Grammarly has a much more natural tone to suggestions. Often, when trying to rewrite an email or a letter/document with other products, it's hard to match those tones and still keep your document sounding authentic and with human empathy. Also, having the ability to make …

I highly recommend its usage in Teams meetings to prepare a session transcript, meeting minutes,
next steps and recognize speech by person. Also within the meeting recording, there is separation between the people talking at the time. The Copilot image creation is very accurate and useful to
customize my PowerPoint presentations and other documents

Pros
Grammarly
  • Ease of use - Grammarly is super easy to use. Anyone can use the app whether in a text editor like Microsoft Word or on the Grammarly website.
  • Integration - This one is a game-changer. It integrates with the main programs I use on a regular basis including email, Microsoft Office, Firefox, desktop, phone and iPads. I didn't need to change to anything or use something different so it was an ideal match.
  • Goals - This is a really cool function of Grammarly. With Goals, you can choose your audience, formality and domain type. So it works for a wide range of users. Depending on the audience type, Grammarly automatically can suggest changes to your content to help ensure your goals are being met.

  • Good analysis of the ticket system at the service desk, so that this can be anticipated properly
  • For the management of IT environments, quick examples of scripting for desired solutions
  • For consultants and managers, they co-pilot a technical report into language understandable to a non-technical client, including a visual summary.

Cons
Grammarly
  • User experience/technical issues on certain tools - in Google Calendar, for instance, Grammarly checks text that you type into the "Email Guests" modal window on calendar events. However, because of the way Google calendar works, if you right-click a word that Grammarly highlighted, the calendar event modal window will close and you will lose everything you typed. This is an extremely frustrating experience that has gotten me multiple times.
  • Incorrect suggestions - it doesn't happen that often, but occasionally Grammarly does highlight words or make suggestions that don't make sense or aren't optimal. I'm sure the Grammarly team is working continuously to improve the tool to make it smarter and smarter.
  • Lack of support on all platforms - although Grammarly works on most text areas you encounter online, there are still some areas it doesn't work - I'm not sure if this is an issue with Grammarly or not, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

  • The quality of image generation in Microsoft Copilot could be improved. Compared to other AI platforms, Copilot's images often fall short in quality and frequently contain typos.
  • When generating agents and chatbots, Microsoft Copilot currently doesn't appear to support file download functionality.
  • The email reply function is useful, but the responses can sometimes be overly elaborate. It would be helpful to have more options for adjusting the tone.

Either I'm as dumb as a bag of nails, or Grammarly has been an invaluable tool in our communication arsenal since we've been users since 2017. I don't recall which podcast we heard it on, but it may have been when Jordan Harbinger was on Art of Charm. I listen to about 8 podcasts a day, so it was probably on something I listened to, demo'd it, and then ponied up for a paid subscription.

Usability
Grammarly
It was very easy. I have it applied to all of my browsers as an extension so that I know I have entirely accurate grammar in anything I write for my company. I appreciate having something that will always be applied to anything on my computer. I wish I didn't need to use the Grammarly keyboard on mobile; I want it to read my text boxes like my computer does.

it is nearly perfect and it’s usability one of the main factors and contributing to the score is how versatile this tool is. it is vastly usable in a multitude of circumstances, and has a few limitations, but overall this product works well for what it is intended. It is very helpful for some otherwise time consuming tasks.

Support Rating
Grammarly
I have not really used customer support. I used the FAQ page to see how to re-install Grammarly because it wasn't functioning properly in longer documents. It seems to be working better now, but it still does not always underline all of the issues in the actual text. Thus, it is sometimes difficult to know where the errors are located.

Perhaps if you have a team that is not overly computer savvy, which in that case, I'd challenge your hiring decision, there's not much involved. I'm sure there are YouTube videos that go in-depth about implementation but it's really quite simple.

Nothing comes close to Grammarly in terms of ease of use and quick setup. It practically works right out of the box without any rigorous configuration. It also allows you to pick a specific dialect which isn't available in other apps. And since Grammarly introduced AI features, its counterparts lost their advantage.

I think It lost the race for now. I don't think Microsoft will keep investing on it since we have better tools outside their environment. In my opinion, Microsoft Copilot is not even in the benchmark tools and in the race for AGI. I think Microsoft is way behind and Microsoft Copilot suffered the lack of investment like the one made by its competitors.

  • Copilot has had a huge positive impact on my productivity. My job requires a lot of author and customer interaction, so since I use Copilot, I dont need to spend hours in my workday answering emails.
  • Copilot has also helped with my data analysis skills. I use the data analysis to create proposals and I have noticed a significant increase in project approvals after I have started using Copilot.
  • One of the business objectives of my company is to create high quality education resources. Since Copilot is integrated across platforms and departments in all office locations across the world, it has helped streamline operations in my company. This has definitely supported in achieving this objective.
