Airtable Reviews

Airtable was the most comprehensive, economical, and easy to use in direct comparison to GatherContent, Asana, Smartsheet, and CoSchedule. The solution that sticks out to me the most is Smartsheet. Through our team's evaluation, we quickly recognized how much more flexible, modern and easy to navigate Airtable was over Smartsheet. Airtable helped us follow our existing media process while avoiding redundant tasks (i.e. needing to update multiple spreadsheets with the same information). Keeping data accurate was also important, so we needed "protected" or "locked" grids to avoid accidentally editing by team members who only view content. We found GatherContent was a tool better suited for website/blog-type content reviews and workflows. And Asana was better suited for project management. We did some testing on the format/template that best fit our needs and we came to a general format that we think will work best within Airtable.

Airtable is better because it has a free version. Free is always good for me. The others require payment. I don't like monday at all. Basecamp and Teamwork have been fair comparisons, but there isn't a free version that we can use. Overall, Airtable is still pretty good for the needs we have as a business.

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 combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the possibilities that come with a database, all within one tool. We have chosen it after a short evaluation. It is incredibly easy to use after a short training, making it a great tool compared to the typical spreadsheet-based apps.

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 user-friendly CRM interface is easy to use without much hassles makes Airtable able to stack up well, among other tools.

ProductPlan works to a point but it is entirely roadmap/timeline based. In our profession timelines and priorities are constantly shifting and changing and the roadmap lead to some false expectations around when things were happening. Additionally, it was very hard to group things together effectively for roll up from epic to mission to theme. Overall, I feel that airtable does a much better job meeting our specific needs.

Airtable better organizes communication with clients than Slack. Communications with Airtable are task-specific and fall into the overall process.

As of other integrated databases softwares we used, we also use Notion.so to write and manage wikis for our projects. I've tested many other softwares that are similar to Airtable, like Coda, Fieldbook and Excel itself. Airtable has the better user interface and experience from them all and Airtable is very well coded, with everything happening lightning fast.

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 other than the database of our customers and our products, so we plan and manage better.

I have used Excel and Google Sheets in the past. Both are great spreadsheet software, but Airtable is unique in that it is both a spreadsheet app and a database. As a result, Airtable doesn't have all of the spreadsheet functionality of Excel, but in many other ways offers more flexibility and capabilities. I use pretty basic spreadsheets, so Airtable is great for me. I love the way Airtable looks, so it's become my go-to.

The other software I have used in a similar way would be excel or google sheets. Both allow collaboration in a spreadsheet or table format, but neither compares to Airtable at all. Airtable is easier to collaborate on and present. It is easier to teach and share and easier to store a variety of information in.

We liked Airtable's approach to organizing data and information and its rich set of views and number of templates. It does collaboration facilitation very well. Airtable also offers excellent support, solid security features, and great third party integration. Finally, we felt it was relatively straightforward to use, once you get up to speed on it.

Airtable allows us to schedule out our planned social media posts for months at a time at no cost to our company. This is a distinct advantage over social media-specific tools we have used in the past. Currently, we use Airtable to plan our posts and Buffer to push them through to our three social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

I have not used any tools similar to Airtable. With its wide functionality and plethora of tools, I don't see a reason why I would use another project when Airtable works just fine for myself and my company. The entire team uses it and uses it well, so I do not think we will be using any other similar software anytime soon.

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 to navigate or clean.

I haven't tried any other software but a close competitor could be Firebase database in our case as it also helps prototyping products easier. I'm not naware of any other products that could do a similar thing like airtable.

Airtable is a great price and has much more than competitors offer. Very easy to use!

Eventually we migrated to Lucidchart, which made it easy to make and print organization charts for a small business (50 employees).

The most similar tool we have used for this purpose is Microsoft Excel, and Airtable is so much easier to use than Excel. Instead of figuring out how to write a formula, create a custom list, or any other process that would allow Excel to do things like tag rows or link to other records, in Airtable we simply choose an option from a list, and that task is already done. We can also easily collaborate on bases without having to create a shared Excel document on a network drive, which is notoriously tricky. Airtable allows us to get to work on our projects without a lot of administrative overhead.

Airtable offers more functionality.

Airtable is less clunky than JIRA, and it's more collaborative.

I actually use both Airtable and Monday for different purposes. I've found Monday to be the better collaboration/project management/dashboarding tool, while Airtable is better as a database.
