CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 vs. Socialtext (discontinued)

As an MSP, we can have our creative team create one signature (or many) to deploy to a client, which gives them a consistent message and helps them look more professional than a business of their size might otherwise be able to. The integration with Microsoft 365 is simple to set up.

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.

• Uniform Signatures: CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 allows administrators to create and manage email signatures centrally, ensuring all employees have consistent and professional signatures across their entire organization.
• Automated Disclaimers: Automatically appends legal disclaimers and compliance-related information to all outgoing emails, which is crucial for industries with strict regulatory requirements.
• Promotional Banners: Allows the inclusion of promotional banners, links to recent blog posts, or company news in email signatures, turning every email into a marketing opportunity.

• 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

• I would absolutely love to see the introduction of being able to force a branding format (Font, size etc) across our email real estate, this was a feature moons ago but would love to see this come back especially when Microsoft can kill all this for you at the drop of a hat....erm Aptos makes me sad!
• Easier to navigate training and how to videos to allow you to work out how to make changes and be creative yourself more
• I genuinely cant think of another point here!

• 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.

The solution is pretty much set-and-forget. It does what it needs to do, nothing more, nothing less, and it does it very well.

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

As already described, the set-up process is kept totally simple. This makes setup quick even for untrained administrators. If anything is unclear, you can find all the information you need on the manufacturer's website. As access and configuration are carried out via the web browser, adjustments can be made from any end device. Whether on the move, in the office or at home.

We have not witnessed any downtime so far ...

There are no performance issues related

No problems but we had a couple of questions about functionality or edge use cases and anytime I contacted CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support I was absolutely happy with their responses. Very helpful, polite and smart people are working over at CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support. I would suggest other companies to take note on CodeTwo Email Signatures 365's quality of support and service.

It is important to make sure Active Directory is correctly populated and that content is standardized, eg telephone number formats.

The Office 365 integration and the email profile management was tighter looking in CodeTwo Email Signatures 365, which is why we selected them over the competitors. I also liked the ability to use logic and variables in the signatures to allow us to be a little more creative in the applications.

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.

The product is very reliable :-)

• Signatures are always conform to company standards
• It can take a few seconds for the signature to be inserted, this might bother some users
