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!

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 initial stages, but we have all managed to collaboratively populate our base while working remotely.
Great for Editorial Calendaring
What do you like best about the product?
The different views you can set up for various purposes is so incredibly helpful. And it's great for asset-sharing, so everything is in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to add relevant dates to the calendar without creating entries for them, but that's not such a big deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Airtable to plan and schedule our editorial content, including social media. Having everything in one place is making our team more efficient.
Amazing team collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Organization of the data, the software is easy to use, has more visual features than excel, we can share the spreadsheets with the public without giving them the rights to edit (just like Google sheets but Airtable has more cool features making the data look better)
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as of yet! ....................................................
