Overall Satisfaction with Airtable

We switched to using Airtable from another product as it offered us more options in carrying over our event checklists year-over-year. It has a great deal of flexibility, including the opportunity to view your data in varying formats. The calendar view is a huge plus for managing our content calendars.
  • Multiple options for viewing your data
  • Ease of replication and linking between records
  • Simplicity of use
  • Greater flexibility in terms of user restrictions are needed. It would be useful to have options for guests to access minor editing features without having to pay for a whole user (i.e. a light user). The previous product we had allowed for this, but Airtable does not.
  • Workspaces are great for organizing teams, however, if you're using premium features, you have to upgrade every workspace, which can get pricey.
  • An option to expand the height of fields would be nice so that in areas with longer text, you would be able to view more content.
  • More colour and icon options for base customization, or the ability to add your own.
  • Staff are now more accountable for their tasks
  • Reduction in group meeting duration as people have access to status updates at all times
Monday.com was a great product, but it was quite expensive. While Monday.com may have been more visually appealing and user-friendly, it lacks the flexibility and functionality of Airtable.
While Airtable is great in terms of flexibility for organizing and viewing data, some of the flexibility comes at a cost. Workspaces (collection of workbooks), for example, are a great way to organize bases (workbooks), but if you are planning on using premium features, you pay per upgraded workspace. Those who have larger or more complex teams may need to purchase more workspaces, which can get pricey.
