This will keep your team focused on the actual discussions at hand — not on learning to use the app.<br><br>That said, working knowledge of HTML is needed to go beyond the bare-bones use of phpBB.

Drupal</strong></p><p>Drupal is an open-source CMS tool that allows teams to create forums via “modules”.</p><p><img class='lazyload' data-src="https://static.helpjuice.com/helpjuice_production/uploads/upload/image/4752/direct/1660418692107-Drupal%20Forum%20Internal%20Communication.jpeg" style="width: truepx;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Drupal's internal forums are a popular open-source communication tool for employees"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://cdn.hostadvice.com/2018/09/how-to-set-up-a-user-forum-in-drupal-8--4.jpeg" id="" title=""><em>Source</em></a></p><p>Like phpBB, Drupal’s forums are simple and straightforward out-of-box, but are fully customizable across the board. Also like phpBB, gaining full control of these customization options requires a high level of technical knowledge — or additional investments into various plugins and modifications.<br><br>Even at its most basic level, though, Drupal allows for the creation of forums and sub-forums for targeted discussion. Multiple forums can also be grouped into containers based on themes, topics, or other factors — then archived for further knowledge preservation.<br><br><strong>Drupal Pros</strong></p><ul> <li>Customizable for developer teams</li> <li>Ever-growing ecosystem of plugins and modules</li> <li>Secure open-source software</li> </ul><p><br><strong>Drupal Cons</strong></p><ul> <li>Technical knowledge required to maximize use</li> <li>Requires strict, hands-on data maintenance</li> <li>Plugins and modules can be expensive</li> </ul><p><br><strong>Drupal Pricing</strong></p><ul><li>Drupal is free for basic use.</li></ul><h3 data-toc="true" id="team-messaging-apps-3"> <br>Team Messaging Apps</h3><p>For real-time communication (via text, audio, or video) team messaging apps are a necessity.<br><br>Modern messaging apps also make it easy to stay in touch and ensure everyone’s in alignment — even when communicating asynchronously.</p><p><strong>5.

For many teams, all communications run through Slack, either directly or via integrations.<br><br>As much as Slack has evolved, text-based communication is still what the tool does best. Channels and message threads keep conversations on-topic without distracting from the overarching discussion. Tagging and private messaging allows individuals and groups to stay in close contact — again, without disrupting the overall flow of conversation.<br><br><strong>Slack Pros</strong></p><ul> <li>Easy to onboard new users</li> <li>Flexible for light or power use</li> <li>Growing list of seamless <a href="https://helpjuice.com/blog/best-slack-apps" id="" title="">integrations and apps</a> </li> </ul><p><br><strong>Slack Cons</strong></p><ul> <li>Difficult to keep chats, rooms, and information organized</li> <li>Subpar video conferencing quality</li> </ul><p><br><strong>Slack Pricing</strong></p><ul> <li>Free for limited features and stored messages</li> <li>Pro: $6.67/month per user</li> <li>Business: $12.50/month per user</li> </ul><p><br><strong>6.
