#192I had to dig deep for this since I'm a FOSS specialist and advocate. But if you're going to count softwares that I depend on then Active Directory and vCenter come to mind.

#193Beyond Compare. I find this tool very very useful when you have lots of integration job. If you have an enterprise version, then you can do stuff like compare and merge files across two servers, compare PDFs, ZIPs, JAR, and obviously plain text files. This is a tool for which I definitely ask for an Enterprise Version license whenever I join a new organization.
beyond compare gets bonus points for having special features for diffing and merging tabular data. for example, if you're comparing a couple of CSV files, you can mark some columns as unimportant to help focus on diffing and merging differences in the remaining columns you deem are important. this can be quite helpful if manually regression testing tabular output from some report generating tool, where most of the output is deterministic but the tool pollutes one column with timestamps or ids that differ every run.
the ability to compare and merge directories is also nice (although a number of open source diff and merge tools also support this -- e.g. kdiff3, meld)

#194https://datastudio.google.com/ When you've maxed out on what you can do with spreadsheets.
Didn't know this thing existed. Thank you ;)

#195Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is anyone just using Git{Hub,Lab,Tea} issues and being fine with it? Is the absence of a Kanban board a deal breaker? Perhaps for management.
How do you deal with projects that have multiple Git repositories associated with them, but need to have their issues tracked in a single place?
you can define github projects that source and display issues from github issue trackers across multiple github repos. this is certainly a feature of on-site deployments of github enterprise. i am not sure if it is offered as part of github.com's enterprise offering or to non enterprise users. but hey, this is the enterprise software thread.

#196Odoo ERP. Select the apps (Sales, CRM, Newsletter etc.) you need and profit from great integrations. Gets rid of all those data back and forth between independent applications. You can also create your own apps.
Looking at it right now and it does seem to be a wonderful ecosystem with reasonable pricing. Do you happen to know use cases examples that you can share?

#197I think Slack is the only enterprise software that I use every day and don't hate.
I'd agree with you 5 years ago, but now Slack turned into typical enterprise monster - slow, glitchy, annoyingly distracting.
5 years ago I encouraged team to use slack more, now I encourage to avoid it at all cost and use email

#198Jetbrains IntelliJ. I use it for html, JS, CSS, Vue, node.js, Python, Java, SQL, etc. I’ve tried visual studio and some other IDEs, but find intellij to be superior in every way.
Wow.. I hate it... the quality of IntelliJ has really fallen. I've been using it for like 5 years now and I'm constantly fighting it There are literally 20-40 serious bugs that impact me daily.
Yes, I'd love to know some of the bugs that you are talking about.

#199Datadog - the amount of observability we have in our infrastructure is insane. I can find out what’s wrong within a few seconds.
+1 for Datadog. I can't comprehend how they scale to accommodate the data we send them, let alone everyone else. Literally tens of thousands of data points per second, around the clock, for years. Thousands and thousands of unique keys. And it's all queryable instantaneously. All for about 1/4 of a developer's salary.
It seems like they have some best in class engineers. Kudos to them.

#200JIRA. It's powerful, customizable, flexible and drives workflows and productivity across millions of companies around the world. It's the SAP of issue tracking. Despite all the baggage, they still try continuously to improve the UX of the software so it stays relevant and relatively usable.
There's definitely problems with it (its performance can be awful and require dedicated server clusters to keep it up at larger orgs), but come on let's be honest, it's a huge success story and lets orgs do things "their way" with project management and software development.
