Sidekick vs. Socialtext (discontinued)

If you are a professional agency that requires access to a ton of Saas applications like email, accounting, CRM, websites, etc, then this browser (Sidekick) application is the ticket for you. If you like a ton of features for free, this is not for you. I feel It is breaking my bank account. :(

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.

• Makes it easy to find and hide applications
• Makes it easy to focus on productive work
• It is easy to configure
• It has tons of features to make online work productive

• 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

• Group applications on the left side of the part (like categories on the bar)
• Make it hard to close a tab when on a session (warn with a "did you mean to do that?")
• Be able to save the session while live.
• Protect all tabs within a saved session without making them little tabs.

• 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

When comparing these two, Sidekick was way easier to use and configure. I got confused immediately when trying to set up workspaces in VIVALDI. Sidekick reminded me of ClickUp and was set up within the hour.

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.

• Work productivity has increased by at least 10%
• Enjoyment of working with a ton of applications has increased
• There is no longer fear or losing valuable and important work

• We get solutions to concerns much faster
• We promote interactions with the other depts
• We listen and have discussions
