excited about using Airtable for everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allowed us to replace the ever-expensive and inflexible Salesforce as well as other applications, then connect them and remove a lot of duplicate work.
It's Just So Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is just so versatile! I've been able to adapt to a wide range of projects, making — essentially — an app for my clients and even my own LLC; from Finances to animation production tracking.
The whole interface is very intuitive. Things seem to be in the right spot where you'd expect them. Even the keyboard shortcuts feel like they're following a user-experience you've come to use in other applications.
Also, the Base specific developer documentation is very helpful for those like me who tinker in code. It gives you examples of the code and how the different parts work within the code.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to have the ability to restrict the viewing of specific tables and or their columns better. Currently, you haver to build an interface as what seems like a work-around. This is not ideal when your team works better in the tables, and also when you don't have time to build an interface, making sure to also keep everything up to date.
I also wish there was something like a document field. Something I could keep with a record that could also be worked on while in Airtable. Currently you have to use a link to google docs or have a really messy Long Text field.
Additionally, there doesn't seem to be a very good training module/set of videos for people new to Airtable. Sometimes I spin up projects and people new to the product have a hard time getting started with the overwhelming look of Airtable. It really is fairly simple to use, but it can be scary.
Lastly, interfaces still feel so limited and to make it worse it feels like Airtable has locked its most useful features behind an enterprise plan. Many times it feels like they've said with their features and pricing "We really don't care for small businesses. We're enterprise focused."

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to work with people across the globe for the animation projects I operate. I'm able to focus data to where it's needed, helping those that I hire focus on the tasks they need to complete.
Your go to for CRM, Process Management, and Relational Tools

It is easy to figure out and there is a great community surrounding it. You can do anything you want with it, and it is easy to educate others on your team how you are using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to get the higher tiers for some features, but that isn't uncommon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Excellent CRM For Growing Company Trying to Automate

Airtable is a great data collection tool and has some analysis capabilities, but it isn't as easy to do analysis as it is in Excel and Google Sheets.

What do you like best about the product?

I'd love to see a dark mode, as well as some new design packages to keep up with competitors.
