I use Airtable for many things, especially as an easy, fast way to create databases for nextjs apps
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very user-friendly, and the developer tools are excellent. It's easy to set up, integrate, and run. I also use it frequently to write custom queries and functions for calculations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I used to use it in some ways as a CDN as well. I don't like how they changed the image attachments and removed the ability to use the URLs for them. It's a downside, but I understand the reason behind it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's an easy-to-use database that anyone can access, not just developers.
Overall Pleased
What do you like best about the product?
It's consistent and stable. Always adding and updating features. Provide a discount for non-profits. The feature set for the cost is definitely fair. They respond fairly quickly to both technical and billing issues. Overall there is an ease of use that I appreciate. I use Airtable all the time. Our entire ministry's data is driven with Airtable. The connectivity to other sites and services is exceptional and it seems they're always expanding
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to teach to others at times. My biggest frustration is trying to implement Forms, Interfaces, and Automations that I ultimately cannot get to work properly. The community can be helpful, but there consistently seem to be gaps in these elements that I find out from the community that I just have to accept. Since I can't afford to hire a consultant, this can be frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use Airtable to manage a subscription database for our mailing. It does everything, from handling the raw data, to printing envelopes. I also manage donors and donations and other extra-curriculur events and things that pop-up.
Easy to use and very useful!
What do you like best about the product?
It makes our work so streamlined and it's very simple to use. We use it every day for so many databases, and I'm constantly discovering new features.We've also been able to integrate it into other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to get less technologically-inclined people to use it as it appears quite complicated at first glance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us to integrate many different systems into one, and have one centralized platform for most of our important data.
Using AirTable for Production Tracking and Meetings
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is very powerful and very flexible. I love being able to sync with other team's airtable bases. I love creating intricate Interfaces and using extensions to create charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using automations in Airtable is very powerful but requires a bit more of a learning curve. It is much more trial and error and then reaching out to support for help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was looking for a solution to both track projects and all components of each project as well as show key data in a dashboard (or interface) for meetings. I am able to use the interface I created to hold a record of all meeting notes tied to that specific project.
Powerful and capable, but simple and scalable
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is very aproachable and user-friendly, but can handle very complex data-flows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite interfaces being marketed quite heavily, they still aren't as powerful or scalable as Airtable makes them out to be. They're still a little niche.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is helping my organization to solve fixed asset management. Not having to fight with a system just to do data entry is a huge plus, and Airtable makes not losing that information extremely straightforward.
I didn't want to have to build my own database tool - but if you have to, Airtable is the way to go!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is flexible, easy to use, but also extensible. I liked that I can spin up fields/tables/records/etc quickly and create relationships on the fly - and also that I can create automations trivially. We now use it daily for my entire team to track our work - it's pretty great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The branding isn't great - the design can be challenging for "non-tech" people, and I don't like that the billing isn't always super transparent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to track long term project/task management, while at the same time connecting that to asset/resource management. I wanted an off-the-shelf solution designed for environmental engineering, but that didn't exist, so I stood up an Airtable instance in a weekend. Now, we know who has done what, where, and with what equipment - basic information, but also surprisingly tricky to identify.
Excel on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way I am able to manage my workflow in AirTable - it makes it possible to track the progress of our volunteers through our onboarding process, and then to schedule them for their shifts. It allows me to visualize our resources, streamline common tasks, and automate repetitive tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not always know where the various layers of my connect. In addition, it can be tricky to get the help I need when I have to explain the whole base to yet another "ask the expert."
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps me to track volunteers through our onboarding process, communicate with them about next steps, and ultimately onboard or decline them. It also allows volunteers to sign up for a rotation at one of our facilities, recognizing repeat volunteers and creating records for new volunteers. It shows me when I have volunteers, and whether or not the number of volunteers I have meets our goals.
Airtable is great, flexible solution
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable can be configured in any way and requires very little technical knowledge. We have built out a full CRM for a fraction of the price of other CRMs in our industry, and have layered other functionality on top.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limits on automations are annoying and do not make us pay for upgrades but rather make us use Zapier for additional automations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable allows us to create action trees for different phases of our projects in a totally customized way.
Taking databases and spreadsheets to the next level!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Airtable is how flexible and customizable it is. It’s become a key tool for organizing different areas of our business and media operations, especially when it comes to keeping our broadcasting schedule on track. We use it a lot, and it’s been great at helping us stay organized without feeling overwhelming. I also really enjoy the Airtable Interfaces—they give our team a helpful "bird's eye view" of the most important information, keeping us focused on our goals and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I find tricky about Airtable is that it has a bit of a learning curve. You really need a basic understanding of spreadsheets or databases to make the most of it, which can be a challenge for some team members. It also requires a lot of attention to detail, and that can be tough to manage when working with a group. Setting up Airtable Interfaces isn’t as straightforward as I’d hoped, and the flow between the regular UI and the interface pages could be smoother—but I’ve noticed things are slowly improving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has made it so much easier to keep our team organized. We use it to manage our broadcasting schedule, keep track of employee and volunteer info, and handle some basic accounting and logistics for purchases. It’s really helped us stay on top of things and work more smoothly as a team, knowing everything we need is all in one place.
Airtable is intuitive and versatile, and has changed how my company manages projects.
What do you like best about the product?
We have been able to implement Airtable across multiple departments because of its ease of use and all the different options/functions it offers. I, personally, use it every day for almost every task I perform. I've been able to use it for various functions including project workflow management and account keeping. I can find information quickly using the sorting features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I frequently miss more in-depth text manipulation in specifically the long text type fields. The tiers in the subscription system also don't always make sense, with some features being locked that I feel shouldn't be locked. The customer support was just okay. I hate all the AI integration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps my department keep track of our accounts and our projects for those accounts. Previously, we used large Excel sheets that weren't collaborative or accessible. With Airtable, we can search these records quickly and create dynamic views to access information smoothly. The fact that the Airtable can be edited and those edits are viewable across all platforms keeps communication between team members and whole departments smooth. My department uses the Airtable individually to keep track of their projects, and I can see the status of all of them at a glance, which allows me to gather information for reports faster than going from person to person like I used to.
