Jetbrains Space vs. Socialcast (discontinued)

Jetbrains Space is extremely well suited to web projects, as well as application development. The management tools and CI are great for web. I think it is less good for game development. Needs more access to viewing assets, and improved git-lfs support to really work for games.

Socialcast has been a great tool for FactSet. I would recommend it to any firm looking for an easy-to-use tool to centralize communication and collaborate on a global scale.

• Integration with other JetBrains tools
• Managing codebases and repositories, as well as projects
• Issue tracking

• It works great for large companies with lots of people.

• Mobile App does not provide enough functionality to be useful, but improvements have been made.
• More workflow tools
• More common business process apps

Beyond the value FactSet derives from using the platform, Socialcast (the firm) has been a good partner to FactSet. We've experienced very little downtime with the service and they have been responsive and fair with enhancement requests and questions

It has some rough edges, but overall the UI is extremely good.

The UX is its best feature

Excellent support; of course not perfect. :-)

Not applicable, as it is a SaaS platform with minimal implementation

With the other software I've tried, they solve many issues, Jetbrains Space solves them all by being a complete all-round solution for every level, from management, to support, to the developers. The other tools have some of these things, but I never felt comfortable using the whole system as a complete source of project tools, often ending up using tools from multiple vendors.

CA Flowdock, Igloo and SocialCast are similar tools that deliver essential features to build an internal social network.

SocialCast is reliable and supported by VmWare. This can make people feel "safer".

SocialCast has also a clean interface where you can find options and features quickly. The interface is friendly and fast and is not annoying like the CA Flowdock interface (which opens a new tab/window in almost every place you click).

• I feel secure with Jetbrains Space, as a project management tool.
• I feel secure using Jetbrains Space internally to manage my code
• Being able to access Jetbrains Space from all my projects, regardless of language is a huge plus. Even my documentation is covered.

• Definitely more organized project management and team collaboration.
• Efficiency in carrying out tasks.
• Creates a spirit of collaboration and friendliness among colleagues.
