Airtable is 100% part of my daily tool stack
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Airtable for years now, with my clients, as well as for my own business, and even personal use. It's so flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Base Management page. I do wish it was easier to organize my different bases or have them in different views like a list.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's perfect for organizing anything. Everything from Product GTM planning, Expenses, Content Management, a tracking my owned books. I use it for everything.
Because you need your sanity back
What do you like best about the product?
With Airtable and Make.com, I believe you have the core of what you need to automate just about everything for your organizational needs.
Depending on your specific needs, you may need other things like Tally, Calendly, Hubspot, etc... But they all have to feed into some central repository, which is where Airtable shines.
Inside Airtable, you'll not only get to organize all your information but also do things in response to them. The "Automation" feature is a godsend in this regard. It can send emails, update other records, and even call out to other webhooks provided by make.com or similar no-code software based on a trigger.
If you have other people who have to view, edit, and enter information Airtable now has what's called an "Interface" on top of what they have always had called "forms." They're not perfect, but they've come a very, very long way. They should be able to get most of your needs met.
Granted, you may still need some custom coding here and there to get your company organized and managed through airtable.
If you want in-depth control over your information and how things happen in response to changes in the information, starting with Airtable is the way to go.
If you want to put UI first, you may find Airtable lacking.

What do you dislike about the product?
Having used Airtable from the very beginning, I have a lot of stuff I have to clean up because new features in Airtable have made much of my earlier hacks unncessary.
I also want the "Interface" feature to improve to the degree that it can at least do everything the "form" feature can do (i.e. conditional visibility, etc)
Finally, the various automations are hard to track. There has to eventually be a better way to organize this. This may be on me now with the new "section" feature, but there may also be an opportuntiy to innovate here in some way to make it easy for people to see at a high-level when automations are triggered, what they do, and how they interact, etc...

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem 1: Unorganized information -> Solution: Table
Problem 2: Time wasted doing routine work & feeling like I've forgotten to do something -> Solution: Automation
Problem 3: You want what other people do to be fed into the same place so you can see how everything is going -> Solution: by forms (quite a bit clunky) but much more improved with interface (although not as mature as forms in its features)
Problem 4: Need for variety of reports from same data -> Solution: Extension
Problem 1 & 2 is mostly solved
Problem 3 is still in progress as interface needs more improvement
Problem 4 is mostly solved, but could use the help of the "page designer" being more improved.

Airtable Made Me Question My Life Choices.. in a good way.
What do you like best about the product?
I got so excited about Airtable when I first started using it that it made me question my values. I almost felt silly that spreadsheets could get me so engaged that it made me wonder if I needed to switch career paths to something more database-centric.
The GUI is everything. Airtable manages to make previously boring, tedious data more compelling & interesting to look at.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is that it's not an industry standard. I want everyone to use this so it makes collaborating that much easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps me use spreadsheets, period! I love a good spreadsheet but without functionality PLUS form, they don't hold my attention long enough for me to keep coming back.. Airtable solves for this elegantly.
Amazing and Flexible Platform
What do you like best about the product?
We use Airtable as a quick and easy way to store and manipulate ad-hoc data sets. I also use Airtable personally to track my book, music, and other physical media collections. Setting up an interface for inputting and viewing my data is easy. Extremely customizable and intuitive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I have with the platform is the difficulty of backing up the attachments I have embedded in my database. This can easily be offset by creating backups of my data on a regular basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable augments other database platforms we use. The flexibility and ease of use of Airtable make the management and analysis of ad-hoc data simple. Provisioning new databases is a snap.
Airtable is infinitely adaptable and easy to use with teams.
What do you like best about the product?
I can just start, either from a template or from a basic beginning. I use Airtable for a variety of data from storing research logs, or submission data. As an artist I really appreciate that it's a visually pleasant environment. I've also found collaborators are willing to try and stick with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get complicated in terms of managing dates and time zones, especially if everyone is not on the same time zone or even if you travel and enter data about the first time zone while on the road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It stores files, including images at high quality and is very helpful for archiving a vast amount of digital assets. I also use it to manage works flows and financial data.
An Excellent Data Management System!
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to see your data in multiple ways - different views, filters, sorts, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the forms could use a little love. They work well, but require a lot of setup - conditional formatting, automations, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data management all in one place. Updating data once updates it across all spreadsheets (if it's synced). Less spreadsheets!
Excellent for small businesses!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease and potential for customization! As a small business, I need to track data and the large software companies and expensive. With Airtable I'm able to accomplish the same tasks and keep it within my budget. Highly recommend!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is so much that airtable is capable of doing that it can be overwhelming. I also have not invested the time to learn about the potential, though. Luckily I had a customer who referred me and was able to offer assistance. Though overall I haven't had much to dislike. I need to use it more and more to keep learning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is solving my issue of finished goods and lot number tracking. Now I konw exactly where my orders and coming in from and the exact lot numbers I've shipped out. It's helped my business record keeping immensly!
Phenomenal tool for organizing information
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to assign tags and filter my information easily. Having all of the different data types available means that I can easily customize each sheet to hold a variety of information, and then organize that information clearly. That's especially true of things like dates, where I can then switch views and create a Gantt chart or see my information as a calendar. There is so much flexibility!
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are going to be exporting your sheets into Excel (which is relatively easy to do) note that any box in which you have multiple tags will create text in one box in Excel (meaning that you can't then filter by those tags in the spreadsheet). You can get around that by using text to columns, but it's a bit clunky if you are hoping to export your data for making graphs. I'm also not sure about Airtable's privacy standards - I would have absolutely loved to keep all of my research data linked sheets, but I didn't know how to communicate the data safety to my ethics review board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to keep track of all of the papers I have read for my thesis; Airtable makes it very easy for me to keep track of what I've read, and organize that reading by assigning tags. Then, when I take notes on things like gaps in the research, I can find the notes that are most relevant to a certain subfield or area of study.
