Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it & you will love it!
Extremely flexible and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The Forms feature of the software, for us, is really what sold us on switching over. Airtable is great for keeping track of our data, and being able to create online forms that are connected to our Airtable base has simplified and removed several steps in the process of submitting and digitizing our customer files.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are really quite few downsides to the software. While the Function feature is very useful and powerful, expansion of it will certainly maximize the potential of this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to replace a labyrinth of various software programs all with their own interfaces, with just this one program. The program itself is very straight forward and easy to use, but the Forms feature of it can make data input extremely easy. While still user friendly, the software also has a powerful Function function, that allows significant data analysis.
An excellent tool for organizing cross-referencing information
What do you like best about the product?
I love the linking function between tables; it eliminates the tedius work of rectifing data. Change it once and it autopopulates everywhere!
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it presents like a spreadsheet, it lacks some of the functions of one. Specifically, getting it to do math within the columns can be difficult or impossible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run a small team that generates data consistently (who did what on which project for how long using which resources). I need a tool that can hold that data and produce useful metrics from it. Airtable is far and away the best tool I've found for that job.
Perfect one-stop shop
What do you like best about the product?
Can't really just pick one thing. I love the versatility for whatever I need to organize, whether it's planning an event, managing a content calendar, or a research log. I love the ability to include photos right in the cell. I love the sort and group functions , and the multiple views! So many, many ways to manipulate and view all the same data!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really stands out as a problem. Would love to have the ability to link between bases, so we can really create a centralized database for some of our uses but definitely can live without.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to become familiar with the application because there is a lot of useful tools packed inside of it. The more you learn about it the more useful it can be for your company as a whole. There can be a learning curve in the beginning but just keep playing with it. Setting up the bases will really help you clarify what kind of data you're collecting and why.
Really easy to use, intuitive, and functional
What do you like best about the product?
so easy! visually appealing! really makes organizing big project much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that bases could link to other bases - as it is Tables within Bases link to each other - means our Base has a ton of tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of all the programs and projects our arts council has going.
Online Report Collaboration for University Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable was exactly the online database tool our University team was looking for. We needed to convert from using spreadsheets to an online system to track our retirees with the goal of better communication among different teams across campus in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
We like everything as Airtable is meeting all of our needs and so much more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With our cross campus collaboration, we needed to limit what data other teams could view to do their jobs and Airtable’s shareable views did just that. Airtable exceeded our expectations with easy setup from the start, advanced formula options, and intuitive design. Rapid setup and easy to use database team collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Airtable as a fast and affordable option as an alternative to spreadsheets and local databases.
Excellent collaborative database tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy to use Airtable is and how beautiful the end result is. Gallery views are fantastic and I use them to share information with my students all the time. Form submissions to add information has been transformative to my tracking of student projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't dislike anything. I do wish you could use the gallery view on the iphone app, but I know they're working on that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to track progress on projects and to manage tasks with large teams. For example, I have all the students submit their paper topic via a form and then it's immediately visible to them in a saved gallery view so they can see what all the claimed topics are and see who might be a logical research partner. This way they also don't all try to work on the same topic as they can immediately see each others' topics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out and see if it works for your needs. The free version was enough for our purposes for nearly a year.
Easy, intuitive and functional
What do you like best about the product?
All the ease of use of an excel sheet and all the functionality of Access database with added tools to work online and to create nice and beautiful reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price could be high for little companies or foundations that need to buy the license for several users. It could be nice to have a downloadable version to work offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to manage everything: projects, tasks, databases... It is really easy and usefull to improve the productivity, and to encourage and facilitate the team work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and you will decide for it
A Growing Platform for a Growing Program
What do you like best about the product?
I coordinate a growing film program, and I like the ability to have large amounts of data at my fingertips. It's very easy to setup databases and link the data across datasets. I appreciate the design aesthetic. It feels very modern and fun but not cutesy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the iOS apps to be a little more robust. You can do basic data entry on them, but you can't create all the views available in the web app. Having access to data offline in the iOS app seems to be a key missing feature. I'd like to see more customization in forms and views.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a growing educational film program, we need to coordinate both students and equipment in a way that maximizes resources. Airtable allows us to visualize a lot of data very quickly. We are able to get large amounts of data directly from the student and streamline a lot of our old paper processes.
Amazing Software
What do you like best about the product?
I've been searching for a visually appealing, easy to use, easily accessible database for so many years that I gave up and created my own filemaker database on a personal server. Stumbling upon this app has completely changed that. Airtable is perfect for my needs; easy to use, adaptable but super powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The IOS app is currently a little limited but I'm hoping this will be addressed in the near future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has essentially replaced several pieces of software for me. It acts as my CRM, my Inventory tracker, my project planner and my schedule planner. What I love is that I can now tie all this info together and using things like Zapier, can automate a lot of my processes.
