While Airtable is great in terms of flexibility for organizing and viewing data, some of the flexibility comes at a cost. Workspaces (collection of workbooks), for example, are a great way to organize bases (workbooks), but if you are planning on using premium features, you pay per upgraded workspace. Those who have larger or more complex teams may need to purchase more workspaces, which can get pricey.

Perfect for small, distributed teams/organizations who need to organize and track information and perhaps also serve as a task management tool.
Doesn't apply if someone on the team is not willing to adopt and follow the workflow enabled by AirTable.
I think it is important for teams to establish workflow first and then decide whether AirTable or any tool is useful to support that workflow.

Airtable is very well suited for our small organization and keeps everyone organized. It also allows us to work with other organization and send them specific information. Airtable is also a great tool that allows us to visualize our upcoming project.

The only thing I would like is being able to do is archive past events.

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'd absolutely recommend Airtable to colleagues that I knew were capable of building simple databases or understood how to write formulas. I think that you need to be at least an intermediate Excel user to really get the most out of Airtable.

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 well suited for keeping any type of information that you may have currently spread out in multiple places - for example, contact information, form data, logos, and invoices for a customer, partner, or donor. I have had less luck trying to determine how it can be used efficiently for things like editorial calendars and marketing deadlines. Since Airtable doesn't ping me with reminders, I still have to have all of those things in an Outlook calendar.

Airtable has me super, super impressed. I honestly can hardly think of scenarios where Airtable isn't suited, but that might be my Rose Colored Glasses. Honestly I think it would only fall short if you had extensive needs for customized representation of data - but I'm willing to bet Airtable can do more than you expect it could.

I can only speak for my application. With the structure of our youth program, we track a lot of information, having it available on one screen without needing to write a lot of code is quite helpful

Anyone who is running a scientific research lab of any kind would benefit. Especially if Airtable marketed it to academic and research institutions and had "templates" for project development, manuscript, and grant writing.

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!

Anytime you have data you want to generate insights from, Airtable will be a great choice.
It works really well with structured and unstructured data.
It's not designed to be a financial tool. You can do some numerical tasks with it, but it's not suited to scenarios where you need to do many different types of numerical analysis.

Airtable is great for linking records and pulling information together into views for various audiences. The lack of ability to query information can make data digging a bit more cumbersome as sheets and views build.

As its name suggests, Airtable is very strong in building shared table/databases allowing multiple users and devices to interact with one another. Also, the ability to utilize a relational database model for constructing tables is considerably more powerful than utilizing static standalone tables. That said, I would be leery of using it as the backbone for a transaction-based database program.

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.

Airtable is very suitable if you have a very big database that needs to be organized. It's a good thing that you can link so many things together. As soon as you programmed your routine some information is linked automatically so that makes it easier for us.

The software worked well with smaller data sets, and ones that required images. I have not been able to test out how well it works with larger data sets. Unfortunately, when you move to a pay plan, the use case for even a small team entering data becomes cost prohibitive. I have had to move to a single login for my research project. This means my students can not enter data into the base simultaneously, or make proper use of the ability to "check out" rows of the database by adding their user IDs in a collaborator field.
