Great Project Management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the depth of features, from information management via database to project management via scheduling and task assignment options.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is NOT the most user-friendly or intuitive. Some of my team struggled to understand how to access records and data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have two primary uses: Maintaining a spreadsheet of contacts to share on our website, and maintaining a database of training programs and resources for staff development.
Airtable for Project Management and Customer Relations
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable offers a lot of customizations, which allowed me to create very specific setups that worked for our team. Airtable offers a lot of very useful templates to get you started, and there are a lot of native features that are free to use that are great.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is definitely a learning curve with Airtable; we've had to set aside a good chunk of time in our team for training of staff who are using it for the first time. While the templates are very helpful, customizing takes a while to set up to get it exactly how you want it. One big downside we've had is that there is no native integration of Airtable forms with any payment services, so we've had to use an external software (Jotform) to create that integration. However, that integration has been easy to set up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an affordable, accessible way to create a workplan for our team, and also track student and customers. Airtable has been great at filling those roles for us.
Best organization and project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
How thorough and customizable it is. You can have projects with as many layers as you want, format text however you want, and create custom apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there could be more linking between bases as I want to keep some things separate so that one base isn't too busy, but can still be related to another.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Digital Marketing Management. There are so many platforms, posts, and tasks to keep track of. AT helps us organize everything and see how everything is linked, assign tasks to their respective people, and keep track of progress. It has helped me manage way more effectively.
If Excel Had a Cuter Younger Sister
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable allows me to juggle several tasks at once, without losing data, getting clunky, or boring me to tears. As an artist who entered the tech field, I think data should be visual, dynamic, and engaging. The data should speak for itself - you shouldn't have to read cell by cell to understand what the data is telling you. Airtable allows me to visualize the data more easily, which enables me to do more in my career.
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable can can do so many things, it's almost diffucult to wrap your head around it. It would be fantastic if tutorials and webinars were offered with more frequency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to track projects and tasks at a glance - the visual aspect allows for more efficiency.
The no-code automation in Airtable is a game changer
What do you like best about the product?
As a team of Project Managers and researchers, most of the team has 0 experience with coding languages. The no-code automation infrastructure within Airtable makes it possible for my team to automate our processes and update those automations ourselves. This is a game-changer for my team and saves us hours of work each week. The introduction of interfaces and forms has also added value and transparency for our work.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are used to Excel, the column-based formula limitation can be challenging to wrap your head around. Some use cases require a convoluted process to make data display properly, but the ability to display the same data through multiple views and dashboards is extremely valuable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is the primary platform the Customer Feedback team uses to manage operations. From managing our intake and routing process, project tracker, feedback database and submission form, roadmap tracking, bug tracker, automation platform to managing our review process, Airtable is involved every step of the journey. This has not only helped us standardize and increase the efficiency of our processes, but also report and measure the impact of our work.
Great interface and function, but a bit of a learning curve for unexperienced users.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to customize data and bases to whatever use case you have.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficulty in getting less experienced users to adopt because of perceived learning curve due to the overwhelming amount of possibilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is serving as hub for our business....acting as a customized and integrated crm and project management tool. I also find myself utilizing for all kinds of random use cases internally and for other clients.
A bit of a learning curve, but incredibly useful
What do you like best about the product?
We use Airtable to track editorial workflow and for project management, with a combination of paid seats and free viewers. So much more powerful and useful than a spreadsheet. We use it daily to keep track of who's doing what and the status of various projects. There's a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it it's an incredible resource.
What do you dislike about the product?
The paid user fees rack up fast, although the $10 credits for new members is nice. I know there are ways to link bases and integrate outside apps that would make our data even more useful, but I don't have the expertise or the time to acquire it. I wish there were Integrations for Dummies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running and building a digital news business requires ways to manage editorial workflow, monitor business development projects and track advertising and sponsorship. Airtable lets us perform all of these tasks in one place rather than using separate software for each.
Airtable is the best - switched from Podio
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is lightning fast, I can update on my phone and I can see realtime updates on my computer screen. Super handy when working with a team.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downsides at all, the learning curve for some of the automations can be tricky at times but not a big deal at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps our real estate transactions super organized and it's easy to find exactly what we are looking for at any time.
Dynamic - Easy to Use - Business Critical Features Available
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of ways to display data - including Kanban, Timelines, datatable and Gallery. Definitely satisfied with the types of fields I can use to display data. Love the forms and the interfaces as well. I have been able to manage an entire software product build from AirTable only becuase of the platforms flexibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
At my company we use very basic features and more support on formulas and interfaces would make the product more useful in general. Having a ask function (chatGPT) would greatly improve usability and business need. I think most items can just be done in other free services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing tasks with developers and creating a dynamic system to get them done. The comment section is great and significantly supports our development process. Additionally, how to manage a large project from a single platform.
Great for Academic Library Use
What do you like best about the product?
Do you like Excel/Google Sheets but have so much data that they have gotten unweildy? Airtable takes the logic of a database and makes it SUPER SIMPLE. Your data across multiple tabs can work together so that you can easily track projects and workflows. This is like Excel.. ecxept better and easier to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had more templates to choose from and more ways to peek at other company's bases so I can get ideas for how to better utilize the functionality. Sometimes I do things and I know there must be an easier way but I can't figure it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking our patron requests, tracking our work-for-hire projects and coupling them with invoices and receipts to track payment in real-time, tracking digitization projects from start to finish, tracking work in the lab kanban-style to make sure we can give accurate start/finish dates for statements of work.
