Swiss Army Knives look great and are extremely useful in an emergency. But how would you feel depending on one to solve the same series of problems every day? Switching to using another multitool might improve things a little but for how long?
Member communication, room bookings, CRM and billing are worlds apart. I can't imagine any one provider being able to do a good job of all of them in one go. Meshwork might be able to put together something that works well for a small number of spaces. But those spaces would have to work within a very strict set constraints. If they try to be all things for all coworking spaces you'll have to put up with ever increasing complexity in the user experience. I'm much happier using simple single purpose tools that do a really good job of solving one or two specific problems Why not consider different providers for each of the problems you have?
