Overall Satisfaction with Airtable
We use Airtable across the organization and also within different departments. We use Airtable for CRM (Customer Research Management), general bookkeeping, project and task management. We also use it for timekeeping; we create online forms and have stakeholders submit relevant information. We manage our social media calendar, general calendar, and list of events in Airtable. We have eliminated many apps and now conduct the related work in Airtable.
- Filters and grouping of Data. Airtable has many options to filter and group data and it could be done so quickly and presented very cleary.
- A different view of the same database. Airtable allows the user to create views such as 'Gallery', 'Kanban' 'Calendar' and 'Grid' view of the same database. Many versions of each view can be created thus saving time and resources duplicating data. These views can be then shared with stakeholders.
- Templates - Airtable provides many templates to allow new and experienced users a ready-made platform to work off.
- Bookkeeping, while there are many options for bookkeeping it's still not as straightforward as more well-known spreadsheet platforms. Improvements here would allow companies to export their basic bookkeeping to Airtable.
- Integrations. Airtable is lacking in integrations. Having more integrations would enable Airtable to become an even stronger database for organizations.
- Organization. When a base has a large number of tabs it's hard to get a helicopter view of the tabs. Although the search is pretty good.
- We are a small organization. Using Airtable has allowed us to save a lot of time and resources as the information we need is very accessible via Airtable.
- Using Airtable has allowed us to eliminate project and task management tools, CRMS, and time-keeping tools thus saving us money on respective tools and time as more tasks can be carried out in one platform.
- Is easier to onboard team members. They need to learn about less platforms which means they can get up to speed very quickly and get started on their main tasks.
