A convenient spreadsheet-like database for your projects
I've used Airtable for many projects of mine mostly as my database. It's really convenient for small projects and the free tier is very generous.
Pros
The user experience of Airtable is really great. You can easily navigate through the app and find what you want. Also, I love how easily you can create relations between tables. Also the API documentation is perfect.
Cons
In the past versions of Airtable you could host assets (images etc.) in the cells and Airtable was providing a permanent URL for them. It seems that this features is gone now and I really miss it.

Airtable - the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the structured capabilities of a database
overall airtable helped our business grow exponentially not just because of its applications but it gave us the perspective about what database can do for a business and how simple it can be if we keep that way.
we used it for our app database as well, and it just worked fine bit slow but good for beta version.
Pros
What I love most: The intuitive interface makes it easy to customize views (grid, calendar, kanban, form) and build relationships between different tables. The automation features are a game-changer, saving me countless hours on repetitive tasks.
Who would benefit: Anyone looking for a more dynamic and collaborative way to manage data. It's perfect for teams of all sizes and across various industries.
Cons
One of the least best things about Airtable is its pricing. While there is a free plan, it has limitations on the number of records and storage space.
The paid plans can become expensive, especially for larger teams or those with extensive data needs. AI plans are also overpriced.
Reasons for Switching to Airtable
because of the platforms simplicity and large community network which is very open, can be taught easily, data sharing is very simple.- Industry: Entertainment

Efficient but Frustrating
I used it at my previous company as a tracker with my team. One member who is very savvy with software set it up as it isn’t easy to get started. Once the framework was in place it served it’s purpose but any additions or revisions to the format were cumbersome.
Pros
Once set up, it’s easy to enter data and keep organized.
Cons
Hard to set up and add to. Feels daunting and frustrating to use at first, not intuitive. Takes a long time to get used to for someone with average experience.

Airtable, easy to use platform
Overall a positive experience. User friendly, has many features, a marketplace for non-native challenges you may experience and good integrations with other software/API's.
Pros
It's like a user friendly version of Excel/Google Sheets if you are not overly comfortable with using spreadsheets, this makes it easy.
Cons
User level security permissions on base tables are lacking. Needs to be more granular.

Game Changer
Overall, it helped us automate a lot of our processes and work with large spreadsheets without the complications of Excel. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a low-code app to solve basic business needs.
Pros
Intuitive and user-friendly interface. It has powerful database capabilities with spreadsheet simplicity that is highly customizable with automations and integrations. The real-time collaboration and seamless team workflow allows it to scale with business needs. It was truly a game changer for my Small business.
Cons
Advanced features require higher tier plans that I was not aware of originally. Also, some integrations need third-party tolls like Zapier to fully unlock the power of Airtable.

Excellent application integration and fast database creation
Using Airtable, we are able to consolidate data for teams working in different locations, ensuring that everyone always has access to the most up-to-date information. I can organize and analyze seemingly impossible data on a spreadsheet with the help of Airtable, and I can even perform some really deep reasoning without knowing how to code.
Pros
I appreciate the adaptability. With the help of drop-down menus, department-specific colors, and the ability to sort data by any number of criteria, I can easily organize my data into useful chunks. Though I'm only just getting started with Airtable, I'm enjoying my time with it and am looking forward to learning all there is to know about it.
Cons
It can be cumbersome to keep track of which users have access to certain databases and tables, therefore you may prefer to use a different platform when communicating with stakeholders.

Airtable made me shine in my legal team
I am very satisfied, and the page I worked on with the help of Airtable gave me a lot of praise from my colleges. I presume this is because my colleagues where not familiar with Airtable (they thought it was only for finance managers) and I deployed it in a new way. I made a page with a couple subpages, where my colleagues can find monthly posts with short summaries of legal news about AI. For instance, what new EU legislation was passed, how AI affects company policies, etc. Even more, my team is planning to start more projects in Airtable:)
Pros
Firstly, the fact that you can deploy your creativity and the tools provided by Airtable allow you to. Honestly, I can't compare it to other products simply because I don't know any analogs. Google tables or Microsoft excel are far more boring to work with, and most importantly, don't give you the fictionality to be as creative as you want. By being creative I mean making tables that look aesthetically pleasing (not boring like excel), nicely design interfaces of your page, link different parts of one page to another one. Secondly, the way you can collaborate with you team is on another level compared to Airtables' rivals. Another advantage is the fact that you have two different interfaces. One that is published to everybody, and the other that is open only to you. I find this very useful.
Cons
Probably the fact that the website lags sometimes. This is especially visible when I switch between pages of my published base. It takes a second-two to load the page (my internet is super fast and my Mac is brand new so that's not the reason). Also, the guide that displays templates is not very useful if you don't intend to make a page about finance, hiring or managing teams. I made a page about laws governing the use of AI, but I ended up using a template for hiring people, which is a totally different topic, as I didn't have another option. Would be cool if the company broadened the topics of the templates and had some touching the topics of: blog posting, reviewing legislation, posting news.

It is another perspective on project management.
We have this platform in mind within our company because it easily adapted to what we were looking for, which is to be able to track everything, both the management of a project and maintaining contact with clients linked to each project. The implementation of Airtable in my work environment maintains easy collaboration between work teams, it has allowed me to develop creativity by being able to enforce each guideline of a project, it is very interesting how everything is more organized with a tool like this.
It is not necessary to have deep knowledge of this type of platform, despite the fact that it has a learning curve, the interface makes the work much simpler than it seems, thus being able to easily focus on just the management of projects in a collaborative way.
Pros
It allows the visualization of projects in different ways, this flexibility helps us to make management easier depending on the preferences of each user in how they want to work. In addition, it is very easy to apply labels to each task, the reports have several formats and are very customizable. The number of platforms with which I can integrate with Airtable is another plus point, I love how I can easily connect tools from other sites which allows me to speed up my work, thus being able to practically automate my entire process of managing my projects.
The useful form function is not lacking, where I can capture data to be able to apply it within the projects I worked on and continue to work on. Also, its mobile application is very complete, it is quite useful when at specific times we need to do something in the projects and only have a smartphone available, making all the work much faster and everything is done more fluidly because everything works on the fly with the mobile application.
Cons
I must mention a con that has impacted me during the expansion of Airtable is that as more features are integrated, I have found that a learning curve has been added that was not present in the beginning of this platform. In addition, over time, the price has increased without any justification where other platforms seem more attractive and accessible since they offer the same features but maintain a considerable price for both individual users and companies of any size.
Another complaint I have about this is that it has a limitation on the size of the attached files for each base. It could be logical that depending on the plan you have, the size of the file to upload varies, but it seems that this platform does not take this into account, so regardless of the plan you get, this will be a limitation to be able to attach important files that have a size that Airtable handles. The good thing is that it accepts any type of file, so it is somewhat acceptable.

Powerful data management in a flexible system
Absolutely incredible. The ease of use and being able to create no-code apps have been a gamechanger for my organization.
Pros
I love how powerful Airtable is at managing data, while being user-friendly and not overwhelming. Also, if you need any help on Airtable, there are tons of videos and tutorials online. I like that Airtable connects to no-code app builders seamlessly and with ease.
Cons
I haven't found any cons with Airtable. It's always been an easy process to get data in and pull it from other connections. I think the sky is the limit when it comes to Airtable.

Airtable truly is a powerful database for the rest of us.
I run our entire company on Airtable. It started small and got bigger and more complex over the years. I could not have done it with any other similar platform. A tiny bit of coding can make your life on Airtable even easier—and the best part is that ChatCPT can write those lines of code for Airtable in no time. It's a dream-come-true.
Pros
The simplicity of a spreadsheet. The power of a full-blown, but easy-to-use database.
Cons
There is a tiny bit of a learning curve, but once you've understood the thinking behind everything, it's all logical and easy.

Airtable is a MUST have for business and for life!
I love Airtable and have been a user for about seven years. I use it daily for my business and my personal life. It keeps everything organized just the way I like it. The visual customization of the tables is crucial for someone like me who is a visual learner. Now with the introduction of ChatGPT I can expand my Airtable functionality by providing scripts and formulas that I otherwise would not be able to create.
Pros
I love almost everything about Airtable. It's functionality is unmatched and I love the customization that's available. The automations are a life saver.
Cons
I hate the cost. It's unbearably expensive for a one-person business who needs to have their clients be able to use the platform. It would be easier to digest if collaborator billing was on a tiered plan or if the admin/owner price was slightly higher to avoid making collaborators billable.

No downsides to Airtable, however it could use more training on how to design data systems that can be shared when onboarding new colleagues

Amazing life saver tool, efficient and convenient
- I love the product, in the earlier days during the training, it seemed a bit difficult nut to crack but once you get hang of it, it is the best tool you will find for task managment.
Pros
- It priorities tasks as per the requirements which makes it easy to work on the most important task in no time.
- It tracks the progress and updates in the workflow.
- Easy to use as using it daily for more than 8 months now.
Cons
- A bit hectic when one could not close the task as we need to fills multiple forms to but it otherwise helps to update the task in the detailed manner so that it could be easy for the next person to understand the context.
