The versatility of Airtable has some for everyone!
What do you like best about the product?
With some personal ingenuity (or a template) we can create almost any data management system custom built to our business.
What do you dislike about the product?
For more advanced processes, you'll need to teach yourself through the discovery method. Or, a quick Google search to get the know-how from a forum post.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our custom needs for HR and Inventory needed something we could custom build. Airtable never disappointed!
Intuitive platform that's help me get organized
What do you like best about the product?
I find the templates to be super helpful in getting thoughts organized and systems in place. I've used it for everything from personal trip planning to content audits. The ability to customize every Airtable is very helpful and the way the information is displayed works perfectly for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside is trying to convince other people to switch over from Google sheets to Airtable. That's not because of anything inherently wrong with the platform but because we are so entrenched in the Google ecosystem that it's hard to make a change.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before I found Airtable, I hadn't found "my" system. The ease of creating new tables, sharing with other people, and finding solutions for all my list-making is an all-around benefit.
Great tool for filmmakers.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to switch between different graphic viewing modes, to move the units with images freely around the workspace, having tags and spaces for comments, controling sizes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take quite some time to learn to use this tool, because it has so many features and options. Perhaps it could become even more intuitive and therefore more userfriendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to develop the story for a documentary. It's flexible enough for this purpose and allows to store many copies of the script in a visual format with images.
Airtable has been a game changer for our small non-profit.
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is remarkably simple to use and understand. Its structure made for an easy transition from spreadsheets to a database. There's a bit of a learning curve, but there's a great support community. Moreover, Airtable is constantly innovating to improve its products.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's very little to dislike! It'd be great to be able to wrap field names--i.e make the field name row taller. I also would love to be able to present data to those outside of the organization in a more attractive format. I think interfaces may solve that problem, but I haven't had the opportunity to explore them. Two-way sync between bases is the final improvement I'd suggest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditionally, we've stored our data in various applications and locations. Accessing historical info is time-consuming, error-fraught, and frustrating. Airtable is helping us consolidate our data; in doing so, it provides a single source of truth. It has also improved the ways that we collect and distribute essential information. Airtable has been remarkably useful. What's most exciting is that we have yet to take full advantage of its capabilities.
Flexible, Robust, constantly improved
What do you like best about the product?
I like how airtable can be used for so many different projects. We use the a workspace our team built custom for us to track projects, vendors, invoices and budgets. We've also transitioned to planning our social calendars using their calendar views. It is easy to understand and so rewarding to use!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to increase our storage w/o upgrading to a higher-tier plan. When tracking and organizing our photos in Airtable we quickly ran out of storage space due to the high-res images we uploaded. We found a workaround by uploading smaller photos, however, we'd love to use one table as our primary photo and storage solution without needing to upgrade our entire account. We also use Box so willing to share storage in other places but that is not an option at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps us easily manage budgets, provide quick reference points or status updates to leadership, as well as give leadership a quick reference tab to view the high level overview of our accounts.
Creating custom apps for everything in our business without code
What do you like best about the product?
When a new need arises our team can implement a new way our app works within an hour after coming up with the idea
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can be daunting for users interacting with our custom app or base
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have built custom apps to help us track employee hours, project progress, client management, and even finances. Our company works on many types of projects that all function differently with how they progress to even how they are paid, Airtable allows us to customize our backend to accommodate these variances without hiring a software team.
Simplicity of a spreadsheet, with the capability of a database
What do you like best about the product?
As great as spreadsheets are, they have limitations. Whilst databases used to be the option to consider next, whilst it's great for a developer, it's not user-friendly for general usage unless building front-end interfaces and required the expertise of a developer. Airtable has filled this gap making it possible to create a database with the simplicity of a spreadsheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pro plan which is the highest option apart from enterprise is limited to 50 000 records per base. This is unfortunately a major limitation in the case that you have a larger dataset to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our case, it's a great place to work with our data, add, edit and update records. Then visualize the data in order to identify business insights and integrate with other saas platforms.
Game changer for project managers!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable helps me keep track of my entire portfolio of projects, current statuses, and task management. At a glance, I can accurately give status updates and let me leadership team know how I'm doing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning how to do some of the integrations and automations can be confusing and time-consuming. I'd love more tutorial videos to help with this!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is key to my project management -- there's no way I could keep track of everything without Airtable.
Flexible and Efficient
What do you like best about the product?
Regardless of what your team does, Airtable is flexible where it can adjust to your needs. The addition of extensions and automations make it an even stronger tool, but I recommend the free version to many teams inside and outside my organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides are that you can't edit files that are attached and the gantt features are not as strong as with Microsoft Project, but these problems can be remedied with functions or external file systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable for project management of multi-year projects. I track budgets, timelines, tasks, and needs, all while keeping everything visible to my large team.
Airtable changed our way of working
What do you like best about the product?
Automations, integration, team collaboration
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes at the moment. We like all the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collecting and working on big data.
