Chose Airtable
Asana did not have the templates that we needed and Microsoft Project is not cloud-based, which limited its usability. Airtable met our needs in both those categories. Additionally, we love Airtable's visual approach.
I enjoy using Asana for task lists, but I don't love the mobile app and I didn't get the most out of it since my projects are usually not collaborative. Smartsheet has a good gantt chart tool, but the UI is terrible and it isn't as dynamic as I'd have liked. Airtable combines …

Chose Airtable
We do use Social Studio and Sharepoint for other tasks, but for project planning across a wide variety of deliverables, there wasn't enough flexibility all the time. Asana was harder to use and get into and didn't provide an easy way to adjust views/sorts.
Airtable vs. Asana: Asana is for task management; Airtable is for data management. The difference between the two is important. Asana is NOT for long-term data storage. It does have more integrations with other apps, but if you're looking for a pure database, Airtable is the …
There's a load of free functionality available with Airtable, so it's less expensive. It's also way more intuitive and user-friendly compared to Insightly. As for Asana, I don't need that level of team collaboration at the moment, but I like that I can share whatever I create …
Airtable has a nice mix of all of the heat features found in both Trello and Asana. I find Airtable to be a bit more attractive than Asana. Although that's mostly cosmetic, I find that visual appeal is imperative to use experience and increased productivity.
As a whole, we elected to fully implement Airtable because of the vast amount of features and access controls for each user. Also, each user can create their own base and tie each one to the main Airtable base so teams can take an even deeper look into each project (with …
Asana can somewhat be used for this purpose as you can track clients by making each of these subtasks. However, you will not be able to compile all of these on one sheet like in Airtable. With the latter, we can download this as a CSV file and analyze it in Excel or put it in …
Airtable beats these programs hands down!!! The two programs mentioned do not have the user-friendly interfaces available with Airtable. The learning curve is steeper with other programs. The graphics in Airtable are much crisper and relevant.
Airtable stack up against major market competitor tools as it provides a unique way of representing data in the form of spreadsheets, which is very easy to understand, and anyone can efficiently work on it. Also, its hybrid cloud provides enough data security. The unique …
Airtable was the preference of choice of the client we were working with so there wasn't much we could. However, internally we still utilized other options as Airtable was very cumbersome to use and took a while to find what you were looking for. The interface wasn't very easy …
Wrike is a very good platform for project management, however, it focuses more on marketing work which is not negligible, but for us it has worked better to manage with Airtable because it is made to manage projects using the primary information of the company that is none …
When using SQL database, there was no simple way to create tables and fields. It took time and a dedicated database administrator to take care of the database and updates.
For Airtable, you can easily create tables and fields. Tables can be deployed within minutes. Data can be …
Airtable is much more user friendly than Smartsheet in my opinion. Though Smartsheet has a lot of functionality as well, it comes off as cold and technical. Airtable is fun to use, and kind of addicting to be completely honest. I've also tried Sheets instead of Airtable, but …
I am very familiar with FileMaker Pro. I grew up on FMP. But unless you "grew up" with FMP, the learning curve for newbies is really steep. Also, we are a very small, start-up nonprofit and Airtable not only fits our immediate needs but it also will allow us to grow into the …
We need more light tools right now for PM, so big products aren't a fit. We looked at other smaller products/players but none have nearly the features and ease of use as Airtable. Airtable has more flexibility in its views (Kanban plus Grid, Calendar view, named custom views, …
It wasn't until I became aware of Airtable that we found a solution that allows us to implement the best features of a collaborative RDBMS with our staff who don't have any training. I had previously used Zoho Creator and found that it was difficult to onboard new users because …
I don't think there is a comparable product. Nothing I have seen is as intuitive to use and at the same time has such broad-reaching potential. I feel confident to onboard who have never seen Airtable only because it is so easy to use. At the same time, I feel we could spend …
Excel is only good for numbers, not words or relational database. Access is too complicated for a total novice to build databases from scratch. Task trackers and project planners like Asana have limited functionality.
SAIC is a gSuite campus and Airtable is a very good companion to the gSuite. The Airtable gDrive integration is quite good and Airtable solves problems that gSuite simply does not solve.
Though it does not replace them, Airtable also plays well with our Project Management …
We “beta” tested several softwares across our company. Asana was a great fit for our small corporate team. But when we rolled it out company wide, it didn’t stick. We eventually ended up using Airtable - which has worked out well for us.
Asana is amazing for a remote team, that we are currently as its accessible seamlessly to all our team member no matter where they are in the world. Its very easy to onboard new members to this platform as its very intuitive and easy for new people to get a hang of it. It has …
A few of our other teams at the office use these other programs and they work great for them! However, as a team that is trying to integrate two parallel services, it's incredibly important for us to have visibility into what the others are doing at a high level. This helps …
Asana has a task list, Trello doesn't. Asana has different views, Trello only has one. The Asana mobile app is amazingly easy to use. Trello can be confusing for some people. Trello is free for unlimited users, Asana requires payment for more users and integrations. Trello also …
Asana has a due time feature. While Trello, for example, is cheaper and looks much more simple, it does not have the time aspect. People work better when given deadlines and if you want to track your progress from the main deadline, for example, you will need timestamps to do …
There were a combination of factors that led us to decide on Asana, including ease of use and external system integrations, but primarily we could use it across geographically distributed offices successfully and incorporate a variety of end user work flows based on global …
