## Desk Reviews
  ### 1. Impractical for our distributed workforce

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Taylor Z. | Assistant Project Manager, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Desk?**

I have found that Desk has been quite effective in coordinating our team’s editing operation. This has the advantage of having content creation to publication in one platform as it doesn’t have to be referred elsewhere.

**What do you dislike about Desk?**

Working with collaborators that are outside feels somewhat unintuitive. Extending into freelance writer platforms, or design applications for graphics is not as smooth as I would like.

**What problems is Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Interesting is that thanks to Desk, our internal communication and structure of content has been enriched. It is eliminated confusion because all people use the already updated version of documents and other materials.
