ADrive vs. Socialtext (discontinued)

We use Social Text as a platform to air our issues with different departments. We voice our concerns and suggestions so we can help find a solution to the problems we incur on a daily basis. We need to have social text as an app so we can communicate in real time not only during work hours.

• Search needs a ton of improvements. It was very slow a year ago
• Search result quality was also not that good
• I know they have improved their UI recently but when i used it last year it did not really have any design elements which could be used to make the articles look more presentable. It was important for us as we used it for external communication as well.

I haven't had any issues with Adrive.

We have a lot of info in Socialtext already. It would be hard to get all that info out and port it to a different system

ADrive has been very easy to use, and it's fast

I frankly like Confluence better than socialtext because of the speed and the quality of search. They also have better design elements which can help make the articles pleasant to the eyes.

• None, but it has been a good reference for associates to download files remotely
