For organizations looking to build scalable, flexible apps with powerful governance and administration.
Organizations with creative teams who are bogged down with design requests for marketing or sales collateral and looking to empower their non-designer colleagues with brand templates.
We love Airtable's outstanding automation and linking features. Automating repetitive tasks and connecting our data to other platforms has been a breeze, saving us a lot of manual work.
The only problem I have with this software is the terrible iOS applications. If I want to use it on my iPad I do no use the app but rather the web browser due to the lack of functionality.
I literally try to replace as many tools as I can with Airtable because it is so flexible. Using it as the core for client and customer reports is fun and feels like a stable solution.
It's usability is inhibited by the lack of design features. There is no way to upload your own icon for the bases.
This platform is amazing. I love how it combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet interface with great features like file attachments, kanban-style card stacks, calendars, and reporting functions.
Horrid frustrating disapointed in most everything.
Awesome, just awesome everything about the product is awesome, from the price to deployment to use.
The UI is still slightly complicated, and I had a lot of trouble finding documentation on linked fields.
I like all the templates that they have ans it is fairly easy to customize them. The documents have a nice quality to them when they are printed.
Sometimes if we need other people to collaborate on a document it is a little more difficult, the team who uses the product saves PDFs so can be cumberson for edits/updates.
Wonderful options!!! The software as how it is set up makes life so easy for me to work with clients. The ease in which I can create is fantastic.
It is difficult to export it to Power Point so that it renders without aliasing the text.
We were able to create a beautiful press for a charitable campaign quickly. Graphics were good and my partners on the deal were extremely happy with the look.
I found that the program often froze or was delayed which made things difficult. I also found that sizing of objects was not as easy as it could be, I would prefer an option to type in the dimensions.
The overall experience was great. We were able to publish a monthly newsletter promoting the exciting accomplishments of our school and community.
The pricing is the only downside, comparing to similar apps on market, this is probably is the expensive one I found.
Onome D.: Hello, my name is Onome. I am an artist and facilitator. I am a solopreneur and I give Airtable four out of five stars. Prior to Airtable, I was using Google Drive as my content library, and I find Airtable to be better suited to the job. Well, it just so happened that I was able to receive a template for doing my content management system that made it easier for me to figure out how to organize my content in a fairly straightforward way. It was a bit of a learning curve, even with the template because I mean, there's so many options and so many customizations. So I'd say overall it's a pretty steep learning curve. In my case, having a template made a bit of an easier entry point for me. But even with that entry point, it was a little difficult to understand how to add new columns and customize the database. So I'd say it's a little bit of challenge. I would say that though Airtable has worked just fine for my purposes as a solopreneur, it's better suited to a team of people just because it has so many potential moving parts. And the way in which it is customizable, I think it would be better suited to a team of people, like a group of archivists or a group of social media content managers, that kind of thing. Those teams would be the ones that would best be served by a software like Airtable.
Travis: Hi, I'm Travis, a Director of Development in the non-profit industry, and I would give Lucidpress four out of five stars. Before Lucidpress, we had Microsoft Illustrator and unfortunately it wasn't as intuitive to me. When I jumped on board in my position, I was looking for something that had just a wide range of features, and it didn't seem like at least our version of Illustrator was up to snuff with the vision that I had for the assignments that were before me, such as newsletter generation and other things. And so when I looked around, searched online, said a prayer, because I had no idea where to go, I actually came across Lucidpress and was pleasantly surprised. At the end of the day, after doing my search through the different publishing softwares, I decided on Lucidpress because it seemed like it not only gave us the most bang for our buck, but it also seemed to just have all the features that we need. They're constantly doing updates, and it's been four years since I made that decision and I'm still very comfortable with it. It's just been very easy to get the job done and also to train staff. They seem to pick it up pretty easily as well, and that helps. And so it's just been a nice process. Our printing company, they work well with us and they seem to understand it. And it's a really big plus to have it as cloud-based because when you're sending those big files, it's nice to just be able to go to the printing company, download it on their computers, and just allow it to do its job, and for them to take over from there, rather than having to dumb down one of the files in order for it to process or send via email. So there's a lot of great features to sum it all up, and the addition or the option for it to be on cloud is just a huge plus that makes our workflow a lot easier. It was very easy to onboard into Lucid. I was given the task of creating a newsletter that had already been in existence before I had started at my current position, and I had a vision for what I wanted to do, and it was great to be able to get into Lucid and easily identify what needs to be done. And I don't have a graphic design background by any means, but it just talks and shows and presents itself well. And so I think anyone who has a general understanding of what they want to do and of manipulating even Microsoft Paint or something like that, I think you would be able to pick up Lucidpress pretty easily. If you're considering Lucidpress, I would recommend that you gauge the price against the features. I think that's a huge draw to have a cloud-based publishing software. You might gauge it against the others, against the competitors, and assess even the templates and the things that are already available to you. I was able to create the newsletter that is still going on by manipulating a template that was involved in Lucid for our purposes. I did a fair amount of changing it, but it's still actually, four years later, serving as the base. And it's given the feel and the branding to our non-profit's newsletter. So I think just based on the price, the cloud integration or the cloud availability, and then all the features that come in, I think if you gauge it against the other ones, the competitors that are out there, it's going to be a very competitive publisher. And I think you would be good to make your decision with it and you'd feel that you confidently made a good choice.
