    Zulip
    Zulip is great at what it does, and I enjoy using this product every day, but to me it serves as an alternative to the bigger names in instant communication. If they had more features and offered a simpler profile layout that was easier to look at, my rating would be higher.

    • It would be nice to see a person's title under their name when you click their profile
    • It would be nice to see a person's direct report when you click their profile
    • Including more personalized information in the quick view of a profile would be nice

    Again, I would like to see more personalized features pertaining to the quick view you get when you click on someone's profile within the software. I do like how it offers a desktop app as well as web browser support. I also like the customizing of notification sounds, there's a lot to choose from which is ideal.

    I did not have a say in my company choosing Zulip as their main communication channel, but I can understand why they chose Zulip over any other program. It does house different discussion topics better than Teams does in my opinion, and you're able to easily add subtopics underneath them.

    • I don't feel suited to answer this as I have been with my organization for less than 2 months.
