    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.

    It's an extremely flexible solution. It can be a nightmare to work with if not properly planned out or fantastic if well thought out. If you have a team and an application owner with a plan it's a great option.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • 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.

    • It can be a bit buggy with media library management.
    • The html editor can act pretty wonky sometimes with the html it translates things into.
    • The navigation builder tool is pretty confusing.

    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.

    • Increased employee efficiency.
    • Happier internal customers because changes are much easier than they used to be and we can often empower them to make their own changes to their websites.
    • For our application owner it's become a huge project that consumes all of his time. Not ideal but it's working for now. Knowledge sharing the more intricate pieces can be really difficult.
