We just got rid of it at my company last week. Looked like a glorified spreadsheet to me.

It's not a glorified spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are way WAY better.

What did you replace it with?

I work for a small division of a massive company and they have a corporate contract with salesforce so that mostly. Couple of slack workflows for internal things.

Ah. I work for an engineering company, and we half use it for managing our list of machines we're working on. Absolutely hate it, because if you want to use it properly every team member needs their own license and naturally the company won't pay for that.

Almost all corporate software is a grift. Lie to management and say it'll fix everything, only to hold them in a contract, fix like one actual concern, and let the obscene amount of money roll in.

I should start a corporate software company...

We tried it out, hated it, canceled it, I built my own checklist spreadsheet and everyone loves it.

Yeah it sucks. So bloated and requires so much attention. You need a person handling it as a full time job. A shared spreadsheet on something like Google Sheets is a lot better for most cases I can think of.

The PE firm that bought my last employer mandated use of Monday and it was awful. I had excel and google sheets that were far superior and less clunky than their shite program. 0/10 would not recommend
