SOGo vs Teable
A side-by-side editorial comparison of SOGo and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
SOGo vs Teable: at a glance
What is SOGo?
SOGo's release notes have become a vulnerability disclosure channel with a version number attached.
SOGo is a self-hosted groupware suite — webmail, calendaring and contacts — maintained by Alinto. Four of the last six releases exist primarily to fix security vulnerabilities: XSS through malicious mail, SQL injection, OpenID impersonation, script execution via theme and hint query parameters. The newest, 5.12.10, fixes four more and states that all previous versions are affected, with CVE identifiers still pending at publication.
What is Teable?
Teable's Structured Query v2 now reports across multi-hop relations, with a strict mode against SQL.
Teable ships near-daily. The October 27 release extends Structured Query v2 to same-project relational reporting across one-to-many, many-to-many and up to three-hop relations, with aggregates, grouping and permissions checked at every hop; new SQL-based query definitions now get warnings, with an optional strict mode that rejects them. The same release adds atomic record upsert on a unique field, a Table Operations console for admins, an Artifact Manager, and paginated base listing over MCP and CLI.

SOGo's release notes have become a vulnerability disclosure channel with a version number attached.
◆ Current state
SOGo is a self-hosted groupware suite — webmail, calendaring and contacts — maintained by Alinto. Four of the last six releases exist primarily to fix security vulnerabilities: XSS through malicious mail, SQL injection, OpenID impersonation, script execution via theme and hint query parameters. The newest, 5.12.10, fixes four more and states that all previous versions are affected, with CVE identifiers still pending at publication.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is a codebase whose input-handling surface is being systematically probed, largely by the community reporting to the project's bug address, and patched in batches. Release numbering has stopped being reliable as a timeline — 5.12.7 shipped after 5.12.8 — so version order tells you nothing about what a deployment contains. The two non-security releases in this window were both regression repairs from the security releases that preceded them, which is the cost of shipping fixes at this cadence.
◆ Prediction
Given four security batches in five months and CVE identifiers still being assigned retroactively, another batch on the same cadence is the most likely next release, with a regression patch following it.
Teable
7.5COLLAB
Teable's Structured Query v2 now reports across multi-hop relations, with a strict mode against SQL.
◆ Current state
Teable ships near-daily. The October 27 release extends Structured Query v2 to same-project relational reporting across one-to-many, many-to-many and up to three-hop relations, with aggregates, grouping and permissions checked at every hop; new SQL-based query definitions now get warnings, with an optional strict mode that rejects them. The same release adds atomic record upsert on a unique field, a Table Operations console for admins, an Artifact Manager, and paginated base listing over MCP and CLI.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the chat-first preview on October 21, each release has moved more of the product onto structured queries that agents can use safely, and away from raw SQL. Admin and integration tooling (upsert, complexity assessment, MCP pagination) is now arriving to support larger workspaces built this way.
◆ Prediction
Expect strict mode to tighten toward a default and the remaining query gaps, such as cross-project relations and sorting by to-many fields, to close next.
