Overall Satisfaction with Airtable
We use Airtable across our organization for many purposes. This flexible database helps organize our content, networking efforts, projects, and incoming applications. We love how the options within the system allow us to customize workflows and build multiple views of complex information. Basically, Airtable allows us to build customized apps to fix organizational and workflow problems in all aspects of our work.
- Organizes data in a way that goes far beyond what a spreadsheet can do because of the relationships between tables.
- Creates helpful and customized views of information, such as calendar views, Kanban boards, and image-based gallery views.
- Airtable continues to add features, such as the new Blocks, which provide extensions and new ways to utilize and interact with our data.
- The app versions don't offer a Kanban or gallery view yet, which means you need to use the desktop or online version to use certain workflows.
- It would be nice to be able to more easily create graphs or formulas within the data, in the way of a more traditional spreadsheet.
- The forms feature is highly useful, and I'd love to be able to set standard answers for certain form fields to speed up data entry.
- We save hours of staff time due to having information about projects centralized in one place.
- I save hours of personal planning time due to being able to track my projects in the database.
- We make much more use of our content and what we create because we can sort and find it easily.
- Google Sheets. and Numbers
Both of these tools are helpful as databases, but Airtable far outweighs them due to the many views we can use and the custom experience we can build.
