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!
Read Full ReviewI 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.

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.

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. - CONTENT MARKETING MANAGER<50M USDIT ServicesReview Source
Airtable Facilitates Task Assignment And Content Workflow For Editorial Teams
I started using Airtable almost two years ago. The major use case was content map management. We had built an extensive content map with hundreds of entries, and we needed to update them, assign tasks to writers and editors, manage content categories, accept content ideas from other teams, and do more in one tool. With Airtable, doing all these tasks was easy. It's more than spreadsheets - it's also a database for collaboration, tracking, and reporting. - SENIOR MANAGER, RESEARCH & INSIGHTS1B-10B USDMediaReview Source

Centralized Information Management Enhances Team Cohesion Amid Training Needs
I like the possibilities available. It can be hard when trying to organize multiple users in different locations but I believe with concentrated trainings, it can be very effective.
