It’s complex but at the end easy to use
What do you like best about the product?

There could be improvement in terms of enabling some communication channels inside the app

Project management
Airtable has changed our business for the better!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the customization options. Everything you can dream up, you can make in Airtable. There are very few limitations and things that are limited tend to be implemented very quickly once asked for.
I love the ability to customize Airtable with APIs and other software both through Airtable directly and through Zapier. We have connected our Airtable instance to Slack for ease of use and reminders, etc. It really helps us when needing additional pings for tasks coming up, when expenses are due, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Airtable could replace all our products in the office, but we have no real way to make finished reports and proposals using Airtable as of the time being. We could connect to web merge and make documents that way, but we chose not to (and that's on us!). One day we hope to make Airtable the full solution for our office.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable to track thousands of compliance inspections for our customers. It cuts our admin time down to very little time due to the ease of use and many features that it comes with. We also have it push information to Slack via the API.
We also use Airtable to track our expenses for our employees. They have a forward facing form they can use to fill out to submit expenses, and on the back end I have people who can access the tables to approve expenses before they come to me for payment. We also use Airtable to break these reimbursable expenses into specific GL categories so come tax time, we can get the full tax deductions for our employee's expenses!

Go for it, you will not be remiss in choosing Airtable!!
Most functional database tool ever
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable balances ease of use with maximum functionality. I've been a user for about 3 months and I'm still discovering new ways Airtable makes my work projects easier. It's the perfect database tool -- the ability to attach documents inside a base is huge for corralling relevant information in once place.
What do you dislike about the product?
This isn't a dislike, but I do think it's important to note that Airtable doesn't do exactly the same thing as Excel/Sheets. I wouldn't personally use airtable for any financial sheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
-Actually being able to store all info in one location
-Being able to create custom views for different audiences
-Able to easily generate clean looking cards/one sheeters/docs without additional formatting work

Great for sharing information across teams / as a project management tool.
Game Changer for Property Walks
What do you like best about the product?
The app is the best thing to ever happen to property walks. Being able to real-time update a sheet AND attach pictures without clogging your phone memory is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
It drains your phone battery. That is legit my only negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for property walks of our apartment communities, for audits etc. And I use it for file audits
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a GAME CHANGER for property management. Doing unit walks takes 1/3rd of the time and has more accurate information than the old school paper and clipboard method.
Airtable as the Base of my Business
What do you like best about the product?
It's really hard to name only one great thing from Airtable, but I'll start by how I have all the information from my business on Airtable. From the base color scheme to the clients I have, projects I've worked on, my team, goals, deadlines and so much more.
Basically without Airtable it would be really hard to have all the information in one place. I really like Google services, including Google Sheets which does a similar work, but Airtable does so much more. I recently started a company growth campaign and I could add the start and finish dates, add them to my calendar (downloading an iCal file) and add my teammates to each process.
To sum every up, my business would not work as fluently without Airtable.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to sync my Google Calendar in order to invite my teammates directly from Airtable, and instead having to send them the file Airtable downloads to add it myself. It's not really bad, but might be better to sync it.
Also, the app feels limited and the interface doesn't look as good as the web app.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All information concerning my business is on Airtable, so basically all my problems. It centralizes all the info from my business and saves it in the cloud, for me to access it from my smartphone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay for the biggest plan. It's worth it. Or share it with enough people. You can actually share it with enough people to have it for free.
Importing exporting data and its customization made very easy
What do you like best about the product?
Its a new spreadsheet software which can be shared with others and helps to keep track of information .
Its very user friendly.
Its very user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too much options on screen. If you are a new user you could get confused as many options are on home screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keep tracking of use full data and better project management and task management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you switch from excel you see much better visual presentation and many other useful functions.
Airtable Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Airtable is an interactive spreadsheet. It has far more functions than Google Sheets, and it's more easily customizable than Excel. We use Airtable as our database for our entire company.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only qualm with Airtable is not very easily being able to see the revision history of a table. Google sheets lets you see who made what changes when. You can revert back to earlier versions of the table, but you can't exactly trace what changed and who changed it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are not quite ready to custom code our own database/management system, but no existing software fits all of our needs. We are able to customize our needs to fit on Airtable for the time being.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great step before creating your own custom database or management system... It has so many APIs that integrate into almost any software you are already using. User friendly. The forms function is great for submitting requests, or for customer facing feedback, entries, etc.
Airtable is more than just business software - it is mental organization software
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable on its surface seems like a very simple tool that allows you to build spreadsheets in a pretty way. But once you begin to unlock the power of connecting sheets to each other, you can do so much more - the ability to build your own app for your specific need is incredibly powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the mobile app allowed the calendar view, that is a big limitation in my opinion
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have built out content calendars in Airtable, we have project management in Airtable, and I've even built a complex meal planning tool for personal use in Airtable.
Airtable - The Best Cloud Collaboration Service
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is the best and my ultimate favorite business investment I have ever made. Airtable saves me a large amount of time every single day. It is very easy to use and to teach others to use as well. They make it easy to grant and administer a variety of access levels to different users. They have fantastic customization features and make it easy to display data or content to clients or other company users in various ways with a ton of customization levels.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have zero issues with Airtable at all. The free version is great and has amazing capabilities and those only increase with the paid version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Airtable, I am trying to save time and display both content and data to a variety of clients in a variety of ways. It saves me time in my daily work by allowing me to easily import or export data. It allows me to customize, classify and update tables and columns in a variety fo very quick ways.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Airtable is freaking fantastic. It will save you loads of time every single day. It is worth the spend to invest in the paid version, but the free version is great as well. I suggest setting aside time to learn how to use the platform day one but you will not regret investing your time in it.
An Organizational Dream
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable's best feature is its UX/UI. Rather than share an excel sheet database, I'm able to use Airtable's share feature to export my database to the clients who need to see it. This allows for greater visibility into my line of business, my offerings and what's available or in-market.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting and chart capabilities are less than i would hope. They're definitely working on it (love Stacks), but would really benefit from some reporting out features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable primarily as my database to track advertising placements across a wide range of platforms. What lives where and when, and then categorized by 'product'. I've been able to realize greater insight into network advertising, identifying what messaging is inconsistent and then Airtable has certainly helped keep track of what needs to come down when.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When first starting on the software, I found myself creating databases and then having to revise the format of my database to better fit the Airtable taxonomy. I would recommend poking around in the tool to begin and familiarizing yourself with how data can be organized prior to starting work in the tool.
