Airtable Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Structuring data is crucial, and Airtable is the best app for it. I use it as a single source of truth for finances (accounts and transactions), as a CRM (people, organizations, and form submissions), and much more. Paired with its powerful databases, it also offers robust automation capabilities, which I use for sending personalized auto-responses and much more.

Likelihood to Recommend

Exceedingly well suited for centralizing, structure and automating data for internal use. Its lack of support for custom domains or CSS prohibits use for public-facing needs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My division of the organization uses Airtable to track media asset rights clearance, content updates, and quality checking. These uses primarily relate to the maintenance of content on our Education website. We maintain thousands of educational resources that go through routine updates and require copyright clearance for the use of media assets.

Likelihood to Recommend

Airtable is very well suited to record keeping. My team uses it to track media asset clearance, third party vendors' feedback on our content, and the implementation of that feedback, among other things. It makes it particularly easy for us to pull together visual representations of our progress on projects as well. I would not recommend it to anyone who wants to connect Airtable with Wrike, however, as the price of that is exorbitant.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it to organise project data, timelines, and time tracking for projects to share with clients for invoicing ⚡

The Product not only organises my data in a functional way, but also makes it look visually clean and professional. Plus it is easy to maintain, share and coordinate info.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is best suited for project management and less appropriate when you are working with a lot of data, especially if it is sensitive and has access limitations within the team.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Airtable for my business and with a nonprofit that I've been affiliated with for the past 7 years. Across both, I've used Airtable for the following: database to track animal welfare projects, a media pipeline for video creation, a tracker for screening job applicants, a sales database, and so on.

In my experience, Airtable isn't great for budgeting

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Airtable to track just about everything. From product development to project management, social media management, inventory, client profiles... just about everything.

The ability to keep records in AT and view them in different ways is what makes the platform so useful. As a product gets developed, it's helpful to see different aspects of it. Starting in ideation, we can easily attach colors and raw materials early on. When we're in production, we can keep inventory numbers, sales data, attached to the same record. When we move into marketing, we can connect that record to similar products, so they're all attached to a project. It's such a good, well rounded way of looking at and keeping track of products, ideas, tasks... anything you can think of, really.

Airtable is an ideal platform for small and growing businesses to keep track of just about EVERYTHING they need to keep things running smoothly. It's a great way to keep tasks organized, and keep everyone on the same page with progress on all things.

Our company finds the kanban particularly useful, as products go through a lifecycle from ideation to retirement, it's good to keep a database of what is in production, what's working, and what we've tried before.

I can see the platform being challenging with much larger businesses, but for the small to medium businesses I've used the platform with, it is ideal.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use a tool that helps us streamline the communication flows with teams not using the Global CRMs. Mainly to report specific key actions that need to be done daily or important escalations that need to be completed within a short SLA and in a structured way. Is also a tool make announcements to different audiences across the company, and a repository of actionable data.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a good way to streamline communication with multiple departments.

Excellent at automating repeating tasks

Good repository of data

Appealing layout

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Airtable for many tasks, including:

1. Registration, email communications, and check-in for events

2. Tracking budgets

3. Tracking inventory and multimedia assets

4. Contacts/Mailing List

5. Project Management

Likelihood to Recommend

When it comes to event planning, Airtable has saved so much time. We are able to quickly set up registration forms with automated and customized email templates. Then, on the backend, we are able to track RSVPs, make notes, assign roles, check folks in, etc. If we want to send further communication, that is easy to do as well. Checking folks in at events is quick and easy. AirTable is a multi-purpose software that can simultaneously served many needs, from events planning and management to budgeting to reporting on metrics.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Airtable is a tool that's approachable for all stakeholders. It gives a means to create custom automations with easy-on-the-eyes labeling for those who only want a view-only option to make prioritization decisions. Plus, being a web-based software, it can be used for on-the-go events and from mobile. Our team uses it as a source to receive form entries and then prioritize.

Likelihood to Recommend

Airtable is well suited for cross-functional teams who all have an interest in data site - it's democratizing who owns data. Especially if there will be a need to add input on a cell-level basis view comment functionality with the expectation of @mentioned parties respond. Airtable is less suited for teams who need to run functions, jobs, and macros across a data set; they're best suited for Excel.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Airtable as a relational database to manage all aspects of our learning development programs. It was used to centralize information and plan new team member inductions, such as dates, workshops, progress, etc. It was also used for other data related to planning, project management, asset management, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

Airtable is a great fit for smaller organisations that need one collaboration platform for multiple uses, such as project management, automation, reporting, and simple interactive applications based on a central database. It would also be a good fit for functional teams working within a specific vertical, with minimal collaboration requirements outside direct users.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization used Airtable as a low-code "database" and project management tool. We weren't large enough to need "real" relational databases, and Airtable allowed our nontechnical users to easily perform CRUD operations and visualize information.

Likelihood to Recommend

Airtable is great when you need more than a spreadsheet but less than a SQL database. For example, we used it to organize the implementation progress of a certain type of feature in our software product.

We tried using Airtable as a substitute for a project manager, and that unexpectedly did not work well. However, the PM that we finally did onboard ended up using the PM base that I built.
