With SeaTable, teams can organize tasks, assets, projects and ideas. It looks like a spreadsheet but structures any type of information, in the cloud or on the user's own server. SeaTable is a web solution to design business processeses and workflows. SeaTable is designed to give teams the information that is currently needed. Individual views provide the freedom to organize work as it is needed. SeaTable can be linked with other business applications and…
1) Great for managing your work and personal activities. 2) One of the best implementations of the Getting Things Done method. 3) Not really suited for collaborative work management; OmniFocus is managed on a per-user basis so you can't share/assign tasks.
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.
Ease of viewing what tasks need to be done at the present moment and the sorting of those tasks by availability, due date, start date, needed resources, and project.
The visual interface is really nice to work with, the UX/UI is intelligent and intuitive.
It's the most extensible software I've used. There is a community of people that publish compatible scripts for Omnifocus at no charge.
The code is robust and I've almost never had a bug or a glitch that resulted in issues.
The software syncs in the cloud between MacOS and iOS seamlessly and faster than other To-Do software. The sync aspect is available free of charge.
The development team at Omnifocus is on top of bugs and they have been adding releases regularly to increase functionality and performance.
While OmniFocus adheres to the GTD (Getting things done) principles, it can be used in almost any manner and you aren't stuck with just that methodology.
File Management (I have always likes the way SeaTable allows me to handle files, and with the 4.0 release, significant improvements have been added.)
Multiple options for team communications
Use of SeaTable democratises the whole process of building workflows. Each team member can be encouraged to create their own "views" (These are filtered and ordered lists of the data your bases hold.), and base their workflows on those. If desired, they could add tick boxes and drop-down menus to create ways to manage their own tasks. They can add quality control options for management, providing them them with customised views that can serve as reports. These reports will will always be up to date, ensuring efficient real-time team communications on projects.
I would really like to see graphic presentations of how I allocate my time, what categories of tasks don't get accomplished, etc.
I would like to see OmniFocus include Gantt chart functionality, such as allowing me to see how long it took me to accomplish a task from start to finish. Allowing me to actually input time spent, and seeing it on a Gantt chart, would be icing on the cake.
OmniFocus has excellent user forums. They're active as well as mature, since the product has been around for years. I've never needed to actually contact customer support because OmniFocus is popular enough that I've always been able to find an answer in the forums, or in an article, or in a YouTube video.
OmniFocus is built for the user with a lot going on - consequently, it does a great job at organizing lots of things in a manageable workload. It's perfect for taking a project and breaking it down into small tasks for yourself or teams. Once you get past the learning curve, it's quick at adding new tasks. Overall, it's an excellent product.
-- GDPR compliant solution (Airtable's servers are located in the US, SeaTable's servers are located in Germany.) --- Allows flexibility and conforms to one's own style of working, better than JIRA and Monday.com. --- Scalable solution for data management and data processing. More intuitive than Excel. --- Excellent options for file management, better than Google.
OmniFocus keeps our tasks moving forward. Using a free script you can search all your current projects for projects that have no next step assigned to it to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
When we serve our clients, the attention to detail we are able to give them comes from accurate tracking of what we need to deliver.
We complete projects 25% faster than before and we can see where the bottlenecks are immediate. We have also been forced to document tasks in a more concrete manner which allows for better execution.
