Interact Software
Great for social media quizzes, shopping guides, lead qualification, progressive profiling, and any application where asking a series of questions can be used to gain a better understanding of customers and contacts.

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

Alternatives Considered
Interact Software
Interact is great for basic integrated quizzes and forms. The other tools are much more robust in terms of mobile friendliness, integrated payment steps, file upload, Google Tag Manager integration (track and segment via your favorite marketing automation platform), etc. Typeform is a much more robust platform.

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.
