Spiceworks
Spiceworks covers the Microsoft 365 outage from the help desk's side.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Comm100 and DoneDone — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Comm100 publishes steadily about AI support — none of it is Comm100 shipping anything
Ten entries, zero releases. The feed is buyer-guide and vertical content: Zendesk alternatives with on-premises deployment, SOC 2 Type II requirements, WCAG checklists for government, gamification in higher education, and a run of iGaming pieces. The newest post is the most substantive of them, reporting from Comm100's own 2026 AI Live Chat Benchmark that chatbots resolved 44.8% of more than 220 million analysed interactions.
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.

The positioning is consistent and clear even though the product is invisible here: on-premises deployment and compliance against Zendesk's cloud, sold into regulated and public-sector buyers. Publishing a resolution-rate distribution from its own traffic is the sharpest version of that argument, since it competes on measured honesty rather than claimed automation. What none of this shows is what Comm100 is building.
Expect the benchmark data to keep being mined for further posts, as it is the one asset here competitors cannot copy. Product direction cannot be read from this source at all, and the velocity score reflects posting cadence rather than shipping.

After the bigger summer releases, DoneDone has moved into steady polish of daily actions: replies, checklists, schedules and now formatting. Each release removes friction for small help-desk teams rather than adding a new module.
More small usability updates on email and tasks are likely; the entries give no sign of another large module soon.
