Excellent collaborative database tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy to use Airtable is and how beautiful the end result is. Gallery views are fantastic and I use them to share information with my students all the time. Form submissions to add information has been transformative to my tracking of student projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't dislike anything. I do wish you could use the gallery view on the iphone app, but I know they're working on that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to track progress on projects and to manage tasks with large teams. For example, I have all the students submit their paper topic via a form and then it's immediately visible to them in a saved gallery view so they can see what all the claimed topics are and see who might be a logical research partner. This way they also don't all try to work on the same topic as they can immediately see each others' topics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out and see if it works for your needs. The free version was enough for our purposes for nearly a year.

Easy, intuitive and functional
What do you like best about the product?
All the ease of use of an excel sheet and all the functionality of Access database with added tools to work online and to create nice and beautiful reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price could be high for little companies or foundations that need to buy the license for several users. It could be nice to have a downloadable version to work offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to manage everything: projects, tasks, databases... It is really easy and usefull to improve the productivity, and to encourage and facilitate the team work.

Try it and you will decide for it
A Growing Platform for a Growing Program
What do you like best about the product?
I coordinate a growing film program, and I like the ability to have large amounts of data at my fingertips. It's very easy to setup databases and link the data across datasets. I appreciate the design aesthetic. It feels very modern and fun but not cutesy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the iOS apps to be a little more robust. You can do basic data entry on them, but you can't create all the views available in the web app. Having access to data offline in the iOS app seems to be a key missing feature. I'd like to see more customization in forms and views.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a growing educational film program, we need to coordinate both students and equipment in a way that maximizes resources. Airtable allows us to visualize a lot of data very quickly. We are able to get large amounts of data directly from the student and streamline a lot of our old paper processes.
Still learning the ropes, but easy to build out what you need
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the platform is there because the range of fields is fairly thorough without being unwieldy. And this includes the ability to link to other tables (making this a true database and not just a workbook).
What do you dislike about the product?
This seems like the sort of platform where because we can set it up without guidance, the first couple of bases we set up will not be so great as we'll make mistakes in set up. But we're prepared to grow and adapt as we go. The high volume of bases allowed means we can just create a new one when we figure things out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using it for a multi-channel editorial calendar. It's easier to work with than the Google spreadsheet we were using in the past.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time and check out their extensive video library of instructionals. Also, check out the example bases that they offer. There's more there for you to see all the possible ways of setting up the tool for a wide range of management scenarios where you would otherwise be trapped in spreadsheet land.
Amazing Software
What do you like best about the product?
I've been searching for a visually appealing, easy to use, easily accessible database for so many years that I gave up and created my own filemaker database on a personal server. Stumbling upon this app has completely changed that. Airtable is perfect for my needs; easy to use, adaptable but super powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The IOS app is currently a little limited but I'm hoping this will be addressed in the near future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has essentially replaced several pieces of software for me. It acts as my CRM, my Inventory tracker, my project planner and my schedule planner. What I love is that I can now tie all this info together and using things like Zapier, can automate a lot of my processes.
Easy and quick
What do you like best about the product?
It's fantastic how quick it is to build a powerful database. It's also impressive how many new features have been implemented since I started using Airtable. Plus the Mac OS and iOS applications work really well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike, I think I would like more views for the database but that is mostly an aesthetic issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Airtable for project management in a team. Before we did not had a centralised platform where all the collaborators could view and edit projects and now we do. It's been much quicker and easy to share information between all the collaborators.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend to use the mobile and desktop applications.
Love this app! - so many uses and so easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
It is very intuitive, and is incredibly useful to us for project management, project request information gathering and tracking, and hiring processes. We are loving the ability to easily configure the tables, store attachments, share information, and schedule events that will interface with our office calendars. It is easy to promote adoption of this application because it is so easy-to-use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great to have better ability to customize entry forms. Allowing form designers to customize the layout of these forms would help make the form entry easier, and more compelling, to complete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project Management, Job Applicant tracking, Request management
Great alternative to Excel or GoogleSheets!
What do you like best about the product?
This program works exceptionally well as an easy "step-up" from having used Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets (or any other spreadsheet program for that matter). It isn't complicated like a lot of CRM programs are, but it can do everything (and more) that the CRM can.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning how to use the expanded features can be pretty time consuming. They have videos that explain how to use each and every aspect, but that can be slightly time consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to add my co-workers to any specific database with any permission level I deem necessary. The information is updated in real time and can be worked on simultaneously with another person without glitches that I've noticed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time to watch as many of the tutorial videos as possible. They are worth the time, and if that time is invested, Airtable is a breeze and a joy to utilize!
Wonderful experience switching many community street festival's information systems over to Airtable
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Airtable is a beautifully designed tool that lets me implement my own collaborative, domain specific, streamline solutions to a variety of projects. For me, as a database professional, Airtable has proven to be incredibly empowering as I design workflows and mini-apps for the data intensive projects I get involved in. The idea of a intuitive, collaborative and online, and elegant relational database system hits the sweet spot for so many projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really comes to mind other they could work on their pricing structure so they are appropriate options for all scenarios
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a collaborative, database backed, information system, with online forms for our community street festivals to replace our unruly Google Doc system that we had built up over the years. It landed beautifully and our festival organizers and volunteers love it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it for a small project that requires a database first to see the power
Excellent cooperation and database tool for our NGO
What do you like best about the product?
Availability as web app, for PC, Mac, Android an iOS. Easy to use and understand - no training required! Absolutely 100% reliable - once you add data, Airtable will not lose it. Crowd contribution and sharing is excellent!
What do you dislike about the product?
Handling of dates in european format could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With more and more data accumulating over the years, spreadsheets were becoming increasingly insufficient for us. We knew we needed a database that was easy to handle, required minimum to no training for users and available on PC, Mac und mobile devices. Airtable did all that and more for us.
