I wouldn&#x27;t trust... most of these... in an IT environment. There&#x27;s a few gems in there, but IT is such a wide field and the most key element is that you need solutions that fit into your existing environment and existing workflow.<p>For example, two of the highest rated tools are for Macs. I don&#x27;t have Macs in my environment. Nor is outsourcing our networking or security to a cloud service a good choice, and I&#x27;ve seen way too many issues with Google accounts to ever consider G Suite viable. (I&#x27;d go with any number of alternatives to Microsoft Office long before I&#x27;d even consider it.) Chat is a compliance nightmare to add in, and it&#x27;s outside the workflow of my environment, so everything Slack, Teams, etc. is all useless.<p>How many of these are PCI compliant? HIPAA compliant? Insert X compliance requirement compliant? (CJIS is a great one to bring up if you want whoever is trying to sell you something on the phone to give up and leave you be.)<p>Which is to say: My feedback here is that you need to filter for people&#x27;s needs. We don&#x27;t cargo cult in IT, I need more than a fancy brand logo.

So, this is a website that lets people submit the names of their favorite software and then vote on them.<p>Anyone want to take any bets on how long it takes to turn this into the latest clicker game?<p>What do I get if I manage to take my favorite software to a billion votes in the next five minutes? Is there a prize for that? 1&#x2F;2 ;) ?<p>Sadly, any time you have user submissions and voting on those submissions, you also have to think very long and hard about all the abuse you’re going to have to deal with.....

Clean design. Making my way through the list, my only complaint about the site is the inability to open each page in a new tab (middle click &#x2F; right click -&gt; open in new tab). Makes browsing the site a pain.

I gotta admit, the very fist thing I noticed was the &quot;This content is not secure&quot; cert warning in the URL bar.

So, where is the forum for discussing these tools and making suggestions?
