For managing projects, I tried many alternatives, but in my opinion, Airtables is a greater tool with a beautiful look. I've noticed that I'm more likely to check my Airtables and stay on top of my tasks and deadlines simply because it's enjoyable to use and look at.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Although I haven't used Airtables for very long, the time I did spend with it was really beneficial for me. I discovered many new and valuable things, and while all of its functionalities are commendable, in my opinion, it has a more user-friendly interface and provides superior database functionality without the need for coding knowledge.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Charging per user can become difficult. For smaller installations, we frequently use a generic account to get around this. Even so, it's still quite simple to set up 2FA security for up to three users. While Airtable does have included basic reporting and analytics features, it falls short of comparable project management solutions in terms of comprehensive reporting.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

There are a tonne of tools you can use with an Airtable, and it's really simple to set up, learn, and use. It also has an amazing templates library that you can customize to meet your needs, and its user interface is more user-friendly than other systems, making it simple for you to learn about our project's specifics and complete tasks using it.

What differentiates Airtable from other similar products?

We use Airtable for a variety of purposes, but the primary function is helping us keep track of product information. Not only can we customize the fields and data to suit our needs, but we can also create unique filtered views and share limited amounts of this information with different teams within our company, streamlining operations by minimizing back and forth questions. In the past we had used Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, but the ability to create links between tables and generate endless variations on views make Airtable far superior.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Recently Airtable added the ability to create a preloaded filter for an embedded view that layers on top of any filters inherent in the view. This has proved very helpful, as it allows us to consolidate views in our database while specifically filtering them to show only a portion of the records to end users.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Not so much a problem with the product as an inherent challenge with relational databases—planning and structuring the database can be complicated, especially for the less experienced users that Airtable tends to invite. But given that inherent difficulty, Airtable makes setup as accessible as I can imagine.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Utilize the template gallery and other examples, and play around with different ideas while planning out your database. With the portability of data in Airtable, you can get your hands dirty along the way and better learn what you need, without a lot of extra work.
