Airtable Reviews: 4.6/5 — Highly Rated

Easy to use for team collaboration. We're able to easily communicate with each other through the app and see what everyone is doing.

Nothing! It's a significantly easier platform to use than anything else we previously had tried to use or investigated.

We're able to create an easy to use and edit content calendars that allow for all functions of our organization to see what will be coming up both for our website and all our social media channels. It has made collaboration so much easier than we were previously able to do so.

the user experience and ease of creating a database (which is completely flexible and can accommodate several different uses), the easy connectivity to multiple collaborators and the no fuss experience with uploading different files/attachments to the various records

It is kind of perplexing that there is no offline option, since that seems rather basic and would be a real game changer for field work (I would also appreciate if there was a "single record view", much like filemaker pro)

We are building a database for academic research, and our different collaborators and students can easily contribute to it, as well as organize how those contributions are made

We switched to Airtable from using excel sheet as we are a global membership organization with team members located in different countries. It really helped us to share data on our projects and improve our workflow. It is really easy to use, secure and we can incorporate a lot of different lists into one base.

It takes some time to master all different options and features, but otherwise it is a great tool.

We can work simultaneously with another person without a problem. We could easily connect through automations to other programs we use (Typeform, Mailchimp).

The best aspects of this software are its ability to manipulate plan data into visually compelling and easily decipherable presentations to stakeholders. In addition, the database like nature of the software really helps me to connect all the differing sources of information to easily trace historical records.

I do wish that there were customizable cell types that would track the completion of tasks represented. Yes, there is checkbox feature. However, when tracking project tasks using Airtable, not all tasks are the same for any given project. Having a customizable field type that could allow for the insertion of customizable task lists would be useful. Essentially a checklist.

Currently, I'm using the software to manage the migration, course design, and revision process of online courses. This is proving to be a useful tool for simplifying this complex task.

The database function is perfect for what we need as a small business. Also, the ability to plan social media and assign to coworkers is great.

Currently have no complaints, its easy to use and very functional.

Database was our main aim for signing up with Airtable, but in discovering other uses, we are now using it for social media tracking and finance.

How easy it is to design what you need. Simple to set up and easy to change what needs to be adjusted.

No phone customer service. I had accidentally deleted my main base and was not able to call someone to get it back immediately. I was able to rebuild since I had just started using it. Email communication is pretty quick though.

Organizing medical records. Able to take all of our hard copy forms and have a central location for them.

1) Very rapid deployment; 2) Powerful alternative to Google Sheets; 3) Incredibly easy to use. Airtable is a huge step-up from the single dimension of Google Sheets. It saved our volunteer-run non-profit serving many low-income youth from imploding during a very busy time.

We are still learning Airtable's, so some of these may simply be items we haven't yet discovered. 1) For our needs, a mail-merge integration (such as YAMM on Google Sheets) would be very useful (we'd like to not use GS altogether); 2) Need to format colors, fonts, etc. on a per-cell, per column, or per-row basis; 3) Would love to set and limit the options on Single Select from items on a separate table.

1) Facilitating team collaboration; 2) Works very well with other cloud-based apps using Zapier; 3) Been using primarily as a database, but project management and other features will come in very handy.

Airtable is flexible and easily customizable which is perfect for a young organization that is constantly evolving our systems and processes. It isn't as overwhelming as a huge system would be, but allows us to flexibly link records and create external views.

I wish you could mass-edit records using the checkbox and it would be amazing to be able to email through the system.

We use it as a CRM and ATS. It saves us a lot of messy excel sheets and using email to manage processes.

AirTable has allowed our nonprofit organization to put important and diverse data for our various programs in grantmaking and professional development in one place. Instead of working off of various Excel sheets, we are able to stay organized, streamlining project tasks, outcomes, and disparate details. It's easy to use and has a clean design as well. We appreciate the ability to visualize things differently such as spreadsheet, kanban, or calendar views.

We don't have any real issues with AirTable, but certainly we had to invest some time to best understand and consider best practices for linking data within a base.

In a field where nonprofit organizations often face challenges relating to staff capacity, AirTable has allowed our organization to maximize our staff time and reduce email communication.

We like the simplicity of Airtable and ease of use.

With the time that we have spent so far using Airtable, one wish would be to have the bases connected.

We were using too many spreadsheets that were not connected. Airtable allows us to consolidate our information to a centralized location from where our team can collaborate.

The ability to link anything and everything to everything else, without being complicated and cumbersome. I can get the info I need quickly and easily.

Just one thing...Airtable isn't HIPAA compliant...yet. I work in Healthcare Information Technology (HIT), and I'm still using it in my organization, but not to it's full potential. Once it becomes HIPAA Certified, there will be nothing to dislike.

A level or organization and collaboration like never before, especially with project management.

- Ability to allow various linking for the different tables - Ease of view access, kanban + gallery are my fav after grid view - Collaborators can easily maneuver and edit the various pages

- no capability to insert time - timeline does not allow usage of AM/PM only duration

- CRM with Salespipeline and online database - Allow easy customization across industries

Airtable provides features that Google Forms avoids. The ability to upload files, and then review form data—including uploaded files—just like a spreadsheet is extremely convenient. The ability to color code entries (with Pro version) creates a quick-review of responses to target specific needs at a given time.

Where Airtable falls short is the lack of conditional logic in form responses (e.g. if respondent chooses D, then show this question). Google Forms has made this feature a standard, and yet Airtable seems to actively avoid implementing this functionality. That is truly disappointing.

Cataloging and managing information provided by students in a graduate degree program. By also accepting file uploads, Airtable allows us to create a one-stop student correspondence portal for graduate program administration.

As someone who has limited experience with databases, Airtable was a welcomed option. Easy, flexible, and simply looks great!

The things I dislike would have to be based more on my limited knowledge of dealing with databases and not so much with Airtable itself. Creating formulas is a bit of a learning curve but, again, that says more about me than the program.

As the lead teacher of a program aimed to lead high school kids towards a career in the health field, there's a mountain of data that I need to keep and cross-reference and present to not only the students but also to my team and administration. The ease with which Airtable can let me do this, to say nothing of the printable docs I could make for students and staff, has made this platform indispensable!

Airtable has an amazing ability to be adapted and shaped to fit a growing array of use cases.

Only a minor issue that the gallery, kanban and calendar views aren’t available in iOS version of the app.

Easy and simple visualisation of data is a massive benefit from using Airtable. From workflow processes to sprint showcases and printing hard copies, our team communication effectiveness is both streamlined and enhanced via Airtable.

Airtable has by far been one of the easiest tools to manage and complete tasks/ manage different spreadsheets and database. The filter options are great and the templates help make setting up easy.

We are in the trial phase so we have yet to come across something we don't like.

Our team has been searching for a tool that we can stay on top of team workflow and have transparency of progress and tasks. This tool has the ability to assign tasks to teammates and integrates and easy complete box to check off tasks that have been completed. This is also a great database for keeping all important spreadsheets in one location.

Linking records across tables saves us a huge amount of time assigning and tracking who has attended what trainings and who is has participated in presentations

Not much! It would be great to link across bases.

We do a huge number of outreach presentations with volunteers and staff. This has made a big difference in our ability to schedule and track who, when, and where we are doing presentations across multiple locations where our team is housed.

The versatility. I can see my content calendar as a grid or calendar with the click of a button. Within those views, I can customize the fields to anything I like, which is so helpful when managing multiple social platforms.

I wish records would auto sort by date and time, and I wish you could add a new record between two existing records. This is minor though!

We use Airtable exclusively for our content calendar. I'm able to manage and schedule our social media content as well as blog content in one program. I feel like I'm getting more done and doing less.

My team are used to working from excel spreadsheets, the UX of AirTable is not so far removed from excel that it threatens adoption.

My biggest (and it significant) issue is that linking data is not possible beyond the Base you're working from. This extremely limiting for projects that work across several departments. It's also very customization to the point that it can get rather complex very quickly.

Coordinating staff between two countries and managing projects to establish standardization of processes.

The sharability, intuitiveness, and design of Airtable allow it to be one of the most versatile data management tools.

Only some restrictions still exist, like being able to highlight different rows/columns.

Contact management for different email lists.

The tables can be very powerful and, when properly set up, provide a great way to communicate across the team about the status of specific projects.

If you're used to using regular spreadsheets, there are some limitations/differences that make Airtable confusing. There are also many features that require extra time spent to learn them and training the team.

We use Airtable to track inventory issues, project status, customer requests for products, and really anything else that you could use a basic "list" for that you want to give extra capabilities.

This platform allows you to store and manage a large amount of project data.

It doesn't sync to other platforms we use to store project files.

This platform serves as a location where many people can contribute and manage a large amount of data.

Airtable spread really quickly inside my organization because of how intuitive it is to use. The ability to sort and customize views of project plans made getting an operator’s view and a manager’s view really easy and clear.

Pricing was a little unclear. Something I’m sure they’ll figure out. I also wish it integrated more directly into google apps.

Project management, launch calendars

Airtable is an exceptional product. You can use it for almost anything you need, from a simple to-do list to a complicated spreadsheet. It has capabilities for custom sorting and applying any type of filter you can imagine. I really like the fact that I can integrate it with Slack so I get notifications in my Slack timeline when someone updates a task. It makes it easy to keep everyone up to date on how things are going without having to let them know in multiple locations.

The one dislike I have is their onboarding process. It is fairly annoying when you have been sent an invitation from someone to share a 'base' as they call them, and as soon as you create your account to login and access the base, you are shown multiple videos and 'helpful' tips that it would be nice to be able do dismiss and do later.

I've been using Airtable with a client of mine as a means of project management. It gives a way for both of us to keep track of what is being done as well as update the status and give any feedback. All from right there in the software.

I like the multiple views that Airtable provides -- I organize upcoming deadlines on the calendar, progress toward goals/projects in Kanban view, and meal prep recipes in grid view.

I wish Airtable had integration capabilities with the other platforms I use for work and for my personal life.

The business benefits Airtable provides include the ability to track progress toward common goals with teammates and colleagues without sending individual email or scheduling meetings to discuss each person's progress.

Airtable is entirely easy to manage the database. There are dozens of templates available for any intended use. You can create in your own account a number of databases and invite people to separate bases in the absence of access to everything. Also this service has an excellent mobile application, the functionality of which is at the highest level.

I believe that design can deserve a certain improvement. This is acceptable and easy to use, but in that case it is easy to use, so I would like to have the ability to merge records between databases.

With this platform, we have strong support, which constantly gives us the chance to process any content. We can add investments, large textual information or links to documentation in another table.

Using this platform I can organize our work in a very easy way. I like that platform because we can work more cooperation for individual projects and group of all style. The very useful platform which helps us to use this product for coordinate launches, plan new features, settle research, and stay on the one page.

Actually, I'm not complaining about that product. I really like all working process. Every step going well. Till now everything is good.

With this platform, we use it for all generally projects and were able to make the exact working process and appearance we needed via the team. We can get a much more concrete snapshot of our working group, enabling us to staff people to the right projects and giving them excellent ability to increase.

What I like most about Airtable is its quality. It is convenient and easy to use without sacrificing too much functionality. This allows the user to create a database from scratch or use predefined templates that allow for rapid development. The basics are intuitively laid out, so that when you first use it, you configure it quickly and clearly

If the company is big, the price justifies itself, but for a small company it would be desirable to price cheaper. Also, it would be nice to have a downloadable version of the desktop.

Currently, I use this to manage the workload in my team, as well as to manage content and manage individual projects. It was easy to work in my team, and different views were useful, so they could only see their tasks.

Very easy tool to organize, plan, coordinate upcoming content, events, campaigns, websites and other projects.

The tool does not allow you to link items from different bases, only can link items from tables within the same base.

Airtable helps everyone and everything stay organized and helps us stay on track of projects, makes it easier to plan and organize content and campaigns. Project and task management is much easier. Airtable allows the marketing team to have a single place to keep track of everything that's going on and coming up so we can see timelines and statuses, assess bandwidth, identify gaps in content/campaigns, etc.

As an Operations Manager at a startup where process and rules are changing on a daily basis, AirTable has helped me organize my task list and manage my "internal clients" and their massive expectations.

Still a beginning user, so I may just be missing available tools, but I'd like to be able to trigger reminders when due dates are coming up for certain sprints/projects. Other than that, AirTable is even more helpful that I imagined.

Organization and expectation setting. It has allowed me to group my projects together in multiple helpful views and let other teams realize exactly what I was working on, what my priorities were, and why some requests take longer than they hoped/expected.
