Airtable Reviews

In its current state, Airtable is well suited to run many aspects of a real estate business. However, the caveat is that it takes a fair amount of customization (and familiarity with writing formulas to produce data just the way you need it) as well as deep integration with Zapier in order to connect other services to it.

I'm always thrilled at the new uses we continue to find for Airtable. The app excels at project management. We're currently using a base to track a stories project. Further, it's invaluable for tracking as a CRM or influencer marketing. One area where I wish for improvement is the IFTTT and Zapier integrations. It's a little clunky and misses at times.

Airtable is great as a personal organizer and particularly excels at project tracking for marketing related fields - such as social media calendars, content calendars, ad planning and tracking, and metrics reporting. It also works well for integrating with e-mail providers to track interactions and calculate next steps. This is particularly useful in an accounts receivable tracking scenario, as well as for CRM applications.

Any kind of lists, campaigns, checklists, asset management, onboarding forms, etc as I enumerated in my Use case.

I find that Airtable is well suited for companies/organizations that have a lot of data that needs to be organized, quickly updated, and accessed by employees easily. There are many features such as graphs, filtering options, mapping system, calendar options, and such. This is very helpful for our organization as we need a place to easily and quickly navigate community resources to provide the families we work with.

It works well for us to manage staff, students, communication, organization, and projects. We were looking for something to help us with all of these things without using multiple programs. We are glad that we found Airtable and it has met all of those needs. Looking forward to continuing to use Airtable and looking forward to the improvements.

AirTable suits our small time of people who are comfortable with technology and have close communications. It means we can all jump in and tweak systems to our needs,

Excellent for managing large complex communication plans and calendars.

Airtable is very customizable, so it is very easy to automate all kind of administrations for small businesses. I truly wish I had this ten years ago.

Great for mobile staff - excellent way to share ever-changing information. Not great for instant notifications (users don’t get a lot of push notifications by default).

Content calendar management Team workflow (either project specific or overarching day to day team activity management).

Airtable is well-suited for organizations who need a database system to track records. It is less suited for those who want a more collaborative project management-type system, though Airtable does offer some collaboration functions.

Airtable has completely replaced our need for other softwares that stored information. We can build out content for months at a time and reference it all in one place rather than using something like Google Drive where we’d have to have tons of tabs open at once.

While it’s a great planning tool, it isn’t necessarily built for storing large pieces of content.

Airtable is great for keeping your contacts organized. However, the more complex your Rolodex is, the more difficult it may be to contain all the information you have in an extremely organized way. It also has a very easy to use mobile app, which is extremely helpful when you use it to contain information that you need to access on the go.

Airtable is well-suited for collecting data that would be unwieldy to maintain in a Google Sheet. Our main problem has been how to scale our workflows with volunteers, since Google Sheets is free without limits to functionality.

Airtable is proving well-suited to

• take applications from candidates wishing to apply for volunteer and paid positions at the festival
• monitor and review job applications
• enabling a number of colleagues to work on the same task
• getting temporary staff using the system quickly

I am keen to use the system to manage RSVPs to event invitations but this is proving a little tricky to facilitate via Airtable.

Any sort of database--keeping records of all of our volunteers, recipients, organizations, etc

Good for replacing administrative spreadsheets, creating resource assignment and calendars, planning activities, creating on the fly data stores, outputting simple mobile data entry forms. Dealing with mobile staff needing to enter simple data quickly or with managers and officers who need to see real-time snapshots of information.

When dealing with smaller data sets and not requiring blocks, then for a non-profit it is useful to have the free workspaces where everyone can fully collaborate and update records.

Less good for complex financial work you should stick with Excel or your finance system. If you have a very large number of records and need many people to be able to update records then you need to consider the costs (however most off the shelf products you will be looking at to do your specific tasks will probably cost more when you evaluate them).

Many business processes can be improved with a collaborative relational database, but few know how to create and use one. 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. The combination of a minimal learning curve and features make Airtable a win. I've already recommended it to colleagues at other universities who've started using it.

I'd say if you're looking to consolidate project details across a number of functions where there's a lot of overlap, Airtable is a great choice. We've got a relatively small team of content creators and project managers, but we are often involved in a wide variety of media, content types and deliverables. So it helps to be able to put every activity on one master spreadsheet, but then be able to pull out views that pull out only select pieces of info for specific projects or strategies. The ability to search across fields means you can also use hashtags for folks who want to be able to locate their work using person-specific queues that don't need to be agreed-upon as part of the overall design of the table.

I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a content repository specifically or a DAM. It could do that in a very limited sense, but not if you're wanting to store large graphic or video assets. Also, as far as I can tell, you can't publish directly to social accounts from Airtable. So you'll still need to port your content directly to your social accounts or a platform manager like Social Studio.

I hope to manage everything in our business through Airtable. I'm not sure of the extent of the formula capabilities but I'm excited to learn my options there. The consolidation of all our data so far has been of great value to keep us organized and productive. The fact that we don't have to be IT geniuses is of enormous benefit because relying too much on outside IT help becomes messy - we need stability and ease of use in our technology, which Airtable has given us so far.

It's VERY easy to use and VERY powerful. Honestly feels like a big leap in productivity tools. Airtable just feels like magic and seems to address many of the weaknesses of other great tools all at once. I have started to use it across all of Operation Fistula's work, but also across my client's work too!

We haven't being using Airtable for long, so where it is best-suited for us may yet to be seen, although we are thrilled with what we have been able to do in building a CRM in such a small amount of time. I can see us quickly starting to think about a donor management base next. It appears to have a LOT of flexibility with what you can do with your data - your resources (time/$/staff) to do so may be your only limit.

I recommend Airtable to everyone!
It helps manage:

1. Assets
2. Tasks
3. People

If you're involved in any of those, I'd highly recommend it.
