    Chose Airtable
    Airtable better organizes communication with clients than Slack. Communications with Airtable are task-specific and fall into the overall process.

    Chose Airtable
    Airtable is easier to use than Trello, less complex than Slack, and has great integration and better project management tools than Google Docs. For us, it is definitively a winner. We have very diverse projects and Airtable can handle them all very well. From events to special …

    Chose Airtable
    There's a saying that spreadsheets were never meant to be databases, and Airtable provides the missing piece for nontechnical users who need to hear that saying. It's more performant and provides more custom view options, for example, than Excel or Google Sheets.

    Chose Airtable
    Airtable is as powerful, if not more than these competitors. It has a simple interface like Asana or Trello but has robust data functions and tracking of Jira or ShotGrid (now called Flow). While I haven't found it as profoundly integrated as Jira, Airtable feels much more …

    When using SQL database, there was no simple way to create tables and fields. It took time and a dedicated database administrator to take care of the database and updates.
    For Airtable, you can easily create tables and fields. Tables can be deployed within minutes. Data can be …

    Airtable is much more affordable than Smartsheet, and more capable than Google Sheets as far as related tables, integrations, data views, and team collaboration.

    Chose Airtable
    Airtable is much more user-friendly and easy to navigate and update than Confluence. We still use Confluence as a wiki, but Airtable is used for all our day to day management.

    Chose Airtable
    While traditional spreadsheets provide a space to input information, Airtable actually makes it useful and easy to look at it, showing you only what you need or want to see at that moment.

    SAIC is a gSuite campus and Airtable is a very good companion to the gSuite. The Airtable gDrive integration is quite good and Airtable solves problems that gSuite simply does not solve. Though it does not replace them, Airtable also plays well with our Project Management …

    Chose Airtable
    There are 2 main competitors I feel, Google Sheets and MS Excel. Both are great for creating complex spreadsheets with complex logic and interlinking in between them, however, the speed of quickly creating process flows, data management systems and more in Airtable is way …

    Airtable was a more affordable, more mobile, and more versatile platform. The options for future integration were greater for us with Airtable; the mobile opportunities give our Foundation flexibility; and since our team is based in several locations, the sharing and cloud …

    We selected Airtable for the Calendar view and the grid view features. We like being able to link tables to one another, and we appreciate how collaborative the platform is. Airtable is able to display our data in a visually appealing and user-friendly way. We wanted to be able …

    Chose Airtable
    Airtable had all of the functionality we needed from a more robust CRM system like Salesforce but was more simple to use and had public facing views to display. We needed an upgrade from Google Sheets and Google Forms - one that links data together - and this is what Airtable …

    Chose Airtable
    We've used (and still use in some cases) other Project Management platforms. Trello is fine but limited to Kanban-oriented projects. I personally love Trello but on in certain use cases. Airtable is way more versatile and has a Kanban view. Teamwork and Zoho are really in …

    Chose Slack
    We selected Slack because we are based on Google Suite and not Microsoft. It was a clear choice for us but it has been great using Slack because of the versatile integrations with Gmail and Google Drive. It is quick and easy to link to shared files and documents. Also, I feel …

    Chose Slack
    Before Slack, I used to use Telegram and Whatsapp, but they both were also my personal platform to chat with friends and family. This mix between personal and professional life was very damaging because it felt like I was always working. Slack gave me the possibility to feel …

    Slack's UX is more 'fun'. It uses bright colors and fun verbiage to encourage communication with team-mates in new ways.
