Powerful AI-Enhanced Tool with Great Features, but Steep Learning Curve and Price
What do you like best about the product?
This is a very powerful tool enhanced by AI. It offers team-friendly spreadsheets that are connected to a robust database, all without the need for any coding. I appreciate the smart columns, such as checkboxes and attachments, which make organizing information much easier. My favorite features are definitely the calendar and the Kanban board, as they help me stay organized and manage tasks efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not as intuitive or opinionated as Trello or Asana, so you need to create your own workflow from scratch. The cost can increase quickly, especially as your needs grow. Performance also tends to slow down with larger projects, and the analysis features are quite limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facilitating connections between employees and current projects and workflows.
Airtable is great!
What do you like best about the product?
I love using forms to autopopulate information and keep track of records
What do you dislike about the product?
The automations can be hard to figure out. I wish when someone fills out a form, they can receive a copy of their response without having an Airtable account. This function used to be available without creating an automation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us keep track of sign-ups, event sales and student records in one place
Flexible database solution that revolutionized our project management approach
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitive interface combines the familiarity of spreadsheets with the power of relational databases seamlessly. Custom views and filtering options allow each team member to see exactly the data they need for their role. The automation features have eliminated countless manual tasks and reduced human error in our processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing can become expensive quickly as you add more users and need advanced features like automations. Some complex reporting capabilities require workarounds or third-party integrations to achieve desired results. The learning curve for advanced features like complex formulas and scripting can be challenging for less technical users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable solved our major challenge of managing customer success data across disconnected spreadsheets and systems that led to duplicate work and missed opportunities. Previously, our team struggled with version control issues and couldn't easily track relationships between accounts, contacts, and projects. The lack of real-time collaboration meant important updates were often missed or delayed.
Flexible Alternative to Costly Systems
What do you like best about the product?
I can build dynamic, automated workflows in Airtable that go far beyond what Excel or Google Sheets allow. It’s not just a spreadsheet; it’s a flexible system that combines databases, project management, and automation all in one place. We use the system in our daily tasks to manage leave of absence request. Customer Support is super easy to reach with questions if you have the Enterprise plan and implementation is super easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Airtable allows third-party app creators to gatekeep certain features, instead of making those tools accessible to all users within the platform. All integrations aren't built the same, for example it's nearly impossible to integrate with Workday without a professional session with Airtable pros.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is helping us manage our workers compensation and leave of absence claims.
Great tool, has changed the way we manage data and projects A*************
What do you like best about the product?
Great to for data management, reporting and dashboards, we can manage and structure our data in an easy way for all stakeholders to be able to view. Its also a great tool to use with suppliers as we can work seamlessly in the same place on various projects. Overall its fairly easy to use, implement and navigate and it integrates with pretty much everything so it can form the core of your data / reporting requirements that you use regularly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its not the easiest platform to set-up and getting running like with all data platforms, but overall once you are up and running it is very easy to use. Sometimes its hard to get data tables integrated and talking to each other but it usually works out fine in the end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall using dozens of reporting tools means that we need a place to manage and structure the reporting data. Airtable does this and overall it helps manage campaigns and ultimately gives us ROI to the bottom line, it also provides productivity improvements for us.
Versatile accessible tool
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very intuitive and easy to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Recent updates have made linked fields and tables a lot more confusing than it used to be.
There's no way to send a file in response to submitting a form. This makes it harder to use Airtable for RSVPs, as it would be ideal to be able to autosend a calendar invite (for example) in response to someone registering for an event through a form.
Customer support is meh, the AI version on the website is bad.

Information storage and sharing, events, tracking
You Have My Vote!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using AirTable for over 4 years now. I use it in my current role and it helps keep me organized. I like the way that I can customize it to my needs. It's worth the paid version.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better way to toggle between dashboards and reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping information neat and organized
I have been using Airtable for a couple of years now. It is very user friendly.
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful tools within Airtable have been the extensions and the conditioning that I am able to do. Airtable is super user friendly and the implementation was a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, I have not found a downside of Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has made our project management process so much easier. We were using excel sheets for project plans when I first came into project management and Airtable has made our team much more efficient.
TRANSFORMING the way my team manages projects
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has truly transformed the way we manage projects and events. What I appreciate most is its comprehensive functionality that goes far beyond a simple spreadsheet. Unlike Excel, Airtable combines the power of a database with the ease of a user-friendly interface, making it an indispensable tool for both data management and collaboration.
One of the standout features is the ability to capture data through professional-looking forms. This not only elevates the experience for participants and stakeholders but also ensures that the information is collected in an organized, structured way.
What makes Airtable even more powerful is its robust integrations. From automatically replying to people when they submit a form, to creating calendar invites, sending follow-up emails, and handling countless other tasks, Airtable streamlines processes that would otherwise require multiple separate tools. These automations save valuable time and reduce human error, which is especially crucial when coordinating events or managing complex projects.
In my experience, Airtable has made event planning and project management significantly easier and more efficient. It consolidates tasks that used to be fragmented across different platforms into one centralized hub, giving us the flexibility and confidence to execute projects smoothly.
Simply put, Airtable is far more than a spreadsheet substitute—it’s an all-in-one productivity and organization platform that empowers teams to work smarter, not harder.

What do you dislike about the product?
One challenge I’ve experienced with Airtable is not with the platform itself, but with the learning curve and the sheer breadth of functionality it offers. While the advanced integrations—such as calendar invites and automated email replies—are incredibly powerful, at present only one member of our team has the expertise to build them out, which sometimes slows adoption for the rest of us. Additionally, Airtable’s depth means that our advanced user often adds robust features that can feel overwhelming for novice users to keep up with. In many ways, Airtable is almost too powerful. I would love to see more streamlined training tools, quick-start guides, or templates that help flatten the learning curve and make it easier for all team members, regardless of experience, to maximize the platform’s full potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is helping us manage and facilitate our largest projects and events all in one place. The greatest benefit has been the ability to create events and instantly send calendar invites and follow-up emails with just a click. This level of automation has streamlined our processes, saved us valuable time, and ensured that nothing falls through the cracks.
Airtable is a game changer for any size business
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is so flexible, we use it for so many different things in our business, and we train others to use it as well. We are a workforce development org, training small businesses, nonprofit professionals and veterans on all aspects of managing a business. We use Airtable to provide a toolkit with each course, so a gallery of resources that is included with every topic. And we teach thousands of people to use it every year across a variety of use cases in their own businesses. The fact that it is free or mostly free is a big deal as many of our participants are very small businesses or just getting started. But the system itself also really helps people work together - for example, our marketing team thinks and plans visually but our IT team thinks and plans in data - having multiple views of the same information makes it so everyone can use the same tools together and we don't lose information or time switching between platforms to communicate. Airtable completely changed the way we manage our customer relationships as well. We're able to provide Hybrid services where we do some of the work and the client can weigh in by using Airtable as a client hub.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it were easier to make tables talk to each other but I'm sure that is coming or that I just need to learn more. It used to be easier to find the Universe tab for seeing how others use the tools. That is also a great help. I once used an airtable created by my own cousin and didn't even realize she was an airtable user, she is out of state and we barely talk but her set up was perfect for what I needed. I just happened to see her name and texted her to ask if it was her on the airtable site. :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps clients visualize what we do for them, helps class participants see how simple some of their day to day operational processes can be if they would use a tool like airtable, helps us deliver Toolkits easily that make our particpants very happy, helps set us apart as a training partner for cities and counties -- example: one city held some classes that were not provided by us, so they did not include our signature toolkits (made and shared with airtable) and people were calling the city to complain that they didn't get a toolkit at those extra classes. The city is trying to figure out how to create them (we showed them how!)
