Overall Satisfaction with Airtable

We needed to find better duct-tape to model out and run a test on new business processes without spending money on writing an app or buying too much of the solution - essentially ETL with some reporting in the middle. We use it across the organization with ops, cx, and retail being able to stay in sync on a complicated process.
  • No code business process software.
  • Upgrade from google sheets.
  • Test app concepts without spending large amounts of cash.
  • Cost.
  • Can have a steep learning curve.
  • Sometimes not 100% reliable in production environments.
  • Able to demo a new biz concept quickly.
  • Low cost solution to design new biz processes.
  • Removed a significant amount of manual work in coordinating a complex process across multiple verticals in the company.
We didn't evaluate anything against Airtable for our use case - we knew that it was the exact fit for what we had to to get done, and we had to move fast. It replaced a stack of zaps and Google Sheets.
