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.

Centralized visual workflows have boosted automation and brand control but still need better dev tooling
While Canva Enterprise is a powerhouse, there are specific areas where it could be improved. Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python. Developers have to use tools like Open API generator to create their own clients. This adds overhead in managing dependencies and ensuring the generated code handles Canva's specific authentication. Canva could release a first-party Java SDK with better support for Maven and Gradle, including built-in retry logic. Another area for improvement is versioning. For developers, versioning usually means a clear history of changes. However, Canva has basic version history that is linear and lacks the branching and merging logic needed for complex projects. Design as Code features could be implemented where templates could be exported as JSON and modified in an integrated development environment. This would allow developers to manage design templates in the same continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline as their application code. Additionally, Canva currently provides notifications when a design is exported. However, developers need more granular triggers such as comment added, approval rejected, or brand kit element updated. Canva could expand the webhook suite to cover every administrative and creative action, which would allow much tighter integrations with Jira, Slack, or custom internal dashboards.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to design workflows with, and we don't have to spend tons of money on somebody to write codes."
"With Airtable, we saw clear improvements in efficiency, especially in time and coordination."
"Airtable's ability to bring people from different teams and geographies together into say a master calendar, with complete control over who sees what when and in what format, is highly beneficial for communications organizations."
"It was easy to get started."
"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."
"Airtable's best feature is that it is very easy to use and very convenient."
"Airtable does it all with Excel database functionality, spreadsheet capabilities, automation, and visually appealing interfaces, and data insights change in real-time, making it flexible and user-friendly."
"For others looking into using Canva Enterprise, if marketing is involved at all, it is a 100% must-have tool."
"Overall, Canva Enterprise is an excellent platform for students, teams, or any user who wants to create professional-looking designs quickly without deep technical knowledge about UI or UX."
"My team used to spend two hours creating a marketing asset, and after we started using Canva Enterprise templates, that reduced to 20 minutes, which is an 80 percent reduction in creation time."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to easily create graphics, images, and documents, improving team collaboration and dropping our design costs, which are specific outcomes we have noticed."
"For an organization like ours, it is not just a design tool; it is a productivity operating system that centralizes brand identity and automates content workflow."
"There are tools and templates for numerous design types and formats, and plenty of fonts and graphics to choose from."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by improving team collaboration and productivity."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted my organization as our Canva Enterprise account has multiple sharing capabilities."
 

Cons

"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."
"Some of the issues associated with the tool were related to some misunderstanding regarding the instructions mentioned in the documentation part of the product."
"Some databases and automation functions are a bit complex for new users, so a simpler setup experience would help."
"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."
"The cost structure of Airtable presents a challenge. When you invite a user, you have to pay for that user."
"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."
"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"
"Sometimes when we go through the whole projects or the sites, it gets stuck or it loads slowly."
"Like some other tools, Canva should introduce an AI writing assistant tool on their platform."
"The video editing prompt, the artificial intelligence prompt that Canva has provided, is a feature that I think could be improved, especially regarding text-to-video generation, which I am looking forward to."
"Canva Enterprise can be improved by adding version control and Illustrator-like features, which would be very useful for creative users."
"There are many features that are available only in the pro version or are restricted to advanced plan features, which can be costly."
"Canva Enterprise is heavy software."
"Canva Enterprise currently has limited features and is not as powerful as Photoshop or Illustrator."
"Canva Enterprise needs more features similar to Adobe to improve."
"Canva Enterprise can be improved in its AI functionality."
 

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."
"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 product's price is good."
"The solution is not expensive."
"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."
"The product would be expensive for customers with only one application or database."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
