Smooth, Simple Navigation, Great at what it does!
What do you like best about the product?
Flows nicely honestly. It is simple to navigate and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is good at what it does. Tend to run into issues if you try to get it to be too much more than that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
inventory tracking. Was Teeerrrriiibllleee before. Really like the ability to have drop down fields for employees and statuses for computer setups. Its been a super helpful tool!
Performant and organised work
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable was used to track the statuses of our negotiated contracts. It made it much easier to delegate who was responsible for each contract, see what stage it was in, and understand which steps we needed to cover next. We also had lots of documents and some catalogues tied to those contracts, representing discounts for specific parts in maintenance, for example. This is where it really shines: even with large amounts of data across multiple rows, we didn’t experience any lag while scrolling. That was honestly mind-blowing, because when we used different supplier websites for similar information, they lagged a lot.
It was easy to implement and integrate, and customer support seemed responsive whenever we needed help. We used it quite frequently without issues—no downtime—and we also weren’t worried about losing important data, like we sometimes are with locally stored files.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like the limitations on the plans, especially around storage and AI credits. For instance, the Team plan only allows 50k records, which can be troublesome when you’re working with large documents. We’re also somewhat concerned about vendor lock-in and how easy it is to export data. That said, we did find ways to export our data if needed, which is a relief, but it also meant we had to learn another tool to make it work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mentioned, we manage a lot of catalogues and contracts tied to those catalogues (e.g., part discounts and which contract covers that discount), and many of these include a large number of rows. In other tools, records with that many rows would usually lag and feel slow, but we didn’t encounter that at all here.
We were also able to add records and then view them using the multiple views feature, which was especially helpful since we had pictures of the parts referenced. Different services benefited from this as well, because we could assign records (e.g., HVAC System Maintenance) along with the supplier’s previous work, so we had a reference for their portfolio. Overall, we saw it as an “Excel on steroids,” since we could keep this kind of portfolio in one place. It was really neat and could even be used to show off how strong our team is. It worked well for us.
Also in other parts of our team, that I did not have access to but was in process of integrate, was the Salesforce integration which I heard that it worked ok as we also received some exports of contracts in a way that was desired for our work.

Clean, Flexible Views That Make Organizing Data a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Airtable has set views for the same data. Nothing is more clean cut than how you can organize your data to fit different purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Interfaces can't be public, which is unfortunate. I would love to have that functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to organize my data to be more usable versus just nice to have. It automates a lot in my business as well with my data which makes me happy.
Excellent for Managing and Gathering Business Data
What do you like best about the product?
The best use case for me was to manage and gather data for our business needs
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike but pricing can be lowered a bit
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing data and dynamic management of data for our business like we do visit corporate office to promote our business then we use it
All-in-One Workflow Solution with Seamless Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I find Airtable easy to build new things and the end user ease of use is fantastic. I also appreciate the integrations with other tools and how easy it is to build automations. It's really helpful to be able to integrate with tools like NetSuite to read product information, Slack to send reminders, and email tools or Typeform to automatically create records.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like there could be more guidance on scalability when Airtable is used across the entire organization. Also, some kind of 'portal seats' should be made available for internal users who only need one interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable solves intransparency and having several sources of truth by centralizing information, reducing reliance on multiple Google Sheets and tools. It provides a single source of truth, ensures transparency, and automates workflows across my company, enhancing ease of use.
Advanced Tool That Enhances Financial Management of our business
What do you like best about the product?
I like the advanced tools of Airtable as it is one of the best alternatives for MS Excel that we've used for our business earlier. After installing Airtable in our business, we're able to manage our finances in a much better way, and it is a more productive tool. While working on complex database and financial entries, Airtable helps us dealing with real-time editing in the spreadsheets. The team collaboration feature allows different members of the finance team to recheck all the transactions, increasing data accuracy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I only struggled with the complex user interface of this software as it has advanced data management tools. It's was really difficult to learn everything in the beginning for new users without proper training. So we took help of youTube video sessions to learn it's functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use mainly use Airtable to manage our database related to business. It helps us managing accounts details and provides profit and loss analytics monthly. The advanced tools allow real-time editing and team collaboration which ensures data accuracy when stored in clouds.

Airtable: From Scattered Spreadsheets to Structured, Live Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
I use Airtable as the backbone for several operational and sustainability systems across multiple international sites within a regulated life sciences environment.
What started as structured inventory control has evolved into linked systems covering procurement governance, supplier mapping, waste consolidation and Scope 1–3 emissions tracking. The ability to build relational, auditable data structures without heavy IT involvement has been a major advantage.
Airtable gives me database-level capability while remaining flexible enough to adapt as reporting expectations evolve. I can design systems around how the organisation actually operates rather than forcing processes into rigid software templates.

What do you dislike about the product?
I genuinely have very few issues with Airtable, but as bases grow and datasets become larger, performance can slow slightly if they are not structured well. In my experience, this is largely mitigated through thoughtful architecture, clean relationships and good data organisation, but it does require some planning as systems scale.
One area I would like to see improved is how AI fields handle incomplete inputs. When an AI field depends on multiple other fields, it can stop generating output if some of those fields are blank. It would be useful if the AI could instead produce a partial output and clearly state which information is missing, rather than failing entirely. That would make AI-driven workflows more resilient in real-world use where data is not always perfectly complete.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before implementing Airtable, much of the operational and reporting data I was working with lived across disconnected spreadsheets and email chains. That made consolidation slow, version control difficult and reporting preparation more manual than it needed to be.
Airtable has allowed me to centralise supplier, operational and reporting data into one structured, relational system. Instead of stitching information together at the end of a reporting cycle, the data is connected from the start.
The use of Interfaces has made live data accessible in a consistent and controlled way for different stakeholders, which has improved transparency without exposing unnecessary complexity. AI fields and automation have helped standardise reporting outputs, and tools such as Omni make it easy to generate executive-level summaries quickly, which is particularly helpful at cycle end when leadership wants clear insight without deep technical detail.
Overall, it has reduced consolidation time, improved traceability, clarified ownership of metrics and increased confidence in the data being presented. It has shifted reporting from reactive to structured and repeatable.
