When I first started programming, I didn't use a terminal multiplexer and finding tmux was a sort of revelation. I joked once on discord that "life before tmux was not life". It strikes me there are probably many other programs that I am not aware of that would be useful to know about.
I've occasionally found Luke's The Best Textbooks on Every Subject thread useful, so I thought a similar thread about software may be interesting.
Here are the rules:
Post the name of a program for a given need.
You must have tried at least 2 other programs designed for the same/similar class of problems.
You must briefly name the other programs you have tried and why you think your chosen program is superior to them.
Other programs I've tried: Hubspot, Sharpspring, Zoho
If you need a CRM for your business I would be hard-pressed to recommend anything other than Salesforce. It's the clear winner in terms of user interface design, flexibility, graphing, and integration. Competitors can be less expensive, and it's true that with all the bells and whistles Salesforce can cost something like $300/month per user, but on the low end the price is competitive and it comes with a host of features that you'd have to pay for on Hubspot and aren't available at all on Zoho.
