This was a big learning for us when we were first building out Kintaba[1].
Re: task management specifically-- having previously been at FAANG companies that built all their own tools I had not realized just how prevalent Jira is. It. is. EVERYWHERE. and IT orgs at companies from 3 to 300,000 people are absolutely married to their carefully customized version of it as a system of record for everything that happens or will happen.
We see many on-premise implementations as well despite the announced sunsetting of that product.
I'm sure there's a #2 and #3 out there but honestly I almost never see it (we do see clubhouse/shortcut from time to time... but even those folks tend to move to Jira within 6 months).
OT but it really makes me doubly impressed that Slack was able move into organizations so successfully from all corners such that it was able to dodge what would traditionally be a pretty big Atlassian-owned barrier.
the on-prem version helps you ensure that it's running fast and secure, or you can end up fucking up the performance part. But on-prem also means systems that are firewalled from internet might have access to it, which helps with integration.
