Used For

• +**Your team keeps losing track of who's doing what from chat discussions** → Turn any message into a task with one click, assign it, track it on kanban boards
• +**You're paying for Slack plus Asana plus Zoom and your CFO is asking questions** → All three tools in one subscription with unlimited users on higher tiers
• +**Server alerts flood your chat but nobody acts on them** → Active Response Technology automatically creates tasks and assigns them when specific events trigger
• +Topics replace Slack's messy threading - discussions stay organized around specific subjects instead of getting buried

Best For

• >50-200 person companies tired of paying for Slack AND a separate task manager
• >IT teams doing incident response who need chat conversations to become tickets automatically
• >Operations managers who want workflow automation without learning Zapier

Not For

• -Teams under 10 people — per-user pricing makes this expensive compared to Slack's generous free tier
• -Companies heavily invested in Slack's ecosystem — switching costs are brutal when you've built custom integrations
• -Anyone needing advanced project management — the task features are basic compared to Monday.com or Jira

Pairs With

• *Zapier (to connect to the 2,000+ apps Ryver doesn't integrate with natively)
• *Google Drive (for file storage since Ryver's built-in sharing is basic)
• *Zoom (for actual video meetings until Ryver's beta calling gets better)
• *Active Directory (for single sign-on so people don't need another password to forget)
• *Okta (enterprise identity management that plays nice with Ryver's SSO)

The Catch

• !Video calls are still in beta with a 5-user limit, so you'll need Zoom for bigger meetings anyway
• !Connecting to other apps requires a separate Zapier subscription, adding cost and complexity
• !Cloud-only with no self-hosted option, which kills it for companies with strict data requirements

Bottom Line

Slack plus Asana in one app, but costs more than just using Slack's free tier.
