Reviews
“I appreciate Slack for allowing teams to create dedicated spaces for different projects or topics, making discussions more focused and manageable. Slack is the base of all our communication every day. Also, the platform is so self-explanatory the seamless integrations with other tools streamline workflows, keeping everything in one place. We were able to automate all our notifications from JIRA, and it was easy to implement our use case. This organized approach fosters collaboration and reduces clutter, which significantly enhances productivity.”
— Manasvi P. | Customer Success Associate (Source)
Limitations
Slack’s real-time nature can lead to information overload, with users receiving constant notifications and messages. Managing and prioritizing these messages can also be challenging.
“What I despise the most in Slack is the never-ending stream of notifications. The beeps or vibrational reminders of your new messages go on and on, becoming both overwhelming and distracting. It’s easy to get pulled into too many conversations at once; the interface can feel messy, especially for new or occasional users.”

2. Asana

Features
- Drive Cross-Team Efficiency: Streamline projects with Timeline, Board, and List views. You’ll also gain clarity on bottlenecks and allocate work with ease.

Reviews
“Asana is a great project management tool for dispersed teams. I like that they offer the ability to check off tasks as they are completed. Asana also enables users to break complicated tasks into more manageable steps. It offers excellent collaboration features for team project management.”
– Aubrey Nekvinda | Content Marketer at Hubstaff
“Its visuals and ease of use make it exceptionally simple to use; structuring processes around projects also aids in maximizing productivity. I appreciate the openness across the many initiatives I am participating in since it allows me to see how my work affects others and vice versa. I also like how we can combine many technologies to provide a single source of status information. It also comes with all the tools you need for proper project monitoring, including task cards and checklists.”
– Jannie Padberg | (Source)
Limitations
Asana’s feature-rich environment can be overkill for simple tasks or small personal to-do lists. It’s often more suited for teams and complex projects. Asana’s rich feature set can also make learning and navigating challenging for new users. Teams may need some time to get used to the platform.
“At first, it was a little tricky to figure out, and I did battle a bit to grasp the features. Another challenge is maintaining a clutter-free workspace. It requires consistent effort to tick off tasks, and tasks can accumulate and lead to a sense of task overload, which looks overwhelming and feels it too.”

- Premium: $13.49 per user/month (billed monthly)
- Business: $30.49 per user/month (billed monthly)
3. Zoom
At the heart of modern communication lies Zoom, a platform that’s been connecting distributed teams long before remote work became popular. Zoom’s mission is clear and heartfelt – to connect people by fostering happiness through shared experiences. Zoom is a game-changer, an intelligent collaboration platform that redefines how businesses connect.
Features
- Seamless Connectivity: Zoom offers effortless, high-quality video conferencing. Use it to connect with your team, clients, and loved ones, regardless of location.
- Immersive Meetings: Crystal-clear video and audio quality, screen sharing, and interactive features make virtual meetings engaging and efficient.
- Team Collaboration: Zoom provides integrated team chat, file sharing, and real-time collaboration tools, making teamwork seamless.
- Omnichannel Cloud Contact Center: For businesses, Zoom’s omnichannel contact center solutions enable exceptional customer service and support across various channels.
- Smart Recordings: Meetings and webinars are easily recorded and stored, allowing you to revisit important discussions and share content effortlessly.
- Interactive Whiteboard: Enhance presentations and brainstorming sessions with a digital whiteboard that fosters creativity.
Reviews
“As a frequent user of Zoom for workplace communication, I find it to be an invaluable tool for keeping teams connected, especially in a hybrid or remote work environment. The video conferencing feature is incredibly reliable, offering high-quality video and audio even with larger groups, which is essential for our team meetings and client presentations. I also appreciate the screen sharing and whiteboard functions, which make it easy to collaborate in real-time on design mockups and marketing strategies.”
– Matt C. | Creative Director (Source)
Limitations
Zoom is a great tool, but it’s declining in popularity as tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack’s Huddles feature have started to catch up. The primary limitation is Zoom fatigue — an issue that plagues users on Zoom’s competitor platforms as well.
“Some of the other features that are now in Zoom Workplace are pretty obtrusive and get in the way of just wanting to conduct a meeting or being on the phone. Support with Zoom has become a nightmare to use. I used to be able to quickly change billing and add or subtract services all within the Zoom.us portal, but now I have to go through some sort of billing support to get anything done, and between the chatbots not knowing what to do, waiting on hold with support, the support site being down a lot, and getting transferred from one department to the next, really makes me think if there is something else out there (i.e., Teams, Slack) that would work just as well.”

- Pro: $15.99 per user/month
- Business: $19.99 per user/month
- Business Plus: $25 per user/month

4. Basecamp
Basecamp is more than a project management platform — it’s a catalyst for small teams to reach new heights. Designed with your success in mind, Basecamp empowers you to work smarter, manage projects efficiently, and enjoy the journey of collaborative work. Basecamp can make your daily work more enjoyable and productive.
Features

Reviews
“We were in a rapid search for a platform to display all of our projects, assignments, and schedules, at the time of which Basecamp has helped us in organizing these requirements for our work at our fingertips. Its storage facility has helped us store and collaborating with each other on documents, files, etc. All of its features like the schedule display, were easy to implement and keep us up to date without progress.”
– Abhinash B. | (Source)
Limitations
There may be a learning curve for those new to project management software as you explore and utilize Basecamp’s many features. While Basecamp has a mobile app, some users might find that it has a few limitations compared to the desktop version.
“Basecamp has limited integrations with 3rd party applications. It has a standardized structure and very limited customization options. It is difficult to add subtasks to primary tasks which make the planning confusing.”
– Ashish J. | Mid-Market | (Source)
Pricing

5. Invision (Freehand)
InVision is on a mission to redefine how people work together, making collaboration smarter, faster, and more accessible than ever before — and that’s why they’re partnering with Miro as Freehand. With a commitment to connecting teams across distances and disciplines, it empowers global enterprises and small teams to achieve transformative collaboration.
Features
- Prototyping: InVision is renowned for its powerful prototyping capabilities. It allows designers to create interactive and animated prototypes of their web and mobile app designs.

Design systems also help you maintain consistency across projects. Use these systems to create cohesive and brand-compliant designs that are easier for teams. You can also simplify the creation and maintenance of design systems with InVision’s Design System Manager.
Reviews
“InVision is a great tool to showcase the new features and tools our Product team is building. I use InVision to upload my potential product designs to bring to my user interviews. InVision makes it super easy to share a prototype link with a potential user to have them click around what the product might look like and give real-time feedback.”
– Karly M | (Source)
Limitations
Like other tools on this list, InVision’s capabilities are vast, and users may need time to explore and fully leverage all available features. As with any software, teams will likely experience a learning curve in the user onboarding and adoption phase.
“Prototyping is lacking, not enough features. Figma is better at this. InVision is very buggy. They don’t take time to QA their updates for Craft. InVision’s support doesn’t take the time to understand your issue, they respond VERY slowly, and if you have a screenshot and a link to the prototype forget it, they won’t even look.”

6. Notion
Notion is an integrated workspace where seamless collaboration and productivity thrive. With Notion, you’ll experience the power of a connected workspace that caters to diverse needs, leverages AI, and helps teams achieve more together.
Features
- Wiki: Centralize your knowledge effortlessly. In Notion, wikis become information hubs, enabling swift navigation and easy access to everything your team needs.

Reviews
“Notion has made it very easy for me to prepare documents and collaborate effectively with my team. It has literally become our go-to knowledge base product that we use on a daily basis. It’s very easy to setup, and the team is always very helpful whenever we need to reach out to them. Finally, the fact that we can easily connect notion to other products we use in the company has made it a game changer for us.”
– Prince ‘Okwy’ O. | Product Lead – Product Operations | (Source)
Limitations
While Notion offers offline access to your documents and pages, it’s less robust than other dedicated offline tools. You may find that certain features are unavailable or limited when working offline.
There are also some formatting and layout rendering issues that may cause your content to appear incorrectly on mobile devices or when using the mobile app. While other tools allow you to seamlessly design views for both web and mobile, you may need to make adjustments in Notion when creating content for mobile consumption.
“While I appreciate many aspects of Notion, I find a few areas somewhat disappointing. One of the things I dislike about Notion is its steep learning curve. It can be overwhelming for new users to understand all the features and functionalities, hindering the onboarding process. Additionally, the initial setup and customization options can feel complex and time-consuming. Another aspect that I find limiting is the lack of offline access. Notion heavily relies on an internet connection, and while it offers a mobile app, the offline functionality is quite limited. This can be inconvenient when I need to access my notes or documents in situations with poor or no internet connectivity.”

7. Trello
Trello is the digital version of the sticky notes that once littered desktop computers, white boards, and other traditional in-office staples. This digital twist to the classic Kanban board is great because it allows you to collaborate with a familiar method while taking full advantage of the modern benefits of remote work.
Features
- Views. Trello may be known for the Kanban board view, but there’s also an array of other options like calendars, timelines, and lists to sort your work any way you’d like.
- Butler. AI is becoming increasingly popular. Fortunately, Trello is all over this emerging concept with their codeless automation they’re calling Butler. You can use it to create custom rules, buttons, and commands to streamline remote workflows on any Trello board.
- Integrations. Choose from over 200 integrations with your favorite communication apps, project management software, CRM tools, and more.
Reviews
“Trello’s visual simplicity and flexibility are what I like best. It’s easy to organize tasks, move them across stages, and collaborate with my team. Whether I’m working on blog content, YouTube videos, or other marketing projects, Trello’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows for smooth management. I also appreciate the wide range of power-ups and integrations, especially with Google Drive and Slack, which help streamline our workflows. The ability to automate tasks using Butler is another huge time-saver for our team.”
– Çağrı M. | Content Marketing Manager | (Source)
Limitations
While Trello has made major strides to be known as more than a basic Kanban tool, it doesn’t make much sense as an enterprise-grade tool. However, it does offer enterprise plans for teams of up to 5,000 people. That said, many users feel like it lacks the core components of enterprise-level remote collaboration software.
“While Trello excels at simplicity, it can feel limited when managing more complex projects. Features like detailed reporting, time tracking, and analytics are missing or require third-party integrations. It would also be helpful to have better task dependencies or Gantt chart functionality natively. Although there are workarounds with power-ups, these features could improve Trello’s utility for teams managing larger projects or requiring more detailed project management capabilities.”
– Çağrı M. | Content Marketing Manager | (Source)
Pricing
- Free: $0 for an unlimited number of team members
- Standard: $6 per user per month
- Premium: $12.50 per user per month
- Enterprise: $17.50 per user per month (billed annually)
8. ClickUp
ClickUp is one of the premier online project management tools, but it’s not as intuitive as users would like. To make matters worse, ClickUp users tend to report delays, bugs, and other issues to customer support and are met with lofty response times.
With ClickUp, you can automate task management, create documents for collaboration, set goals, and more right from one virtual collaboration tool.
Features
- Task management. Manage projects with multiple templates and views, set time estimates, and add Sprint Points to better budget your time and streamline project management.

Reviews
“ClickUp is the Swiss Army knife of project management systems. It has completely transformed how our team manages projects and tasks. The flexibility and customization options make it easy to adapt to any workflow, whether you’re managing simple to-do lists or complex projects with multiple dependencies. The user interface is intuitive, and the ability to integrate with other tools has significantly streamlined our processes. I love the detailed reporting features, which provide valuable insights into team performance. ClickUp’s continuous updates and new feature rollouts show they genuinely listen to user feedback. The recent AI update genuinely helps me to find things that need my attention. Would always recommend.”

9. Dropbox
Dropbox is a premier cloud-based storage app and one of the best places for remote teams to collaborate. Remote teams can store files, work as a team in DropBox Paper, and integrate with over 300,000 tools to streamline remote collaboration.
Features
- Cloud-based storage. Dropbox is an industry-leading cloud storage provider. Store photos, videos, documents, audio files, and more. You can transfer files with ease and leave comments to streamline workflows.
- AI-powered search. DropBox Dash helps you find, secure, organize, and share any of your company files with the help of AI. You can also connect Dropbox to other tools in your tech stack and search through them as well.
- DropBox Paper. Create, edit, and collaborate on documents with your remote team. Create presentations, charts, and other visualizations to improve remote collaboration.
Reviews
“I work from both home and a physical office location, so the ability to have all my documents in one place and accessible anywhere is incredibly helpful and convenient. Unlike other cloud services, I pick and choose what gets saved and where it gets saved. Having used a service before where everyhing I saved on my computer got uploaded, I quickly used up a lot space that was unnecessary. I use Dropbox multiple times a week, either to reference back to something or to add for future use.”
— Jennifer J | Small Business Owner (Source)
Limitations
DropBox is one of the best storage tools on the market, but it doesn’t come without its share of imperfections. Users cite costly additional storage and security concerns as pitfalls.
“While Dropbox is a trusty companion, even the most dependable of friends have their quirks. Sometimes, it’s like that old screen door that doesn’t quite shut right—syncing might lag a bit, leaving you waiting when you’re in a hurry. And when you’re working with a lot of files, you might find yourself running out of space quicker than you’d like, just like that attic that seemed plenty big until it wasn’t. There’s also the matter of security—though Dropbox does its best to keep your things safe, you can’t help but wonder if it’s as secure as that old family lockbox. It’s a fine tool, but like anything, it’s not without its imperfections.”
— John V. | Interactive Marketing Specialist (Source)
Pricing
Dropbox provides remote users up to 2 GB of space for free. If you wish to exceed the 2 GB storage limit, you can choose from an array of different pricing plans:
- Plus: $11.99 per user/month for 1 user, 2 TB of storage, and file transfer of up to 50 GB.
- Business: $18 per user/month for 3+ users, 9 TB of storage, a shared workspace, team folders, groups, roles, permissions, and more.
- Essentials: $19.99 per user/month for 1 user, 3 TB of storage, and transfer of up to 100 GB.
- Business Plus: $30 per user/month for 3+ users, 15 TB of storage, end-to-end encryption, and more.
10. Miro
Think of Miro as your remote work whiteboard. It’s a collaboration tool for remote teams that helps you create designs, articulate complicated workflows visually, and collaborate on other ideas from afar.
Features
- 300+ templates. Choose from over 300 fully customizable templates for brainstorming, Agile project management, and more.
- Miro Assist. Generate diagrams, speed up the research process, write notes, and more with the help of Miro’s AI-powered assistant.
- Integrations. Integrate with over 150 of your favorite tools to streamline productivity for your remote team.
Reviews
“What I like best about Miro is its endless possibilities. Whether its designing your own phrame from stratch or picking from one of the endless templates that are offered, for any business technique there is always a template to choose from, which you can then customize. It really helps when you know what you are supposed to be doing e.g writing a user flow, but you don’t know how to get started. That’s when the endless template examples come in handy.”
— Sabrina I. | Business Analyst (Source)
Limitations
Like Figma and other virtual whiteboard tools, Miro users can find boards a bit overwhelming to navigate. As ideas begin to sprawl in an array of different directions, it becomes far too easy to lose track of certain ideas. Users also find it frustrating that Miro prioritizes certain unnecessary features while neglecting basic ones that competitors already offer.
“It is a real hassle to adapt to the many changes in its user interface. Certain functions and interface elements are relocated and are all but intuitive to find. Most important though, there is a really hiddeous amount of silly little features that are being added on a constant basis. On the other hand, there are basic functions that Miro is still lacking. I would suggest to concentrate on the later, rather than adding even more bells and whistles.”
