Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it & you will love it!
Great and easy tool for data and project management
What do you like best about the product?
We switched to Airtable from using excel sheet as we are a global membership organization with team members located in different countries. It really helped us to share data on our projects and improve our workflow. It is really easy to use, secure and we can incorporate a lot of different lists into one base.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes some time to master all different options and features, but otherwise it is a great tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can work simultaneously with another person without a problem. We could easily connect through automations to other programs we use (Typeform, Mailchimp).
A Scaleable Course Management Solution
What do you like best about the product?
The best aspects of this software are its ability to manipulate plan data into visually compelling and easily decipherable presentations to stakeholders. In addition, the database like nature of the software really helps me to connect all the differing sources of information to easily trace historical records.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that there were customizable cell types that would track the completion of tasks represented. Yes, there is checkbox feature. However, when tracking project tasks using Airtable, not all tasks are the same for any given project. Having a customizable field type that could allow for the insertion of customizable task lists would be useful. Essentially a checklist.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, I'm using the software to manage the migration, course design, and revision process of online courses. This is proving to be a useful tool for simplifying this complex task.
Lots of flexibility for team collaboration and project tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Our team is fairly new to Airtable, but so far we have been utilizing the forms integration as an easy way to easily funnel information into different tables and views. We really like the different view options as we all have different ways in which we like to visualize data, so this offers something for everyone.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've run into some limitations with things like the Charts Block, where we can't quite visualize the data in a format that we're 100% happy with. Although we've been using forms quite a bit, it is still a very basic form that doesn't allow for things like skip logic, and the single or multi-select answer choices will cut off after a certain text length, meaning the person filling out the form can't read the entire option. This has been a point of some frustration for us, but we've been able to find ways to work around those issues. It would be fantastic to see a more robust forms option in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have streamlined the input of information by using forms, which has really helped us access data in a more simple and dynamic way than just exporting a Qualtrics survey into Excel, for instance. We're able to collaborate better as a team, and we are continuing to find new ways that Airtable could help us simplify processes in the future.
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.
Great database
What do you like best about the product?
The database function is perfect for what we need as a small business. Also, the ability to plan social media and assign to coworkers is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently have no complaints, its easy to use and very functional.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database was our main aim for signing up with Airtable, but in discovering other uses, we are now using it for social media tracking and finance.
User friendly, simple to learn, custom fit to your needs
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to design what you need. Simple to set up and easy to change what needs to be adjusted.
What do you dislike about the product?
No phone customer service. I had accidentally deleted my main base and was not able to call someone to get it back immediately. I was able to rebuild since I had just started using it. Email communication is pretty quick though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing medical records. Able to take all of our hard copy forms and have a central location for them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easier client backup if base was to be deleted
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.
Airtable's quick and simple deployment was a lifesaver
What do you like best about the product?
1) Very rapid deployment; 2) Powerful alternative to Google Sheets; 3) Incredibly easy to use. Airtable is a huge step-up from the single dimension of Google Sheets. It saved our volunteer-run non-profit serving many low-income youth from imploding during a very busy time.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are still learning Airtable's, so some of these may simply be items we haven't yet discovered. 1) For our needs, a mail-merge integration (such as YAMM on Google Sheets) would be very useful (we'd like to not use GS altogether); 2) Need to format colors, fonts, etc. on a per-cell, per column, or per-row basis; 3) Would love to set and limit the options on Single Select from items on a separate table.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1) Facilitating team collaboration; 2) Works very well with other cloud-based apps using Zapier; 3) Been using primarily as a database, but project management and other features will come in very handy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can use Google Sheets, Airtable is a snap.
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.
