Airtable Reviews & Product Details

We initially started using Airtable just to organize our database, but over time it became the core system behind how we run our operations. Our work includes helping Korean companies enter the Vietnam market, managing buyer databases, coordinating matching projects, and tracking follow-up actions. Before Airtable, our information was scattered across Excel files, Google Sheets, and separate documents, which made everything inefficient and difficult to manage.

After moving to Airtable, we were able to bring buyer databases, project status, task tracking, meeting records, and follow-up history together in one structured base. Once we learned to use linked records, lookups, and formulas properly, it stopped feeling like a simple list manager and started to feel like a real working system for the business.

From there, we expanded beyond database management into HR tracking, accounting-related management, inventory and operations tracking, and even content planning. We also connected Airtable with tools like Make.com, Google Docs, and Gmail to automate document generation and other repetitive workflows. Work that used to rely on manual copying, double-checking, and constant follow-ups became far more standardized and reliable.

One of Airtable’s biggest strengths is that a non-developer like me could build all of this. It’s a powerful product, but it still lets the people who actually understand the workflow design and run the system themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Airtable is a very good tool, but if you start using it without thinking through the structure, it can become complicated surprisingly fast. It looks simple at first, yet once you have many related tables and automations that keep growing, a poorly designed base quickly turns into something that’s hard to maintain. I went through a lot of trial and error myself.

As the amount of data increases and the setup gets more complex, performance and pricing can also become real concerns. There are times when permissions, or certain advanced capabilities, feel a bit limited for teams that rely on Airtable very heavily. So while it’s excellent for getting started quickly, if you want to use it as a company-wide operating system, you really need to design the architecture carefully from the beginning.

I like the advanced tools of Airtable as it is one of the best alternatives for MS Excel that we've used for our business earlier. After installing Airtable in our business, we're able to manage our finances in a much better way, and it is a more productive tool. While working on complex database and financial entries, Airtable helps us dealing with real-time editing in the spreadsheets. The team collaboration feature allows different members of the finance team to recheck all the transactions, increasing data accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I only struggled with the complex user interface of this software as it has advanced data management tools. It's was really difficult to learn everything in the beginning for new users without proper training. So we took help of youTube video sessions to learn it's functionality.

I use Airtable as the backbone for several operational and sustainability systems across multiple international sites within a regulated life sciences environment.

What started as structured inventory control has evolved into linked systems covering procurement governance, supplier mapping, waste consolidation and Scope 1–3 emissions tracking. The ability to build relational, auditable data structures without heavy IT involvement has been a major advantage.

Airtable gives me database-level capability while remaining flexible enough to adapt as reporting expectations evolve. I can design systems around how the organisation actually operates rather than forcing processes into rigid software templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I genuinely have very few issues with Airtable, but as bases grow and datasets become larger, performance can slow slightly if they are not structured well. In my experience, this is largely mitigated through thoughtful architecture, clean relationships and good data organisation, but it does require some planning as systems scale.

One area I would like to see improved is how AI fields handle incomplete inputs. When an AI field depends on multiple other fields, it can stop generating output if some of those fields are blank. It would be useful if the AI could instead produce a partial output and clearly state which information is missing, rather than failing entirely. That would make AI-driven workflows more resilient in real-world use where data is not always perfectly complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Airtable as an operational layer so I’m not scattered across emails, messages and loose excel sheets. I’ve set it up with basic databases, for resources, special assignments and waitlists, with views well filtered by status (confirmed, under review and so on). At a minimum, I am able to log in 5 minutes prior to a meeting and view all open case assignments without having to dig through email chain history. I re-enter RAs' updates into the system to record them in one centralized database location, allowing coordinators to view tasks by due date and person responsible without opening multiple excel sheets.

If there is a formal update to our main housing system and I forget to duplicate this update within Airtable, inconsistencies show up and information may be out of date. I'm aware I am only using the software at approximately 70% capacity, I could further automate functionality and develop more structured relationships between tables, but this would take hours of focused work.

What I like best about Airtable is how it blends the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a full database. Key features like customizable views (Kanban, Grid, Gallery, Calendar, ), linked records, and rich field types (attachments, formulas, rollups) make it easy to model almost any workflow. Automations, Interfaces, and native integrations (Jira, Slack, Zoom Workspace) reduce manual work, while real-time collaboration, permissions, and version history keep teams aligned. It’s flexible enough for non-technical users, yet powerful enough to scale into serious operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
