Discussion forum apps that integrate into Canvas?

[kbeyer]

Since Canvas appears determined to force the Discussions Redesign on everyone beginning 7/20, I was wondering if anyone has used one of the many apps that integrate into Canvas as an alternative to the built in discussion tool?  I've browsed through a few, like Atomic Discussions and Flip but there are a lot I don't recognize or know anything about...  

If anyone has played around with these and has recommendations, reviews, insights, etc., please share!

I am looking for any viable alternative to the Discussions Redesign!!!

Some swear by Piazza. It seems to be popular among STEM educators.
