We’re a fully remote team of 75 devs and solutions architects, all-in on AWS. Current collaboration is a fragmented mess: Slack for chat, Confluence for docs, Jira for tickets, and a dozen other point solutions. The overhead is killing velocity.
We need one platform to consolidate:
- Real-time chat (with threads)
- Document collaboration (not just sharing, but collaborative editing)
- Project/task management (lightweight, not full-blown Jira)
- Video calls (integrated, not a separate Zoom license)
- Must have robust API and AWS SSO (SAML 2.0) support.
We’ve looked at:
- **Slack + Notion + Zoom**: Tried it. Context switching between tabs is a productivity tax. Notion’s real-time performance with 50+ concurrent editors is poor.
- **Microsoft Teams**: Deep integration with Azure AD is there, but the document experience (SharePoint/Office Online) feels clunky for technical documentation. Also, a hard sell for a Linux-heavy shop.
- **Discord**: Surprisingly good for chat/voice, but document collaboration is non-existent and the permission model is a joke for enterprise.
I want hard data, not marketing fluff. Specifically:
- Actual latency figures for collaborative editing with 50+ users on a single doc.
- True per-seat cost at our scale with annual billing.
- SAML SSO implementation specifics—any gotchas with AWS IAM Identity Center?
- Daily active user benchmarks for teams of ~100.
If you’ve migrated a similar AWS-centric team, what did you pick and what were the measurable productivity gains? Share your migration playbook if you have it.
