Sophisticated yet so easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the customization and ease of moving fields around. The training & online documentation is also more thorough than I'd have expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to have skip logic on some of the forms, but also totally get why that's probably just not possible. It's not a perfect program, but it is incredibly full-featured.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are combining information from where it used to live, in a variety of Google Sheets, and in a variety of Surveymonkey surveys. Now all our information is in one place and functions more like a database than a collection of spreadsheets. It's so much easier to look at our client data and keep things up-to-date and accurate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're doing something fairly complex, take the time to map out your data and figure out what's going to go where. On the other hand, it's really easy to move things around once you have them in place.
Useful tool for our nonprofit
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable has been extremely useful for our small non-profit. As a team we've been able to input information received from applicants to our organization for funding and then review and score the information as a team. Airtable has greatly enhanced to navigate the application from start to finish efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing major that we dislike about airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to use airtable to manage large quantities of information and the visual aspects of airtable really helps us process this information quickly.
Looks like a spreadsheet, acts like a database
What do you like best about the product?
We came across Airtable at a time when we were looking to move our growing dataset from Google Sheets into a more flexible and scalable platform. It has been a great tool so far, and we are looking forward to completing a team-wide implementation later this year.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see more customization within the Blocks feature (esp. when compared to the simple options for customizing charts in Excel). Similarly, I'd like to see more formatting options for the Form view (for now, we've continued to use SurveyMonkey for this part of our data process).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has solved a lot of our major pain points (linking records, saved views, secure collaboration) and has been fairly simple to set up.
Airtable for Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Engineers Without Borders South Africa uses airtable to manage many aspects of the organisation. Airtable allows for easy builds using templates or creating your own to manage information for members and volunteers. As a large organisation this has proved essential for team collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Airtable could be even better with more more customization for record linking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used airtable for everything from embedding views and forms in our website to managing our volunteers.
Great UX, easy to use, great for team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The clean and modern design, and the helpful templates that can be easily customised. Also enjoy the collaboration capabilities - no crashes yet!
What do you dislike about the product?
Have been a user for 3 months, haven't found anything to dislike yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I set out to create a database with sheets about organisations and people from scratch, and one of the Airtable templates fit the requirements almost perfectly, saving me a lot of time. They are easily customizable. I had never used Airtable before deciding to use it for this project, and the decision was based on another organisation using it to perform a similar task to the one I had. Airtable allows me to structure, organise and visualise a lot of information (text, URLs, dates, prices) in an easy to understand way.
Simple easy-to-setup and easy-to-use database
What do you like best about the product?
The spreadsheet format makes it easy for a person that does not know database query language to be able to create, set up and update tables and for a new person to take over management of the data,. Easy to setup links between tables. Easy to create web forms that can search the tables for data. Migration from mysql was very straightforward. Very nice and simple dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if we could create forms to update existing data. Data can be updated via airtable dashboard or via forms can be created via third party add-ons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintain database for a non-profit organization with all volunteer members that do not have database management experience. We are able to create forms for input data very easily allowing for multiple volunteers to enter new data and anyone person that is comfortable with working with spreadsheets is able to manage the database.
Easy to organize with detail
What do you like best about the product?
I like how thorough I can keep track of my projects on both a micro and macro scale
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike. At first it was a little confusing and I feel most of their introduction was with the intention of suggesting you purchase their additional framework. Instead of provide a filled out template, I think it would be better if there was a tutorial on how to make the templates or provide empty templates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the overwhelming feeling I can have when I take on many projects at once. The home screen gives me a lot of perspective letting me look at the whole picture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and don't hesitate to play around with the different templates even if it means deleting pre-set information, but it will help you find easier faster ways to organize your projects.
So Close to a Perfect Database Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love having an easy to use cloud-based database. I love the various viewing options - it can be like Trello on steroids. I love how easy it is to collaborate and store data and doesn't require a ton of training to understand or use.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest gripe is that despite being called a database, it still doesn't have the most compelling features of a relational database. You can't connect workspaces and the connections between tables within a workspace are pretty limited. Not being able to connect workspaces makes it hard to control which data is shared with different people and keeping workspaces clean. The lack of relational ability limits how useful and dynamic the data is. I also wish the filters were more robust. I would absolutely love even simply BI tools that could easily layer on top of the data and have everything in one place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable to store all of the info on our team members and manage all of our internal projects. It is great because I'm able to easily tie team members to individual projects and see what projects team members have done. I wish I could also create fields that filtered out old vs. current projects, but maybe someday. They constantly add new features, so I'm really crossing my fingers that they address my issues eventually.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just keep in mind that it is not a true relational database, yet (I hope!). It is great for lots of uses, but certainly not everything.
Love Airtable!
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to manage projects through kanban/board views
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a whole lot! It's pretty darn good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, roadmapping
Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
We have a unique leadership team and we are thrilled that we will be able to project manage the design of our high school collaboratively.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has been challenging, at times, to get the tech support we need when we need it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. We are in the beginning phases, but we have all be able to populate our base together, while working virtually.
