SeaTable is a no-code platform[2] that allows users to develop and implement business processes.[3] The cloud collaboration service SeaTable is developed by the GmbH of the same name with headquarters in Mainz and additional offices in Berlin and Beijing.
History[edit]
On July 1, 2020, SeaTable was released as a cloud offering (Software as a Service) and as downloadable software (On Premises). The initial focus is on data collection and processing capabilities. SeaTable is available in English, French, German and Chinese.
In 2021, an innovation project led by the Cyber Innovation Hub at the IT School of the German Armed Forces started to evaluate the possibilities of a large-scale deployment at the German Armed Forces. The evaluation project is currently still ongoing.[4] SeaTable is now also available in Russian.[5]
In 2022, SeaTable is optimizing its database backend to allow millions of records within one base in the future. The focus of development is increasingly on automation and visualization.
Features[edit]
SeaTable combines the traditional capabilities of a spreadsheet such as Excel[6] and supplements them with a wide range of functions for process automation and visualization[7] as well as a fully comprehensive API. SeaTable is not a pure cloud solution, but can alternatively be installed on a private server and operated completely autonomously.[8] In this way, the owner retains full control over their own data. The installation is done via Docker on a Linux server.[9]
Security and privacy[edit]
While most no-code platforms exist only as SaaS solutions, SeaTable describes itself as a data-sparse European solution. While initially the SeaTable Cloud was hosted on Amazon AWS, the move to the German data centers of Swiss provider Exoscale then took place in May 2021. This was followed by the replacement of the Freshdesk cloud ticketing system with a self-hosted Zammad instance, and since April 2022 SeaTable has completely dispensed with all tracking cookies on its website.[10] Most recently, the American payment service provider Chargebee was replaced by the European payment service provider Stripe in mid-2022.
