"The scripting extension enhances the things that you can do with Airtable."
"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."
"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 product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."
"The product is very easy to use and flexible."
"I am impressed with the product's user interface and integrations. It helps me to ship products very fast."
"The solution makes it easy to structure data into simple data tables."
"We've brought our portfolio altogether. We have had multiple ways of reporting out what our portfolio is, whether it's in Excel, Word, or in different places. We brought all of our projects together in one place. That has worked out well for us. We've been able to manage the work on Gantt charts and our resources better. The big thing for us on research and development is around managing people's time, on which projects they are working on, and how much effort does it take to launch our projects."
"Whenever we have issues, there is always someone ready to help us. Their people are knowledgeable and responsive. They get to tickets quickly. Just three or four weeks ago, we were having issues with getting data into Planview. We submitted a ticket and the turnaround was probably 45 minutes to get a response."
"The resource management and assignment features are valuable. The timesheet management is also valuable because that is a requirement for us. So, the ability to see timesheet forecasting and timesheet actual submission from resources has been very useful and valuable to us."
"The overall interface is very easy to use. It puts together strategy and execution across all your investments."
"It gives us the vast ability to churn out-of-the-box reports and have an overview about approach rates and resource utilization."
"The portfolio and technology management are well built."
"We're still in an early stage. Things will change as we use it more. I did program reports that are important and that will provide us with value."
"A lot of of the value is around the project metrics so far but as I get more plugged into the strategic management, it's strategic planning and programs and then tying that into outcomes. I work with executive leadership and that's really what they're looking for, to say, "Okay, what outcomes do we want to achieve and how are we going to get there, plan that out, sequence that out, and then get the work to do that? And then track the work back to where we're headed with our outcomes.""
"The user interface should be more intuitive."
"They should allow us to duplicate the data to share it with others."
"Reporting, specifically anything involving exports, could be improved."
"It'd be nice if the record limit of 50,000 record limit per base on pro accounts were substantially higher."
"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 product is slow when I try to add data to a table using API. There is also a limit on the databases."
"The product's AI feature needs improvement."
"Airtable needs improvement with the loading speed. It takes a lot of time to load."
"The only area that I can see currently needing improvement is just the modernization of the look and feel of it."
"Its reporting needs to be improved. My main complaint when it comes to Planview is that it is good to maintain all the data but to actually use the information that is in it, you actually have to use a different tool. We use Power BI. So, we pull all the information, and then we use a Power BI dashboard to stage or look at the information."
"The reporting capability and access to the fields for our system administrators to have access to the data without having to pay Enterprise One to get the data that's needed to create custom reports for management to create reports need improvement."
"Visualization and reporting areas could use improvements by having canned reports."
"The reporting is absolutely shocking. It's not good reporting and requires improvement."
"The solution out-of-the-box that we established was insufficient. We had to purchase and set up OData. I don't believe that it's a great solution out-of-the-box but eventually you can get there."
"We are not very happy with the customer service. This is one of our main pain points. It doesn't cover the entirety of customer service, as there are reps who are really great and we've had good experiences. Many times, we've had people give us attitude, there was a delay in the response, or just a lack of interest. This got to the point where if there was a problem, we would rather try to solve it ourselves then call customer support."
"While Planview Management provides robust reporting and analytics capabilities, further enhancements could include more advanced data visualization options, predictive analytics features, and customizable dashboards to provide deeper insights into project performance and trends."
