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.

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.

I like many things about Airtable, but if I had to choose one, I would say I like its flexibility. Airtable allows you to create and customize your own bases, tables, fields, views, and layouts to suit your specific needs and preferences.

Nachteile

Scalability: Airtable has some limits on the number of records, fields, views, and attachments per base, which can affect the performance and functionality of large and complex projects.

This product has been a game changer for my company. Being an Ecommerce business with inventory and teams. It has made it easy to set up bases, automations, dashboard to track a lot. It has made order management so seamless for easy for my teamm less clutter and so many features that has helped the business. Love that I can create multiple bases.

Nachteile

It has evolved over the years with their updates. But I think the dashboard can be better. They can definitely take a few features from clickup especially with things like tracking and notes.

Vorteile

What I like most about Airtable is its flexibility and ease of use. It combines the power of a database with the simplicity of a spreadsheet, allowing for customized workflows, data organization, and collaboration. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to manage projects and track tasks efficiently.

Nachteile

The only downside to Airtable is that some advanced features require a paid plan, and it can get a bit complex when managing large datasets

Vorteile

Airtable’s combination of spreadsheets and databases stood out, making it easy to organize and manipulate data while offering the flexibility to customize workflows for different projects.

Nachteile

Some features are locked behind higher-priced plans, which could be limiting. Also, the interface can feel a bit overwhelming when setting up more complex workflows.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

- I love the list style of Airtable
- I love the card functionality where I can leave notes to my team
- The categories are useful for keeping track of what state a card is in: for example if a card is in progress vs complete

Nachteile

Initial set up is sort of time consuming and confusing but once I watched a YouTube video I totally understood. Other than that, no complaints!

Vorteile

I LOVE the different views between lists, boards, calendar, etc. It's easy to plan content and communicate with the rest of the team to stay ahead on projects.

Nachteile

I don't have a particular dislike for any feature in Airtable.

Vorteile

I like how projects are always managed properly using Airtable.
Also it is the best since it has excellent and unique functionalities that has made it easier for teams to share data and resources that are relevant with their projects.

Nachteile

Airtable is really great, no dislike towards it.

Vorteile

I love the advanced tools like the drag and drop features that enable easy customization and working on various projects and many teams enhancing collaboration.

Nachteile

The only downside is that the onboarding curve might take time.

Vorteile

Meetings, documentation, databases, frontends and backends are the constant in my life. I have all my information spread out in a thousand places: notes, documents, tasks and codes. Airtable has been a complete workspace, not just an app to take notes or manage tasks for me. I can create pages, databases, boards, lists... anything. What I need, I can do: pages, databases, boards, lists, whatever. From team sprints to technical documentation, this has helped me keep everything in one place as a developer. Also, the code integration is great: I can embed blocks of code in your notes and see them with the right syntax highlighting.

Nachteile

The mobile version lacks the capabilities of the desktop version, but still works well enough. Compared to using a computer, checking something quickly on my phone can be a little painful sometimes.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

It's like a user friendly version of Excel/Google Sheets if you are not overly comfortable with using spreadsheets, this makes it easy.

Nachteile

User level security permissions on base tables are lacking. Needs to be more granular.

Vorteile

Great concept of modern nocode database
Simple yet so powerful
Connectivity

Nachteile

Interfaces are not great and face some limitations IMO
Record limits and pricing are a bit demanding for entrepreneurs and SME's

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Simplicity, design and power of the IA powered tools.

Nachteile

Pricing can be a little bit expansive for growing teams.

Vorteile

Its user-friendly interface combines the familiarity of spreadsheets with the power of relational databases. We use Airtable to track marketing campaigns, manage content calendars, organize customer data, and streamline our onboarding process. I particularly appreciate the flexibility to customize views, create relationships between tables, and automate workflows.

Nachteile

Some of the advanced features, such as unlimited storage and granular access controls, require a paid subscription. Also, the mobile app, while functional, could benefit from some improvements in terms of user experience.

Vorteile

Overall everything works amazing. Preset automations are limited, but you have the option of scripting so that helps a lot. Depending what you want to use Airtable for, you might need to use a lot of workarounds, but does the job.

Nachteile

There is no customer service at all!
theres no way of reaching them and they never respond to emails or their online forms.
We had to leave them as we found an issue and needed help sorting it, but there was no one to talk to.
a few days later one of the views had a bug where you couldn't click into any linked records, we tried emailing, submitting forms, but no response (btw this happened a month ago and still no response from them). The development team had to recreate another page for the users to use instead of the bugged one.

Airtable feels like the cool brother of Office packages out there. It is great for keeping track of project statuses, or the status of work left undone. It also allows you to build forms that will populate the data in their version of spreadsheet, which is highly powerful and supports some cool features, such as complex relational data structures, that usually other competitors don't.

Nachteile

There are a few downsides to Airtable. As a user, they could offer better reporting and analytics, this way our teams could better understand what is working and what could go better just by assessing data. Also, sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming to use its customisation options.

Vorteile

Very easy to onboard, user firendly, helping stracture projects, great usage of filters and groups,
the fact that it almost predicts what type of data is there and suggest how to categorize it it great,

Nachteile

It's hard to create reusable templates as each project we manage there is unique with it's own features, AI is not there yet and it can be a good addition to help take decisions and summary based on data

Vorteile

Once set up, it’s easy to enter data and keep organized.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

The simplicity of a spreadsheet. The power of a full-blown, but easy-to-use database.

Nachteile

There is a tiny bit of a learning curve, but once you've understood the thinking behind everything, it's all logical and easy.

Vorteile

Airtable has automations and ways to organize everything! It's my favorite tool for team building.

Nachteile

The free version is a bit limited and the paid version quite big. I wish there were an in between, lower cost option.
