Has required stronger collaboration features while still supporting complex project workflows
The best features in Airtable include the flexibility and the fact that I could create relational databases. Before I started using Airtable, I was using Excel which didn't offer these capabilities. The ability to create relationships between tables and see through what's working in other departments is great for me. I can do scripting and work on large data sets on Airtable. It makes it easy for me, as working on those data sets on Excel tends to slow me down, but on Airtable, it's much faster. I can integrate Airtable with other platforms; aside from the native integration where I can send notifications to Slack teams and messages to Gmail, I can also connect with Make.com to share data. The interface on Airtable is exceptional. Working for my clients, when a client didn't want access given to all teams, we structured that on the interface and the different teams got different access to different tables. Airtable's rich field types help in organizing complex data for my team. The advanced field types work exceptionally with features such as linking records together. I can link records from other tables and see what's happening, use the lookup field, the roll-up field, and the count field to see what's occurring in other departments and generate insights. Unlike other CRMs, data cannot enter if it's not properly structured. If I want to input an email and it's not valid, it won't allow it because it expects the data to be structured appropriately.

Helpful for reporting and to do risk assessments
Within our group, I think five to six people will probably use the tool. The tool is mostly not used on an everyday basis. It is not used daily but weekly. I think the tool offers usability, and I think we can scale it. As far as our utilization is concerned, I think it is very scalable. It is very flexible. You can utilize the tool for various reasons. You can use the tool to look at your vulnerability scans and upload information. You can do risk assessments. You can do physical site assessments. I think scalability deserves five stars for sure. The scalability seems to be very easy to use and scalable and flexible.

"A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good."
"The solution is pretty simple to implement."
 

Cons

"The interfaces provided by the company have certainly undergone significant improvements since their earlier versions. The growth and progress have been remarkable. I have personally shared numerous feedback points and observed the prompt implementation of changes within a few months, which is highly commendable. However, I must admit that I have encountered several challenges with their interfaces."
"One area of Airtable that I think could be improved is the automation aspect, which is vast but limited compared to tools such as GoHighLevel, where multiple triggers can be utilized."
"What I would to see improved in Airtable is a chat feature. I really want to see a scenario where collaborators working on a project could easily chat, asking questions and discussing changes immediately on the project."
"The product is slow when I try to add data to a table using API. There is also a limit on the databases."
"What I would to see improved in Airtable is a chat feature. I really want to see a scenario where collaborators working on a project could easily chat, asking questions and discussing changes immediately on the project."
"I haven't used it in a while, so I cannot really provide specific areas that need improvement."
"They should allow us to duplicate the data to share it with others."
"Some of the issues associated with the tool were related to some misunderstanding regarding the instructions mentioned in the documentation part of the product."
"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."
"They could improve by providing more language support other than English, integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."
"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."
"There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path."
"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."
"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."
"In terms of areas for improvement in AppSheet, I do many things with it, and I'm happy with its data features. The solution has good data features, and though some basic functions may not be there, AppSheet is good enough for me at the moment. I can use it in my business. I like it, and I'm still happy with it because I'm not using it intensively. I just use AppSheet for simple tasks rather than complex ones, though the solution has many use cases. In its next release, what could make the solution better would be more partners for integration, for example, integration with SAP, particularly plugins or APIs with more partners that it could integrate with. There should be an out-of-the-box feature built for integration with more partners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's price is good."
"For basic usage, Airtable is an open-source tool but if you need premium features like script automation, then you need to pay for it. As my clients provide me access after buying the subscription I do not have much knowledge about pricing."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"The product would be expensive for customers with only one application or database."
"The product's price is good."
"The solution is not expensive."
"We are utilizing the free version of the software, which adequately meets most of our requirements. As we explore the higher-end versions, we have noticed that the primary distinctions lie in the number of records and usage limitations. However, the free version offers comprehensive functionality, and the disparity between the free and paid versions is minimal, with only a few minor differences."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. The product's pricing is okay for personal use. For large organizations, pricing can be a pain. As per the first-rate plan, you need to pay 10 USD per user. The next plan would cost you 20 USD per user. If you are looking for enterprise-type plans, then you need to contact the sales team."
"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."
"The tool is available at a low price."
