A Data Organization Platform with Nearly Limitless Customization Available
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Airtable allows me to build just about anything I can think of to organize my data, and that the data can take any shape and still be fit into a model that was built specifically for it. It's not just a spreadsheet replacement, or a task tracking tool, but rather I can make it into nearly anything I can think of. It's the kind of tool that you can easily use daily, both personally and professionaly, and then find yourself seeking out new things that you want to track within Airtable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is steep, though the recent introduction of Airtable Academy might help new users acclimate a bit better. For more advanced features, such as intricate connections between tables in a base or complex automations, the complexity spikes and it's often not straightforward how to get where you're trying to go, even as an established power user of the platform. Once you get there, you're good to go, but it's the tedium of building those things that drags the feel down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Of the many different things my company has started using Airtable for, our first use-case during implementation was to build a robust system for tracking a wealth of different connected pieces of information in a way that no out of the box solution out there could provide. We had a unique need and every vendor we looked at would be able to solve for half or less of what we needed, and it was always different pieces of the puzzle, so we couldn't get anything that would check all our boxes. Instead we looked at Airtable and took the time to build exactly what was required to meet the business need. Now we also own the data structure entirely, which means that if something isn't working how we want, or we think of something new we'd like included, we can do that without having to wait around for a platform to implement a feature request. Having that control has been incredibly powerful in being able to get things done on a shorter timeline than if we were reliant on another company's roadmap schedule.
Favorite automation platform I have tried.
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the user experience of Airtable. It makes data and automation super easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion, the biggest downside to Airtable is the limited formatting capabilities. I also wish there were more automation triggers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has automated so many of our processes and has improved communication in and outside of our team.
Flexible Product That's Whatever You Want It to Be
What do you like best about the product?
You can set up a variety of projects in Airtable. Once a project is set up, you still have the flexibility to shift based on developing needs. I heavily use the automations to save time and make the system work for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like that I can send emails through automations, but I wish the email system was more robust in terms of formatting and visual appearance (easily, that is). I also wish there was a way to track email opens and engagement. But I recognize that is probably not a landmark feature for most Airtable use cases.
I also feel there is a learning curve that can be tricky. When I share things with other users with less experience than me, it is a pain trying to help them understand what I've set up.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable a bit more like a CRM so it helps us manage hundreds (sometime thousands) of records. We are able to collect information and update records easily using forms and automations which saves significant time.
Better than just a spreadsheet!
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive design and merging of the best features of a spreadsheet with the power of a relational database.
The system is cloud-based and accessible across a multitude of platforms.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a steep learning curve for designing workspaces and interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps me manage a multi-deparment budget with 18 difference accounts across 4 regions. I previously used a spreadsheet to manage the budget, but found that Airtable is more efficient and user friendly across these different accounts.
AirTable has been a huge impact at my job
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable is a great organizational tool, that is effective to create custom views based on team member needs. I also love the Interface function to create tools that we use at specific milestones through our process. I've also been able to use AirTable extensions to create printable material to share in presentations.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations to print certain views of data. Also, I wish there was a better way to create a hierarchy chart (or "data tree").
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AirTable has become almost a one stop shop for information shared between teams and is the best way to organize information and tasks
Excel on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, pretty colors, loads quickly and doesn't crash with multiple users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it had more extensions and features on some of its views (timeline, kanban). I sometimes struggle to customize and layout views like I want. I also wish it was easier to share with people who don't have Airtable access (without having to make public an interface)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to have a project plan that is easy to update, and it can make a roadmap/visual view without additional effort that stays current. Ability to have multiple users in the system. Keeps track of tasks and milestones. Can filter/sort as needed. Managing multiple projects in one place
Became the source of truth, and reduced duplicated work.

It's visibility controll for all interested pairties in the data is what drew me to this.
I stayed for the functionality.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the rollout of promised new features is a little slow, or ill timed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the product across several departments, so it's helping us with ticketing, project management, inventory, calendar and scheduling and more. Airtable makes it beneficial because it's all connected!
Features Abound
What do you like best about the product?
This solution has become an integral part of every workday. AirTable's ability to covert data from various types of files is key when dealing with department systems. As a fairly new user, this ability has allowed for a smooth and easy onboarding process. Key data to support my role is now loaded and easily organized to drive an understanding of meaningful insights.
It's probably not as important, but the UI customization features related to appearance are more aesthetically pleasing than those I have worked with previously.

What do you dislike about the product?
As a new platform user, I find the variety of options for tables, views, and fields a bit overwhelming. It is easy to find them, but implementing those templates correctly can be challenging if you are not 1:1 with the template info. It leaves me feeling like, "I don't know what I don't know."
Also, they recently ended their "Expert Support." I was able to use this service on two different occasions, and both were extremely helpful in helping me feel more confident in my work.
This is likely due to restrictions related to my company's structure, but I am not experiencing any ease of integration currently.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use AirTable in various ways within training and enablement that is geared to support a sales team. I am currently working to expand the use of Forms to better track and process requests, both external and internal, from our team. These are currently undocumented and are usually made via various communication platforms.
Having a centralized hub for this information will drive better insights into the state of our team's performance and identify opportunities to enable the sales team.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it would load faster, we have large tables, which might slow it down.
I wish there was a better way to do "VLOOKUP"s, we have a workaround which works beautifully.

Powerful tool with some limitations but overall satisfying
What do you like best about the product?
There are many automation possibilities and integrations available. You can easily import Excel documents, among other features, making it a versatile tool for different needs.
As a SaaS,Airtable is an intermediate level. It requires a bit more digging and learning compared to some competitors, such as Monday.com. However, once you get the hang of it, it becomes a powerful tool for managing data and workflows. Best to have one team member responsible for managing Airtable and explaining it to the wider team. For users who are not very tech-savvy, it's best to create interfaces that simplify their interaction with the tool.
The Client Success team is very helpful. Additionally, there are loads of resources available online, and Airtable has a strong community of users who ask questions and support each other. I use it everyday and I am pleased.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a couple of downsides. Firstly, the fact that users have to sign in to see an interface can be inconvenient. Additionally, it's not possible to email an interface view directly, which would be a useful feature for many users.
