George B. Thomas explains why SmartSuite bridges database and task management tools. It lets you customize fields and data like Notion or Airtable, but keeps the polished interface of Monday or ClickUp, leaning more toward the database side.
The second feature set that is really interesting about SmartSuite is the customization of the interface, the way organization is managed. Despite the fact that I keep calling SmartSuite a work management platform, it currently exists almost in the in between, between a true database and a task Manager. And yes, that's the work management arena. But SmartSuite is kind of on the database y side of that right now. And what I mean by that is when we're inside SmartSuite, we have the ability to customize every field and data's point, almost like what you might see in something like Notion or coda or airtable. We're able to customize here in SmartSuite, but we still get the structure of box apps like Monday or ClickUp, which is why it's in the middle.
