    When changes are made in one workspace, the change is reflected across all synced views. This helps prevent data errors and inconsistencies, keeping team members consistently aligned.

What Airtable users say on G2

  • Coming from a background working with relational databases in Oracle and SqlServer, I really enjoy working with the ease of creating a fully functioning relational database without having to write code. The UI and UX of Airtable make it easy to create, update, improve, and edit all of my data needs.

    Eddie H.

    Project Manager

  • Airtable has [brought] some of our most popular database tables into a more accessible environment. So, for the average user that doesn't know SQL, they can still access valuable data and utilize it to enrich what they do on their team. I love that people can build useful tools that are relevant to our company and share them.

    Evan S.

    Technical Buyer

  • Airtable is far more than a spreadsheet tool or even a relational database. The platform allows non-technical users to develop and customize multiple apps for a plethora of business use cases, with the potential to visualize complex datasets in multiple ways and surface the most actionable and simplified information to end users.
