Pourquoi choisir Airtable 

I needed a better tool that could be easily synced for all users and bring all the data into one place.

Pourquoi passer à Airtable

Trello is not a database so I just wasn't suitable.

Avantages

I enjoyed the ease of use for this software. The simplicity and design of the webpage is very pleasant. I liked how easy it was to collaborate with coworkers and manage projects together. All around a great app!

Inconvénients

The only thing is the limitations with the different plans that there are. Seems like once you upgrade, you have to give up some tools to get different ones. Other than that it is still great.

Avantages

Very flexible and well designed, great tool for collaboration

Inconvénients

you have to build the system yourself so there can be a few bugs

Avantages

- I love the list style of Airtable
- I love the card functionality where I can leave notes to my team
- The categories are useful for keeping track of what state a card is in: for example if a card is in progress vs complete

Inconvénients

Initial set up is sort of time consuming and confusing but once I watched a YouTube video I totally understood. Other than that, no complaints!

Avantages

Easy to use (once it's set up) for a wide variety of projects

Inconvénients

It's really hard to set up for more complex purposes

Avantages

It can be as complex or as simple as you make it, really flexible tool

Inconvénients

The learning curve was hard, especially when dealing with the API

Avantages

Organizing team projects was easy because I could use it’s templates to create task boards and keep everyone on track.

Inconvénients

The mobile app feels a bit limited compared to the desktop version.

Avantages

I have had the opportunity to use Airtable on multiple video production teams, and it has made project/production coordination a breeze. The ability to track tasks and statuses and to have different views into project details has been incredibly helpful in keeping us on point and on budget. It is also very useful for reviewing project efficiency and profitability after the work is complete.

Inconvénients

Because it has expanded so much over the past few years, it's gotten a bit of a learning curve - but Airtable has done a good job of providing support for that.

Avantages

I like how projects are always managed properly using Airtable.
Also it is the best since it has excellent and unique functionalities that has made it easier for teams to share data and resources that are relevant with their projects.

Inconvénients

Airtable is really great, no dislike towards it.

Avantages

We mainly use this to keep track of shipments and specific event materials for our clients and I love it!

Inconvénients

Nothing comes to mind, which is awesome. Usually, I am very picky when it comes to design and functionality. And Airtable keeps it simple and clean

Avantages

The best feature of Airtable, in my opinion, is its unparalleled flexibility in organizing and visualizing data. The combination of a spreadsheet-style interface with the power of a relational database opens up a world of possibilities. The ability to create custom views, link records, and collaborate in real-time makes it a dynamic tool for projects of any scale.

Inconvénients

The pricing structure, especially as the team size grows, can become a consideration. More transparent pricing tiers or additional features in the lower tiers could enhance accessibility for smaller teams or individual users.

Avantages

Automations are the best thing I’ve seen if you are willing to dive in is really newbie friendly

Inconvénients

The records limits and the pay per user model they should give more bundles specially for small teen

Avantages

I LOVE the different views between lists, boards, calendar, etc. It's easy to plan content and communicate with the rest of the team to stay ahead on projects.

Inconvénients

I don't have a particular dislike for any feature in Airtable.

Avantages

Airtable is an easy to use software which allows us to link fields from different tables,The fact that it offers thousands of templates is just incredible.Another thing I like is that it integrates with other applications making it the best in it's field as well as enhancing efficiency.

Inconvénients

It can perhaps be slower to run with a large data set.

Avantages

It was very intuitive to build something for my own use case and has a lot of capacity to customize it. Aesthetically very pleasing to work with. The formula capabilities are more advanced than other software I've used, it really shines in that department.

Inconvénients

There are some limitations related to the calendar and it could use some more integrations but not major drawbacks for my use.

Coda et Notion

Pourquoi passer à Airtable

More intuitive for me and more compatible with my workflow.

Avantages

Airtable unlocked my ability to create and maintain high quality data, and use it immediately in a variety of other software appliations.

Inconvénients

No downsides to Airtable, however it could use more training on how to design data systems that can be shared when onboarding new colleagues

Avantages

Endless customizations, their interfaces, automations, and the Zapier connection.

Once you understand the platform, you can organize your data and build interfaces for staff to work within that data for just about anything. If you deal with data and you want an amazing way to view your data, look no further.

Inconvénients

The basics are easy to understand the higher level knowledge takes time to wrap your head around. However, this isn't specific to Airtable, you have to rethink the way you store and access data. This isn't Excel, it's a relational databases. Keep that in mind and you'll be on the right direction.

Avantages

It’s user-friendly, with drag-and-drop features and templates that streamline project management across various industries.

Inconvénients

Additionally, it lacks native automation capabilities compared to other platforms, requiring third-party integrations for complex workflows.

Avantages

It's a user-friendly system for keeping track of tasks. There are a variety of filters and labels you can add that makes using the platform easy for a team. Airtable has really streamline my team's work and solved a number of organizational issues for us.

Inconvénients

Occasionally there will be glitches where our Airtable doesn't refresh or update. While this is rare, it can be really disruptive to how our team works and then we need to go back and update the work that was done once the Airtable does refresh.

Avantages

The workflow tracking and creating different project workspaces is a great feature. It even comes in handy to create calendars that can be linked to each cell in an airtable view. This allows keeping multiple events at the same location, especially when scheduling events.

Inconvénients

There are a ton of features, and it is a potent tool. However, the ease of use is not great, being lower on the scale for user-friendliness. It is not very intuitive, especially when someone is just starting to play with it. The tutorials become a must to watch when setting up workspaces for the first time.

Avantages

Airtable makes it easy for our agency to collaborate with clients on content management. Previously, we used Asana but the client could see too much into our internal back-end and collaboration. Airtable allows clients to see the front end, as well as submit revision request. This creates a cleaner, more professional experience for our clients.

Inconvénients

It has come with a slight learning curve, but if you take the time upfront to determine the most efficient ways to set up your bases; the time it takes to set it up/learn is minimal compared to how much time it will save you long-term!

Trello et Asana

Pourquoi choisir Airtable 

We made the switch to create a better connect management and approval system for our clients!

Logiciel antérieur 

Asana

Pourquoi passer à Airtable

Airtable was the most versatile! It allows us customize each base for each client depending on their unique needs!

Avantages

The basic interface was very aesthetically pleasing and easy to understand. Great for simple project management tasks and tracking progress.

Inconvénients

Filtering was frustrating. It was very frustrating when you created a new entry, and it disappeared before you were able to complete it because of the filters in place. Ended up with a lot of half-empty, duplicated entries. Overall, it was easy to use when there were only a few people editing, but difficult to track changes when there was a lot of changes at the same time.

Avantages

I like that the tool is simple to use and makes it easy to collaborate with team members.

Inconvénients

The tool is efficient but the cost compared to other alternatives is expensive

Avantages

We really enjoy having a lot of different features available that we can explore, mainly stuff like document management, database, and data workflows. It lets you cover different needs without having to get a few separate tools and ten have to sync them together. The ability to consolidate all those feature sunder one roof is also good for the budget of course.

Inconvénients

I'm not sure if it rises up to the level of tools like Monday and Asana for project management. There aren't as many project customization options and it tends to get a bit all over the place when the number of projects starts to increase. It would be good to have more views for projects and more customizations on the project level.

Smartsheet

Pourquoi passer à Airtable

We were looking for something that was easy to use that we wouldn't have to spend a lot of time learning how to use it. And Airtable looked a lot more intuitive and easy to use compared to Smartsheet which looked a bit complex and clunky

Avantages

I like the agility this tool provides because it's one of the most recent ones.

Inconvénients

Needs a little improvement in terms of the interface.

Avantages

The ability to sign tasks/tickets to colleagues
Clear streams to follow workflows
The ability to visualise projects in different ways

Inconvénients

No issues yet and I've used it across multiple companies

Avantages

We could focus on building out the features that matter and let Airtable integrate with our data-sources directly without hand-building our own connectors.

Inconvénients

Our application quickly outgrew the capabilities of Airtable as a database. We started needing more advanced datatypes and validations than Airtable could provide.

Avantages

It’s collaboration tools, customizable views and automation and integration is the most I like about AIRTABLE.

Inconvénients

Pricing and scalability and offline functions are not that great

Avantages

It can help every day life, flexible apps easy way everything you do in manage inventory data almost anyone can use it your studies, work and etc.

Inconvénients

Exporting to excel can sometimes hard and displayed differently. Sometimes are not available on the IOS app so we are not us much familiar with the layout.

Avantages

Tutto. Lo uso ormai da oltre 4 anni per la gestione di progetti. Mi piace molto la possibilità di creare i calendari e utilizzarlo quindi come calendario editoriale.

Inconvénients

Direi nessuno svantaggio identificato in questi anni.

Avantages

Airtable ist zu einem unverzichtbaren Werkzeug für die Verwaltung der Daten meiner mobilen Projekte geworden. Die Integration mit anderen Tools ist reibungslos und ich schätze die Flexibilität, die es für die Organisation meiner Datenbanken bietet

Inconvénients

Die tabellenartige Oberfläche kann manchmal in Bezug auf Funktionen und Formeln etwas eingeschränkt sein. Darüber hinaus erfordert der Zugriff auf einige erweiterte Funktionen ein kostenpflichtiges Abonnement

Avantages

Airtable has been a genuinely game-changing piece of software for my business. I can't think of another tool that makes managing the content lifecycle so effortless. The way you can organise bases, set up automations, and easily manage everything from social media to email campaigns to content assets is exceptional, to the point where I've made it an integral part of our content processes with clients.

Inconvénients

Overall, Airtable is an excellent tool. If I was being picky, the two negatives that have stood out to me are the pricing (it gets quite expensive if you have multiple users working in a base) and the fact that it's not great at certain types of data management due to the way records work. You can't necessarily replicate everything you can do in Excel/Sheets here; it's much better as a way to track and manage assets than as a mathematical tool.

Avantages

LOVED AIRTABLE AND WOULD 10/10 RECCOMEND. Soooo useful for project management to see where you are in the project, what needs to be done, and when things are due. AMAZING for collaboration! We used it for our recruitment team for our candidate tracking database. We used it every day to track where they were in the process if they were advancing to the next step, or if we needed to reject them. We linked their GH and LI pages for easy contact as well. Additionally, we used Airtable for our 2023 project tracker and were able to easily organize tasks within groups such as GH management, DEI initiatives, and CRM. It was easy to see what our team was working on, completing or planning to complete.

Inconvénients

It is pretty tricky to figure out how to use it at first but there are many trainings to watch to learn. This is probably my only concern with Airtable, everything else is great.

Avantages

It is flexible with reasonable price and also it has great customer support.
Also i like how it has made it easy to collaborate on projects.

Inconvénients

I wish it was better at processing data.

Avantages

It is a highly flexible solution that enables us to customize our workflows in line with our organizational goals which improve our project management. I like its dynamic collaboration tools that improve the efficiency of various teams in project and task management.

Inconvénients

It has limited analytics and reporting features compared to other tools with similar functions which is not ideal in cases where you require comprehensive insights.

Avantages

I like Airtable views which allows us to transform the look and feel of our data depending on our workflow.

Inconvénients

Nothing in particular it has a very intuitive interface, colourful design and modern design which makes it very interactive and easy to use.

Avantages

Airtable is a user friendly platform. Because this is incredibly versatile and user-friendly. It’s like having a supercharged spreadsheet with the power of a database. The drag-and-drop interface and customizable templates make it easy to set up and manage projects of any kind

Inconvénients

These reviews highlight the strengths of Airtable in terms of usability, collaboration, integration, customization, support, project management, and data visualization.

Avantages

I appreciate the adaptability. With the help of drop-down menus, department-specific colors, and the ability to sort data by any number of criteria, I can easily organize my data into useful chunks. Though I'm only just getting started with Airtable, I'm enjoying my time with it and am looking forward to learning all there is to know about it.

Inconvénients

It can be cumbersome to keep track of which users have access to certain databases and tables, therefore you may prefer to use a different platform when communicating with stakeholders.

Avantages

I created my social media content library using Airtable, and it has provided the simplest, most user-friendly way to compile, organize, and share my content.

I can sort based on any category, edit, upload files.

I also love that it's so easy to toggle between the website and the phone app versions.

Inconvénients

No cons, really. It could be a lot to navigate through intially, for someone who is not familiar with digital asset management. There are lots of features I've never even used because the elements that I DO use already provide such a robust experience.

I'd say that Airtable is most ideal for a team, and could potentially be overwhelming for a solopreneur.

Avantages

Overall, Airtable has greatly improved my workflow and organization by providing me with customizable databases, filtering and sorting options, real-time collaboration, and unique use cases such as CRM management. I have created a database where I can input all the necessary information such as project names, deadlines, assigned tasks, and priority levels.

Inconvénients

Multiple users can edit and view records simultaneously, the lack of in-app communication tools (such as chat or comments) can make it difficult for team members to discuss and track changes.

Avantages

We use Airtable in two distinct ways that are critical to our business. The first is lead management. We track all our leads, the status of them, and any other relevant info in Airtable. This makes it easy for anyone to come in and see the status of a deal at any given time. The second way in which we use the product is for collecting data / surveying users. We are constantly talking to our users and trying to collect feedback on a regular cadence. Airtable has made it so easy to build a form and then manage / sort the responses in their tool. Filtering the data is just as important as collecting it to begin with, and I don't know another tool that makes it as easy as Airtable does.

Inconvénients

What will trip me up every now and then is Airtable's naming conventions in the product. It's not a deal breaker by any stretch but for anyone not already familiar with the product, it's confusing to explain to other stakeholders and makes onboarding take a bit longer than you might expect.

Avantages

Very helpful for my small business and a user friendly

Inconvénients

Connect with customers service through the app

Avantages

It is easy for crm and player data being stored.

Inconvénients

Not too helpful and not easy to use for different task.

Avantages

Our company uses Airtable to manage and track our grant applications, and as a database where all information on granting organizations is kept. The ability to customize what data is included in the expanded view of each element is essential, as we can add fields that are personalized to our specific group. Those additions are then applied to the rest of the elements in the same way.

Inconvénients

It's a bit cumbersome. It may be a little counterintuitive to say that there is too much choice, but I like a streamlined overview page where I can see all the information in one place, and Airtable doesn't really offer that option. With so many different view options and tables, it can get overwhelming if you're not diligent about keeping things simple.

Avantages

Super intuitive
Easy to use
Integrates well with other software
Lots of customization potential
Workflow

Inconvénients

Pricey
More automation functionality with native app

Avantages

I like how flexible and customizable Airtable is it allows us to organize data in different set of views,the calendar and timeline views are particularly very helpful to our organization.

Inconvénients

It has a steep learning curve for team members with no or low technical expertise.

Avantages

Opportunity data may be stored and managed effectively with Airtable. It is easy to use, inexpensive, and constantly evolving. When it comes to managing and receiving business possibilities for our marketplace, Airtable is a godsend. I really like how it relates to softrand. WHAM! Now I have a fully operational subscription app.

Inconvénients

At first, Airtable may seem complicated. There are many features and customization possibilities, making it first difficult to grasp if you are not already proficient with relational databases.

Avantages

The ease of setting up tables and managing inventory

Inconvénients

It can sometimes be a little finicky getting things to work exactly as you want them.

Avantages

It is a very powerful tool, with integration capabilities and a strong game for online collaboration. It has more than 20 features that you would like to see in your regular spreadsheet software.

Inconvénients

It has some limits, especially for regular users. It may function as a CRM, but it is not a CRM. It is not as intuitive as Trello or Asana. Power users that dominate integrations and formulas will find a workaround for everything.

Avantages

ease of setup and use when you become familiar

Inconvénients

no offline version, lock-in, some integrations aren't seemless to setup
