Beyond Slack & Trello: What's Your Stack for Secure Remote Team Collaboration?
"My team (a distributed group of 10+ developers and PMs) has been deeply revising our communication and task management stack for the past few months. The goal is to find the right balance between convenience, productivity, and critically, data security. The classic combo like Slack + Trello/Jira works but leads to constant context switching and confusion about where specific task-related discussions happened."
"We're exploring alternatives that either deeply integrate chat and tasks or prioritize security by design (E2EE). For instance, we've been looking at: Linear for its brilliant fusion of issue tracking and team collaboration. Twist for its asynchronous, thread-based approach. Solutions with built-in end-to-end encryption, like remote.team, where tasks and their discussions are tightly coupled in one thread, and encryption is a core feature, not an add-on."
A distributed team of over ten developers and product managers is reevaluating its communication and task management stack to balance convenience, productivity, and data security. The current Slack plus Trello/Jira combination causes frequent context switching and uncertainty about where task-specific discussions occur. The team is evaluating tools that tightly integrate chat and task tracking or prioritize security by design, including Linear, Twist, and end-to-end encrypted solutions like remote.team. The team seeks input on preferred tool stacks, priorities (integration, security, speed), experiences with mandatory E2EE, and trade-offs between all-in-one platforms and best-of-breed specialized tools.
