Airtable Reviews & Product Details

It was very intuitive how to set up my database. I love that I could share it with others.

I would've loved to have been able to make a master database that others couldn't pull information into their own databases from.

Her table was a great way for me to manage teaching ESL. I have also used it personally for tracking media.

Customization and templates - since almost anything is built with a simple grid spreadsheet, the power of airtable is endless to create the tool you need.

None. Or, I suppose that I can't enter text freely the way I can in Excel - you can't enter a random note inside an integer-only field.

I use airtable as a CRM that helps with grant reporting on the dozens of events and activities we manage. The personal views and ability to group and sort based on the data I'm looking for at any given moment is one of the highlights.

Airtable gives me a one-stop shop to organize and aggregate findings from my win/loss interviews. I can upload transcripts and recordings into the tool I created and easily share with clients via a unique URL.

I wish I could rename the URL, like 'FY 2022 Win/Loss Results" that would be easier for clients to remember.

Airtable gives me a centralized place to report data and share results with my clients at no additional charge to them. Most win/loss providers charge users a fee to look at their own data.

It improved the way we organized the sales process in our company. Having the tool itself, made it more sophisticated.

It is very easy to use and has all the relevant funcionalities needed.

We want to have more sales and keep track of the work of the sales reps

That I'm able to have the app and add things on the go. Also that it can be used for many different things.

It's sometime hard to understand how to use form features like the interface

Keeping track of information specific to our marketing and outreach. Being able to track easily who edited something and when something was added.

Air Table is versatile, it allows us to manage everything: strategic planning, marketing plan, social media, list of suppliers, schedules... everything!

It is necessary to change the paradigm and understand the logic behind the tool, which may take some time.

All in one place, which makes follow-up on everything so much easier. My whole team uses it and clients are onboard too because it is collaborative.

Automations, integration, team collaboration

No dislikes at the moment. We like all the features.

Collecting and working on big data.

Airtable is so flexible and has many amazing features. They are also often improving the platform and do seem to have an ear out for their customers' wants and needs. I love how easy it makes collaborationg and sharing data on various levels with different views of the same data set. It makes creating and maintaining databases easy. It's also helpful that they include native automations that help optimize processes, especially around maintenance. And their new interface feature is awesome (though it can use some continued improvements) as it makes it eas to share visualization of the data and improves user experience.

As with any tools and softwares, there are some gaps here and there. I think for my team, their billing and the confusion around how users shift in tiers has been the #1 pain point but the team has always been kind and helpful from the beginning (even when we only had two paid accounts). As for general functionality, we wish there were a way to let people submit changes to their own data without requiring a paid account or workaround. Would love to see a portal type function without having to add a third party tool but really this is just a bonus. I also get a little frustrated with how record IDs function in automations. For some things, you can't access the record's ID if it's not a field in the actual base. The search record tool in automations is not often as helpful as it could be. Usually, I'd like to use the found record in an action but because it acts as a list of multiple records it doesn't always work out, so I have had to use workarounds.

Airtable helps us on so many different levels! It helps us create and maintain databases of people and data that we can share internally and easily have a public view embedded into our website or resources for our external audiences to access. It easily gives us control over who can see what information. It gives us the power to create out own databases without having to outsource for something more complicated when not really necessary. I also feel like it's much easier for me to sort and draw connections between data with Airtable, even for simpler items like expense tracking.

We are a virtual art gallery, and we are able to use Airtable to keep all of the artwork that comes into our gallery in one place. We use forms to allow artists to upload their artwork straight to the database, and I can give guest jurors access to choose the art for shows. I can then use the databases when I'm uploading the artwork to our website and our 3-D gallery, clicking check boxes for each step. It really keeps things seamless and organized!

We have had some issues with forms that give artists error messages when they hit "submit," even though the information has made it into the database. I would love for the form process to be a bit less buggy, and if people could somehow save their responses to come back to later, that would be fantastic, as well.

The art world is full of disorganized people, and Airtable keeps us organized! We are able to allow artists to upload their artwork straight to the database without having to input it ourselves, and we have been pleased with how easy it is for our jurors to come in and organize the art using the KanBan view into "Yes" "No" and "Maybe", especially since most of our jurors have never even heard of Airtable before we bring them in!

I can create different views that suit my needs and have automation that helps keep me on track as I work through my fundraising pipeline. I can assemble data and flows that work for what I need and even color-code my different tables. I like that data can be easily shared, imported and exported, and I can even create polls/forms that keep the data right in my sheets.

I had a really hard time figuring out some of the formulas to get my data to show up correctly, and sometimes auto save prevents me from tracking my changes the way I want. I wish the help section was a little more user-friendly.

I can monitor individual and corporate donations and collect data that is very important to our organization's ability to build and maintain personal relationships with our donors. I can easily save the info that is pertinent to me and remove the data we don't use.

Airtable's user interface is pleasant to the eye, intuitive, and easy to use. The option to create views by category works really well

I don't like the limit on the free plan.

Airtable makes our spreadsheets much more presentable to clients

I'm able to create an intake form and also a table with fields where I can add information to. Unlike Google docs which will only add the information from the form.

Editing field help text was a bit confusing when first starting with a template in Airtable.

Gathering my podcast guest information in one place, adding my notes and having my team easily access the information.

Templates. I'm not that talented in creating spreadsheets from scratch, but I've always been able to find a template that meets my needs.

Not being able to choose/change the primary field.

Organization

It's really to understand it once you start playing with it. Related tables are a great plus

The lack of integrations directly on airtable. That you can't save pdf directly on your row when using extensions unless you first download it

Keeping my business under control: sales, inventory, expenses, tasks

I love the ability to all share the same data, but be able to pull aside and create my own views to see what matters to me. Also, all the integrations make it easier to cut out repetitive steps that you might need to do.

There are little features that could make things MUCH better, once you really get into it. I trust Airtable knows and is working on those. But in the meantime it can add a little more work. I want the ability to make the page designer pages into PDFs and then upload them to the same record that they were generated from.

It's solving the problem of where do I put all the docs and info I need to run a small CPG startup. I don't miss a beat. What do you need? It's in Airtable!! We have an audit for our organic certification? All the audit paperwork and totals are in AIRTABLE! It's seriously stellar.

I love the clean interface, the well thought-out templates, and collaboration tools built-in. Everything is thought of and I just need to take advantage of it.

Probably just that I don't use all of the features.

AirTable solves organization for me, as well as having others contribute to tables as I see fit.I'm much more productive than with using other software I've tried for these tasks.

It's very customable. And it's also very friendly to use. It's a complete tool that I use for my 3 businesses. And when I show this to my paid clients, they are really impressed when they see how I manged all my tasks in my Airtable.

The paid formula is not so very clear for some people. After they take time to see the possibilities it becomes clear for them. Maybe a good marketing around the pricing aspect can help you with more clients.

for me Airtabel is a Content Calendar but also a complete business management platform. So it helps me on the overall business aspect. For my Dealer Bicycles I can manage even my stock with my clients.

Automation, clarity of use, easiness, transparency

Limited number of lines in the free offer

Everything related to accountability up to our core business around mentoring

Endlessly flexible and extensible but structured enough to ensure we're only creating useful and essential data.

When you use it as extensively as we do, it's easy find small but important ways the product could be improved. These are almost always addressed with updates by the team, just not always in the order we would like.

Airtable is the central hub for all of our information. Every project we do begins and ends with Airtable, allowing us to track every facet of our work. And it does this in a way which is intuitive and natural for every kind of team member, regardless of their experience.
