Airtable Reviews & Product Details - Page 6

My entire e-commerce and marketing team love Airtable, it's truly instrumental in keeping our departments organized between all of the projects we have going on, and being able to communicate milestones to ownership. I love that it's very visual for the marketing side of things, being able to organize deliverables and assets is super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's hard to manipulate what I want it to do but it just takes finicking with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When building our app that required an easy ability to capture data on public forms, Airtable was our preferred solution by far! Its seamless ability to capture, curate, and integrate that data into our backend code was an enormous accelerant to our development cycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There wasn't much to dislike. All in all, Airtable was exactly what we needed to get started, and we continue to use it today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is straightforward, and the setup process is simple. This makes it very beginner-friendly. The AI assistant is particularly helpful—it can generate fields for you if you provide a list, and you can even upload a PDF to its AI model. Just specify the data types for the fields, and the AI takes care of the rest. If you’re not satisfied with the results, you can easily reverse the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The knowledge resource library would be much more helpful if it included video clips, as this would make it easier to understand the features and apply them in different scenarios.

When creating and testing flows, I noticed that the system tends to stick to previous test records, which makes automation testing less effective. It would be better if we could test flows on multiple records at once, rather than being limited to a single record each time.

Additionally, there should be pre-built report types available for every table, provided as templates that can be configured. This way, we could use these templates as a starting point, adjust them as needed, and then apply the customized templates for our specific purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s super intuitive and easy to use—even without any tech background. I’ve been able to build a clean, flexible system to manage everything from ingredients to recipes, all in one place. It’s like a smarter spreadsheet that actually makes sense for real operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can get a little expensive if you’re a small business needing more records or advanced features. Would be great if there were more pricing options for solo founders or small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have found Airtable's interface to be very user-friendly. It has a powerful structure to take in and share out data in various formats. I like the different interfaces you can build off of 1 table. I appreciate the ability to have people fill out forms that load data into the tables without having to have a license for each individual who is filling out a form. Super easy to change data types, labels, and most everything in Airtable, but I also appreciate the warnings it gives if you're about to impact data in a different, linked base.

We're still trying to figure out how best to link data between tables and bases. The other main challenge we have is figuring out what the primary key field should contain so that it is a unique id. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Airtable is an amazingly versatile tool, and it brings the power of relational databases into both technical and non-technical users hands. I have many favorite things about Airtable, but for the purpose of this review, I will admit it to just two: automations, and linked records.

Linked records are perhaps the most important feature of Airtable. They are the backbone of a relational database, and the execution that Airtable employs is the best that I've seen for a consumer-facing product. It makes the process of keeping your data together, and related, simple, and easy. And then, once your data is linked, it opens up a whole world of possibilities with things like roll ups and look ups. It's an amazing feature.

Automations are close second. This functionality in the air table effectively brings your app to life, and makes it a real, living, breathing application. It allows you to make your app behave according to rules that you define, and allows your data to interact with other apps and services outside of Airtable. Automations can serve as the bridge between your data and external apps, making it even more useful.

I highly recommend Airtable for people who want to have a single source of truth for their collected data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many, many things that I like about Airtable, and only a few that I don't. When you become an Airtable power user, you start to notice the limitations of some of the core functions of Airtable. For example, while the formula field is one of the most powerful in the app, the formulas that you can use in it are somewhat limited, especially compared to something like Microsoft Excel.

Further, there seem to be some arbitrary limitations built into Airtable that just don't make any sense to the end user. For example, in automations, you can currently only use a repeating block or a conditional block and not both. This makes no sense to me, and I wish that you could use them in combination with each other, which would make the whole application even more powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Airtable is an excellent data store that combines spreadsheet simplicity with app-like functionality, making it highly flexible for a variety of use cases. Its ability to integrate automations both within the platform and with third-party services greatly expands its versatility for different workflows. I find Interfaces especially useful for building dashboards that colleagues can interact with or edit, depending on permissions you set. One of my favorite features is Airtable’s robust API, which allows me to easily augment and manipulate data through code. I also love the automations feature, which enables me to trigger actions immediately based on form submissions, record updates, or scheduled intervals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, Airtable may not be the best fit for projects involving large datasets, as record limits can become a bottleneck depending on your needs. I wish there was an option for email alerts when automation run limits are reached, ideally with the ability to notify specific stakeholders, rather than relying solely on the dashboard. When working with the API, the need to pause between data operations due to batching limitations can also slow down processes; sending, updating, and retrieving more records at once would be a huge improvement. Additionally, I wish automations offered a native option to delete records directly, instead of requiring workarounds like scripts or API calls. Finally, the current way Airtable handles automation errors could use some fine-tuning; what would be great is a dashboard with visibility into failed runs—like a grid view showing the time of failure, verbose error logs, automation trigger sources, and mass re-run capabilities—would make troubleshooting much easier.

What I like best about Airtable is its perfect blend of spreadsheet simplicity with database power. The intuitive interface, customizable views, and seamless integrations make it incredibly versatile for managing everything from simple task lists to complex project workflows.

What I dislike about Airtable is that its advanced features—like syncing, automations, and higher storage—are locked behind pricey plans. It can also become overwhelming to manage as data complexity grows, especially without proper structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Airtable has done a ton of work to make a seamless platform to build your business needs. The data tab gives you full scope access to a relational database, in a familiar spreadsheet like interface to start. You can use it as simply or as complex as you need to. With the automations tab you can build out business processes and with the interface tab you can create full on business applications for your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer facing elements could use some improvement. Forms are the simple way of getting input from third parties but are limited in capability and logic - you need to use something along the lines of Fulfill to bridge the gap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Airtable is definitely its incredible flexibility combined with the database structure – it's way more powerful than a spreadsheet. You can create custom field types like checkboxes, attachments, linked records, and dates, which makes organizing any kind of information super visual and practical. I also love the different views; being able to instantly switch from a grid view to a calendar, Kanban board, or gallery view for the same data set is a game-changer for project management and content planning. Linking records between tables means everything is connected, like linking client contacts to all their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Airtable is that the cost can escalate quite a bit as you add more users or need features from higher tiers, making it pricey for smaller teams or individuals needing more than the basics. For simple list-making, it can sometimes feel like overkill and maybe a bit complicated initially if you just need a quick note or checklist. While powerful, getting into the nuances of automations or complex formulas has a steeper learning curve than I'd like sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
