Airtable reviews

I like Airtable because it's easy to work with and allows a lot of customisation.

That I can't share views externally without the user getting access to the base,

I like many things about Airtable, but if I had to choose one, I would say I like its flexibility. Airtable allows you to create and customize your own bases, tables, fields, views, and layouts to suit your specific needs and preferences.

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.

- 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

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!

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.

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). The development team had to recreate another page for the users to use instead of the bugged one.

It’s user-friendly, with drag-and-drop features and templates that streamline project management across various industries.

Additionally, it lacks native automation capabilities compared to other platforms, requiring third-party integrations for complex workflows.

It’s collaboration tools, customizable views and automation and integration is the most I like about AIRTABLE.

Pricing and scalability and offline functions are not that great

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.

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.

The best feature of Airtable, in my opinion, is its unparalleled flexibility in organizing and visualizing data. The combination of a spreadsheet-style interface with the power of a relational database opens up a world of possibilities. The ability to create custom views, link records, and collaborate in real-time makes it a dynamic tool for projects of any scale.

The pricing structure, especially as the team size grows, can become a consideration. More transparent pricing tiers or additional features in the lower tiers could enhance accessibility for smaller teams or individual users.

I appreciate the adaptability. With the help of drop-down menus, department-specific colors, and the ability to sort data by any number of criteria, I can easily organize my data into useful chunks. Though I'm only just getting started with Airtable, I'm enjoying my time with it and am looking forward to learning all there is to know about it.

It can be cumbersome to keep track of which users have access to certain databases and tables, therefore you may prefer to use a different platform when communicating with stakeholders.

LOVED AIRTABLE AND WOULD 10/10 RECCOMEND. Soooo useful for project management to see where you are in the project, what needs to be done, and when things are due. AMAZING for collaboration! We used it for our recruitment team for our candidate tracking database. We used it every day to track where they were in the process if they were advancing to the next step, or if we needed to reject them. We linked their GH and LI pages for easy contact as well. Additionally, we used Airtable for our 2023 project tracker and were able to easily organize tasks within groups such as GH management, DEI initiatives, and CRM. It was easy to see what our team was working on, completing or planning to complete.

It is pretty tricky to figure out how to use it at first but there are many trainings to watch to learn. This is probably my only concern with Airtable, everything else is great.

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!

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.

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.

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.
