speeds up work processes

Comentários: It facilitates the creation of an application and also the ease of working as a team but with everyone in their workplace without the need to be all together in the same place.

Vantagens:

It allows you to organize all the information in a more efficient and orderly way in a database that can be accessed by all authorized members and thus everyone can work in a more connected way with an updated database, it is easy to access and the creation of applications within Airtable They are quick to create to put good use to the needs that are required.

Desvantagens:

Its price seems a little expensive to me, it is the only thing that I feel that they exaggerate with its price because the rest of the operation is in perfect working order.

Best no-code database for non-technical users

Comentários: Airtable is my choice for nocode relational databases and it's surprisingly

Vantagens:

Great concept of modern nocode database Simple yet so powerful Connectivity

Desvantagens:

Interfaces are not great and face some limitations IMO Record limits and pricing are a bit demanding for entrepreneurs and SME's

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: Airtable is featured in other tools integrations more often

Downhill

Vantagens:

I have been an Airtable user for years, and have always been impressed with its ease of use and the pace of improvements to the product itself.

Desvantagens:

Airtable has recently suffered from a lack of customer support while simultaneously (in my experience) a higher rate of usability issues/bugs. Now, they've changed their pricing structure to revoke email support from the lowest priced tier. They expect users to be able to solve their own problems via the community discussion boards and less-than-sufficient/often outdated self help articles/pages. If there was a robust library of documentation, this might be acceptable, but there is not. We might consider upgrading to the higher tier of service, but I have submitted at least 5 contact forms to speak with a salesperson, but have not received any outreach from their sales team. I suspect we will have no choice but to abandon Airtable, since we use it for critical business operations and cannot risk having it break without any customer support to troubleshoot, but also we have been unable to get in touch with any salesperson to upgrade to the higher-level accounts that come with email support.

Big Shame...

Comentários: 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.

Vantagens:

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.

Desvantagens:

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.

Razões para escolher o Airtable: Trello doesn't have proper custom fields and airtable has customizable interfaces.

Software anterior: Trello

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: it looked better, but at this point we're moving away from airtable to something with customer service.

Effective Record Management

Comentários: Overall experience with Airtable has been excellent. Once a base has been built and records created, it provides quick and easy access to information. My uses have included home inventory, travel planning, and member/volunteer management.

Vantagens:

Airtable allows for easy organization of data. It's simple to create a base and customize it for retention and retrieval of records and information. The ability to upload documents and include website links is terrific.

Desvantagens:

Limitations on the number of records in the free version.

Alternativas consideradas anteriormente: Microsoft Excel

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: Database format is more verstatile than a spreadsheet for manipulation of large numbers of records.

Powerful and Flexible Tool

Comentários: 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

Vantagens:

It can be as complex or as simple as you make it, really flexible tool

Desvantagens:

The learning curve was hard, especially when dealing with the API

Power-featured tables

Comentários: Airtable offers the ease of use and is less time consuming to do simple actions than Microsoft Excel

Vantagens:

Simplicity, design and power of the IA powered tools.

Desvantagens:

Pricing can be a little bit expansive for growing teams.

Great tool for nonprofit donation drive management

Comentários: 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.

Vantagens:

- 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

Desvantagens:

I have nothing bad to say about this product!

An excellent organizational tool for teams

Vantagens:

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.

Desvantagens:

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.

Versatile,simple and robust software

Vantagens:

Airtable is an easy to use software which allows us to link fields from different tables,The fact that it offers thousands of templates is just incredible.Another thing I like is that it integrates with other applications making it the best in it's field as well as enhancing efficiency.

Desvantagens:

It can perhaps be slower to run with a large data set.

Why I use Airtable to store my data

Comentários: I run a site called Wikihospitals, and display international health technology services. This data all needs to be linked together, so I can see information like country of origin, founder's details, technology used and medical specialty covered. Airtable was a great discovery for me. I can shared my data easily, embedded it into my website and am now transforming it into a fully fledged directory site.

Vantagens:

Before Airtable, pre formatted databases were costly platforms to subscribe to, and extremely difficult to create from scratch (for the non coder). Airtable is just dead easy to use. It looks like a spreadsheet but behaves like a database. You can import or export data as a CSV file. You can share a link or embed a view into you website using iframe code. It is also lightning fast. You can link any number of different 'sheets' together. You can selecting different types of 'fields' ie numerical, date, multiple select, calculations, upload document etc. You can also display your data in a range of 'views' from maps to calendars to gallery views of pie and bar charts.

Desvantagens:

When using the embed code option, it doesn't show that well on a mobile device. Apart from that, it's really the perfect software for people with a large amount of data and no code skills.

Great Amalgamation of a Spreadsheet & Database

Comentários: I have used AirTable in several areas of my life, but the best example is with a high school program I volunteer with. We have 150 students with 15 advisors, with over 100 data points, in 20 locations. Prior to AirTable, keeping track of everything was a nightmare. Something as simple as trying to contact a student involved either all advisors adding all 150 students into their phone contact list (and update every year) or calling the lead advisor who had to look through a stack of papers to find a number. With AirTable it was as simple as typing in their name and pressing their cell number which automatically dialed them up. I could go on and on about how much AirTable has changed the way I do many aspects of my business and personal life, this was just an example to show how easy it makes things.

Vantagens:

The fact that basically all database applications I tried were basically meant for enterprise-level businesses, and generally required a steep learning curve to even set up. I only needed basic database functionality, and to be able to easily edit single or groups of entries. AirTable solved this perfectly. Also, the team over there seem to be constantly adding on new functionality, which I see and realize that could solve problems I did not even realize I had. The best part is just how easy it is to use. I have some people on my team that are far from tech-savvy, and with a quick overview, they were even able to utilize it.

Desvantagens:

Their forms have a bit to be desired, but that is mostly just the appearance when I send them out. Also when sorting and filtering, it requires 3 or so clicks, when I think they could make it one.

Alternativas consideradas anteriormente: Oracle Database e Microsoft Excel

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: Other products were too complicated to set up and use effectively, So I did not use them. AirTable is really in a class of its own as far as I can tell.

Airtable enables to keep track of the entire project management process

Comentários: Airtable is my favourite project management platform that provide extensive features about project management and covers all our needs during development process.

Vantagens:

Airtable connects our team to each other during the project development process and makes it possible to work in syncronization. Project manager can define the roles and the permission of each particular team member in a very flexible way.

Desvantagens:

Customer support is late to respond to the cases that we have created in support center and pricing plans are not flexible, 4 static pricing plans are not sufficient for this kind of a feature rich platform. User should be able to select the limits in a more flexible way.

Alternativas consideradas anteriormente: Bynder

Razões para escolher o Airtable: Airtable's features met our company specific project management needs better then Bynder.

Software anterior: Bynder

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: Airtable was a better match to our specific needs in terms of project management.

Once You Start Using Airtable, You'll never use Excel Again!

Comentários: My experience has been amazing. I don't see myself ever switching to another type of software again and I for sure am going to upgrade it to use it even more.

Vantagens:

Where to even begin! I love how it's the 21st century excel spreadsheet. I can collaborate and keep track of clients and projects all under one document. I also, love how it live updates and the amount of features that airtable could give my company keeps growing. Because it's such a broad type of software I can customize it to exactly my needs and exactly my preferences.

Desvantagens:

There are some limitations with the advanced features, but that is understandable because the free version (which I use) is already so powerful that I can't believe they are offering it for free.

Alternativas consideradas anteriormente: Google Sheets e Microsoft Excel

Razões para escolher o Airtable: I needed something that didn't require someone to have a Microsoft account and that could be on my phone or on my computer or where I was.

Software anterior: Microsoft Excel

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: I wanted something that had pre-made templates and something that could be shared to anyone on any device.

Longtime Airtable User

Comentários: I hands down would not be able to track my incoming flow of client work without Airtable. It was a final solution to a really big problem. It's easy on the eyes and easy to compartmentalize my project workflow.

Vantagens:

The simplest form of using Airtable is still so much better than using Excel Spreadsheets. Airtable is fairly easy to use, however, does take a bit of time to learn about so many of the features it has to offer. I could probably apply more time in learning how it could further benefit the way I use it every day in my business.

Desvantagens:

I do find there are SO MANY great features, it might be nice to have an onboarding specialist... heck I've been such a long-time user maybe they have this. Their customer support is top-notch and quick to respond to any requests.

Alternativas consideradas anteriormente: monday.com e ClickUp

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: I had seen these other products about a year into using Airtable and was pretty content with my current situation, I took a look at ClickUp and it just seemed too bloated for what I needed. Monday also. Airtable is just a lot easier to use in a simple manner or a more complex manner when you are ready for it.

Airtable

Comentários: I love Airtable. I can't leave it for any other alternative out there, free and whatnot. Our data is easily accessible, trackable and so much easier to manage and manipulate with real-time impact.
Airtable functions smoothly within our workflows, it's easy to manage, and is highly scalable. We love it.

Vantagens:

Automations! Automating workflows is very important for my business because we are very few and manage a huge customer base. This takes a lot off our plates and we can focus more on the tasks we can't automate. Workflows such as weekly digests, where we send a different message to customers in different views, with specific data respective to each group. For us, automation is the real deal!

Desvantagens:

I can't really complain about Airtable's shortcomings to be really honest. But I guess that's just me. However, one problem I assume new users face though is the realization that they still need a lot of their Excel and spreadsheet skills here with Airtable formulas. It is not as friendly in that department to inexperienced users. I suppose that could be a con for new users not proficient with Excel sheets or spreadsheets in general.

Alternativas consideradas anteriormente: Google Sheets

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: Airtable is Google Sheets on Steroids! It just offers a lot more and is very affordable.

All-in-one product for marketing & information management

Vantagens:

We use Airtable as almost anything. If you are familiar with Airtable, you know that it can be anything. Just to name a few: Marketing task management Document and resource listing Forms for recruiting or surveys Content planning CRM Documenting any sort of research Visualising simple data Expense tracking

Desvantagens:

Airtable's some of the premium features are not very clear. So sometimes you have to stuck in some free features without knowing that you are already over capacity. However, using this product with free option for about 2-3 years in 2 different company so far. It's great! I also use Airtable for personal stuff like school applications, job hunting, and document/resource listing.

Razões para escolher o Airtable: Excel is useless for task or project management.

Software anterior: Microsoft Excel

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: Airtable is great with free option.

Data collection powerhouse & beautiful intuitive forms

Comentários: I love everything about Airtable and it’s an invaluable part of my business operations. I use it daily. I have created so many forms and I used multiple other software‘s in the past to collect data from my students. I found that every single other software that I used had limitations and costs associated with it that just continue to go up the more forms I created. The thing I love the most about Airtable is that it has a beautiful interface, it’s free to use, and I don’t ever lose access to my data.

Vantagens:

I love everything about the forms in Airtable. They are completely customizable. They populate the data in an easy-to-read spreadsheet. It sends me automatic notifications every time that someone fills out a form. It keeps all of my systems and my school organized because I have a form for everything and there are no limits on how many forms I can have it really has allowed me to create a beautiful system of collecting data.

Desvantagens:

There’s a ton of features in Airtable that I don’t use. I think when I first started I spent a long time trying to figure out how I can use their other features. However, I don’t think that every feature that they have is worth using. However, since there is no cost to Airtable that doesn’t matter.

"Airtable: The Most Powerful Tool for Teams Looking for Efficient Data Management and Collaboration"

Comentários: My overall experience with Airtable has been extremely positive, It is an incredibly powerful yet easy-to-use online platform that allows teams to quickly create and manage databases, build powerful automations, collaborate on projects, and much more, The intuitive interface and variety of features make it an ideal tool for teams looking for an efficient way to manage their data and workflows, Airtable is an invaluable resource that I would highly recommend to any team looking to streamline their processes.

Vantagens:

I really appreciate how intuitive and easy-to-use Airtable is, It has a simple, user-friendly interface that makes it easy to quickly create and manage databases, collaborate with team members, and build powerful automations, It also offers a variety of integrations with popular cloud storage solutions and third-party apps, making it a great tool for teams looking for an efficient way to manage their data and workflows.

Desvantagens:

The one thing I like least about Airtable is that some of the more advanced features can be a bit confusing to use, particularly for users who are new to the platform, However, Airtable does offer great documentation and tutorials to help users get up and running quickly.

Alternativas consideradas anteriormente: Knack e Zoho Creator

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: We chose Airtable over the other products because it offered the best combination of features and price, It has a simple, intuitive interface that allows us to quickly create and manage databases, build powerful automations, collaborate with team members, and much more, It also has great integrations with popular cloud storage solutions and third-party apps, as well as a variety of tools for managing data, Also the pricing was very reasonable, making it an affordable solution for teams of all sizes.

Seamless Organization and Automation

Comentários: Airtable has transformed our workflow. It lets us organize, manage, and automate our projects and tasks in a way that's tailored to our unique needs. The customization options are endless, and we've created the perfect interface for every project. We plan to continue to expand our use of Airtable and are actually now hiring a new team member to look after data, which I suspect will further our use of Airtable.

Vantagens:

We love Airtable's outstanding automation and linking features. Automating repetitive tasks and connecting our data to other platforms has been a breeze, saving us a lot of manual work. The interface is so user-friendly that it hardly feels like we're dealing with a database. We can easily create custom views for different projects, and it's great to be able to adjust the interface to meet our specific needs. I personally really like the calendar and kanban views, and the easy to build dashboards and highly flexible interfaces. These have allowed us to modernize old processes.

Desvantagens:

Initially, there was a bit of a learning curve with Airtable. But once we got the hang of it, the possibilities seemed endless and we want to integrate it even further into our work. The only real con we’ve encountered has to do with the need to add collaborators to a base, and accordingly the cost associated with this.

Alternativas consideradas anteriormente: Salesforce Sales Cloud e Google Sheets

Razões para escolher o Airtable: Asana was great for project tracking, but Airtable does so much more. We prefer a smaller number of tools.

Software anterior: Asana

Razões para mudar para o Airtable: We chose Airtable due to its versatility. The customization of views, linking between records, and automation capabilities make it stand out. The user interface is also more visually pleasing and intuitive than a typical spreadsheet or CRM.

A spreadsheet is a spreadsheet, right? Wrong!

Comentários: I love it so much I support it financially, which is a big deal for me. I'm a very small business and a monthly subscription is always viewed suspiciously. But I love how they are constantly building in new features that make it more and more usable. Things I didn't even know I wanted until it existed. And there is a free option! I just wanted access to the premium features. I'm currently using it for:
-production queue
-development outlines and goal setting
- inventory tracking linked with vendor management
- galleries of photos incorporated on my website and on Facebook
- managing home chores and tasks
- keeping track of any number of personal and professional lists

Vantagens:

I like this software so much that I pay for it monthly, and I don't consider 25 a month "cheap" for me. But it has been so useful that I can't imagine not having access to all the features. It's complicated to say what I like most because that entails an explanation of what it does. It basically combines spreadsheets with databases and then allows you to view your data in a multitude of customizable ways. And share just the parts you want to share, or all of it. You can also add collaborators or have clients input information directly through forms. You can take all of this and embed it on your website or on facebook. The various views can be a gallery of photos, or a more standard spreadsheet, or you can output it to lists like an address list, or set it up to print labels of just the records you want to include. You can use it for project management and production queues, keeping track of vendors or clients, sorting and updating inventories. It's really brilliant to the point that I've moved away from other spreadsheet programs, task management systems and photo gallery software in favor of using Airtable.

Desvantagens:

It's not perfect! There are a few things I haven't figured out how to do or it's fairly clunky still. But much of that is my own lack of skill in certain areas. I'd love to utilize API but I'm still too much of a novice to really figure it out. Once I do, though, I feel like it will take my website to another level. One of the features is the ability to take a group of records and output it into a format you create. It would be great if there were some templates available for this sort of thing, but I'm not even sure how that could be implemented. It could just be my own laziness!

Wonderful solution to spreadsheets, needs more restrictive access, tech support needs improvement.

Comentários: We can have many views of the same data in one place without duplicating the data. Each person can have their own view based on the data they need to see. The biggest benefit we've had is time saving and the ability to access this data anywhere, at any time.

Vantagens:

Last year I was on the search for a solution to replace XLS and found Airtable. Previously we were using microsoft xls, as we found even GoogleDocs didn't work for our purpose. We produce hundreds and up to thousands of products for one event and previously used xls to keep track of production and for by line item invoicing purposes. The ability to have all the data in one spreadsheet but then filter things out in a specific view that allows you to see only what you want is useful and makes it so you don't have to have multiple spreadsheets with the same data. For example we have an invoicing view, that's filtered easily to show costs. Then a post event inventory view where clients can see what they can use for next event. We also have a QC view where our team members can easily QC the product without all the unnecessary data in their view/way. We also use filters to easily show us what still needs to be approved and what is left to be produced for the event. It's a been a great way for us to manage large scale projects and our clients love it. Also, the fact that it has a phone app is helpful to us since we work events, we are constantly on the road traveling and not always at a computer. The ability to download the spreadsheets is simple also, so when I need to create an XLS file to accompany our invoice, this is simple and easy for me to do.

Desvantagens:

The #1 priority for improvement that every Airtable user complains about is the lack of restrictive access. Access is "all or nothing" so if I give my clients "Read" access, they're only limited to one view and can't edit or note anything. If we give them "Edit" access they are able to edit anything in our entire database, including our pricing, so that doesn't work. We want, for example, a customer to be able to go and note/change info for one column and not be able to add/remove anything. For example they could go in and put "approved" for a line item that they approve for production, but can't change any cells not in that column. I'm not confident in their tech support at this time . Recently we had some data loss issues that created mass concern. We added data to specific cells in an existing spreadsheet, and the next day the data was gone. Airtable keeps record of any change in a cell and there was no record of us ever entering the data, like it never happened. We provided specific examples and their explanation of "packet loss" on our end makes zero sense. Based on data that we entered that day, we added a photo, then added a date, photo, then date... all the photos stuck, the dates did not, so it would mean that every other second a packet data loss happened? They still haven't given a suitable answer to this, and if you can't rely on the data you enter being there, that's made us think twice about moving to the paid version, which we were about to.

Most powerful and flexible project management tool ever

Comentários: Airtable became my one stop shop for managing data / projetcs / processes - no more spreadsheets.

Vantagens:

Most pleople start Google Sheets or Excel when they need to "control" something (a projetct, to-do list, CRM, content calender, inventory, etc). Airtable is a perfect tool to replace this: it has the "spreadsheet" feel, making it so easy to start, but it can go much further than a spreadsheet, both in terms of the amount of dimensions you are able to control and reports you can easily generate. You can scale it to a full ERP and CRM system, step by step, customized exacly the way you want.

Desvantagens:

The inability to link data from multiple bases . So you either have to build a giant base or you have to duplicate data in different bases. There has been some positive developments on this front, though.
