Atlassian Stride (discontinued) vs. Speakap

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

I would highly recommend this tool set for every business from small to Enterprise in retail, hospitality, and any hourly employee business. It’s a great way for teams that have gaps in communication and accountability to get everyone tuned in. As someone who has had years of experience with HR software in the realm of the service and retail industries, I am really impressed with what Speakap has accomplished.

• 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.

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.
