    Considered Both Products
    Airtable
    Chose Airtable
    Airtable vs. Asana: Asana is for task management; Airtable is for data management. The difference between the two is important. Asana is NOT for long-term data storage. It does have more integrations with other apps, but if you're looking for a pure database, Airtable is the …

    Chose Airtable
    Airtable combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the possibilities that come with a database, all within one tool. We have chosen it after a short evaluation. It is incredibly easy to use after a short training, making it a great tool compared to the typical …

    Chose Airtable
    We weren't able to find anything that can do what Airtable does within the free version. We have very simple needs but needed records to connect between sheets, and that's what Airtable does. We also needed something that could easily be passed on to new employees as current …

    Vastly better-. Much easier to set up, edit and view across multiple platforms.

    Chose Airtable
    None of the other "art gallery" software programs that I researched (for three days) had the capability of being able to manipulate the database file input like AirTable does. Wix uses third party form generators which do not do the job as well as Airtable and even costs more …

    The Airtable interface is easier to use and more intuitive with less cumbersome development.

    Chose Airtable
    Airtable blows MS Access away. It's easier to use, works harder and smarter for YOU!

    Chose Airtable
    Airtable is a modern data management tool. It doesn't bring in baggage from when technology was restricted to your local hard drive like other spreadsheet and database software. I don't have to deal with version control or 100 different files...and then figure out how to share …

    Chose Airtable
    The Reports in Airtable Blocks are easy to format and look professional, with a very short amount of prep time.

    Chose Airtable
    Airtable was much better priced. It was easier to set up and get started right away without the complexities of the other options. Plus it does exactly what we need it to do!

    Chose Airtable
    The combination of the ease of use, clean well-designed UI and underlying functionality sets Airtable apart from other comparable systems we've tried.

    Microsoft
    Chose Microsoft Access
    We've actually started to use both of these programs. There are pros and cons to both.
    Microsoft Access is best for linking two sets of data that already have a common shared field (i.e. both sets of data include a student ID number, social security number, etc)
    Airtable is best …

    Chose Microsoft Access
    • Microsoft Access is great for local low code, relational database applications where users are creating, reading, updating, and deleting data (CRUD)..
    • Useful mostly for locally stored database and not network or cloud-based applications
    • Easy-to-user interface makes it hard to …

    Chose Microsoft Access
    Overall, I feel that Microsoft Access stacks up well against the competitors. With Microsoft Access coming from Microsoft it has many qualities that people are already familiar with from using other tools, especially Excel. Microsoft Access comes with Office 365 and therefore …
