For the price, I think Common Room does an okay job of ABM tracking and account identification. Similar software is 2x the price. So it can be a great place to start and figure out your needs before diving into something more complicated

Discord works phenomenally if you want a chat platform that is free, quick to set up, and very flexible in the ways you can start using it. It doesn't require a complex set of logins for different servers and confusion about adding new members, or tough pricing right out of the gate. If you prefer to view full conversations all in one place without them "splintering" off into branches that are missed, Discord works great for this. All in all, Discord is great for startup companies or lean working companies, but it does not lend itself as well for larger, traditional "corporate" enterprises.

  • Quick polling of questions and issues

  • Better volume balancing between members on a call.
  • More customizability of the notification sound for each server. It would be nice to set each of my important servers with a different notification sound.
  • More expansive note section when you view another user's profile. I'd like to be able to contain more information there in a more organized way.

Usability

It is hard to learn to use. Names of features are really unclear. I needed way more training in order to get value out of the platform, especially for actually executing on the tools and data

It just works, and works well. Very rarely does anything go wrong, and I can't remember the last outage (sure there's been some but very rare and not something I even think about or worry about). Desktop clients, web access, mobile clients - the lot. Very happy with our easy it is to use.

There is plenty of online documentation and knowledge base articles. As well as having an open API to be able to tie it into other products makes it a really viable solution for any business. I have never had to contact support, any questions which I have need answered can be found in the documentation,

I chose to go with Common Room because of the depth of reporting and data that it gives a seller about their accounts. While it doesn't have some of the out of the box marketing functionality, the goal of these types of customer intelligence platforms is to give sellers a leg up, so seller information is more important that out of the box marketing info

I like Slack for more professional settings, but Discord is excellent for casual groups, especially when a few people do not have iPhones. They're very similar, but I think there are a lot of Discord features I don't take advantage of, mainly because there seems to be so much in the sidebar that overwhelms me a bit.
