A convenient spreadsheet-like database for your projects
I've used Airtable for many projects of mine mostly as my database. It's really convenient for small projects and the free tier is very generous.
Pros
The user experience of Airtable is really great. You can easily navigate through the app and find what you want. Also, I love how easily you can create relations between tables. Also the API documentation is perfect.
Cons
In the past versions of Airtable you could host assets (images etc.) in the cells and Airtable was providing a permanent URL for them. It seems that this features is gone now and I really miss it.

Airtable - the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the structured capabilities of a database
overall airtable helped our business grow exponentially not just because of its applications but it gave us the perspective about what database can do for a business and how simple it can be if we keep that way.
we used it for our app database as well, and it just worked fine bit slow but good for beta version.
Pros
What I love most: The intuitive interface makes it easy to customize views (grid, calendar, kanban, form) and build relationships between different tables. The automation features are a game-changer, saving me countless hours on repetitive tasks.
Who would benefit: Anyone looking for a more dynamic and collaborative way to manage data. It's perfect for teams of all sizes and across various industries.
Cons
One of the least best things about Airtable is its pricing. While there is a free plan, it has limitations on the number of records and storage space.
The paid plans can become expensive, especially for larger teams or those with extensive data needs. AI plans are also overpriced.

Airtable, easy to use platform
Overall a positive experience. User friendly, has many features, a marketplace for non-native challenges you may experience and good integrations with other software/API's.
Pros
It's like a user friendly version of Excel/Google Sheets if you are not overly comfortable with using spreadsheets, this makes it easy.
Cons
User level security permissions on base tables are lacking. Needs to be more granular.

Flexible and powerful database solution with collaboration feature.
Before Airtable, our team relied on a combination of spreadsheets and disparate tools, leading to data silos and inefficient workflows. Airtable has centralized our data, improved collaboration, and empowered us to make data-driven decisions. We've been able to eliminate manual data entry, automate repetitive tasks, and gain valuable insights from our data.
Pros
Its user-friendly interface combines the familiarity of spreadsheets with the power of relational databases. We use Airtable to track marketing campaigns, manage content calendars, organize customer data, and streamline our onboarding process. I particularly appreciate the flexibility to customize views, create relationships between tables, and automate workflows.
Cons
Some of the advanced features, such as unlimited storage and granular access controls, require a paid subscription. Also, the mobile app, while functional, could benefit from some improvements in terms of user experience.

Game changerl
Overall experience has been great to be honest
Pros
This product has been a game changer for my company. Being an Ecommerce business with inventory and teams. It has made it easy to set up bases, automations, dashboard to track a lot. It has made order management so seamless for easy for my teamm less clutter and so many features that has helped the business. Love that I can create multiple bases.
Cons
It has evolved over the years with their updates. But I think the dashboard can be better. They can definitely take a few features from clickup especially with things like tracking and notes.

It is another perspective on project management.
We have this platform in mind within our company because it easily adapted to what we were looking for, which is to be able to track everything, both the management of a project and maintaining contact with clients linked to each project. The implementation of Airtable in my work environment maintains easy collaboration between work teams, it has allowed me to develop creativity by being able to enforce each guideline of a project, it is very interesting how everything is more organized with a tool like this.
It is not necessary to have deep knowledge of this type of platform, despite the fact that it has a learning curve, the interface makes the work much simpler than it seems, thus being able to easily focus on just the management of projects in a collaborative way.
Pros
It allows the visualization of projects in different ways, this flexibility helps us to make management easier depending on the preferences of each user in how they want to work. In addition, it is very easy to apply labels to each task, the reports have several formats and are very customizable. The number of platforms with which I can integrate with Airtable is another plus point, I love how I can easily connect tools from other sites which allows me to speed up my work, thus being able to practically automate my entire process of managing my projects.
The useful form function is not lacking, where I can capture data to be able to apply it within the projects I worked on and continue to work on. Also, its mobile application is very complete, it is quite useful when at specific times we need to do something in the projects and only have a smartphone available, making all the work much faster and everything is done more fluidly because everything works on the fly with the mobile application.
Cons
I must mention a con that has impacted me during the expansion of Airtable is that as more features are integrated, I have found that a learning curve has been added that was not present in the beginning of this platform. In addition, over time, the price has increased without any justification where other platforms seem more attractive and accessible since they offer the same features but maintain a considerable price for both individual users and companies of any size.
Another complaint I have about this is that it has a limitation on the size of the attached files for each base. It could be logical that depending on the plan you have, the size of the file to upload varies, but it seems that this platform does not take this into account, so regardless of the plan you get, this will be a limitation to be able to attach important files that have a size that Airtable handles. The good thing is that it accepts any type of file, so it is somewhat acceptable.

Powerful data management in a flexible system
Absolutely incredible. The ease of use and being able to create no-code apps have been a gamechanger for my organization.
Pros
I love how powerful Airtable is at managing data, while being user-friendly and not overwhelming. Also, if you need any help on Airtable, there are tons of videos and tutorials online. I like that Airtable connects to no-code app builders seamlessly and with ease.
Cons
I haven't found any cons with Airtable. It's always been an easy process to get data in and pull it from other connections. I think the sky is the limit when it comes to Airtable.

By far Airtable is the easiest way for anyone without a deep understanding of spreadsheets to create relational database.
Pros
I like the option for filtering and tracking data, multiple views of the same data set as well,my favorite aspect of Airtable is once data is entered it can be used in multiple places,no more copy pasting email addresses.
Cons
Pulling data from different sheets can be a little overwhelming.

Using airtable for project estimations
The experience with airtable is good at the beginning and great once you know how to use it,
The product is helping us to manage and breakdown projects, so that each row is a task with estimations, skillset, feature, story, epic ect, and using the grouping we can then assemble the sprints according to the manpower
Pros
Very easy to onboard, user firendly, helping stracture projects, great usage of filters and groups,
the fact that it almost predicts what type of data is there and suggest how to categorize it it great,
Cons
It's hard to create reusable templates as each project we manage there is unique with it's own features, AI is not there yet and it can be a good addition to help take decisions and summary based on data

Great tool for nonprofit donation drive management
I managed a nonprofit social services program that took in tens of thousands of donations per year from the public. We needed a way to to organize different "drives" we were conducting and barrels or other resources we were allocating to different companies, school, churches, or other groups that were supporting us. Airtable was a highly powerful product that provided the blank slate we needed to customize to our particular needs and use case. It greatly enhanced our efficiency and visibility into this important part of our business.
Pros
- So many different use cases -- highly adaptable to operational needs
- Tons of integrations with other products
- Mobile app is great -- very helpful for mobile workers who need to access and manage database on the go, such as a truck driver

great for project management!
Overall, I have used Airtable for multiple clients in order to keep track of the blogs or social media posts I'm creating for them and to post them in Airtable for approval. It's excellent for collaboration projects. I also love the free version as it offers a lot of functionality for a price you obviously cannot beat!
Pros
- I love the list style of Airtable
- I love the card functionality where I can leave notes to my team
- The categories are useful for keeping track of what state a card is in: for example if a card is in progress vs complete
Cons
Initial set up is sort of time consuming and confusing but once I watched a YouTube video I totally understood. Other than that, no complaints!

Amazing life saver tool, efficient and convenient
- I love the product, in the earlier days during the training, it seemed a bit difficult nut to crack but once you get hang of it, it is the best tool you will find for task managment.
Pros
- It priorities tasks as per the requirements which makes it easy to work on the most important task in no time.
- It tracks the progress and updates in the workflow.
- Easy to use as using it daily for more than 8 months now.
Cons
- A bit hectic when one could not close the task as we need to fills multiple forms to but it otherwise helps to update the task in the detailed manner so that it could be easy for the next person to understand the context.

Managing projects/tasks with airtable
It has been very useful so far for scheduling and tracking events for later scheduling. However, I spent a lot of time troubleshooting and trying to figure out where the features were and how to best use them.
Pros
The workflow tracking and creating different project workspaces is a great feature. It even comes in handy to create calendars that can be linked to each cell in an airtable view. This allows keeping multiple events at the same location, especially when scheduling events.
Cons
There are a ton of features, and it is a potent tool. However, the ease of use is not great, being lower on the scale for user-friendliness. It is not very intuitive, especially when someone is just starting to play with it. The tutorials become a must to watch when setting up workspaces for the first time.

It's a user-friendly system for keeping track of tasks. There are a variety of filters and labels you can add that makes using the platform easy for a team. Airtable has really streamline my team's work and solved a number of organizational issues for us.
Cons
Occasionally there will be glitches where our Airtable doesn't refresh or update. While this is rare, it can be really disruptive to how our team works and then we need to go back and update the work that was done once the Airtable does refresh.

Airtable made me shine in my legal team
I am very satisfied, and the page I worked on with the help of Airtable gave me a lot of praise from my colleges. I presume this is because my colleagues where not familiar with Airtable (they thought it was only for finance managers) and I deployed it in a new way. I made a page with a couple subpages, where my colleagues can find monthly posts with short summaries of legal news about AI. For instance, what new EU legislation was passed, how AI affects company policies, etc. Even more, my team is planning to start more projects in Airtable:)
Pros
Firstly, the fact that you can deploy your creativity and the tools provided by Airtable allow you to. Honestly, I can't compare it to other products simply because I don't know any analogs. Google tables or Microsoft excel are far more boring to work with, and most importantly, don't give you the fictionality to be as creative as you want. By being creative I mean making tables that look aesthetically pleasing (not boring like excel), nicely design interfaces of your page, link different parts of one page to another one. Secondly, the way you can collaborate with you team is on another level compared to Airtables' rivals. Another advantage is the fact that you have two different interfaces. One that is published to everybody, and the other that is open only to you. I find this very useful.
Cons
Probably the fact that the website lags sometimes. This is especially visible when I switch between pages of my published base. It takes a second-two to load the page (my internet is super fast and my Mac is brand new so that's not the reason). Also, the guide that displays templates is not very useful if you don't intend to make a page about finance, hiring or managing teams. I made a page about laws governing the use of AI, but I ended up using a template for hiring people, which is a totally different topic, as I didn't have another option. Would be cool if the company broadened the topics of the templates and had some touching the topics of: blog posting, reviewing legislation, posting news.

Big Shame...
There is no customer service, so if you're ready to use Airtable, remember that if you'll ever run into an issue, there's no one to talk to.
Pros
Overall everything works amazing. Preset automations are limited, but you have the option of scripting so that helps a lot. Depending what you want to use Airtable for, you might need to use a lot of workarounds, but does the job.
Cons
There is no customer service at all!
theres no way of reaching them and they never respond to emails or their online forms.
We had to leave them as we found an issue and needed help sorting it, but there was no one to talk to.
a few days later one of the views had a bug where you couldn't click into any linked records, we tried emailing, submitting forms, but no response (btw this happened a month ago and still no response from them).

This is the cool brother of your office package
It has been extremely beneficial and we use it absolutely every day. There are drawbacks, for sure, but once you learn how to navigate it and use this tool, it will be game-changing.
Pros
Airtable feels like the cool brother of Office packages out there. It is great for keeping track of project statuses, or the status of work left undone. It also allows you to build forms that will populate the data in their version of spreadsheet, which is highly powerful and supports some cool features, such as complex relational data structures, that usually other competitors don't.
Cons
There are a few downsides to Airtable. As a user, they could offer better reporting and analytics, this way our teams could better understand what is working and what could go better just by assessing data. Also, sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming to use its customisation options.

Airtable is a flexible and powerful tool for milestone
. I appreciate that Airtable allows me to integrate with other tools and apps, such as Zapier, Google Analytics, Slack, and more, to automate my workflow and sync my data. I also like that Airtable enables me to share and collaborate on my projects with my team, stakeholders, and clients. Airtable is a tool that adapts to my workflow, not the other way around.

Cons
Scalability: Airtable has some limits on the number of records, fields, views, and attachments per base, which can affect the performance and functionality of large and complex projects.

Efficient but Frustrating
I used it at my previous company as a tracker with my team. One member who is very savvy with software set it up as it isn’t easy to get started. Once the framework was in place it served it’s purpose but any additions or revisions to the format were cumbersome.
Pros
Once set up, it’s easy to enter data and keep organized.

Airtable truly is a powerful database for the rest of us.
I run our entire company on Airtable. It started small and got bigger and more complex over the years. I could not have done it with any other similar platform. A tiny bit of coding can make your life on Airtable even easier—and the best part is that ChatCPT can write those lines of code for Airtable in no time. It's a dream-come-true.

Airtable is a MUST have for business and for life!
I love Airtable and have been a user for about seven years. I use it daily for my business and my personal life. It keeps everything organized just the way I like it. The visual customization of the tables is crucial for someone like me who is a visual learner. Now with the introduction of ChatGPT I can expand my Airtable functionality by providing scripts and formulas that I otherwise would not be able to create.
Pros
I love almost everything about Airtable. It's functionality is unmatched and I love the customization that's available. The automations are a life saver.
Cons
I hate the cost. It's unbearably expensive for a one-person business who needs to have their clients be able to use the platform. It would be easier to digest if collaborator billing was on a tiered plan or if the admin/owner price was slightly higher to avoid making collaborators billable.

Totally Worth It
Great experience using this app. Easy to collaborate with your team and really simple to use. The AI feature is also really neat. Helps bring out the creativity in everyone and definitely makes for more interesting and valuable projects.
Pros
I enjoyed the ease of use for this software. The simplicity and design of the webpage is very pleasant. I liked how easy it was to collaborate with coworkers and manage projects together. All around a great app!
Cons
The only thing is the limitations with the different plans that there are. Seems like once you upgrade, you have to give up some tools to get different ones. Other than that it is still great.

Powerful and Flexible Tool
We use Airtable on a daily basis and recommend it to all of our clients
Once you gain the knowledge to use it, it becomes a really powerful tool
The learning curve is a bit steep though
Pros
It can be as complex or as simple as you make it, really flexible tool
Cons
The learning curve was hard, especially when dealing with the API

Gamechanger
Airtable started off as a useful productivity tool but has quickly turned into a one-stop shop, doing almost everything I need for strategy and tracking in one place.
Pros
I have had the opportunity to use Airtable on multiple video production teams, and it has made project/production coordination a breeze. The ability to track tasks and statuses and to have different views into project details has been incredibly helpful in keeping us on point and on budget. It is also very useful for reviewing project efficiency and profitability after the work is complete.
Cons
Because it has expanded so much over the past few years, it's gotten a bit of a learning curve - but Airtable has done a good job of providing support for that.

Complex to set up but a delight to use
I have Airtable set up for a few specific functionalities, mostly tracking finances and my sales funnel. For the finances one, it was really tricky to get it set up, and I needed help. Once it was up though, I love how easy it is to use, and how it compiles data across the tables to give me the important data.
Pros
Easy to use (once it's set up) for a wide variety of projects
Cons
It's really hard to set up for more complex purposes

Handy Collaboration Software for Remote Teams
We've been very happy with the service from Airtable for managing some of our tasks and collaborative environments. It has a very intuitive design, you can just pick it up and start using it as soon as, and it basically requires no setup which was good for our IT resources. Other than that, it's reasonably priced, and maintains good performance even when a few people are working on the same sheet at the same time. Very happy overall.
Pros
We really enjoy having a lot of different features available that we can explore, mainly stuff like document management, database, and data workflows. It lets you cover different needs without having to get a few separate tools and ten have to sync them together. The ability to consolidate all those feature sunder one roof is also good for the budget of course.
Cons
I'm not sure if it rises up to the level of tools like Monday and Asana for project management. There aren't as many project customization options and it tends to get a bit all over the place when the number of projects starts to increase. It would be good to have more views for projects and more customizations on the project level.
