History
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.{{cite web|access-date=2022-08-23|author=Lisa Oder|date=2022-08-08|language=de|publisher=Tagesspiegel|title=Portrait Christoph Dyllick-Brenzinger, SeaTable an der IT-Schule der Bundeswehr.|url=https://background.tagesspiegel.de/digitalisierung/christoph-dyllick-brenzinger}} SeaTable is now also available in Russian.{{cite web|access-date=2022-08-23|date=2021-06-01|language=de|publisher=iX Magazin|title=SeaTable 2.0: Viele neue Funktionen für den Datenbank-Tabellen-Hybrid|url=https://www.heise.de/news/SeaTable-2-0-Viele-neue-Funktionen-fuer-den-Datenbank-Tabellen-Hybrid-6059559.html}}
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
SeaTable combines the traditional capabilities of a spreadsheet such as Excel{{cite web |date=2022-04-29 |title=Start-up der Woche: Seatable: "Wir bauen das Excel der Zukunft" |url=https://www.wiwo.de/my/erfolg/gruender/start-up-der-woche-seatable-wir-bauen-das-excel-der-zukunft/28284452.html |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=WirtschaftsWoche |language=de}} and supplements them with a wide range of functions for process automation and visualization{{citation |author=Stefan Wischner |title=Databellenbank: Datenschutzkonformes Kundenmanagement mit SeaTable |date=2022-07-15 |url=https://www.heise.de/select/ct/2022/16/2214508452644319440 |periodical=C't |volume=2022 |issue=16 |pages=160–164 |access-date=2022-08-23 |issn=0724-8679}} 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.{{cite web |author=Christoph Dyllick-Brenzinger |date=2021-11-12 |title=Welches ist das richtige Produkt für Sie? Cloud, Dedicated oder On-Premises |url=https://seatable.io/produktvergleich/ |access-date=2022-08-23 |language=de}} In this way, the owner retains full control over their own data. The installation is done via Docker on a Linux server.{{cite web |title=SeaTable Admin Manual |url=https://manual.seatable.io/ |access-date=2022-08-23}}
Security and privacy
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.{{cite web|access-date=2022-08-23|language=de|publisher=Cloud-Computing Insider|title=SeaTable kehrt AWS den Rücken|date=23 June 2021 |url=https://www.cloudcomputing-insider.de/seatable-kehrt-aws-den-ruecken-a-1031290/}} Most recently, the American payment service provider Chargebee was replaced by the European payment service provider Stripe in mid-2022.
