Socialtext (discontinued) vs. sterlo

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.

Built a application integrating an ERP without any need to code and the application build can be replicated without any additional effort for a different client. The pricing model is suitable for enterprise companies and the adoption is simpler. sterlo supports on-premise service as most No-Code platforms usually does not support on-premise. This helps a lot for enterprise companies to retain their data security.

• 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

• Workflow Management
• No-Code application development
• Dashboards and analytics

• 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.

• More integrations with other applications
• preview board for workflow charts
• More themes for customization

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

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.

On-premise support, easy to deploy, freedom to host on cloud of the clients choice, enterprise pricing model, no-code tech as others need coding as they are low-code platforms, new tech stack and it makes scalability easier, helps with digital transformation for enterprise with 3 tier user levels, device agnostic and much more

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

• Replication of application has been useful
• Able to cut down digital costs for clients
