The best part about Meistertask is how dead simple it is, while still absolutely nailing what it needs to really get right. Meistertask makes task management dead simple for me and keeps the detail out of the way unless I specifically need it.

SeaTable
It does well as a CRM for a company to see all of their candidates or clients or whatever they are tracking. The sorting and grouping ability as well as the inclusion of many formula integrations is also helpful to organize content more meaningfully. If you don't have a lot of information that you need to track, this might have more than you require but it is still a great software to use.

MeisterLabs GmbH
  • Some detailed task definitions may be difficult to implement.

  • SeaTable is a young company, and I have nothing to criticise, for now. - No solution will fit all use cases, in any event. --- I have found this one to be the most adaptable and complex on the European market. Due to the data location, I am reassured on the subject of GDPR compliance.

Meistertask seems like it was made for work, and it doesn’t hide its features amid complicated menus. The Mobile experience is one of the best I have used in task management. It integrates with other tools more widely via Zapier and various built-in ecosystem connections within the Meisterlabs space. If you need to get started simplifying your digital life, this can help.

For the value, you get much more with SeaTable including the statistics and the number of records that can be utilized on the free version. I also thoroughly enjoy the ease of adding formulas and having the reference right inside of the platform to ensure the selection of the correct formula to meet your needs.

Return on Investment
MeisterLabs GmbH
  • MeisterTask saves me a lot of time in communicating about various tasks of a project. The activity chat feature lets me communicate with other members of my team without having to be in the same location as them, and increasing our productivity.
  • It has caused me to use some additional time though, and create a Gantt chart myself instead of being able to use a built-in feature.
  • MeisterTask is great for letting us organize and keep track of all aspects of a project and make sure each one gets done by its respective due date.

SeaTable
  • Positive: Savings in administrative staffing needs.
  • Positive: Customisation allows for real-life workflow management
  • Positive: Automation is a goal that SeaTable supports very well.
  • Negative: Not many people are familiar with solutions like SeaTable. They are used to working with inflexible (and often not-fit for purpose) administrative systems. They are adept at finding ways to circumvent the issues by using secondary tools, or they wait passively for web developers to deliver the functionality they need. - It is quite difficult to convey the opportunities that SeaTable offers to people who have not used it before. SeaTable cannot be blamed for this, but it creates work in needing to convey this to the organisation's stakeholders. --- I would recommend one person to be assigned the role of SeaTable specialist in an organisation, so that any issues can be quickly resolved.
