Ashwini Ramanisankar

Airtable Administrator at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees

User-friendly, quick implementation, and effortless database creation

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. In terms of the interface, there are certain improvements I would suggest. For instance, a global search feature is currently absent, which would greatly enhance usability. Additionally, incorporating a search function within automation would be highly beneficial. The current limitation of fifty automation per base is insufficient for our needs and could be expanded. Moreover, there is a need for a longer native time delay in automation to allow for more flexible syncing. Currently, the syncing time is set at approximately three to five minutes, which could be increased for smoother operations.

Do not be afraid to migrate to cloud solutions

I started using Daptiv PPM at SAP R/3, 22 module implementation, with over 80 functional team members, in different geographic locations. It definitely gave us the opportunity to centralize all schedules per module and assemble work teams for each subproject, binding them with co-dependent tasks in other modules. This type of tool allowed us to finish the back office stage just a week behind the original baseline, a real record for SAP R/3 implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Airtable stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Its intuitive navigation ensures a smooth experience, allowing users to easily explore and comprehend its functionalities. Moreover, Airtable offers powerful automation capabilities that enhance efficiency. One particularly advantageous aspect is the seamless linking of databases, enabling the effortless creation of relational databases. Overall, this feature has proven to be immensely valuable and has been the primary focus of my usage."

"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 solution makes it easy to structure data into simple data tables."

"It was easy to get started."

"The product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."

"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."

"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."

"I appreciated the ability to configure a graphical interface for a database, which was quite novel at the time."

More Airtable pros

"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."

"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."

"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."

"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

Cons

"The product is slow when I try to add data to a table using API. There is also a limit on the databases."

"The product should improve the Spanish translation."

"They should allow us to duplicate the data to share it with others."

"Airtable needs improvement with the loading speed. It takes a lot of time to load."

"I haven't used it in a while, so I cannot really provide specific areas that need improvement."

"It'd be nice if the record limit of 50,000 record limit per base on pro accounts were substantially higher."

"The tool has changed the syncing time between the tables which has affected our multiple systems. I would like the product to add more calls per second to the API. It also needs to improve data storage. The tool starts to have problems after having huge amounts of data."

"Some of the issues associated with the tool were related to some misunderstanding regarding the instructions mentioned in the documentation part of the product."

More Airtable cons

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Airtable's pricing depends on the plan that you're on."

"The solution is not expensive."

"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 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 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 product's price is good."

More Airtable pricing and cost advice

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
