Airtable is amazing
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable can function just like a normal spreadsheet that looks beautiful, AND it can add database capability to the spreadsheet. We end up using link to another record feature constantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
"Views" feature gets confusing. Sometimes a bunch of random blank records get added if you're not careful. I dislike that their paid feature is per user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable for Inventory management, CRM, sales flow
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try importing a spreadsheet you already have to play around with the features.
Versatile, extendable, colorful
What do you like best about the product?
Once I got the hang of Airtable, I began to use it for everything. For my business, I use a database to keep track of project status, maintain a list of clients, onboard new or potential clients, calculate total revenue, time track, send personalized follow up and referral request emails with SendGrid, and design invoices. I also maintain a database for my podcast production schedule, with an integrated form for guest appearances, and I can use Zapier to send guests directly to my MailerLite account. The calendar view is incredibly useful for planning out my bookings, and with blocks I feel like I can display my data so many different ways. I'm kind of a superfan.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were conditional formatting! Right now I have to use emojis as a visual way to distinguish statuses and that's not my favorite. I'd also appreciate the ability to include formulas in pivot table blocks if possible. I also have to use some fairly creative formulas for some of my invoicing based on days worked, which I wish were a little more intuitive. Finally I'd like a calendar view on mobile as that is the feature I use most often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily scheduling and project management. As a freelance editor, my project timelines aren't always cut and dry, so being able to switch from database view to calendar view is hugely helpful, and I love not having to maintain and update an independent calendar. I'm also able to break down revenue by referral source, type of project, etc., and fine-tune my client selection so that I'm getting the most buck for my bang, as it were.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the trial period to get a hang of features like rollup fields, and make use of the forums if you get stuck.
Doing the Impossible in 1 hour
What do you like best about the product?
I found that Airtable solves problems instantly. The ability to quickly, and I mean quickly, throw data into it and produce answers is astounding.
What do you dislike about the product?
lacks referential integrity. you can't control that records aren't deleted. many things that I want from a data management syste.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starting with no knowledge of Airtable I was able to pop the data in, add a map and plot 5000 data points for all my crews working on a big government project. I was able to save myself over $40,000 by being able to prove that other crews caused the trouble and not ours. It only took 3 hours.

Great way to stay organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to use. Easy to teach other team members how to use as well. Very intuitive.

The view from mobile devices isn't ideal. Much better to view from a desktop computer or laptop.

We are keeping our nonprofit rescue team organized and on track. This provides an easy way to track the status of each dog and cat we have in our care.
A powerful tool for recovering spreadsheet addicts
What do you like best about the product?
For those of us who live and breathe Excel, Airtable is a great tool. It's versatile, easy to use, and makes collaborating on just about anything a snap. I love that you can have multiple bases, all easily customized, to track everything from prospects to client assets.
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable is so powerful it can be too confusing. There are multiple ways of linking entries and setting up bases so sometimes my bases end up being overly complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to track client leads, manage a publication calendar, and stay on top of client assets. The most powerful way I use it is to track all prior blog entries and tags and create a library of my own assets.
Excel on the Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable it's its preexisting base templates for professionals from different domains. This gives a start-with planning approach when working with customers from different verticals.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more formulas available and also templates from more industries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, budgeting.
This is my favorite online tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the different spreadsheets or bases, but really the premium feature of blocks is the BEST because you can turn data into almost any visual format.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I had all the options for free and I think the color customization option shouldn't have any 'premium' options that cost money.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manages my entire project and countless tasks and information that goes with it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before you start making different bases for your brand, plan them out by category and use the template gallery as inspiration.
Awesome flow, ability to configure, and manipulate data.
What do you like best about the product?
The simple, streamlined structure. Just enough but not too much.

The lack of date tracking for changes and revisions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizes data well and provides the ability to relate different data fields to each other.
Great for team collaboration and personal projects
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable allows different views of the tables to let each person view the data in a way that works best for them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like more in-depth information about formulas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to inform everyone about ongoing tasks and pay for multiple projects. Airtable let us streamline this process to reduce confusion and the time spent updating our records. We also use it for managing a mentorship project, and it has allowed us to approach our system in new ways.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the free version. It has a lot of features that will make you confident you're choosing the right system to manage your projects. The paid versions are also very reasonable.
