Airtable is great for Academic Operations
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has become an integral part of my job. My team uses it to improve operational workflows and administrative processes at our school. I like that we have control over how it functions and some control over how our tools look. We are able to design it to work optimally for our colleagues (and for us). With the implementation of Airtable interfaces, our tools took on a whole new life. I also appreciate the constant improvements to Airtable (believe me, we notice!).
What do you dislike about the product?
As a creative person working at a creative institution, design and appearance matter. While there are a few customizations for appearance (color, interface design, elements, etc.), I often wish I had more. Airtable falls short, just slightly, in terms of appearance customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Airtable, my team has greatly improved operational workflows, making them more efficient overall and reducing staff workload. Automations have reduced back and forth emails, and interfaces have allowed us to design tracking systems for administrative processes. The work our team does is recognized and appreciated across the institution.
The Joys of Building in Airtable
What do you like best about the product?
Coming from a background working with relational databases in Oracle and SqlServer, I really enjoy working with the ease of creating a fully functioning relational database without having to write code. The UI and UX of Airtable make it easy to create, update, improve, and edit all of my data needs. The robust data layer is improved even more through interfaces, where I can create custom interactions with certain pieces of data. I have used Airtable to implement a GTD framework for project management and it has been a joy to create and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most difficulty I've had working with Airtable concerns its implementation of the time and date field and especially the timezones, which doesn't work intuitively. Having to write custom code to manipulate timezones seems unnecessary and is more difficult than it needs to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable solves our knowledge management system (in conjunction with Google Drive), program data, and a project/task management system needs. It benefits us by keeping track of what our priorities are as we move forward in building communities.
Versatile & Thorough!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can create just about any kind of process that I want to with Airtable. It's a flexible, versatile, and robust system! It also has very robust features and is extremely customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable can be a little complicated to learn, but once you know what you're doing you can create just about anything you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use Airtable to streamline our hiring process. They complete the application (Airtable form), then the automations help sort them into whatever category they fall into, adds them to the team list if we do choose to hire, sends emails notifying them of the progress along the way, and allows us to schedule meetings with the candidates. It has made the entire process streamlined and seamless, removing all the manual labor previously involved. It's HUGE time-saver!
The app that brings the most value to my work and life.
What do you like best about the product?
As someone with ADHD who is math-averse, Airtable is like a user-friendly Excel/Sheets. It has so many capabilities, options, and automations, yet somehow isn't overwhelming. I use it to organize and seamlessly mange my household, personal life, finances, work, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that there was a more affordable tier or sales on annual pricings
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps me stay on top of projects, keep my books balanced, and allows me to keep living, shared databases
Great Project Management Tool and More
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it has practical uses while also having a friendly UI/UX. It is important to me that I have customization options when operating in systems so Airtable does a great job of this. In addition to that, one of my favorite features is the Automations + Integrations. Nowadays, I use so many different applications in my line of work and it's super helpful to be able to integrate them together in one space. One of my favorite things has been the ability to have Slack messages sent to me when someone fills out a form I created. I do use this on a daily basis so it's been easy to implement this into my routine.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new forms feature has been disrupting one of my automations and I really can't tell why? I have been meaning to get with customer support to see how they help me figure this out. Otherwise, I have no complaints!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly, it's been helping me learn how to manage my projects efficiently and organize my assignments into one space. It has made me feel more productive and in control of my day to day.

Allows us to manage multiples types of projects and workflows.
Airtable | 7 years strong, and going....
What do you like best about the product?
There are many areas of AT that are worth praise. I love that it is versatile and adaptable. It has been a wonderful adventure creating customizations, automations, and creating several databases that organize information and assets.
I also appreciate that there is both an internal and external use for this system: our clients contact us easily and are looped into our workflow with reminders, updates, and forms.
The company is also very good at quarterly trainings, where users are able to learn about new release updates, improved features, and areas of the software that has changed or been eliminated.

What do you dislike about the product?
AT is a great system-- hands down. I have taken it with me across two job transitions as well as implementing it into my own personal life as well. That said, I am biased-- meaning that I have spent a lot of time learning it and its framework. While AT is very user friendly, there can he a higher learning curve for people wanting to master more of its advanced settings , features, and capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining contracting process with external stakeholders
Alerting of changes to the hiring, contracting, invoicing pipelines
Cross department organization and understanding
Among many other things.....

User-friendly and versatile
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Airtable for over a year and have 5 different databases for different teams. Each database can be built and modified to fit the needs of each team by customizing the table structure and fields included. Airtable is a very intuitive site that can be used by anyone regardless of their tech skills. You can adjust permissions for each user allowing you to protect data from being deleted or modified accidentally. It's also very easy to share your Airtable view with stakeholders with shareable links.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I strongly dislike about Airtable. But I do wish the charts extension was more advanced so you can make more types of charts with more access to customization. I also wish those charts could seen in views on the main page, not just on the extensions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There wasn't really an optioned that described our use of Airtable, which serves more as a data base. We store contacts and partner organization data as well as records linked to our website.
AirTable solved many problems with a single software
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable allowed us to find a single solution. Rather than having to purchase separate CRM, property management, finance, grant management, and payroll software, then spend many hours to customize each one, we save thousands of dollars by just purchasing AirTable. We did invest a lot of hours up front to build exactly what we needed, but we would have had to spend a lot of those hours customizing other software anyway. When things were too complicated for us to figure out for ourselves, we could get help through AirTable's referral program and got our own specialist to get us through the really difficult parts. In the end, we are saving thousands, and can get exactly what we need. We've been able to leave confusing and less functional spreadsheets and tables behind!
What do you dislike about the product?
We've been using AT for almost 18 months, and all the functionality wasn't there originally. But more is added all the time, which we are grateful for, so I'm not sure that's even a drawback!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We struggled to be able to find data in our numerous spreadsheets for our year-end reports. Now it's all in one place and displayed in beautiful graphs for the board of directors. We have become much more efficient. Saving time and money.
I rely on Airtable to keep my nonprofit clients happy!
What do you like best about the product?
I use Airtable to keep both myself and my non-profit clients organized, especially when managing media and print marketing for multiple organizations. Airtable's custom interfaces make it simple for clients to share content and easily view and approve upcoming posts. It’s an essential tool that I rely on daily to streamline collaboration and ensure smooth communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish it were easier to share entire interfaces with clients for free. Additionally, I’d love to see improvements in the mobile app’s functionality, along with the ability to create interfaces as standalone mobile apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has helped me to create easy-to-use interfaces for communicating marketing projects and details with my clients.
