AirTable Excellent for Multiple Tech Needs
What do you like best about the product?
I love that AirTable can fulfill numerous different functions that will eventually replace numerous tech platforms for us, including social media managers, content management systems, time tracking, and even our project management system. I also love that it can integrate with Zapier to automate capabilities, saving us a ton of time and potential for error by having to make duplicate entries in multiple tech platforms and systems in order to track our activities. I really appreciate that it can work as a middle ground between business users and our data/database experts, so that we can all use the same system despite having different skill sets and comfort levels with relational databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a fairly significant learning curve with Airtable because it does have so much functionality and benefits from careful process mapping. I also still prefer to clean and parse data with Excel, because those commands seem more intuitive and natural than manipulating and translating data in Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allows us to condense a lot of isolated tech and data platforms into one, which has cost savings and makes processes easier to implement and iterate across our entire organization because we only have to make those changes in a single platform's infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Airtable really works best for tasks/processes with careful planning, process mapping, and a dedicated admin person. Its learning curve is high enough that we did have to dedicate significant internal resources to learning how to use and integrate Airtable before we could feel comfortable enough to change and/or dismantle our current internal processes.
Using AirTable to manage dynamic relationships
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable is extremely user-friendly. It allows you to easily set up tables and build relationships between them. Also, the multiplicity of features gives you ample tools to accomplish your tasks. I have been able to use AirTable to manage a complicated program and have show it to other colleagues who are implementing AirTable to solve other solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that you cannot link records between bases. It would be helpful to have them link to other records so we can have large amounts of information in one place to disseminate to other bases as needed. Also, there is not much flexibility when it comes to embedding views on websites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to track relationships between hundreds of legislators and our members as we facilitate the building of relationships. We are able to centralize our program and give access to those who need to see the information.
Best Organization Tool for Work
What do you like best about the product?
I am big on having something for organization and Airtable offers it! I like how easy it is to organize clients and their information while also being able to share it with my coworkers. We have a ton of clients we work with so I also love the tagging system in Airtable and how we can organize clients with tags. This had made workflow easier and has given us the chance to get more clients and build our business from the ground up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the biggest thing I dislike is Airtable seems to switch over the tabs and filters when someone enters new ones or is viewing something. This makes it a little difficult for me and my coworkers to use it at the same time. We all work in different locations of the country so it's hard to communicate who is using what. It would be easier if filters and things like that changed if there are multiple users viewing projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really helped us with organizing clients. Like I mentioned we have a ton of clients and it can get confusing but with the filter and tag system it's much easier to navigate clients and get their information.
Airtable is my new favorite
What do you like best about the product?
It’s such an easy way to organize my information and separate into folder areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it could copy a folder and than allow for adjustments to be made from there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to organize my clients information and it’s made it all easier to read and access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don’t like Trello or Asana this is the one for you. It’s a great mix of the two systems.
AirTable for project based business
What do you like best about the product?
I can share my AirTable with others involved I a project to share all information pertaining to project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout or format options are not customizeable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solve the problem of being disorganized. I’m able to organize all of my clients and their information.
Great organizational resource
What do you like best about the product?
It’s everything in a regular spreadsheet, but looks and functions like a fancy software!
What do you dislike about the product?
If you want to move columns, you need to click and drag. This gets tedious when you are working with a lot of columns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project tracking is made so much easier! We can check off individual rows, add photos right into the block, and color coordinate.
Great if it works for you
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable looks extremely organized and colorful, making it a great tool for visual sorting. Lots of options for how to sort things, and the gallery view is extremely helpful for casting talent, which I do a lot of at my job.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are almost too many options, and little direction on how to use them. Can be overcomplicated at times, but once you learn how to navigate, it's a great tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sorting talent and projects and materials (that go to specific projects) has been great. We realized how much easier it was to keep all of our materials together and associated with the correct projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for projects with several kinds of materials/documents associated, also excellent for any talent-centric projects where it is helpful to list attributes with a photograph.
An Unorthodox (But Effect) Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's ability to organize various materials across formats and keeping a complex information stored in a single, easily accessible location. It's a great tool for project management and tracking, assigning workflows, client planning, and storing content..
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable still has a number of formatting bugs and one particularly big downside to the software is the inability to link disparate databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The greatest problem is has solved has been acting as a more efficient replacement for Excel or Google Sheets for keeping shared records.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to consider all the options before making a final decision on this product.
Serves its prupose
What do you like best about the product?
I like the different kind of customized fields you get with Airtable, especially the ability to single and multi-select categories in one cell of the spreadsheet. This is not something I’m able to do with excel or google spreadsheets so I appreciate that.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like that it’s not very widely used yet, so sometimes when I send an Airtable to people outside my organization, they have no idea how to use it, have trouble gaining access to it, and overall have a difficult experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Again, I love the ability to have different uniquely customized columns.
Not the typical spreadsheet creation software you're used to work with.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it keeps all the information organized for quick and easy tracking, it is particularly good to keep shared records that help you have all your data organized without the need to create spreadsheet or tables that make your work more complicated. It has very useful and interesting features for the edition of your documents such as inserting images, performace dashboards that keep you updated of the progress of whatever your tasks or objectives have to achieve. Customer service is responsive, very friendly, with agents who really know the software and offer you the solution you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
For users who are experts in working with purely spreadsheet based software airtable will seem short in functionalities so they will have to adapt to a more general experience in handling information the way it implements it this tool. The strict levels of permissions it presents for customers, by this I mean that they are only limited to not fully accessing a resource or just seeing it without editing and sharing possibilities, this makes very inflexible the control that you have over a resource or project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped me organize my personal and work activities as I use airtable for both purposes. The simplicity in which I can build a planning process through the functions it offers has made me able to perform with greater productivity day after day, fulfilling all the activities proposed for the week or for the projects in which I work in my company. The use of blocks has improved the workflow of our company making our team efficient in making decisions and collaboration among our team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is more than a spreadsheet creation tool, the functions it offers leads to the management and design of project plans and activities to an entire new level, with unique organizational properties that adapt to any type of information entered to the no matter what type of teams will use it, they will find highly helpful development, management and collaboration functions for their workflow, whether you use it to assemble a guest list for a wedding or to keep a development team informed software about logs in a database, airtable will provide the best experience and quality at all times.
