About

At first glance, SeaTable looks like an Excel spreadsheet, but it is as powerful as a database. In this presentation I will show you with concrete examples how seatable positions itself in comparison to Excel and a traditional SQL database.

After this presentation you will understand what kind of tasks you can perform with SeaTable and the limitations that can prevent you from using SeaTable.

**The presentation will cover:**

- Comparison of Excel and SeaTable with regards to content types, collaboration, data crunching, automation - Strengths and Weaknesses of SeaTable in comparison to a SQL-database - Concrete Use Cases.
