I dislike that sometimes it takes a while to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing me to travel and still have access to all my work materials.
Airtable Made Me Question My Life Choices.. in a good way.
What do you like best about the product?
I got so excited about Airtable when I first started using it that it made me question my values. I almost felt silly that spreadsheets could get me so engaged that it made me wonder if I needed to switch career paths to something more database-centric.
The GUI is everything. Airtable manages to make previously boring, tedious data more compelling & interesting to look at.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is that it's not an industry standard. I want everyone to use this so it makes collaborating that much easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps me use spreadsheets, period! I love a good spreadsheet but without functionality PLUS form, they don't hold my attention long enough for me to keep coming back.. Airtable solves for this elegantly.
Amazing and Flexible Platform
What do you like best about the product?
We use Airtable as a quick and easy way to store and manipulate ad-hoc data sets. I also use Airtable personally to track my book, music, and other physical media collections. Setting up an interface for inputting and viewing my data is easy. Extremely customizable and intuitive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I have with the platform is the difficulty of backing up the attachments I have embedded in my database. This can easily be offset by creating backups of my data on a regular basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable augments other database platforms we use. The flexibility and ease of use of Airtable make the management and analysis of ad-hoc data simple. Provisioning new databases is a snap.
Airtable is infinitely adaptable and easy to use with teams.
What do you like best about the product?
I can just start, either from a template or from a basic beginning. I use Airtable for a variety of data from storing research logs, or submission data. As an artist I really appreciate that it's a visually pleasant environment. I've also found collaborators are willing to try and stick with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get complicated in terms of managing dates and time zones, especially if everyone is not on the same time zone or even if you travel and enter data about the first time zone while on the road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It stores files, including images at high quality and is very helpful for archiving a vast amount of digital assets. I also use it to manage works flows and financial data.
An Excellent Data Management System!
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to see your data in multiple ways - different views, filters, sorts, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the forms could use a little love. They work well, but require a lot of setup - conditional formatting, automations, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data management all in one place. Updating data once updates it across all spreadsheets (if it's synced). Less spreadsheets!
Excellent for small businesses!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease and potential for customization! As a small business, I need to track data and the large software companies and expensive. With Airtable I'm able to accomplish the same tasks and keep it within my budget. Highly recommend!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is so much that airtable is capable of doing that it can be overwhelming. I also have not invested the time to learn about the potential, though. Luckily I had a customer who referred me and was able to offer assistance. Though overall I haven't had much to dislike. I need to use it more and more to keep learning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is solving my issue of finished goods and lot number tracking. Now I konw exactly where my orders and coming in from and the exact lot numbers I've shipped out. It's helped my business record keeping immensly!
Phenomenal tool for organizing information
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to assign tags and filter my information easily. Having all of the different data types available means that I can easily customize each sheet to hold a variety of information, and then organize that information clearly. That's especially true of things like dates, where I can then switch views and create a Gantt chart or see my information as a calendar. There is so much flexibility!
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are going to be exporting your sheets into Excel (which is relatively easy to do) note that any box in which you have multiple tags will create text in one box in Excel (meaning that you can't then filter by those tags in the spreadsheet). You can get around that by using text to columns, but it's a bit clunky if you are hoping to export your data for making graphs. I'm also not sure about Airtable's privacy standards - I would have absolutely loved to keep all of my research data linked sheets, but I didn't know how to communicate the data safety to my ethics review board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to keep track of all of the papers I have read for my thesis; Airtable makes it very easy for me to keep track of what I've read, and organize that reading by assigning tags. Then, when I take notes on things like gaps in the research, I can find the notes that are most relevant to a certain subfield or area of study.
The versatility of Airtable has some for everyone!
What do you like best about the product?
With some personal ingenuity (or a template) we can create almost any data management system custom built to our business.
What do you dislike about the product?
For more advanced processes, you'll need to teach yourself through the discovery method. Or, a quick Google search to get the know-how from a forum post.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our custom needs for HR and Inventory needed something we could custom build. Airtable never disappointed!
Intuitive platform that's help me get organized
What do you like best about the product?
I find the templates to be super helpful in getting thoughts organized and systems in place. I've used it for everything from personal trip planning to content audits. The ability to customize every Airtable is very helpful and the way the information is displayed works perfectly for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside is trying to convince other people to switch over from Google sheets to Airtable. That's not because of anything inherently wrong with the platform but because we are so entrenched in the Google ecosystem that it's hard to make a change.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before I found Airtable, I hadn't found "my" system. The ease of creating new tables, sharing with other people, and finding solutions for all my list-making is an all-around benefit.
Great tool for filmmakers.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to switch between different graphic viewing modes, to move the units with images freely around the workspace, having tags and spaces for comments, controling sizes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take quite some time to learn to use this tool, because it has so many features and options. Perhaps it could become even more intuitive and therefore more userfriendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to develop the story for a documentary. It's flexible enough for this purpose and allows to store many copies of the script in a visual format with images.
