Airtable is suitable for every organization that needs a centralized database or organizations that have multiple services that require the same data or has overlapping data between them. Airtable can be the general source of raw data that can be retrieved by multiple different services with different database structures with their API.

I've found Airtable to be a useful tool for organizing donor data for a small nonprofit. Larger organizations may need software specifically designed for this purpose, but for my small organization, it's helpful to be able to customize a simple platform with only the relevant information.

Airtable is well suited for spreadsheet users who are looking for some added organizational functionality but do not need the added complexity or IT oversight of a full RDB solution. Airtable is not as well suited however for users who need to build a detailed, operational database.

Airtable is genuinely a great tool for any industry and is only becoming more flexible as they grow and innovate. Specifically, I find it most useful when it comes to operations and project management. I also think it is a great tool for the marketing and design industry where drafts and approvals are needed. Being that they offer a great free solution, there really is no reason why someone shouldn't at least give it a try.

We used to maintain all our data on spread sheets online. Became cumbersome to keep track of various sources and edits. Airtable solves that. The ability to restrict data access and visibility is a also a huge plus. And because it is smart phone enabled app, no more "wait till we get access to a laptop to enter data".

Airtable allows seamless collaboration across teams, particularly on digital creative project management which is not the primary function for many who are engaged in certain aspects. Airtable allows the project manager to easily customise what information people see.

I would recommend Airtable to anyone who organizes their data in an Excel sheet. It's just way more fun. While their search keyboard shortcuts are great, I think they can do better at organizing bases and workspaces. It is hard to organize and pricing is a little expensive for their paid version that has great features like "Blocks".

Airtable is well suited for situations where different team members or different teams need to coordinate information in one convenient location. It is also well suited for people who have a variety of different types of data points, as it allows for functions for checkboxes, the ability to attach a file, link to another table, and other means of cross-connecting information.

I think it works great for basically any scenario.

Due to common arrangement of budgets where months are in columns and not in rows, it is not entirely perfect for financial data, however it takes just a little to get used to different approach and works much better than common Excel views.

Airtable is perfect for teams that have non-coders / technical people looking to manage data (especially images and documents), as well as process flows. Anyone also looking to create quick and easy gallery views or Kanban style process management flows will find it highly beneficial.

Even advanced programmers/tech people will find the ease of use and beautiful UX nice, and with the API integration, it is possible to create much more powerful applications as well.

It is not appropriate as a full-fledged business modeling, financial planning or budgeting tool like excel due to the inherent simplicity of the product (And I think they're not trying to do that as well).

For us, Airtable is well suited to volunteer management, event tracking, and asset management. Love the ability to share views and data with other programs and partners.

Since our experience with Airtable is limited, where it is less appropriate is an open question. Possibly when it comes to more advanced data and statistical analysis.

So far it seems like it can be a good fit for our marketing team. I also recommended it a co-worker who also owns a side business as a cattle rancher. She was just about to spend a lot of money on software when I found airtable and suggested it to her. She said she could have hugged me because Airtable was better than the other software.

It is really easy to adapt the databases to make sure they fit your needs, so I'm not sure where this will not work if you are looking to stay organized.

Airtable is very suitable for project management, grant management, and event planning. We also made it work as a relationship manager and CRM, but if you have a very large pool it might not be able to suit your needs. Airtable cannot replace Excel sheets driven by functions and macros. One thing that I have found very useful is for events, assigning guests to tables and viewing your seating in the Kanaban view is amazing.

We manage marketing materials for different departments and events going on at the same time. It's helpful for us to use Airtable to keep us on track, remind us of small details, and share documents related to the project with other collaborators.

We used Airtable to help us promote an upcoming event that required different projects to be completed by different people. It helped us meet our deadlines and sell out the event through our marketing efforts!

We have used Airtable in a few capacities: We know it is great for CRM, Deal & Opportunity Management, Event Planning, Travel Requests, Automated Approvals, Expense Filing, Employee Directory, and Content Release Management.

It's actually a much more powerful program than it would appear because of its views and filtering (grouping) capability. We also thought the blocks function to create dashboards (automatically updated) was super useful for visualization and monitoring.

Airtable is well suited for all of our drive tracking and scheduling needs. After comparing this software with many other options on the market, Airtable was by far the most intuitive, clear, and user-friendly while not losing any of the power and functions of a strong database software. They continue to come out with amazing features that make it the best option for collecting data, categorizing data, summarizing data, and handling data with events (dates/time).

I would recommend Airtable to anyone at a medium to large company who needs to manage interconnected projects—particularly if scheduling is involved.

Functionally, Airtable would be fantastic for individuals/freelancers and small businesses, but the current pricing structure may not feasible.

I have researched several platforms for the mail merge reports that we need for this project. Airtable is the only platform that allows for ease of use for the average user, graphics hosted within the database, and easy to print reports.

This is the perfect database for Animal Sanctuaries, zoos, animal rescue & adoption organizations. As a 501C3 records need to be kept in an accessible fashion and now are easy to access for donors requests of spending and reports to the board. Contacts database is a snap. As I have time I am moving all our financial records to Airtable. It is perfect for linking who and how much in any financial docs. As print capabilities improve I hope to be able to select layouts so I can move straight from financial records to label output for mailings.
