Company Administrator Bridges Team Data
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is a user friendly data management software that automatically updates all sources when same data is utilized in so many different ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
My company compains about billing setup and management of team users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable makes it easy for my team to collaborate with the rest of the organization that revolves around the same data.
Airtable is my new favorite tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love all the options of viewing the same data in so many different ways for different users. I found Airtable easy to get started and easy to roll out to our team. I enjoyed working with the Airtable team, when needed during implementation. I use Airtable every single day, and find myself figuring out ways to integrate Airtable into almost all of my team's workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to share out certain views or interfaces with the right people - there are some roadblocks to permissions within our company. I also think it can be difficult to explain the complexity of all that Airtable can do - I started off thinking of my Airtable bases and tables as spreadsheets, and now I'm trying to change my way of thinking to use it more as a database. This also can get a bit tricky to explain to other team members or users that it is much more than just a spreadsheet and a lot of thought needs to go into the intial base setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Giving visibility all of our team's hard work to all the right people in an easily digested way.
Great for a number of tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is very helpful with certain tasks I need to regularly perform. The ability to link to a variety of other platforms allows me to automate a number of tasks. Another feature I use quite often is the ability to link records in multiple tables and use that link to transfer information from one table to another and between separate data sets.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I wish was easier in Airtable would be the ability to share data with people who are not Airtable users with nicer interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily automating tasks and data transfer and populating tables with missing data that can be found in other data sets.
Airtable is where I start each day
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is the ability to filter my views according to my needs and also change my views to Kanban, Calendar, Grid, etc. It really does so much.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside is that you have to pay per user if you want them to be able to comment, write, etc. It can add up quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is how I manage and organize every project that I have going on simultaneously. It's how I delegate tasks and let my different departments know where we are at in the process.
Goodbye word docs and excel!
What do you like best about the product?
How you can house a lot of data in an easy-to-view, sortable, categorizable way. You normally have to use spreadsheets for this purpose, but no longer.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations with some of the existing funcationalities such as forms and interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to work, share data, and collect information cross-functionally across a large org
This platform transformed our product development process for the better.
What do you like best about the product?
It's hard to pick just one thing, but the ability to customize our bases, interfaces, and forms to meet our needs as a company (and even moreso, by department) has been a gamechanger for us. Our teams can come to us to build almost anything, and we usually can deliver an even better experience than they originally imagined.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the last year we've transitioned from primarily working in the Bases, to introducing Interfaces to most of our users. We love the additional customization and lack of clutter that comes with Interface, however there are still a few minor but crucial features from the Base grid views that are widely missed by our users and does cause some painpoints when reviewing our data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of communication has been a constant problem within our organization, but the combination of clear documentation and automated reminders and updates has minimized the amount of delayed projects and tasks across the board. In addition, the ability to automate emails and status updates and reduced the need for a significant amount of manual work for our users.
Incredibly powerful low code database that can change your organization
What do you like best about the product?
Once you get over the initial hump, Airtable is probably one of the easiest databases I've ever worked with, and I've worked with databases since dBase in the 80s. Their really good tutorials and a large community on YouTube are invaluable. This made implementing our internal CMS relatively easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a hump you have to get over, especially if you are coming from something like Trello or Monday. The switch from procedure to data first management was a bit of a hurdle but easy enough to overcome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to bootsrap an internal CMS with little guidance. Once we started digging into it, we realized just how powerful and easy to use the entire system is. Once you get automation down, it makes everything from mail replies to reporting.
A Wonderful Blend of spreadsheets and tracking
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Airtable is it's versatility. With the number of options for column types and automations to manipulate them you can create anything. We use Airtable every single day at my office and it has become the most integral part of our workflows. We have begun to move all major workflows into Airtable. With how easy it is to build a specifc interface for the users of an app they can see only what you want them to see. Getting it to the right people to implement new workflows is so easy to implement with the offerings here. Its ability to communicate with slack, jira, google sheets makes it extremly easy to integrate into existing systems. Customer Support has always been easy to get a hold of when we needed them. The Airtable Acadmy training has been wonderful for teaching team members new elements.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of using Airtable for myself is how many more connections and tools are offered to me even though my admin doesn't pay for them like the AI tools. I want them and they taunt me!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves our need to track assets and tasks for our processes in a way that is scalable and works with the ever evolving needs of our team. We continue to apply it to new projects and it has saved a ton of time and effort that used to be manually clicking and updating items.
Swiss Army Knife for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I am able to organize details in a way that separates internal facing vs public facing information. My entire team can manipulate the data in a view that works for them. The dashboard features shortens the time I spend creating reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to keep up with the new features. It would be nice if there were Airtable sponsored linkedin learning classes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, reporting, and working collaboratively in a team. The team can stay in sync and add information at their own pace. We don't have much time to meet so we can just assign tasks and allow people to get to them when they are available.
It works, but is lacking in some key areas
What do you like best about the product?
The table interfaces are pretty intuitive and have a good aesthetic. They are quite configurable as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is lacking unless you are on one of their highest tiered plans which can be quite frustrating. Simple things like repeating a task at a specific interval (weekly, biweekly etc) requires advanced setup. Other basic features also require advanced knowledge of the platform. Worst of all, all of the bases are independent - there is no way to link bases together. You can link specific fields, but again, this requires advanced knowledge and setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating information in a single area is helpful.
