EasyRetro vs. Mattermost

There's just so much versatility with Easyretro that I can't think of where it couldn't be used. If you wanted to make a collage, I guess this board would be too structured for that but for most conversations in a business that require organization, this is the best tool for the job. Where EasyRetro really shines is allowing the feedback to be anonymous (Others do as well but most of them require some kind of registration).

I used Mattermost on a full remote company and it perfectly suited our collaboration and communication culture. The company dealt with privileged and personal information of a huge data base of users, so it was a significant advantage for our need to comply with industry regulations.

• Easy intergration to our main CRM (Monday.com)
• I'm not techy myself but I have seen a lot of our previous integrations in Slack transferred over to Mattermost so that's fun
• The desktop and phone app (android) works well enough. I haven't tried it on the Apple ecosystem yet.

Incentivized

• None. Simplicity is their strong point and they do action the suggestions from the community that garners the most votes.

Incentivized

• Some of the features in paid plans could be free, however, they have much offered in free plan (self-hosted)
• The Desktop App we use on windows has some bugs, like when Mattermost is down and comes back up, the app needs restart

Mattermost has been an excellent tool for our business, allowing for a very cost-effective means of communicating, collaborating, and sharing project and business documentation and resources. The free community edition allows for simple installation on existing cloud server resources which results in significantly lower recurring costs compared to the competition

Anyone who has has navigated to the board knows how easy it is to use. The design is simple and the options are intuitive. People of any age can get on and understand how to use the features on this board. The simplicity drives engagement and more feedback is collected as a result.

It's an extremely easy to use software, and I would recommend it to every company that is growing. I think they could improve their notification system, as it gets a little spammy sometimes and important notifications get lost. Also needs to improve the number of private chats that you are allowed to create.

We have not had to contact support for Mattermost ever. All that we have needed has been available in the documentation or website. One of our DevOps team members set it up in a couple of hours. The whole team was using Mattermost that same day. No support needed.

This went as expected. No surprises or major hurdles.

EasyRetro beats out the competition by a landslide. The beginning tutorial is much shorter, easy for anyone to join, and very intuitive to continue use.

I feel slack is a bit more difficult to use overall than Mattermost. Mattermost makes the tasks of communicating across departments and team members easier, as well as giving the ability to share information via hyper links, attachments, and other forms of communication among every body here. Also, easier user interface
