Hello everyone,
I’m interested to know if there are any Airtable enthusiasts here. Have any of you transitioned from using Monday to Airtable, or perhaps tried moving in the other direction?
It appears that Airtable offers great potential for building an effective CRM system, though I wonder if there might be certain limitations that aren’t immediately obvious. What are your thoughts?
i’ve used both for a while. airtable gives me more flexiblity in tweaking projects, even if its a bit less userfriendy at the start. monday is straigt forward but sometimes too riged. overall, airtable matches my creative workflow better.
Based on my experience managing projects with both tools, Airtable has proven to be more adaptable to custom workflows compared to Monday. The database-like structure in Airtable allowed me to quickly design and prototype systems according to flexible needs. Although it did require additional effort to handle complex automation tasks, the overall user interface and ease of customization outweighed those challenges. Consolidating data from various sources was more intuitive, making it easier to build an effective CRM. In my journey, Airtable has continuously met evolving business demands while keeping configurations straightforward.
I have worked with both Airtable and Monday on several projects and have observed clear differences that tend to favor one tool over the other depending on the use case. My experience has shown that Monday’s simplicity when managing team tasks allows for rapid onboarding and clear progress tracking. In contrast, Airtable’s flexibility and relational database structure can be especially advantageous for more detailed data handling and custom CRM requirements. Ultimately, the choice comes down to the complexity of your data and the extent of collaboration needed across your team.
After working extensively with both platforms, I can say that the optimal choice depends largely on the specific needs of your project. In my experience, Monday excels for teams requiring a more guided, less technical workflow, especially for routine task management. However, when managing complex data relationships or integrating custom functionalities beyond standard project tracking, Airtable has proven to be more versatile and customizable. The learning curve with Airtable is noticeable at first, but it quickly becomes instrumental in tailoring solutions that are not easily achieved on Monday.
i switched from monday to airtable for its flexible customizations and dynamic database features. its a bit tricky at the start, but once u get it, managing complex projects becomes a breeze. if you need simplicity, monday works just fine.
