airtable is the perfect allrounder for managing almost everything
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about airtable is their versatility and how you can quickly adapt specific fields or views to serve your needs. I especially like how you can manage and organize information easily.
It is also great, that you can share different views and formulars with other people. Additionally I really love the community and that there are always new and exciting things, which make airtable even greater.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is really very little I dislike. One thing I would wish for is that you can share certain Blocks with others without having to share the whole base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I organize my tasks.
I also use it to write reports.
I use the color block to manage the color spectrum for my layouts.
I use it to record information to changes in processes. Here I often also use formulas so that others can also contribute without them having full access.

I use it to organize projects and many more.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it, and you will see for yourself. Be creative.
Airtable is the most promising business tool that most anyone already familar with Excel can use.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use ( very excel like in terms of how to create the rows/columns and formulas in the data base), It is effortless to create custom dashboards for any number of reasons or viewers that are tailored to the viewer. I can create a new dashboard in just minutes that is fully customized to the viewer for their projects. I can add a new project in just seconds and all I have to provide is the project name and 95% of the work is already completed. I add two numbers and I'm done with a new project for the life of that project. Try doing any of that if tableau. You will still be in training for Months while an Airtable user will be running circles around them in presentation and content and customization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently Airtable has an inability to display embedded URLs in blocks that are behind a firewall, if they could fix this then security concerns could be alleviated but also more information about the project could be included directly as opposed to having to use links that have to be followed. This is a major limitation IMO that they could readily solve but to date have not done so. It its the only thing preventing wide scale adoption IMO.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to monitor progress on all projects simultaneously with customizable dashboards for every viewer so they only see what they care about and are responsible for completing.
Colorful, fun, super useful tool!

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about it, but I will say that I sometimes choose to start a table in Excel or Google Sheets instead, and here are the reasons why:
-It's primarily a numbers table. Budgets, financial reports, etc. just make more sense to do in Excel.
-I need other people to add to it. People are more familiar with Excel and Google Sheets, and trying to get them to interact with a program they don't know is a barrier to their participation when it's already like pulling teeth to get people to contribute.
-When I'm teaching kids-- I know they would enjoy AirTable more, but knowing how to use Google Sheets will ultimately be more useful to them, so I want them to build their skills with that format.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For my children's chorus organization, I use AirTable to track our repertoire, enrollment (and years of participation so I can award 3-year, 6-year, and 9-year honor gifts), volunteer roles, and RSVP's to performances (using the Forms feature). I also provide each of my choirs with a table that contains their practice tracks, and love that they can listen to the mp3's directly from the table, without having to download them to their device.
Great tool that is easy to use and very helpful for our business. Recommended!
What do you like best about the product?
Ho easy it is to use, and how functional it is!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much ... I would like to be able to email everyone in a table direct from Airtable - that would be great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a database of students and create views of each training we put together (Yoga Teacher Training). We can share the views with the teachers. We can register through the app attendance rates etc.
Tons of power and flexibility in this "database with an interface"
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is tremendously flexible and has readily handled pretty much everything we've thrown at it. We've used it for product backlog management, user acceptance testing issue reporting and resolution, product roadmapping, contact management, reference guides, etc. If you understand anything about object-oriented design or database design, Airtable is almost an instant power tool. Creating references between tables is tremendously useful, the customizable views allow you to take full advantage of the robust filtering, sorting, and grouping capabilities, and it offers easy collaboration and useful sharing. It's one of my top 5 favorite productivity tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features I'd like to have aren't available on the free version, but that's to be expected. Some of the interactions are a bit fussy/clunky. Overall, I don't have too many significant complaints -- for the things I need it to do, it works very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically anything I previously would've used Microsoft Excel for, I now prefer to do with Airtable. Granted, I'm not doing heavy formulas or pivot tables -- Excel would still be better there. We've found it's a really useful tool to use for collaborating with clients and partners. It's really nimble, and allows lots of flexibility in how we manage and view information, which can help us get more done faster and easier.
A must have tool for all manner of work flow automation and data sharing. The clear market leader.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share a public viewable but not editable version of any Airtable I've made or have in my account. Conversely the ability to access and collect publically shared Airtables or listicles.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not having a GlideApps like capability that would enable me to publish an "app" of any of my Airtables..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for all my personal database needs. I am collecting some amazing listicles that provide amazing insights on demand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think through and map out what you want to accomplish before entering data.
As a designer, I love the option to view data in a way that is easy to see at a glance.
What do you like best about the product?
I love all the ways you can view your data. I like to use the expanded view to put in information. I'm not a big fan of grid views, so being able to view as little or as much as you would like is great.
I also like that I can keep all my data on projects and resumes updated easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything I dislike about airtable yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable for all of our project information, including photos that are best to use in proposals. I also use it to populate our website. The great thing is, if there is an updated photos, or updated text for a project all I have to do is update it in Airtable and it automatically updates our website.
I also use it to keep everyone's resumes updated for proposals.

Airtable improved everything -- at work and at home
What do you like best about the product?
It's versatile enough to accomplish most tasks but simple enough that most people can learn to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't wrap text in field names. Syncing between bases is great, but 2-way sync isn't possible yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable streamlined our processes, and it allows the distributed team to be on the same page. I also use Airtable at home to organize recipes and to organize my content calendar and expenses for my freelance writing. It can do almost anything, and I use it for everything!

It actually does what it is supposed to do
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy to use this program is. it's incredibly easy to not only create and save content but, most importantly, be able to find it again. I actually started using to store my sewing patterns but have carried it into my workplace to manage my VA
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a little bit of a learning curve but hang in there, it's worth it I promise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just the learning curve
