Airtable Likes & Dislikes
Airtable is extremely adaptable for different uses, and the basics are simple to understand. I especially like the user forums and shared templates. When there is a function I need that Airtable can't do, or that is locked behind a higher tier, there is usually a decent workaround or another free product/service that can be integrated. Love being able to copy/paste data in and out of Airtable. Great support team, and I appreciate the NPO discount!
I really like the design of this product and that the tables that I created here are easy to read. It was also easy to create a new tables.
The different ways to share and interact with Airtable bases makes it really easy to collaborate with different teams. Interfaces allow us to create some unique, visual and branded for folks to go straight to their important data without needed to see the entire base structure. Airtable is also colorful and makes great use of whitespace! One of the features we like is all the different ways to expand the base - thru extensions, apps, scripts and more. This is a step above a normal online sheet.
1 - The billing levels and account types are confusing and don't seem to match expanding user needs - for example, many of my professional contacts in event management and education now use Airtable (managing conventions, retreats, certification programs, etc.) but it's prohibitively expensive to add more members of the project team for access to the few features they'd use like updating extant records from a survey, automating messages and updating timelines and assignments, commenting/reviewing records, or sharing interfaces. How I use it, paying by user access and desired functions (interfaces, surveys, commenting/marking items complete) doesn't make sense; billing based on storage space or number of 'active' bases would be better. 2 - Exporting multiple files is a terrible experience, requiring all the files to be individually re-named. Fine for one or two, but bulk downloads quickly become burdensome. 3 - The learning curve from Excel to Airtable is comparatively high. Though we don't seem to be the typical client in how we use it, it would be nice to have simple workflow examples and how-to guides for project managers and less tech-savvy team members. 4 - Interfaces have so much potential to act as mini storefronts, provide data collection, personalize the end-user experience, and share information internally and externally. They are functionally hobbled by the most useful features being locked to higher tiers since we can't justify moving to the Enterprise level. Being able to allow customers (Board/committee members, staff on other teams) to use an interface like a website guest without a paid account would revolutionize my life. Truly, interfaces and surveys to collect/update/display data set Airtable apart from many other similar data management tools.
- not enough functions - other software has more complex functions that fit my needs - Sometimes there were technical problems
It does take some training to get used to it - there's so many features within Airtable that you can't learn it all in one day. Having a good relationship with your account team is key!

Success & Barriers in Adopting Airtable for Project Management of Events & Education Programs
Robust platform with many use cases, responsive to user inquiries and support needs, great resources to help with learning new workflows or scaling, integrates easily with other workflows and services, decent AI assistant and capabilities. Trigger actions are great, and I love the surveys and interfaces. Additional display options would be nice, like greater flexibility in building schedules in a view rather than creating an interface. - ANALYST10B+ USDConsumer GoodsReview Source
Airtable Offers Advanced Collaboration and Customizable Visual Interfaces for Data Access
Airtable has so many features that I can't even begin to explain how useful it has been. We have been developing a product workflow tool within Airtable, leverage forms, automations, interfaces and more. The API documentation has been very useful in getting us to push data into Airtable on a regular cadence. Support is also great and we get responses in a very timely manner from them. Our stakeholders love Airtable for its visual design (color coding, whitespace) and customizable branding. It's not your normal grayscale sheet! - BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE<50M USDSoftwareReview Source
Flexible, visual and collaborative platform for OKR management
Airtable has been an excellent platform for managing our KPIs and OKRs across multiple teams. Its flexibility and visual interface make it easy to track objectives, align key results, and monitor progress in real time. While some advanced reporting could be enhanced, Airtable has already improved transparency, accountability and cross team collaboration, for us implementing it has streamlined our goal setting process. Teams clearly see objectives, update key results, and share progress in a single, flexible platform. - MARKETING ASSOCIATE10B+ USDConsumer GoodsReview Source

Airtable Streamlines Creative Request Management and Project Workflow Visualization
From a marketing work management perspective, Airtable is far more than a spreadsheet, it's a single source of truth. We have only begun to tap into the potential efficiencies that Airtable can bring to our organization. From an intake management standpoint, we have used it to handle creative requests from multiple departments in an efficient manner that streamlined the work being sent to our in-house team.
