Best Project Management Tool I've Used
What do you like best about the product?
This isn't just a project management tool, it is also a fantastic data base to keep all the files when managing a project. It is very easy to set up the projects as long as you know how you want the project to flow. That might take a little time, but doing the work on the front end makes managing the project later a breeze.
Their customer service has also been very attentive when questions arose.
Many projects can be done on their free version, but the paid version opens up a lot of automations that can be very useful. You can even sent out forms or surveys for data capture and there are plenty of Zapier integrations between AirTable and other business programs.
It is very easy to communicate within a project with your team by @mentioning them. You can see all the communications between the collaborators in a stream within each project. It is very helpful to keep the communications in one place.

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing isn't totally clear when you are giving access to collaborators. So keep an eye out and make sure you only grant the highest level of access a person will need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to keep track of all our projects and know who was responsible for each component. We've used other project management tools, but this one was the only one that met all our needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can easily move a workspace from a list view to a kanban view and back again without loosing any data or insights.
Global Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Working across two continents (US and Africa), Airtable has simplified our team's workflow. Trying to manage our project via email had become burdensome and was truly untenable in terms of reviewing and editing draft documents. This has allowed our team the ability to complete tasks more quickly and avoid the "lost in email" problem that is so common in team projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the type of non-profit work we are doing, I would have preferred to save a bit of money by upgrading to the Plus plan (with educational discount), but we decided to pay the additional cost for the Pro plan. Ultimately, I am glad we did, but in the realm of global education, it is important to manage costs. The Pro plan's features certainly are powerful and worth the additional expense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved time management!!! All team members are accountable and engaged.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just jump right in and try it. You will be amazed at the ease of use. Watch the tutorials--they are great.
Great PaaS
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is extremely intuitive and easy to use. The documentation is also good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more customization with the fields and more granular user permissions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to create a sample inventory tracking system, build an event scheduler amongst other things
Innovative Learning Review
What do you like best about the product?
Team Collaboration and ability to share out results to stakeholders. Specifically, we can receive data, create reports and share results with affected users. Also, we like the ability to share out reports in many formats.
What do you dislike about the product?
No major dislikes at this point in our evaluation. It would be nice to turn off the index numbers of sheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We take voluminous data from various databases and collate into shareable links. Specifically, we take downloaded CSV files and manipulate them into reports that we share with stakeholders.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Need a mechanism for billing less than 50 users.
Total Game Changer
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Airtable is the functionality. It has the power of excel, google drive, Microsoft, but its functionality is superior to all of these.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that this program requires a learning curve for those who are not familiar with it...this takes time if you are building from the ground up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this program as a Case Management system for our small nonprofit. In the future, we will track the data of young people from the journey from homelessness to being housed in safe and secure housing.

Great Tool For Non-Profit Data Management

Love the multiple functions of AirTable. Great tool for tracking volunteer hours, student registration, and collaboration with consultants and team members.

Team Collaboration, Data Management
Great to use for a database, to track projects and get collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can see and manipulate the data in multiple formats. It is great that we can get data directly into our database through forms without giving volunteers access to the sensitive data.
It is compatible with zapier which allows us to automate a lot of things in addition to the ones available through airtable.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far we have not found a way to indicate a certain number of slots for a shift.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to track volunteer projects, shifts at an event, and to replace our CRM.
Dynamic and Intuitive with Endless Uses
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Airtable for at least the past 9 years for many different professional and personal applications, including project management, inventory management, contact management, and as a content management service. I love the versatility and collaborative features, especially the ability to create different views of a table with their own websites that you can tailor to the needs of your audience. Also, they're always adding great new features. It has been by far my favorite and most recommended web application for some time now.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm hoping they enable two-way sync between separate bases soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking projects and tasks in a simple and intuitive way that non-savvy users can learn quickly. The comments feature makes it possible to get quick status updates from team members without having to give them edit access.
Airtable is perfectly suited for building a custom CMS. This has become my primary usage of the platform, along with project management.

Watch all the demo videos and start with a few different templates to get a sense of all of the different ways it can be used.
Finally!

I can use airtable for business and personal. I can manage all of my projects in one place. I also LOVE the form. I have yet to use all of the features and I am still blown away by this software.
