How much faster can Air Table process large datasets than excel?

[Taylor_Felt]

I have an app that requires about 300,000 rows of monitoring data, and while it works fine, it's brutally slow (about 120 seconds to load initially). Part of that is because I can't use security filters since it's best suited as a public app. Using a MySQL database would probably be the best option, but before going to the enterprise plan, I'd like to know how much more efficient Air Table is than excel.

From AppSheet’s documentations:

• True databases like mySQL are generally the best. 
• Excel is slow. Better to use Office365 than a hosted Excel file. 
  
  
• The second best option after a true database, among all others, is Google Sheets which would give you the best performance.

So I suggest that you first try to move your data from Excel to Google Sheets. Also, read this guide carefully:
