Hey HN!<p>I'd like to discover some new or maybe lesser known SaaS products or services.
What SaaS products do you or your organisation use?<p>- Why did you choose it? What is the main problem it solves?<p>- Where there any competitors at the time you had to choose? If so, what did they lack over your choice?<p>- What is your experience so far?<p>I am not working for any SaaS related company. I am just curious to see "what's out there" and what services are used for what purpose. Products/services which one does not think of immediately (e.g. uptime monitoring) but still help a lot.
For me, the best known or most important ones are e.g. GitHub, Trello, Slack, Google (e.g. Analytics), AWS, Pingdom. But I'm sure there are a lot more out there which could be helpful.<p>Thank you for your input and time in advance! :)
Amazon S3 -- google has, blackblaze has for cheaper. When I chose, google was still listing object storage as "beta".<p>Google domain registration -- includes DNS & email forwarding, e.g. to my gmail account.<p>uptimerobot.com -- monitoring, on free tier.<p>boomerang for gmail -- set a time to return messages, I pay $5/month. I send follow-up/business emails and I set it to return to my inbox in X days if no response. Helps me ensure I don't drop the ball, and much easier than scheduling on a calendar.
I tried streak's boomerang a bit, but boomerang lets you use natural-language to pick ANY time to come back, including changing the time zone.<p>Phaxio -- fax as a service (in and out), pay per page. Great API, no monthly commitments/minimums (for outbound). I don't know of anything comparable.
