Overall Satisfaction with Airtable

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Airtable to keep information for all of our contacts in order. We have various connections for the programs that we run, and Airtable helps us keep them straight and categorize based on our relationship (in this situation, companies we work with to place our students in internships, companies we visit with our students, alumni of our program, etc.) It's great for linking records so that we can see where there is overlap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Linking records
Clean design
Easy to categorize cells ($, #, email, phone, etc.)

Cons

Would be great to link bases together
Mobile app - smooth scrolling makes it easy to accidentally delete records

Return on Investment

It has made it much easier for our team members in different locations to know who is talking with who so conversations don't overlap and we don't overwhelm prospective clients

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Access and Salesforce.com

We weren't able to find anything that can do what Airtable does within the free version. We have very simple needs but needed records to connect between sheets, and that's what Airtable does. We also needed something that could easily be passed on to new employees as current employees move on.

Likelihood to Recommend

Airtable is great for keeping your contacts organized. However, the more complex your Rolodex is, the more difficult it may be to contain all the information you have in an extremely organized way. It also has a very easy to use mobile app, which is extremely helpful when you use it to contain information that you need to access on the go.
