Overall Satisfaction with Airtable

We use Airtable in the innovation team. In the innovation team, we work across all directorates in the organisation which means huge sharing of documents and knowledge. Emails can easily get lost and spreadsheets are in abundance. Most of our work is in spreadsheets, however, Airtable makes it extremely easy to format into easy to read Kanbans, galleries, and calendars which are easy to edit and share amongst other directorates. Other teams in the organisation have started to take notice of Airtable as a project and collaboration tool.

Pros

  • Easy templates to modify, very little training is needed
  • If you can use Excel you can use Airtable
  • Categorising and searching of items is so useful!
  • Public links - absolutely excellent to share to larger number of people

Cons

  • Direct chat would be really amazing, at the moment still looking at using Slack
  • Comment section could be better, @mentions etc.
  • Storing of images in a central gallery
  • It has saved a lot of time sharing information across various teams
Airtable is really great if you're looking for a place to share content in easy to read and easy to edit formats. Further functionalities could make it really great to use across the whole organisation. It may be easier for us to have multiple workplaces to act like folders with multiple bases instead of one main workplace.
