"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. Moreover, Airtable offers powerful automation capabilities that enhance efficiency.

"The scripting extension enhances the things that you can do with Airtable."
"I am impressed with the product's user interface and integrations. It helps me to ship products very fast."

It is done through the form and Smartsheet's automation services. This process shortens the time to market from seven days to less than 12 hours."
"The fact that you can have different access groups is definitely a pro for Smartsheet. It also has the ability to integrate with a lot of tools."
"The most valuable feature of Smartsheet is its intuitiveness, ease of use, and overall simplicity."

However, I must admit that I have encountered several challenges with their interfaces."
"The product's AI feature needs improvement."
"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 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."
"Lacks the ability to edit attachments within the solution."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
