Overall Satisfaction with Airtable
Our organization is using Airtable as a CRM to help us consolidate and streamline our customer/partner information. We are a small nonprofit that hosts a large annual arts festival and year-round workshop programming. Currently, we are using loads of spreadsheets to track our programming. Many of our employees are seasonal contractors, so there is very little continuity in data tracking. Airtable is helping us to consolidate and standardize our data, creating a framework that will assist us in better understanding our organization's history and relationship with our many partners and funders.
Pros
- Enter data once, use it in multiple places. This is one of my favorite aspects of Airtable - no more copying and pasting email addresses.
- Intuitive user interface. Considering the level of configuration that is possible in Airtable, the user interface is remarkably intuitive and easy to use.
- Use it for free for up to 1200 records. This allowed us to take the time to play with the product and build out our databases before purchasing to be sure it was going to work for us.
Cons
- Provide personal views to Plus plan users. Views are super powerful. But for a team using Airtable, the fact that any changes to views made by one person are seen by everyone could be a big potential point of confusion.
- Create conditionally required data. It would be nice to say a certain field is required to be completed if a certain option is chosen in another field.
- We are just getting started with Airtable but expect huge time savings for our team when it comes to tracking down information.
