Accessible and useful
What do you like best about the product?
I just started using Airtable at a new job starting a few months ago and I've really enjoyed it so far. It's pretty intuitive and easy to set up fairly complex tables/bases for someone with little coding experience. I've been able to do more than I would with Excel, without needing to know complicated functions or design elements.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little intimidating to get started, so honestly the biggest downside is convincing coworkers to interact with an Airtable as regularly as they would with, say, an Excel workbook or Google Sheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to track policy priorities throughout complicated federal lawmaking processes. Airtable allowed me to unite information all in one place that previously was spread out across many different documents and formats, and to link it together in ways that streamlined our team's work.
Casting Office Wonder!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it's completely customizable to our needs. If I need to learn something new there are plenty of tutorials online.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things are non-changeable, like how dates and phone numbers are formatted, so it's hard to make it as easily accessible for our global clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides a platform for us to gather multiple user data and synthesize that data into beautifully digestible views that our clients love.
Airtable is a versatile and user-friendly platform that combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a database. It allows users to organize and manage data efficiently, offering features such as customizable views, collaboration tools, and integration with other applications. Users appreciate its flexibility and ease of use, making it suitable for a wide range of projects and industries. However, some may find the pricing model a bit steep for larger teams or more extensive use cases.
What do you like best about the product?
Accessibility, Smart User Interface, Powerful Capabilities (with Automations, Functions, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of the particular field types, there may be limitations in creating precise, specific automations and functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is helping to speed up manual processes and serves as a powerful organizational tool to track multiple simultaneous deadlines, expirations, and requirements. Airtable helps relieve the mental energy required to track and organize a myriad of activities and supports communication and visibility between teams.
Solid collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has a lot of functionality that extends past a basic spreadsheet. We use it every day as a team. It's a great collaborative tool and allows for automations to streamline processes and communication. I like the integrations with google calendar and other systems. I also really appreciate the fact that the Airtable team always offers free training services so you're able to practice and learn more about the tool live.
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable can be overly complicated at times and is still limited in terms of sharing abilities. For instance, sometimes I want to share part of a base with the team but I don't want to give access to the whole workspace. I wish you could pick and choose access levels and what was visible to whom without needing to copy to a new base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is a great tool for project management and task management. The calendar integrations make it particularly easy to plan and break out tasks so they are more manageable and can be accomplished on a deadline.
I also use Airtable for collaboration and communication with my team. It helps streamline action items and makes sure we're all on the same page regarding next steps and task.

Airtable is such a convenient way to collaborate with colleagues within and without my organization. It's quickly replacing our use of shared excel sheets and works as a very nimble database and project tracker.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be frustrating that we are limited to base collaborators within in our organization but the interfaces are a nice workaround.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking projects across groups. Making data visualizations more cloud based.

It has many capabilities, but can often cause frustration
What do you dislike about the product?
It often glitches, especially when used for creating invoices

Keeping all of our information in a centralized and organized place

I love its ease of use, very intuitive, the countless customization possibilities, you can really adapt it to almost any business case, and its collaborative aspect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable is not yet perfect for certain uses such as creating an internal forum, but improvements are rapid and I am confident it will become so quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allows you to organize yourself in the most efficient way possible. The power of its database coupled with its interface makes it very practical and extremely useful, with enormous productivity gains!
Better than Excel and Smartsheet

Ease of use, clarity, features for paid version
What do you dislike about the product?
Free version is getting more and more limited.

Organization and collaboration
An easy-to-use database that helps streamline collaboration and planning
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is a great tool for both individual and team planning. It's user-friendly, and setup in a way that makes it easy to access and understand your data. It's easy to customize your base with virtually any type of data you would need to track. It's also so helpful that Airtable offers forms and automations to help streamline data collection even further.
Airtable's website is also a useful tool, as there are many roubust tutorials that help new users figure out how to get set up (and help frequent users discover new abilities!).

What do you dislike about the product?
I have used Airtable for several years now, and the biggest downside (to me) is how more and more features are now only accessible from a paid membership. When I first joined, I never had issues with things like limits of collaborators on bases. Now, more features are reserved only for those who pay to have a membership. As someone who also likes to use Airtable for personal (and not exclusively business) use, it's a bit dissapointing to lack access to some of the paid features.
In addition, it's not as powerful as Excel when you need to work with a lot of numbers. If you need to implement special formulas into your database, Airtable likely won't cut it for you.

At my organization, I work in the Event Planning team. This means we are constantly cycling through events, each of which has it's own unique set of details and data. Airtable offers us a space to keep track of each event and the many nuanced details associated with them. And since we are a highly collaborative team, Airtable allows us to easily edit/update records so we can each see the most recent information in real time. It gives us a platform to see our events through from start to finish, and houses all the information in a neat and visually-pleasing base which we can reference even after the event concludes.
Airtable also makes it easy to pull CSV downloads of our bases, which is helpful so we can run/compile reports for other departments as needed during end-of-year reporting.
Through the use of forms, Airtable also gives us a place where we can create RSVP forms for events and request file uploads as needed for specific opportunities.
Automations also offer helpful reminders/streamline planning process (though truthfully, I have not spent the time to really dive in to see the full capabilities that automations can offer).
We can use due dates to help create task lists for specific events, which helps keep our projects on track without constant individual follow-up.

The key to making Database Coding extinct
What do you like best about the product?
The best low/no code database application that gives you almost all the ability you would get by developing applications through coding and raw database interaction
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features are still required to make it absolutely powerful over coding. These can be the most basic of the requirements that airtable would not support. But luckily their updates have started covering these needs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dont need the highest of qualifications to start development - Low or even no coding is required to get started
Can Appoint someone right away
Easier knowledge transfer from peer to peer
Access based usage - Provides for all kinds of user and developers to be onboarded onto airtable
Amazing Community - Don't have to learn everything about airtable features, can just dive right in and learn by others' examples. Mostly the problem you will encounter would already have been asked and answered by someone
