Ask HN: What collaboration software does your team use?

5 points by alexbecker 6 years ago | 1 comment

At my company, we use Slack (and email) for messaging, Jira for project management and Confluence to plan and document. But I'm not very satisfied with them, especially Confluence, which I feel is clunky to use and I find documents got lost in.

What do you use, and would you recommend it?

I've used mostly email for messaging, skype for talking, Jira for development work and MS Word for planning/documenting. Not a big fan of Slack, preferring a quick email or a call for longer discussions (or preferably in person chat, but I'm currently remote).

Haven't been happy with Jira for a long time so decided to start thinking about what a replacement would look like. Created https://tasks.withcomb.com as a placeholder to see if others are interested.

But in my research I've come across ClickUp & Clubhouse for project management. Never used Confluence, and while I don't really know what it does beyond being a documentation site/wiki, I'm pretty happy with Word to type up requirements & GDrive/dropbox/OneDrive to share with the team.
