Great way to communicate and manage projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Airtable is intuitive, easy to edit, easy to export to CSV. It is a great platform for my own departmental projects and for inter-department communication. I like color coding, sorting fields, ease of creating new lines and items, flexibility of different fields (like you can have text, date, complete, priority, assign tasks, or whatever you think is relevant). I also like that you can easily nestle tasks within subprojects within projects within goals. I have also used it to create databases of information for clients and it is easy for them to view and understand vs something like excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a paywall for color coding and it isn't always easy to link projects and tasks together. Additionally, you cannot use equations in the cells to do any maths. I do not like that it sometimes crashes and you cannot see edits of others in real time. It also doesn't have a downloadable computer program, which would be very helpful if I am doing tasks offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inter-departmental communication and strategy. Tracking and managing goals and tasks. A great benefit is that everything can be exported to CSV and there are multiple views for each table created. I have used it with both my direct reports and with my managers to clearly communicate what has been done and where each task stands. It is excellent especially as so many people are working remotely and google drive doesn't always work especially well for communicating tasks. Email is a graveyard where tasks go to die.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
IF you are looking for easy plug and play, this is good online support. It is very similar to excel,
Amazing for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is really easy to use, visual, and has multiple views that allow you to look at your projects and tasks in different ways - grid, kanban, calendar etc. We use it for project management and tracking, purchase orders, a content calendar and more. It's great to have a tool that can be used in so many ways, and that allows for additional features through the apps feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
The trainings are great, but it took team members a bit to get used to it and start using it actively. For non-digital natives, there seems to be a barrier to understanding how to use it. We've found that our younger team members seem more likely to pick it up and run with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First, we are better able to allocate staff time to projects and focus areas. We're also better able to track our stock and what we need to order for the team. For our design team, we use the forms function to streamline requests. We have fielded over 200 requests through this form, which also allows us to analyze our workflow. These 3 functions allow our team to work more efficiently. Finally, Airtable allows us to have a high level snapshot of all of our work.

Their sales team was great and able to work with us on an annual invoice.
Airtable for lead management
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use. It is the improvised version of Google sheets.
What do you dislike about the product?
They do not have native integration with any tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We store all of our leads on Airtable and update their respective fields over there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very easy to use, and affordable by start-ups which are tight on budget.
This doesn't have all the functionalities which other CRMs provide, but you can consider using it when you are just starting with your business.

Airtanle is what you have been looking for!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the interface, it's highly aesthetically appealing, and the different views and format to share information make it really convenient. All the platform is very intuitive to train new people how to use it, and it can be used for almost all business processes depending on the template you chose. I have been using Airtable for close to a year now with my current job, and over a year with my previous organizations. You can make of it whatever you need and I recommend scheduling an appointment with a Brand Representative to make sure you are fully using the capabilities of the software. After some demonstrations, we were able to add additional branding items, and with the upgrade, we were able to implement it as a registration system for our events.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't something I dislike. If I could change the number of people allowed to access the ProPlan I would, but other than that, their customer representatives are very quick if I ever needed to complain, but I haven;t had any reasons to. Perhaps, offering some kid of analytics or insights instead of only the raw data and columns for some forms would be interesting to see in the future
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many project management organization spreadsheets are laid out and easily customizable for all team members to see and explore. Attaching documents and external links to tasks makes it easier to have one centralized location. Some examples include using it as an Applicant Tracking system, social media posting track, checklist for planning, project dashboard with templates, external links.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that you have a clear business defined by roles and departments before using Airtable, other than that, you may start creating random bases and there is an art to the organization. The product is there for you to support your information management, and definitely watch their training videos to grasp the concept!
AirTable is simple and has a lower barrier of entry for wide-spread adoption
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable bases function like Excel workbooks and spreadsheets only it is really simple to link between spreadsheets and use controlled vocabulary by drop down menus. Subsetting the data through views are another feature that I regularly use. These are most used functions that we use and AirTable handles it excellently!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are lots of block functions for the advanced user that I do not use or have not found it useful. Searching the entire base should be free basic function but I appreciate the cost model you have. It tends to get expensive for multiple users so I can only afford to give some of our lab members write access as we are an educational institution of government grants.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Adoption. With multiple spreadsheets which are not updated, I have tried to centralize everything on AirTable and link them so that bases can be updated (in progress). Also we can easily subset views to see the data in subset in different ways on the fly which is really useful for presentation and question time. It is easily adopted by everyone and I have different views for everyone to see their own subset of the data and importantly when one view is updated, everyone's view is also updated with the relevant information in real-time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like all databases, do take time to plan out the schema of the entire database as to what you want to capture as well as how to want to retrieve the data. This will ensure that you will have a functional and usable database which everyone uses and hence is really useful in the organization.
Great for tabulating samples!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is very intuitive to crossreference entries across tables, much more so than Excel datasheets. This way I can keep track of samples across multiple experiments!
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile (android) app is not as friendly as the web version, but hey, at least there is one!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's made it much easier to look up different pieces of data relating to an experiment. And for sample management, I can easily filter based on various conditions to see what is available.
A platform for anything and everything
What do you like best about the product?
How customizable and malleable the platform is. I use it to keep track of nearly all of my marketing reports and plan development, the ability to link records on different sheets was a game-changer in my SEO and content marketing planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limits on the number of records in the free plan. As an individual who needs to document hundreds of records with a decent number of data points and link those across other sheets, it takes a lot of records. When I have to share this with team members the cost increases pretty significantly for how little they use their account for this. Exporting is not a simple process for this table either due to the interlinking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a marketer who wears a lot of hats and has a lot of tasks, it's important that I keep my records up to date and in an easy to find location. Cue Airtable.
On Airtable...I keep track of our content marketing plan, updating a list of all topics that have been pitched, the copywriters assigned to each, and each piece's status. In addition, I schedule out the editorial calendar on the same sheet, which provides me with a reference. I keep track of our website sitemap as we plan to relaunch our website, this allows me to assign SEO keywords to each page and determine which pages to combine, delete or optimize next, and I heavily link records across sheets.
We moved our weekly departmental meetings to Zoom, replacing our in-person meetings that used a printed document. Now I use Airtable to update our projects as we discuss them, and have integrated Slack so we get real-time updates if these records are updated outside of our departmental calls.

Do it. Invest the time to experiment and learn the platform, it will pay off.
So organized!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable keeps us so organized! I love that you change information on one page and it changes it on all of them unlike spreadsheets where it doesn't communicate that way. We live out of airtable every.single.day.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit touchy in terms of people can delete things easily...but that's why I don't give everyone access so it's okay!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is staying way more organized and we have one source of truth of information and its where everything lives. And they have airtable forms that fills out information for us as well!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You have to do it. Take all your information from spreadsheets and input them into airtable!
Excellent organization tool. Airtable allows several teams to collaborate smoothly
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is easy to use and understand. You can create your own view without interfering with someone else's view.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a slight learning curve but once you get the hang of it is easy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it as an online view of the apparel collection for each of our accounts
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This will change the way you collaborate!
Best database for daily use.
What do you like best about the product?
The interface and the overall experience are both quite good, I'm not a heavy user of excel or databases, so it's good to use Airtable with that friendly interface. Also, the user onboarding modal that floats on the bottom right of the page is quite good to!
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess it's the price of the pro plan, as I live in Brazil the price is quite expensive. Also, they could allow some apps for free users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major problem I solve it's my daily organization, project management and some lists or planos for the future that i need to organize, and the major benefit I think it's the freedom and facility to rearrange and organize my stuff in any way that suits me better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The group feature in database are one of the best things I could imagine while managing my stuff.
