I manage 30+ employees, which includes at least 20 software engineers. My team and I eventually built an Employee and Project management software that addresses pain points of managing multiple teams and multiple projects. We don't use JIRA/ASANA or other third party HR tools. We are currently refining these tools for other companies to use also, especially this time of COVID-19.

Nice, what did you not love about jira/asana that caused you to build your own?

First, is about simplicity, ASANA, for example, used to be very easy and straightforward to use, now got more complex than before. JIRA has tons of features, most of it we don't need. We wanted to use a simple tool that focuses on getting things done and enables us to make data-driven decisions.

Second, is we want to have full control over the data and build features custom to our needs.

Third, we don't have to pay per user per month.
