"Airtable stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Its intuitive navigation ensures a smooth experience, allowing users to easily explore and comprehend its functionalities.

One particularly advantageous aspect is the seamless linking of databases, enabling the effortless creation of relational databases.

"I am impressed with the product's user interface and integrations. It helps me to ship products very fast."
"The product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."
"The sorting of the data is the best feature of Airtable. In a Google sheet I have to insert some data and Airtable provides the default option of doing it automatically."
"The relations and multiple-choice options are the most valuable features. For example, if I have one client but multiple projects in the same client, it's much easier to map it with Airtable than if I use a Google Sheet. The relationship between interfaces is a key feature that I use very often."
"Airtable's ability to bring people from different teams and geographies together into say a master calendar, with complete control over who sees what when and in what format, is highly beneficial for communications organizations."
"The product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."
"I am impressed with the tool's continuous improvement. Every six months we get to see a completely different product. You can build a new product using no-code applications. We are able to scale up with the product."
"We use less paper thanks to this product."
"There are many incredible features, however, the ability to tag each other in comments, mark out progress, and get alerts through the app keeps us moving forward."
"The ability to assign members to tasks and then have them update the status on them and even ask related questions under the task has been very helpful."
"The best feature is the form for requests for new projects."
"We have gotten rid of all our paper-based systems and our marketing work is now 100% visible to anyone in our planning organization providing ultimate accountability between teams."
"The solution can be customized for individual projects and quite easy to use."
"The board function allows you to create a digitized to-do list."
"The mobile application is an absolute breeze to work with."
"It'd be nice if the record limit of 50,000 record limit per base on pro accounts were substantially higher."
"The product is slow when I try to add data to a table using API. There is also a limit on the databases."
"The template library is huge. I have a few suggestions with respect to that. But to complete automation, I think a bit more documentation around that would be really helpful because there are a lot of features in that which common people explore them less"
"The user interface should be more intuitive."
"Airtable needs improvement with the loading speed. It takes a lot of time to load."
"The product should improve the Spanish translation."
"The product's AI feature needs improvement."
"The tool has changed the syncing time between the tables which has affected our multiple systems. I would like the product to add more calls per second to the API. It also needs to improve data storage. The tool starts to have problems after having huge amounts of data."
"There are minor bugs that delete information or don’t autosave information placed. It doesn’t happen often, however, when it does it is inconvenient."
"This isn't a platform where you scrimp on the training and send one person to bring back knowledge. Monday is different things to different people, and context matters."
"The data linkage could be improved. For example, sometimes you cannot automate item creation when you link different items to each other. You cannot connect the data deeply from field to field. It's somewhat complicated to link a contact to some account fields and automate the contact's behavior based on the value of those fields. The data is sometimes not structured enough for deep processing."
"What would be nice is if I had two days between deadlines and adjusted the day if it would automatically adjust the deadlines, even if I had to change one or two that might no longer work, it would save a lot of steps."
"I do wish that admins could edit everything, no matter who created a post/board/subitems, etc."
"I have just started to use this solution, and there are no new features that I need at this time, but it could be more user-friendly."
"I would really like to see the reporting functionality updated."
"We'd like to see cross-board automation."
