Senior Technical Lead at Numeric Technologies
We have multiple departments, and based on my knowledge of how many clients we have on that particular table, I could say it is more than seventeen thousand clients in the whole database.
Senior Product Consultant II at Vimeo
It works well as data and tasks grow, but for very large datasets or highly complex workflows, it can become slower and harder to manage compared to more advanced database tools.

Room For Improvement

Airtable needs improvements in UI, API calls, data handling, collaborations, CRM features, and cost-free user invitations for enhancement.
Planview ProjectPlace needs improved reporting, UI updates, better integration, and enhanced performance for competitive functionality and user experience.
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.

If they show step-by-step guides for automations, this will help them attract more clients who are willing to learn and use their system.

The CRM features in Airtable aren't as advanced as those in Monday.com, which allows for email campaigns.

Setup Cost

Airtable's pricing ranges from free to enterprise level, starting at $10 per user, potentially costly for small businesses.
Planview ProjectPlace offers moderate costs and functionalities but requires staffing, with confusing licensing models and potential unexpected expenses.
For a smaller organization, Airtable would not be recommended because it is commercial and a bit expensive for a smaller organization that cannot bear it.
Senior Technical Lead at Numeric Technologies
For more advanced features such as automation and larger data limits, pricing can become quite high, especially for student budgets, and licensing depends on the team size and required features.

Senior Technical Lead at Numeric Technologies
Centralized sprint tracking has improved collaboration and now simplifies cross-team planning
Airtable offers multiple different features, particularly in the planning sector and calendar options, wherein workspaces can be created and shared with colleagues working together. Airtable provides numerous features such as managing groups, enabling notification preferences, and allowing communication with colleagues wherever they are working, such as if one person is in China and another is in India, with the option to notify changes and customize language preferences. The appearance can be changed and Airtable can be integrated with multiple other tools such as calendars in Microsoft Teams for notifications. You can start with templates or use AI to build custom apps, tailoring workflows. Workspaces are the primary focus because this is where all people have access shared between various different teams, allowing one particular person focusing on one area to make modifications or enhancements that are viewable. Airtable has had a positive impact, where previously reliance was placed on a calendar schedule for stand-up calls, spending lots of hours to understand who worked on which task. After Airtable came into the picture, so much time has been reduced, primarily focusing on productivity and engaging in development. Airtable provides managers with an overview of operations performed, how long tasks take, and the expected completion dates.

Senior Tech Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good integration with resource management and handles time management well, but the licensing is absurd
We did not purchase the agile package. I believe this relates to what we had. We had Planview and Projectplace, but not, the full agile package. We had cards in Projectplace, but we couldn't put them into Epix and then stories because they were part of the agile package. Planview turned out to be completely useless for my use cases because I needed to be able to take large, stories or large Epix and put them on a backlog and associate them with Planview work breakdown structure schedules. In Planview, we would have to migrate application A and application B, but we would be doing this for 30 different applications. In the absence of a way to represent large sub-projects in Planview and have them moveable in time, with the resources associated with them also moving as you move them, I had to work around that limitation and mostly work in Projectplace. That being said, I did not have access to the agile module, but my suspicions are that it would not have made much of a difference due to the poor integration between Projectplace and Planview. Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two.
