Airtable is an amazing thinking and planning tool
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is so easy. I've never liked Excel, so building a database is something I generally avoid. Airtable changes everything for me in that regard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. I've only been using it for a month, and it exceeds anything I'd imagine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to build databases. Embarrassed to admit, but I never had an organized CRM database. Now I do. Also, great content management planner. AND, novel planning.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Super planning tool with features you don't know you need, but you do.

Easy to Use Productivity Tool
What do you like best about the product?
As an Excel hater, Airtable has been wonderful for me. Easier to use for simple tasks. I do not require overly complex formulas and spreadsheets in my job so Airtable is a great alternative to the robust features of Excel. I found Airtable very easy to use. They have a wealth of help materials including many videos. They also have so many example "bases" for basically any kind of project you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to sort by date could be better managed. Other than that there hasn't been anything I really dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using Excel for my content calendar and wanted to find something that no only was easier to use but looked better visually. Airtable has been fantastic. I'm currently using the free version and it meets my needs. I like the ability to share with my colleagues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to watch the video tutorials. They helped me get started much quicker.
Great customizable database
What do you like best about the product?
The infinite ways you can setup a database, the image capture and drop down menus. I like that it's available when I need it, in the cloud and I can edit from any device.
What do you dislike about the product?
The display options aren't great. It's hard to export into a different web product. I wish it integrated more tightly into different web platforms like Squarespace, but perhaps I haven't played with it enough to really tell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I setup a database for our internal use that tracks products from competitors. It's been a process getting it setup, but the result is a searchable archive of past competitive products. Now, when we go to our clients and they ask about competitors' products, we can point them to the database to give them a complete overview of what, when and how our competitors are putting out different products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a great online database product that can scale to meet almost any project, I highly recommend AirTable.
Easy to use, easy to adopt
What do you like best about the product?
One of the hardest things I have with my workgroups is getting people to learn to use new tools. The interface and functionality of Airtable is sophisticated enough for my needs to work on projects, but the ux is intuitive and not challenging so that I have actually been able to get other colleagues to give it a try.
Being able to extract my data in a fairly easy manner, that is a huge plus. I don't like using a service and then not being able to get the data I've provided back out.

What do you dislike about the product?
This isn't a dislike for me - the UX is not intimidating, and I've had some people be concerned that the product isn't robust enough for our needs. As an experienced project manager, it is, but staff meeting grievances don't need to be aired here.
Gantt charts. Ok. Gantt charts would be nice.
Gantt charts. Ok. Gantt charts would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are starting a new project and I'm trying to adopt Airtable as one of our primary project management tools, and I'm trying to bring it on from the very beginning. So far I've had positive responses from the Luddites in my workgroup, which I attribute to the lack of intimidating interface.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The templates are a great feature and have helped with making the adoption by some of the more recalcitrant colleagues a little smoother.
Finally unlimited custom fields
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is the only truly dynamically customizable project management tool and its got so much capacity to push info and then sort to your heart's content.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really understand the 1200 record limit per base. it's not the worst thing by any means, but it seems kind of arbitrary. Also I'd LOVE it to have a more robust google calendar integration, but it doesn't without some zapier integrations which are never as good as something native.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My biggest complain about other PM software is having so few custom fields. Rarely in 8 years of managing projects has a software predicted all the fields and types i'd actually need, let alone make them available right from go in a free version. Airtable has made dynamic grouping and project assessment and tracking possible in ways quite literally no other option in the market has.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No matter what other software you're used to using, try out Airtable. the 10 minute video will show you everything needed to be a great user.
Amazing spreadsheet experience
What do you like best about the product?
I love all the functionality of Airtable. You can literally do anything - make all kinds of checklists, use databases in an interactive way with teams, organize your database in different ways. It's such a cool app.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far our team hasn't found anything they dislike about Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping everyone's tasks in order, managing my own tasks in a clear way, showing clear progress of tasks, visually changing the way we are looking at our databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's like an excel sheet on steroids and it is amazing! You can organize your databases and spreadsheets in so many different ways and include the whole team. It's awesome!
Best Data Management System
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable is best for team collaboration and getting projects done. It's pretty much an all-in-one platform for tasks and project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a steep learning curve for new users. We've had a few team members feel like it is too difficult to learn. But it's worth it! Although there is not much so far to dislike, I personally wish their layout, font, and look can be a bit more customizable. But that's a lot to ask from such a great company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do a lot of team work, and AirTable lets our boss organize and assign certain tasks to individuals on our team. It's also great because you can get instant email notifications when something is assigned.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I totally recommend Airtable for any company, large or small. It's a great company with a great vision. The learning curve may be a bit steep for some users, but it's worth it.
Amazing organizer!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the layout, the colors, and the font. But my favorite thing is how versatile Airtable is. You can literally organize everything from work projects to travel plans. And it's all done in an aesthetically pleasing way.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was a little confusing at first, as is anything new. It takes some time to understand, but once you do, it's awesome!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps keeps us organized. It helps everyone access information they need in a timely fashion. We have benefited by saving time and of course, with saving time comes saving money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that you don't give up too soon on Airtable. Get used to the format and play around with the settings.
Fantastic tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Airtable is extremely powerful and versatile, meaning it can be used in a wide variety of ways. Along with extensive functionality, the company is constantly innovating and releasing new features all the time. It's very simple and convenient, much more so than any other tool with similar intentions. The examples and templates are extremely helpful, it's great for collaboration, and it can handle just about any time of data/inputs. All-around very powerful, like spreadsheets on steroids.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike. It handles everything I can think of and more, considering there are a lot of current features that I am not yet taking advantage of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration with colleagues
Project management
Asset/resource sharing
Client/customer information

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. It might take a couple days to really understand it's capabilities but well worth working through it.
positive results for an already integrated team
What do you like best about the product?
AirTable has been helpful for us to gain more cohesion on different projects and clients that we are working with. We value that documents in our drive are linkable and this is certainly a generative function for our teams big picture.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if it were a bit more user friendly in the areas of customization. As an intuitive user I find it be just fine and that is not the case for all of my team members or all of my teams. It would also be great if it were more linked to other apps for plugins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving for communication shortfalls for a large complex team with mobile offices. We are invested in being able to stay integrated but independent and the connectivity or bird eye-view quality of AirTable is helpful to us in that regard. I can see what other folks are doing and they can pke into my progress on something as well. Its also great that we can all be working at the same time on the build out and manage our own internals while cooperatively supporting something else.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just be sure that you are flexible across different systems with your team - the cohesion that I desire is not part of how I have known it to be and overall its a great resource.
