Overall Satisfaction with Airtable
I am currently the only Airtable user at my organization. I am using it to manage multiple projects and overall workflow.
- Airtable is very flexible and can be customized for my needs.
- Airtable makes setting up a basic relational database very simple and intuitive.
- Airtable has user-friendly controls.
- If you lack familiarity with relational databases, it could be easy to just use it as another normal spreadsheet.
- You need to have some initiative to set up your work area--it's not plug and play like some task management systems are.
- Not sure yet--I've only been using it for a few weeks, but the signs look good! I'm optimistic that it will help me spend less time managing my workflow, and more time getting things done!
I also tried using a Google spreadsheet. Airtable makes things like linking records, and creating field types like check boxes, a lot easier, and the multiple flexible views (especially calendar) are wonderful.
I tried using Trello, but found the somewhat limited view options to be frustrating. I love being able to look at my information as a table, as cards, or as a calendar.
