What does your company collaboration stack look like?

We have services like Google Workspace, Office 365, Zoho Workplace and Samepage etc. But are you really happy with these services to lead your company productivity and collaboration?

I find that the per user pricing won't suit everyone. For example, it would be better in my opinion if these online "workplaces" were priced based on data usage and storage that was being used.

One problem I find is if you have a company which is only 2-3 people, it's fair enough having to pay for them as a "user" but if you have multiple email accounts all needing a mailbox across multiple domains but don't need the full range of features like cloud storage, document editing etc. - You still have to fork out extra.

So what do you do for your company, we are moving more towards remote working or taking a hybrid approach in today's world, how does your company collaboration stack look like? (Email, collaboration, file storage, document editing, messages, video calls etc.)

Hopefully by sharing what you use we can learn what other great tools are out there which we don't know about.

    Right now we have:

    • a centralized knowledge base on https://slite.com
    • task management on https://clickup.com
    • code + CI/CD on https://gitlab.com (I am exploring the possibility of transferring the task management on Gitlab as well, but the work spanning multiple projects (like stories, epics) are harder to manage on Gitlab and would make us lose some speed (which we desperately need since we are a startup).
    • Emails/shared documents/presentations on Google's GSuite (mainly because of email hosting).
    • video conferences - Google Meet (part of GSuite).

      Thanks for sharing!

      I was not aware of Slite, it reminds me of Notion?
      I used to use ClickUp but was not keen on their pricing.
      Did you look into Microsoft 365 compared to Google Workspace, what made you choose Google?
