Alma Suite vs. Atlassian Stride (discontinued)

My business is HR consulting. Best benefits: organize freelance consultants by projects and tasks.

Stride works well for those looking for just a communication tool. However, there are a lot of similar programs out there that offer more interesting features without being overwhelming. The simplicity works for and against Stride. Smaller groups would find Stride useful, especially if they are not concerned with the public rooms

Incentivized

• Great for task administration.
• Customer service is friendly, pragmatic and always available.
• Organize freelance consultants by projects and tasks.

• Stride is great as a chat tool with your team members online.
• Stride allows us to share documents and files with one another.

Incentivized

• Need to improve in the way it shows project development in time: Gantt chart, schedules, etc.

• Dark theme would be nice
• Better integrations to 1 on 1 chats, some software only works in group/room chat
• Platform is going away in a few months, so letting it run longer would be nice.

Incentivized

Better features for project development follow up than Asana and Wrike (previous choices)

Stride falls short in almost every regard. While Stride is affordable, Slack and Ryver offer vital integrations that increase efficiency and are more enjoyable for employees to use. The features of Slack and Ryver that add personalization of chat (private vs. public) also add a layer of efficiency and flexibility that are hard to pass up for the simplicity and affordability of Stride.

Incentivized

• Positive: Internal Communication and Collaboration

• Stride helps with keeping your email inbox cleaner and more organized. More conversational messages can be done through Stride leaving our emails less cluttered and finding emails easier.
• Stride assists with keeping a record of all your past conversations with all team members. Referring to previous communications help us keep track of current statuses of projects.
• Stride helps us keep track of documents we've shared in the past with the team and retrieve them if we need to refer back to them later.
