This is a growth-oriented and highly customisable data management solution. --- Two years ago, I found myself looking for a GDPR compliant solution for managing the data of our non-profit educational start-up. Before that, I had already used and built several no-code systems to manage our data (Excel, Smartsheet, Airtable, and the whole Google environment). SeaTable has served us well. --- With the help of SeaTable, you can organise complex information in various visually appealing ways. At first glance, it follows the traditional spreadsheet format: Each piece of data (by which I mean the additional data that is related to each record which - with its key position in the first column - serves as the key to all the rest of the data in that row) is initially displayed in a column. There are 25 column types available, laying good foundations for correct data entry by the whole team. --- The complexity of the information stored in each base can be managed by adding multi-level filters, grouping, sorting and selective hiding of columns plus colour coding. --- As you are in charge of the set-up, you can customise it to fit the existing company culture. --- The longer you work with SeaTable, the more uses you will find for it, in your business. SeaTable will gradually turn into a substitute for many of the tools you are already using. --- Examples: - Forms (All businesses need forms to collect information in a structured way. I have worked with GravityForms for many years, and have a high level of expectations in that area. SeaTable’s Form options are quite comparable, offering all the necessary options of adding conditionality, formatting, help text, default values, access permissions, notifications, optional deadline for submission, and much more.) - “Kanban” (Many small businesses start out with Trello and you will find your beloved Kanban view right there, in SeaTable.) - “Page Design” (Once you start with that, you will find more and more uses. A simple first use for a start-up would be the issuing of invoices based on data in your table. Also, product descriptions, proposals, reports and workflow descriptions or SOP’s.) - “Gallery” (Similar to Kanban. In contrast to Page Design, it can be deployed more readily to present product information (or social media content planning), both to your team and to customers. Especially useful when a picture of a product (or person) is to be featured prominently. - For presenting information about files, choose Kanban instead. --- Other useful plugins which impact the display of the information your bases hold: “Timeline”, “Calendar”, “Map”, “Deduplication” and “SQL Query”. ------ Notes on Project Management: I have used Monday.com, JIRA and Trello for project management in the past. With SeaTable, I feel that I am able to achieve a more user-friendly custom set-up for my team. (Just because something is specifically built for project management does not mean that it is better for project management!) --- Communication is a key feature of project management. SeaTable provides you with the topic-specific communication tool you need. Each record has a comment function. With the help of "timeline" or "calendar" view, you can manage scheduling. The addition of various fields/columns that you can later filter by (such as “completion status”, “urgency”,”priority”, “assigned to”) allows for easy monitoring of your projects. ----- Non-code-savvy users (like myself!) will, over time, discover delightful additional features. With SeaTable, you are truly empowered to build highly customised semi-automated workflows, and you can do that even on the Free Plan. Data processing operations can be added in various no-code ways, and can be set to deploy based on rules (or, even, on the push of a virtual button!). --- You can connect to one of the custom workflow builders like Make (formerly Integromat) or Zapier. - JavaScript and Python can be added directly or via import. These connection options are available in the Free and Plus subscription. - Check out the Enterprise subscription for the additional offering of built-in SeaTable automations.
  • 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.
  • 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.
I would highly recommend SeaTable to any young enterprise: When you start out in business, you do not yet know what you need. --- SeaTable offers everything you need (and more), growing with you as your organisation grows. The free plan allows you to build your system. You can’t lose by giving it a try. --- In the free version, you get nearly complete functionality. - Take your time, and set up a first draft of your data management system. (Airtable, for example, will not give you access to their Extensions on the free plan. In SeaTable you have full access to them from the word “go”.) --- There certainly is a learning curve, but for a beginners’ needs, I would class it as completely manageable. --- Documentation is available, and customer service is excellent. There is also a forum where users communicate with each other.

  • 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.
-- 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.

We use it almost like a CRM where we can quickly see all of our candidates in one place and manage where they are in the process. We also use it for reporting when partnering with our clients to ensure that we are moving the candidates along efficiently. I have found the statistics portion of the product to also be very helpful and I love the ability to create different views to fit what we need to see at any given moment.
  • Allows for lots of records for candidate information
  • Adds the ability to see the statistics of our data.
  • Makes it very easy to see all of our candidates in one place without having to go through tabs and pages of information.
  • I would love to see it where if I change the ordering of columns of one view it doesn't make those same changes on another view.
  • Sometimes I want to see things differently or in a different order and this does not allow that to happen.
  • The above suggestions are the main ones that I feel would be an improvement.
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.
  • Being accessible from anywhere with Internet connection.
  • Creating different, customized views
  • The easy ability to filter, sort, group, and hide columns has been very useful.

  • Positive: Helps us organize our talent pipeline more effectively.
  • Positive: ROI is awesome since we are able to fit it into our budget properly.
  • Positive: Helps us to sustain the business by sharing candidate profiles with multiple clients.
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.
