--- canonical: "https://www.softatlas.io/stacks/benchmark/serena" name: "The Serena stack" cohort: "Serena" companies_listed: 53 companies_in_atlas: 52 benchmark_companies: 29 distinct_tools: 126 updated: "2026-10-02" --- # The Serena stack ## What this measures Investments of Serena. Of the 53 on the list, 52 exist as a Soft Atlas organization and 29 have at least one tool identified. **Every percentage below is a share of the full 53**, including the 24 Soft Atlas has no tool for. Every figure is therefore a minimum: it can only understate how many of the cohort run a tool, never overstate it. A tool is counted for a company only when a source recorded it: a job posting naming it, a vendor listing the company as a customer, Soft Atlas market research, or an employee with a verified work email. It is counted once per company even when several sources agree. An area with no tool means Soft Atlas identified none, not that the company runs none. **Where the data comes from.** Vendors' customer references / Recent job postings / Social networks / What Soft Atlas members declare / Interviews / Companies and vendors themselves. **Minimum (never a ceiling).** Every figure is a minimum: the real share of companies using a tool can be higher, never lower. **One sub-category per tool.** Each solution is filed under one sub-category, the one of its core business, and that is where it is counted with all its customers. A suite covering several needs, say HRIS, payroll and learning, therefore appears once in a benchmark, even when its offer is broader. ## Most adopted tools 18 of 53 companies, 5 tools identified. - [Welcome to the Jungle](https://www.softatlas.io/welcome-to-the-jungle), 32% (17 companies), rated 4.3/5 on Soft Atlas (2 reviews) - Used by: Accenta, Descartes Underwriting, Goodvest, helios, Vitesse - [Amazon Web Services (AWS)](https://www.softatlas.io/amazon-web-services-inc), 13% (7 companies), rated 3.5/5 on Soft Atlas (2 reviews) - Used by: H Company, helios, Mindee, Odaseva, Orisha - [GitHub](https://www.softatlas.io/github), 13% (7 companies), rated 4.7/5 on Soft Atlas (3 reviews) - Used by: Electra, Evaneos, Inato, May, Underdog - [GitLab](https://www.softatlas.io/gitlab-inc), 13% (7 companies) - Used by: Bitstack, Descartes Underwriting, helios, Kili Technology, Lokki - [Google Cloud](https://www.softatlas.io/google-cloud), 13% (7 companies) - Used by: Descartes Underwriting, Evaneos, Mindee, Santé Académie, Underdog ## HR & Talent 19 of 53 companies, 15 tools identified.
