IT Director at Home Base Appraisal Management (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • Makes communication easy, either with teams or direct IM.
  • It's fun to use, especially the gif feature.

  • Reliability - I have dealt with several cases where employees don't receive messages or don't receive them till much later.

Return on Investment

Pros

  • Ease of use: It is extremely easy to use Glip and its features.
  • Ease of adoption: You can start using Glip in a couple of minutes and scale its use to the whole team, no hassle.
  • Scalability: This products scales well both in users and in pricing.

Cons

  • Integrations with other products: Glip has some integrations but not all you would like. There are a dozen or more apps you can use the product with, but your team might have the need to connect the app with another popular product or service that Glip still does not have (Confluence, for example).
  • Can't create bots or custom integrations (?): As far as I know, you cannot create bots or custom integrations with other apps.
  • Performance: Looks a bit slow to start for the first time, the app will load slower than other apps. Not sure if this is because I work on a large team or anything else, but the feeling that Glip loads slower than anything else makes me think that the app's performance has some room for improvement.

Return on Investment

  • Less money to be paid for the same service.

Co-Founder in Sales at Matter Of Pact (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

  • Task management -- both as an individual and as a team. It's easy to assign tasks and monitor progress.
  • Video conferencing -- we use Glip to host calls. I appreciate the ability to host a call and manage tasks immediately within the same application.
  • Scheduling -- schedule meetings and tasks, and they will immediately appear in your calendar.

Cons

  • User Experience -- it can sometimes be confusing knowing whether you're looking at your personal tasks or that of the group.

Return on Investment

  • Glip has made it immensely more practical to manage team meetings, coordinate tasks, and hold video conferences. While some other apps might have a simpler user interface, you pay the price in having to adopt multiple applications to get the job done.

Alternatives Considered

Zoom, Slack and Wunderlist
