We were previously dealing with could-based shared spreadsheets to keep up with all of this, but spreadsheets are bulky, boring, and were not meeting our needs. We now use Airtable across our company. The UI is unmatched by any other software in this field and keeps each group, project, and each individual organized and running with maximum efficiency. Outside of the heavy-lifting calculations best left to spreadsheets, Airtable is beautiful and intuitively handles everything else we might need.,Multiple viewing options, including self (individual) view and then view by project (also called a Base).
Completely customized columns with the ability to easily create many different data types.
The templates are really, really good.,I would like to be able to sort items into groups without having to sort by specific columns. Just manually sort by click and drag.
I'd like to see all of the documents of each base stored collectively somewhere and cataloged in a document library.
I would like to see this base exportable as a Gant chart.,9,The ROI is simple: Airtable has created a more efficient workplace. We have fewer meetings, certainly. But any meetings we do have are much more efficient and impactful. Everyone walks in having used Airtable to prepare for the meeting (uploading needed docs, etc.), and the meeting is held using Airtable as the agenda. Airtable is updated and continues to be used after the meeting, so everyone stays on the same page.
Airtable also makes planning events much more streamlined. Contracts, rental agreements, rosters, etc. are uploaded. Dates are set with reminders. People know what they are responsible for planning the event and for what role they will play during the event.,Asana, monday and Trello,Adobe Acrobat DC, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator CCTyler CollumAirtable: A visual hybrid of a database and a spreadsheet2019-04-10T00:19:37.479ZAirtable is currently being used by our UX team. We use Airtable to store all of our UX research, studies, and insights. This helps us keep all of our research organized, and keep everything in one central repository that anyone can conveniently access. We would like to get other departments to also use our same Airtable repository to contribute their customer research.,Airtable has some very smart filters.
The blocks provide advance customization and features.
Airtable is very easy and simple to use.,Sometimes the onboarding tips can be a bit intrusive and annoying.
Often you only need the functionality already provided in a Google Spreadsheet.,10,Airtable has helped us organize our research, giving us more insights on what to build so we don't waste money building the wrong product.,UserTesting, InVision, Google DriveMitchell ClementsA fantastic product to consolidate data workflows across the business2019-03-02T20:57:26.618ZWe use Airtable ourselves to automate a ton of business processes and ensure that the entire company is on the same page. We also build products that work with Airtable to solve business processes, and we work with clients to set them up on Airtable right from the start.,Data structures.
The API is phenomenal.
The UX is fantastic.,The API needs push notifications.
Granular permissions would be nice.
The 50k row data limit should be higher.,9,Significant time savings by consolidating data in one place.,Zapier, Trello and Google Drive,Zapier, Salesforce App CloudDaniel PretoriusAirtable -- Project Management for Anyone and Everyone2019-02-12T16:14:16.531ZWe came across Airtable as we were trying out a bunch of different ways to implement a project management system. We used it in our department specifically. It helps us with the problem of being disorganized in managing a multitude of projects. Airtable has great aesthetics, and is definitely one of the more "hip" options out there.,Sleek and contemporary design
Versatile in its toolset
Helps in a wide range of industries

Being the sole communications professional for my entire company (as we've grown from 400 to 2500 in less than 2 years), it's easy to become overwhelmed or let an obligation slip. With Airtable, I can trust everything is saved and backed up without the worry of saving -- and I can access it from anywhere while in the field. I also appreciate its added functionality (beyond Excel) for organization vs. for formulas and math, as communicators don't always play in this arena.,Customization; options to select different colors, field options, etc.
Visually Appealing, easy to see and understand from first glance. An optimized user interface (UI), colors help with organization.
Cloud-based; able to be accessed from anywhere.,The formula and matrix piece from Excel is not as clean-cut.
The plug-ins or add-ons might need some more improvement (i.e. the map function using a sheet of addresses to plot points).,10,Has streamlined my processes and made them more efficient.
Has cut down the time it takes to enter data multiple places; I can share this with anyone on the team.,JIRA Software, Salesforce Marketing Cloud Email Studio, Salesforce Community CloudTaylor MartzA flexible tool that will help you manage work faster2019-01-25T19:02:17.173ZWe use Airtable to manage marketing projects, coordinate content production, and social media distribution, and to house our marketing collateral. It's used primarily by our marketing, sales, and support teams and across multiple geographies. The main problem it addresses for us is that it helps us better track specific tasks for projects involving multiple people.,Managing content production workflows

It is currently being used as a proxy customer relationship management software for accounts that enter this stage. Our various Collections teams compile the list of accounts in Airtable and track them there. Using the various Airtable tags, we can easily identify and mark accounts for each stage of collections that they are in. As Airtable is online, it is used collaboratively by different teams.,Visualization - Airtable has colorful tags which help you easily identify things.
Collaboration - Multiple users can work on a project at the same time.
Filtering - Airtable has a complex set of filters.,Simultaneous collaboration - if multiple users are on the same sheet and a filter is applied, the view changes for everyone.
Complex calculations - you cannot do mathematical formulas within the software.
Data analysis - would be great if they had charts and graphs.,8,It's a cost effective data management tool as others on the market we have canvassed are very expensive.
Allows collaboration at a low cost. There are free accounts.
It has allowed us to create our own system as other software on the market are not built for our use case.,Asana,Asana, Trello, ViberVerified UserPractically Perfect in Every Way!2019-01-15T20:41:02.159ZI work in Primary Education; delivering the National Curriculum for Computing/ICT. This includes all year groups; from Reception to Year 6 (4 to 11 year olds). Databases form part of that curriculum. Pupils have to learn to populate, create and develop databases, and to analyse the data entered using sorting, filtering (queries), searching and graphs. Our old software became obsolete a few years ago, at which time I researched education products, later widening my parameters to include products developed for business. I needed a product that was easy to use, met all of the criteria, and was cost effective. Airtable filled my requirements perfectly. I prefer it to any of the education products. More recently I have started to use it to track student data and to create a resource inventory. I have enthusiastically recommended it to a number of people.,The website is very well laid out. It is uncluttered, easy to navigate, and is highly visual. There are a great range of field types and add-on blocks.
Setting up bases is very straightforward. If you get stuck the help section and videos are excellent. You can also access Airtable Universe to see examples of how the product is used by others.
I have submitted a number of queries by email and in each case the staff were very helpful and responded quickly. Given that I was using a free account at the time, I was very impressed.
Given that I have used the product with very young children successfully, I think that it is extremely well designed.,They only thing I can think of is being able to switch between user accounts without having to log on and off.
A personal request, would be to add shades of brown to the color palette. When working with the children, we color code field options for eyes and hair. The only children I can't do this for is brunettes with brown eyes. A small thing I know, but it would really help the younger children as it is a visual clue.,10,Zoho CRM,Microsoft 365 BusinessShirley HickeyAirtable will take your business automation to the next level.2018-03-26T22:29:38.353ZWe use Airtable for our clients. We optimize and automate business systems and processes using Airtable combined with Zapier. We use it to solve many problems including automatically generating dropbox links and automated emailing of them. As a database used to manage a clients members, their invoicing, stripe reconciling, automated emailing etc.,It has similar functionality to Google Sheets but allows you to do much more powerful data organizing. ie. Relationships between data (which DB devs will know all about but not spreadsheet users). eg. You have a list of students and a list of classes, you want to link those two lists together so you don't have to duplicate lots of data.
Also, in terms of data organizing, the fields are a lot easier to customize and lock-in. Instead of using clunky data validation in sheets, Airtable allows you to select all kinds of different field types. Single select, multi-select, phone number, email address, collaborator, checkbox are ones we use regularly.
Once paired with Zapier, Airtable's ability to power annoying manual data entry is fabulous! Using views you can trigger Zapier in all kinds of powerful ways.,Pricing per user could get painful. We tend to get around this for small setups by using a generic account. You can still setup up to three people with 2FA security on it fairly easily.
We use Airtable with Zapier a lot and sometimes we have some issues with deduplication where a zap won't run because a record has appeared in a view that it's been in before... which is probably great most of the time but sometimes we have to switch the zap off and on to make it work again. ie. If you trigger a Zapier process from within Airtable and then want to trigger that same process the next day, it may not work as it looks like a duplicate.
Unlike a "real" relational database Airtable doesn't have a back-end and a front-end, it's more like a "mid-end". This means you can't create a tidy, usable front end for non admins and you can't create granular account permissions. ie. Admin 1 can edit table 1. Admin 2 can edit Table 2. This is the biggest downfall and has been a problem for some of our clients where they need different views for different people with different levels of access. eg. Teacher, admin, student.,10,We've been able to increase the impact of our clients by decreasing their manual admin time.
Clients are making less mistakes as more of their data is automatically updated.
Creating filter views for reports and then embedding these in Google Sites is also reducing pain and increasing automation.,,Zapier, Trello, Google Drive, Xero, Toggl,Yes,Product Features

A lot more useful and practical than spreadsheets,Formulas are quite painful compared to Google Sheets which highlights which set of brackets you're working within and gives more feedback on whether you've written the formula correctly. Sometimes, I have to build the formula in Google Sheets first to copy across.,Yes,9Malcolm Colman-ShearerHighly capable data and project management that’s great for teams.2019-01-18T17:10:10.444ZWe use Airtable across our entire organization to manage inventory, organize product lists, project management, and for upload templates for some of our other services. It has helped us reduce the number of versions of files being emailed between us, and the integrations with other services have allowed us to reduce our workflow and run reports more efficiently.,Different views of information allow for a comprehensive understanding
Built-in templates make quick work of some small business tasks
Integrations with 3rd party software fit into our existing workflow,There is a learning curve, and several new features are only available on paid plans.
Certain tasks that people may be familiar with in Excel or Google Sheets do not function similarly in Airtable
Some views are not available on mobile devices which may leave you waiting to see information.,8,Increased collaboration among team members

Increased transparency with project management,Google Drive and Smartsheet,Slack, ecomdash, Adobe Illustrator CCSander KallshianAirtable - almost for every need2019-01-02T15:52:20.376ZAirtable is, in our Company, used across the whole organization. Mostly for content creation, website development and as a simple finance database. We're using Airtable for almost everything. Right now, we're actively working with 11 bases. Thanks to Airtable, we were able to create a content creation team with all the necessary processes such as project planning and tracking, assigning, and retrospective analytics, with a little help from Power BI.
As a finance database, we are using Airtable also as a client database. So thanks to the "Link to another record" function we can link invoice items to invoices, and invoices to the correct client or Supplier. With that and a strong API that allows us to connect Power BI directly to Airtable, we also have real-time analytics about all of these.,Fast and easy to use with pretty UX. And for those who have a question, there is very simple but strong help center
Real-time collaboration with many people and change history
Integration with many apps via Zapier and API with documentation with examples
Allows us to link records to create a logical structure of many tables.
Many sample templates are ready to use or just provide inspiration
Real-time is a universal tool that everyone can customize for personal use
Also in the big base, each user can filter and customize their personal view. So everyone can view only the data and structure that they want.,No way to link one table from one base to another table in another base :/
Because of permissions, we need 1 table with restricted access to a few people. But some data we need to be used on a company-wide base. For example, one base with suppliers and CRM, another base for project management.
We would appreciate more granular permission, but it is in progress,10,It helped us to start managing our projects and our team efficiently. A simple table with all the data we needed, assigned tasks etc. So we could deliver more in shorter time.,Microsoft 365 Business, TogglVáclav VařílekObsessed with Airtable. Recommend to EVERYONE.2018-12-28T14:24:44.659ZI use Airtable professionally and personally for the following uses:
1. Planning my wedding
2. Managing to do items
3. Content calendar for clients
4. Hours tracking and invoicing
5. Lead Tracking
I'm such a fan of Airtable that 3 of my clients have implemented it in their organizations after my recommendation. It is great for collaboration between clients and coworkers, or friends and family.,Uploading files to cells - this is so much better than a spreadsheet!

It has lead to fewer mistakes.,Google Charts,PyCharm, HubSpot CRM, TweetDeckVina RathboneA platform that can be a central part of your organization2018-12-23T00:25:17.287ZWe use Airtable across the organization and also within different departments. We use Airtable for CRM (Customer Research Management), general bookkeeping, project and task management. We also use it for timekeeping; we create online forms and have stakeholders submit relevant information. We manage our social media calendar, general calendar, and list of events in Airtable. We have eliminated many apps and now conduct the related work in Airtable.,Filters and grouping of Data. Airtable has many options to filter and group data and it could be done so quickly and presented very cleary.
A different view of the same database. Airtable allows the user to create views such as 'Gallery', 'Kanban' 'Calendar' and 'Grid' view of the same database. Many versions of each view can be created thus saving time and resources duplicating data. These views can be then shared with stakeholders.
Templates - Airtable provides many templates to allow new and experienced users a ready-made platform to work off.,Bookkeeping, while there are many options for bookkeeping it's still not as straightforward as more well-known spreadsheet platforms. Improvements here would allow companies to export their basic bookkeeping to Airtable.
Integrations. Airtable is lacking in integrations. Having more integrations would enable Airtable to become an even stronger database for organizations.
Organization. When a base has a large number of tabs it's hard to get a helicopter view of the tabs. Although the search is pretty good.,10,We are a small organization. Using Airtable has allowed us to save a lot of time and resources as the information we need is very accessible via Airtable.
Using Airtable has allowed us to eliminate project and task management tools, CRMS, and time-keeping tools thus saving us money on respective tools and time as more tasks can be carried out in one platform.
Is easier to onboard team members. They need to learn about less platforms which means they can get up to speed very quickly and get started on their main tasks.,Google Drive, Trello, Toggl and Notion,Google Drive, Buffer, MailChimpJohn WhelanI am thrilled to be a part of the Airtable community!!2018-03-26T19:00:56.681ZThank you, Airtable! We are a small, start-up nonprofit that relies on volunteers to help us accomplish our mission. Right now we are in the process of building our infrastructure and choosing the right tools to help us do this is important to us. Good, effective and intuitive databases are critical to the work of impactful community mobilization and information sharing. Airtable fits this bill. And I tested this! I had a few folks that really did not understand the structure of a database to try to create a simple Airtable database with 14 fields and 51 records. More importantly, I asked them to create this database WITHOUT using the help desk but by GUESSING only. Folks were able to build the bones of the database. I, of course, swooped in to figure out how to add pictures, create the drop-down boxes and make links and I was able to do this without asking for "help" but by clicking onto the icons that made the most sense.I am thrilled that I found and tried out Airtable! And now I am more thrilled that I am now a part of the Airtable community!,It has a really great UI. It is friendly enough for users that may find databases somewhat daunting but robust enough for folks like me that have intermediary database skills.
I like the way that you make the content of drop-down boxes look like colorful tagging.
It is very easy to add pictures and other types of attachments.
Making the database relational by linking fields is pretty simple.,I am still in my trial phase so some of my wishes (I will not consider these "cons", yet) may already exist in the more advanced plans but I would like to be able to wrap the text in the fields within the default Grid View.
I think that all of the plans should give some the ability to change the font, font size and formatting of the text within a field.
The calendar feature was a little quirky. And as far as I can tell, it does not allow me to put several items in on specific dates.,10,Right now, quickly building up our database resources is critical. Our ability to engage folks to volunteer to help with the creation of these databases without needing a steep learning curve to do so means that we can engage folks without frustrating them.
Eventually, we will use Airtable to track participants time and activity resources and this information will be used to inform grant proposals,FileMaker Pro,Microsoft Office 365, Asana, Apple iCloud, QuickBooks for Mac, Facebook for Business, Adobe Illustrator CC,Yes,Price

Airtable has amazing templates built out to help you get started quickly.
If you don’t want to use a template, you have the freedom to customize the template for exactly what you need.
We are able to store user personas, keywords, types of content, etc. and access it all in one view.,It would be really helpful if Airtable had a stronger “onboarding” or “how-to-use” when sharing the table to a client or other user.,9,Airtable saves us tons of time going between multiple tabs and social by keeping it all in one view.

When we decided to upgrade from MS Access, we knew that we needed something simple to use, bug-free, dynamic, able to be used across a variety of devices and platforms and providing all of the necessary data on the people we serve, the organizations we collaborate with, and our own volunteers in a clean, concise, easily navigable, easily editable format. Airtable has proven perfect for all of these needs. And to be able to edit in real time with people viewing the same screen from different locations is an added bonus. The only downside--it is so good we entered so much information that we had to upgrade pretty quickly! But our experience of using it this far leaves us convinced that the added cost will be worth it.,very intuitive and simple to use

Airtable is helping us manage the work pipeline of various teams, online and backed up in ways we could not have previously hoped for. Importantly while addressing these things at a relatively low cost we have a flexible solution to other opportunities and problems we hope to address with Airtable in the future.,All the hard work of trying to build a solution in Excel is done for you. You can create links to simple mobile-friendly forms and datasheets and it builds input forms automatically that can then be easily customized.
The relationships across tables are robust and deal with changes to fields and tables without the need for intervention or maintenance (like a proper database).
Initial set up and use require a minimal set of IT skills. Coming with an array of pre-built templates and the ability to import your existing spreadsheet and customize and fine tune it from there into a database
They don't contact me every day trying to sell their product (probably because they don't have to).,A little more customisation of the forms would be fantastic. The interface is simple and helps avoid making problems for yourself, but being able to take out some of the white space and select different fonts or show basic formatting would be a good addition. But such is Airtable I am likely to find out with the right knowledge you can.
Not being able to connect "Bases" together. This can be addressed by building all tables you need in to one base and remembering you can always export the data out somewhere else if you need this level of integration.
If you are a larger or growing organisation, Airtables flexibility and ease at replacing spreadsheets needs to be managed (or you could replace your uncontrolled Excel addiction with an Airtable one).,10,I would estimate it has personally saved me 2 hours a week of administration better invested in other things. These are the most valuable cost savings I have on a personal level.
I was able to explore, populate, configure and prepare Airtable for what I needed for free. Only when we reached the point of being ready to make full use of the system did we need to spend a penny.
Replacing Excel for administrative tasks with Airtable will eventually save us hundreds of lost hours a year.Chris ChinnEasy to learn to onboard your entire team - yet powerful2018-05-01T17:02:31.990ZWe're using Airtable for knowledge, process, and records management as our research center grows to include more proposals, projects, people, publications, and presentations. A relational database management system allows us to keep track of the relationships between each of these with up-to-date records. University and funding agency guidelines expect us to retain records for reporting and we had been doing this in Google Drive, particularly Google Sheets. As we scaled up, records in Google Sheets became less manageable as new records were added that weren't properly linked. Airtable allows us to structure fields and relationships but is as easy to use or easier to use than Google Sheets.,Great user experience and minimal learning curve. 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 of a steeper learning curve.
Easy to share views and invite contributions via forms.
Blocks add significant functionality that would be hard to custom build.,I'd really like to be able to link records or a view between bases within my workspace.
The form designer is not as featured as we're used to with Google Forms.
I'm using the Airtable Importer by Railsware to bring Airtable data into Google Sheets. Import from Google sheets would be a great feature.,10,Airtable allows us to significantly reduce staff time required to run a research proposal review process, which has a high positive ROI.
With Airtable, we're doing a better job at tracking which research faculty works with each other so we have an idea of collaboration opportunities.
Airtable will improve our organization's knowledge retention.

I needed a way to track multiple projects that might share some common elements but not all, and the ability to apply different views based on user or reporting needs.,It's very easy to use. I was able to start from scratch and get a pretty complex workflow set up in just a couple hours.
The ability to create one "master table" with every piece of possible information is good for the "deep dive" members of the team, but then it's easy to create views and calendars based on just a few pieces of data that are better for one specific use or person.
Being able to store draft content on the system as attachments means that the review copy/image can be included in the workflow rather than as a separate email or in another tracking system.
The ability to quickly group, sort and filter on the master table make it easy for the power-users to work with the full set of information, but still find a specific project quickly.,It would be great to have multi-tiered selection options. So if I check a box-like, "Does this need social support?" I could then pick from a multi-select drop-down based on the choice.
It would be good if we could have a kanban view built off a selection from a multi-select since some projects might be part of multiple strategic initiatives.
It would be cool if forms could have some basic if/then functionality. As it is, we need to create different forms for different media requests that share 75% of the same data.,9,Too early to tell. I hope that it will allow for both a task-specific view that helps people keep on schedule with projects and higher-level views that help with tactical and strategic planning.,Social Studio and Asana,Social Studio, Microsoft Office 365Andy HavensAirtable is helping our small nonprofit grow2018-04-19T19:21:14.003ZDEF is using Airtable to keep track of several things: Sales pipeline, event management, donor contributions, and program management. I use and manage Airtable and provide reports to staff as necessary.,The ease of the relational database capabilities are key for keeping tracking of how our contacts, partners, donors, and event attendees are all related.
The map block feature is great for when we're on the road visiting partners.
The custom views are extremely helpful for viewing the most important information quickly.
As a nonprofit, the reduced prices are also greatly appreciated so we can put more funds towards the youth we serve rather than into infrastructure.
Of HUGE importance is the care and feeding I've received from customer support. I ask a question and get a response within 24 hours and the response is personalized and makes sense. The conversation with a single representative is such a relief and makes it so much easier for me to be productive.
I suspect that the technology integrations with other apps, using Zapier or otherwise, will become more and more important to us - we're working on getting PayPal payment completions to populate our event attendee lists right now!,I can't actually think of any road blocks or insufficiencies yet!,10,It's too soon to have conclusive evidence of ROI, but I suspect our improved ability to manage our partner and donor relationships will improve, thus leading to positive ROI in the future.,LiveImpact, Excel and Microsoft 365Dana Luco
