Overall Satisfaction with Airtable
Airtable is, in our Company, used across the whole organization. Mostly for content creation, website development and as a simple finance database. We're using Airtable for almost everything. Right now, we're actively working with 11 bases. Thanks to Airtable, we were able to create a content creation team with all the necessary processes such as project planning and tracking, assigning, and retrospective analytics, with a little help from Power BI.
As a finance database, we are using Airtable also as a client database. So thanks to the "Link to another record" function we can link invoice items to invoices, and invoices to the correct client or Supplier. With that and a strong API that allows us to connect Power BI directly to Airtable, we also have real-time analytics about all of these.

- Fast and easy to use with pretty UX. And for those who have a question, there is very simple but strong help center
- Real-time collaboration with many people and change history
- Integration with many apps via Zapier and API with documentation with examples
- Allows us to link records to create a logical structure of many tables.
- Many sample templates are ready to use or just provide inspiration
- Real-time is a universal tool that everyone can customize for personal use
- Also in the big base, each user can filter and customize their personal view. So everyone can view only the data and structure that they want.
- No way to link one table from one base to another table in another base :/
- Because of permissions, we need 1 table with restricted access to a few people. But some data we need to be used on a company-wide base. For example, one base with suppliers and CRM, another base for project management.
- We would appreciate more granular permission, but it is in progress
- It helped us to start managing our projects and our team efficiently. A simple table with all the data we needed, assigned tasks etc. So we could deliver more in shorter time.
