eScribe vs. Parabol

It works well for scheduling and coordinating meetings. It also is ok as a project management tool, as long as everyone else is using eScribe. Where we have trouble is when some people try and use eScribe and other people are not familiar with the program and use something else. Then it gets messy and we are better off just using excel

Parabol is suitable for working configurations of all kinds, in-person, fully remote, or a hybrid work setup, employees can benefit from the software regardless. The retrospectives are effective when applied to an actual project or when used as a mock retrospective. The icebreaker question is also very useful as it helps establish the mood moving forward.

It is not too bad to use but it also seems to be trying to fill a need that we already have met with our existing programs. I like how easy it was to push out to folks but it really just doesn't seem that much better than what we already had

Not as great as Peoplbox, although we used Parabol only for scheduling and managing meetings and not for managing Goals and agile sprints much. Our usage of Parabol was very limited and we used it only for a very limited timeframe. Have been happy with what we explored on Parabol so far.

• Corrdinting schedules
• Organizing projects
• Improved communication

Incentivized

• Parabol helped in better collaboration.
• Parabol improved productivity.
• Was not high on ROI in monetary terms.
