Discord
Personally, Discord is a great tool to create online communities for your company or product, especially when our target audience is young. I would not consider it appropriate to use this tool for people over a certain age, nor would it be suitable for companies of considerable size.

I think this would depend on what they are looking for in an intranet service and how big their company is.

  • Ability to customize the platform to really fit the needs of what you're looking for. How we use it is different than how another organization uses it.
  • It's easy to get ahold of technical support and ask questions from a high level (i.e. about how to make it work better for the organization) or a granular level (i.e. how to improve something for a specific employee).

Usability
Discord
I can't really say much on this. It's extremely easy to use, it's very logical and intuitive, and very easy to install and set-up. Even the settings menus make sense even to nonliterate IT people.

Support Rating
Discord
I would give it a 10 rating because it absolutely deserves it. Discord has made things like keeping in touch extremely easy for people. Anywhere from gamers, businessmen and even family calls are all a part of this fantastic application. The ease of access of being able to jump in a room with your friends and talk to them is amazing

Discord
Discord has better features and it gets updated constantly with new features. It gets popular everyday and the number of people using Discord gets increased. Discord has a better interface that is easy to use, it doesn't make you confused. Better voice and video quality. The most important part is the communities, there are thousands of different communities.

Return on Investment
Discord
  • Discord has been such a bonus to our productivity. Instead of sending meeting links and starting lengthy email threads, we were able to quickly hop on a call with other people and get things done!
  • Some colleagues had to change their PCs as Discord was messing up their system due to the heavy system load.

  • The workflow when building forms doesn't allow for when someone is out of the office for it to flow to another manager. We would have to create a drop-down and have the employee select who it needs to go to for approval. Would be nice if the systems administrator could be able to change the approver and then resend the item for approval. At this time the employee would have to resubmit or the admin would have to email the current item for approval or we would have to impersonate this individual to approve.
