The product competed with MindTouch,Confluence, Jive Team Collaboration and other collaboration platforms. It was acquired by PeopleFluent in 2012 and is no longer available as a separate product, though similar capabilities are supplied by the PeopleFluent platform.

    There's just so much versatility with Easyretro that I can't think of where it couldn't be used. If you wanted to make a collage, I guess this board would be too structured for that but for most conversations in a business that require organization, this is the best tool for the job. Where EasyRetro really shines is allowing the feedback to be anonymous (Others do as well but most of them require some kind of registration).

    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.

    • 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.

    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

    Anyone who has has navigated to the board knows how easy it is to use. The design is simple and the options are intuitive. People of any age can get on and understand how to use the features on this board. The simplicity drives engagement and more feedback is collected as a result.

    EasyRetro beats out the competition by a landslide. The beginning tutorial is much shorter, easy for anyone to join, and very intuitive to continue use.

    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.
