The reporting capabilities are not state-of-the-art, which makes analysis harder for me. I know the learning curve can be difficult if you want to personalize and make the most of the platform - maybe I'm still too new to this!

What do you dislike about the product?
Tough to go beyond the Excel mentality.
For example, i cannot (or did not find the way to) create a date automatically based on line creation
It is also a bit tricky to get an overall view of bugs

Favourite software

Empowered to build custom workflows that an off the shelf project management tool couldn't do. This allows my team to be a lot more productive and we are now the leading team of our kind in the country.
What do you dislike about the product?
Onboarding and adoption of colleagues can take a while.
There is one feature that we use a lot that unfortunately is quite slow. I hope the loading time for utilisation timeline views gets improved.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allows me to retrieve data on anything we need and produce reports that help prove our increased efficiency and productivity. Our business performance has improved and we have been rewarded with more budget than other teams thanks to Airtable.
Game changer for our business
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer amount of data that you can compile, track, and analyze in Airtable is astounding. It has transformed just about every area of our business, from project management to production analysis to employee record-keeping and onboarding and so much more. With integrations from Zapier and Make, your source data is essentially unlimited. We would be piloting a ship sans a rudder without Airtable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the extensions are difficult to use and require some advanced knowledge. To my knowledge, it is not possible to overlay multiple sets of data on the built-in chart extension, and requires Vega-Lite to do that. I have neither the time nor desire to learn that, which is a bummer for something that is easily achievable on other platforms such as Google Sheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allows us to access vast amounts of company data, from a birds-eye view to granular, which helps inform our decision-making process in all departments across our company.
Great product for multiple uses!
What do you like best about the product?
This is a versatile piece of software. I've used it for years: first, to track sales of household items when moving, then later for much more complex projects. A well-designed layout helps keep information clear and neat, whilst the functions for data are extremely powerful. I hardly scratch the surface of Airtable's capability, even with several complex bases on the go.
Pros
- Very powerful
- Easy to use – with lots of information online to learn
- Ability to capture information through forms which feed directly into a table
- Multi-use
- Pleasing design

What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable is not a spreadsheet, so it takes some time to get your head around it. Once you’ve done this, it’s a helpful tool. A few frustrating niggles (such as not being able to have titles on two lines – this makes long titles with small data fields ridiculous on a spreadsheet) continue to persist.
The next level up for Airtable is expensive (from the free version), but the free version does plenty.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Here are two scenarios we have used as a small charity.
1. Finances: expenses, claims, bank records
Airtable has made life much easier for us with our summer project finances. It allows volunteers to claim expenses through a form which collects all relevant information about the expenses, bank details for repayment and allows an image to be uploaded. This feeds into a Base (document) which also tracks bank records and reimbursements. As a non-coder, this allowed us to build a financial system that fit our needs. A few clicks gave our treasurer access, and audit trails were visible – as well as easy analysis of expenditure and income.
2. Application tracking
Every year we have dozens of applications for a summer project. These applicants need to be referenced, sorted, screened, and then accepted onto relevant teams and linked with host families who can cater to each applicant's needs during their time with us. A complex system which has been made simple with Airtable. Airtable links directly to our website through the API, and neatly pulls through a PDF application and any data we need for each applicant to enable us to sort. A separate table is built for hosts, and linking these tables is a doddle with Airtable. We no longer need to retrieve information from multiple courses, re-save updated information to Dropbox (for outside volunteers) and Onedrive (for staff), and keep archival records for the future. Now Airtable does all this, and each year one central Airtable document contains all we need – and all data is easily processed or deleted according to GDPR standards.
