Airtable vs Resource Guru

• Ability to link across tables, allowing information from one "sheet" to always be viewed in context with other relevant information
• Ability to customize columns to have many different functions (single/multi select dropdowns, numbers, email address, attachments, of course long and short text, and more)
• Ability to change and save "views" of the same table so that different team members can easily access different configurations of the same information depending on the task at hand; plus the ability to create shareable views for an external audience where our team can control what's visible

• Task tracking: allows user to input tasks which may be marked off as finished by other members of the team.
• Time tracking: allows users to log the amount of time spent on particular tasks.
• Cross team management: allows users from different locations and time zones to view the same page and relevant tasks.

• Building blocks. I have just started to use these but I feel they could be more integrated with the view of a table once they are selected.
• Searching across bases. I don't believe this is possible but I've just started to experiment with the 'search' building block.
• Sharing views. There are limitations to the views that are shared. For example, it doesn't look like you can access records that are linked to the records in the shared view.
• Customer service/personal account management. I have had spotty customer service, sometimes having to email multiple times to receive an answer. I also find it somewhat difficult to access information about my account. When I select the upper right hand profile icon, I think it would be more intuitive to see information about upgrades, remove/add collaborators, and my messages with Airtable staff (since they will pop up when current but after that I actually have no idea where to access them once more).

• It isn't quite as user-friendly as I would like. Once you are accustomed to it, it is very useful, but the initial use could be facilitated.
• One user-friendly calendar interface that displays tasks and deadlines would be nice.
• A real-time time logging button would be nice, rather than entering hours retroactively.

• We haven't been using it very long, but already it's going to save us about three hours a week on metrics calculations and database upkeep. In addition, it's going to help us clean our data and make it more usable, which will take less time and also help us have a higher impact.

• It has made our cross functional team much more productive and efficient.
• The only negative feature is the slightly complicated user interface. Before a manager was fully introduced to the product, it was not utilized as much as should be.
• It allowed all details of timelines to be updated easily (automatically), if the deadline is pushed forward or back.
