"Versatile Tool for Organized and Visually Appealing Data Management"
4/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

I like that Airtable offers so many features to build off of my own forms, organize data, and collaborate with others. It greatly improves on the standard spreadsheet for organizing information. I love the automatic color coding the most, as it makes the information more visually appealing and saves me time since I used to do this manually on other platforms. Airtable allows me to put more information into the form while maintaining visual appeal and without it becoming too messy or ugly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve for more of the advanced features. I have yet to figure out how to integrate them because I don't know if I have the time to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Advanced Database Solution That Outshines Excel"
4/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

For us airtable is a Advance Database that helps in storing our customers information and works like a spreadsheet or you can say that it's an advance version of MS Excel that manages different type of data in a format of rows and column along with informative analytics when they are compiled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

Applying formulas is one of the most difficult part according to my experience on this software because there are different type of formulas and you won't be able to understand where to use which formula and their user interface is also quite complex for beginners. You will need a proper training to understand it's usability professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Data Linking and Automation—Airtable Transforms Workflow"
5/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

Unlike Excel, where data is just text in a cell, Airtable lets you link records. You can link a "Task" to a "Project" and a "Client," ensuring that if you update the client's name once, it updates everywhere across your entire system.

Powerful Automations: You can set up "if-this-then-that" rules without coding. For example: "When a checkbox is marked 'Done,' send a Slack message and email the client a PDF." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

Every Airtable plan has a hard limit on the number of rows (records) per base. On the Free plan, it's 1,000; even the paid "Team" plan ($20/mo) caps at 50,000. If you are tracking massive amounts of data, you will hit these limits quickly and the price will jump significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable Dashboards with Smooth Setup"
4/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

I really like Airtable's customizable interfaces that turn a normal database into a customized app dashboard. The drag-and-drop feature for attachments makes adding files directly into each cell easy and clear. It's fun to use because of the vibrant colors and cool icons in its user-friendly visuals. Additionally, Airtable's advanced reporting and custom dashboards were key reasons for switching from Trello. The setup was easy too, thanks to its user-friendly design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

There's a huge difference between the free tier, which has limited records, and the paid tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Balance Between Form and Function"
5/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

Airtable’s best feature is the way it strikes that hard balance between form and function. I love how it takes a platform I'm already quite familiar and comfortable using for advanced requests Sheets/Excel and combines it with database functions and automations that are not only powerful, but easy on the eyes. Airtable bases and interfaces are gorgeous. I'm a huge fan of color coding and Airtable's UI is quite pleasing to work with for extended periods of time. I love how easily you can link records between tables to create incredibly detailed and layered databases and eventually, more robust and comprehensive data analysis and reporting. The interfaces and formsa are also game-changers and a huge upgrade to my previous go-to -- Google Forms. The custom dashboards are great for presenting information to folks that aren't dealing with the day-to-day data entry/clean-up and/or aren't as data-oriented and jsut want to see the big picture. Plus, the automations are a game-changer, especially for repetitive tasks like sending updates or reminders. I use Airtable exclusively and it has completely elevated my working style and my career aspirations. Airtable is so intuitive that it's made data-driven Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

One of the things I dislike is the limited permissions system. It's incredibly rigid and there isn't really a cost-effective way to share databases with non-paid users who need to make quick edits 1-2x per year. Airtable would benefit from more features/access for non-paid users invited to a specific interface or base, especially for those managing sensitive or varied data. Another weakness is the lack of built-in customizable PDF exports. Right now, to generate a PDF in Airtable, you need third party apps that can be quite costly and aren't all that user friendly. (The over reliance on these apps is also frustrating because it defeats the purpose of having a "one-stop-shop" for data/project management needs.)This makes it quite difficult to generate professional-looking reports from the tables or interfaces. While Airtable has some basic charting options, it’s not built for deep data analysis. Additionally, as your base grows, performance can start to lag, especially if you’re managing a high volume of records with lots of complex formulas or linked tables. Lastly, some advanced functions, like certain types of automations or conditional logic within forms, still feel limited compared to a full-scale database system.

"User-Friendly Data Management with Room for Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

I like the filter options in Airtable because it offers a good amount of bifurcation, allowing me to view data period wise and amount wise. This helps me filter under particular tags and easily rectify it with the books if it is properly maintained. Additionally, the initial setup was pretty good and user-friendly, enabling me to migrate data very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

I'm missing the filter option in the new table setup. If it is enabled in the new table, it will be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Platform with Easy Setup and AI Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

I like how Airtable seems to be a spreadsheet but acts as a database, giving multiple preview formats like charts. The learning curve is easy, and there's AI support for creation. I also appreciate that the free tier offers 1GB of attachment storage, which is sufficient for small businesses just starting out. The initial setup of Airtable was very easy, I would rate it 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

The attachment limit is 1GB, which could be increased. I also faced a bit of difficulty in mobile view for the website I created to showcase the products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible No-Code Tool for Tracking Projects, Budgets, and Requests"
5/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

Airtable is a very flexible, low code, no code tool. In my department we use it to track all of our projects, to track budget, and may other things. We have created forms that feed our project dashboard so requests that come in are tracked, assigned, and managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

There are not too many things that I dislike about Airtable. While it is no code, low code, it does take a bit of learning to build out certain aspects and sometimes, we are not able to do what we think we should be able to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Advanced Data Management Made Easy with Powerful AI Features"
4/5
What do you like best about Airtable?

One of the most advanced and smartest data management tool that I have ever used. As we have been using airtable from last 3 years and the AI based features that it has to organise and hold data on its cloud storage is on next level it is quite simple and easy to add different type of data which is done through table and sheets and get detailed Analytics when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airtable?

As earlier we used to do all the data storage and sheets maintenance on MS Excel but after we have started airtable the overall monthly cost of maintaining the software has also increased and the complex user interface is challenging for us to teach about it's usability to our new interns. This is a modern and feature packed platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
