Avaza vs. Socialtext (discontinued)

We are a pretty unique business because we deal with bookkeeping, marketing, and HR and across all 3 departments, we have been able to successfully use the tool. Other software we have tried usually caters to one industry at a time.

Incentivized

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.

• It switches between Kanban view, List view, and Gantt charts which fits varying preferences!
• It helps us work smart by creating dependencies and linking tasks to calendars
• It has a clean, intuitive dashboard that's very easy to navigate

• Version history - Always keeps the edited versions and one can revert back any time
• Creating and Editing an article is very easy and intutive
• Sharing the articles with peers

• The interface and taxonomy could use an update, sometimes it's hard to figure out where things logically are or should be.

Incentivized

• 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.

Because it has been amazing and easy to work with.

Incentivized

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

Avaza is very easy to use, but the mobile app needs work.

Incentivized

They are always available and open to doing a call or a shared screen to walk through the issues.

Incentivized

Avaza takes the easy of Asana and adds the invoicing and bookkeeping capabilities you need all in one place.

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.

• Avaza has made it easier to see how long I spend on certain types of projects and where I could be spending more time.

Incentivized

• We get solutions to concerns much faster
• We promote interactions with the other depts
• We listen and have discussions
