The Periscope Stacklist

Periscope makes sophisticated analysis into fast and simple processes. It has made our company more data-driven.

We use Salesforce. It’s the industry standard and I have to say that I am impressed by the sophisticated workflow system and the rich integrations.

We run our blog ourselves but if we had to go back, we would probably choose a standard platform.

We use Olark. It’s a basic chat service--our team handles many chat supports per day. We do not have full service features yet.

Stripe is fantastic. I appreciate in particular the ability to have different development and production environments. It makes setting up a credit card processing system very easy. In all the years that we used it, Stripe never had any stability or reliability issue.

MailChimp is very well designed, but not as comprehensive in terms of feature set. Because of MailChimp shortcomings, we have also bought HubSpot. It does a better job on reporting.

We used to use Dropbox but we got a better deal with Box so we switched. They are both good tools. We do not use Drive for storage, aside from collaborating on sheets and docs.

QuickBooks is fine. It is the industry standard and it integrates with our accountant’s system for taxes and auditing.

Zenefits is easy to get started with, and it is free. When you are first getting started, setting up health insurance can be hard--Zenefits takes away most of the hassle.

Greenhouse has very good reporting and tracking features. But the user interface is not super intuitive.

Slack is a little chaotic when you scale up. You can end up with dozens of channels, and it is hard to navigate the history. The integrations are fun though.

I highly recommend HelloOffice--they are the best brokers in the world for real estate.

Gusto is fabulous--it scales very well and the user experience is great.

We use Google Calendar--it’s a mediocre tool.

Our marketing team uses Asana and they seem happy with it.

We use JIRA for development / bug tracking.

We also use Pivotal Tracker. A great feature of Pivotal is that it allows you to track engineering speed.
