Our verdict
Feishu turned chat into the entry point: a message in a group spawns a document, a meeting or an approval without jumping between four apps. Its multi-dimensional tables and automation come close to Airtable plus Zapier, and the data stays inside China. The cost is density — new users face a real learning curve, and small teams often use less than half of it.
Points forts
- Chat, docs, tables and approvals natively connected
- Multi-dimensional tables and automation rival overseas equivalents
- No network or compliance friction inside China
Points faibles
- So many features that setup takes real effort
- Personal plan quotas are tight
- Collaboration degrades for teams outside China

Avis 2

Onboarding, confirmation and leave all flow through approvals. Multi-dimensional tables beat Excel for talent reviews, and mobile approvals are the smoothest here.
Very complete, but default notification settings are noisy — dozens of bot pings a day. Took two months to tune them down.
