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.

Automated reporting has freed time for deeper analysis and improved budget and variance reviews
A specific example of how my team uses Cube in our day-to-day work is that above all, Cube has vastly enhanced our ability to get financial reporting done quickly and free up our time to really dig deep into various accounts. This has greatly improved the accuracy of our financial results beyond what you would even believe. The clean portal and organization help my team by making it easy to navigate and the data collected is very clean and managed in an understandable manner, hence making it very easy to make data-driven decisions. Regarding the features, customer service is great, customization of financial reports, ease of integration with other tools seamlessly, continuous system testing and upgrades, and easy creation of monthly and P&L variance analysis. Data import and export is smooth and efficient. Monthly reporting and analysis is easy to pull and update. The positive impact Cube has had on my organization includes additional time for analysis, less than budgeted spend, and more accurate financial results resulting in better decisions. The error rate has reduced from 40 to 50%. The reduction in errors has affected my team and the business overall by improving speed and efficiency for month-end close processes. Better consolidation of data for long-term trend analysis is evident, and easy P&L creation and variance analysis has been great.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Airtable's best feature is that it is very easy to use and very convenient."
"The relations and multiple-choice options are the most valuable features. For example, if I have one client but multiple projects in the same client, it's much easier to map it with Airtable than if I use a Google Sheet. The relationship between interfaces is a key feature that I use very often."
"The product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."
"The solution makes it easy to structure data into simple data tables."
"Airtable has really benefited us in document storage."
"The product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."
"I am impressed with the product's user interface and integrations. It helps me to ship products very fast."
"It is easy to design workflows with, and we don't have to spend tons of money on somebody to write codes."
"Implementation was super smooth, and within two weeks we were up and running and the metrics were exposed in our app."
"Cube completes my tasks very easily and takes less time, allowing me to deliver any project in a timely manner to our clients."
"NPS improved to approximately eight out of ten for our feature, and internally ticket handling times decreased, allowing reallocation of resources to higher-impact projects."
 

Cons

"The cost structure of Airtable presents a challenge. When you invite a user, you have to pay for that user."
"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."
"Sometimes when we go through the whole projects or the sites, it gets stuck or it loads slowly."
"They should allow us to duplicate the data to share it with others."
"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 user interface should be more intuitive."
"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."
"I did not see any return on investment from Cube."
"There is no way to create a real template that is not exposed directly in the UI."
"Cube's interface can be challenging for non-technical users, needing clearer use-case examples to ease integration into workflows."
"Cube can be improved by enhancing data refresh over multiple tabs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's price is good."
"The product would be expensive for customers with only one application or database."
"The product is a little bit 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."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Airtable's pricing depends on the plan that you're on."
"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."
