Glip Software

Glip has transformed our team communication efforts. I no longer worry if a task is going to be completed on time or forgotten. WIth Glip, we are able to stay organized and communicate more effencently. It has met our needs well.

Pros

Glip has allowed my marketing team to work and communicate more efficiently. We market 40+ events annually, and Glip has allowed us to organize each event marketing plan, assign team-specific tasks, and upload documents with ease so that everyone on the team is informed. The organization and task management capabiliites of this software has been one of the best communications tools that we have ever used as a department.

Cons

The task assignment feature has been vital to our team, but it does not have the option of changing the task progress. Tasks can only be listed as incomplete or complete. I would love to have the capability, to change a task status to options like: working, pending approval, assistance needed, etc. so that our team can know what tasks others are struggling with or at what stage a task might be in.

Pros

Glip is great for boosting team communication. Glip makes it easier for everyone in our company to stay in contact and is much more efficient than using email.

Cons

No complaints about Glip. However, there are a lot of similar chat/messaging tools and Glip is just as comparable as any of the others.

Pros

It has a nice clean design, and it allows us to create teams and private chat groups.

Cons

The notifications need work - for some reason, I don't always get notified of incoming messages...often I don't realize I've gotten a message in the desktop app until I look at my phone and see a notification there.

Pros

Probably one of the best business chat software's we have used. It's integration with the RingCentral phone system makes this app a winner. From setting up different teams for different projects or departments to the mobile app I love almost everything about this tool.

Cons

I said almost everything earlier, giphy. While I love gif's and they can be hilarious, in the work environment sometimes they can get out of control. I'm pretty sure we have at least 2 channels that are nothing but gif conversations. While personally I find this awesome, professionally it can be very distracting.

Pros

Its easy to use and the layout are intuitive. This helps users feel comfortable with the interface making it more likely to be used. There is sufficient functionality to make it very useful without being overwhelming.

Cons

I wish it had better administrator controls over groups/teams and a high level view of how content is being created in the organization.

Pros

Glip has been a good collaboration tool for our company. I love that you can quickly message team members, attach files, and instantly start a video call. It is pretty cool how the RingCentral phone and Glip are now integrated into one solution.

Cons

I liked the name Glip, but understand why they changed it to RingCentral :)

Pros

Excellent messaging features, including practical things like tagging people, keyboard shortcuts, and inline attachment previews, as well as fun features like GIF's and Memes. Where Glip really stands out from the competition however is in its productivity features, and how easy it is to manage tasks, teams, notes, and calendar. Very versatile and accessible anywhere, as there are phone, desktop, and web apps all available. Vibrant, responsive community and support.

Cons

Honestly can't think of any drawbacks to the software at this time.

Pros

The thing that I like most about Glip is that it is super easy to use. I like that you can easily share files and that conversation history stays in the window at all times.

Cons

I don't have have anything about this software that I dislike.

It works most of the time, employees seem to like it.

Pros

This has cool social things like gifs, you can track the files shared in the chats, you can make check list .

Cons

It needs a lot of updating, sometimes it will hold messages and send them all at once.

Pros

In spite of being a long time Slack user, I decided to give Glip a try internally since our company was already leveraging Ring Central for VoIP and Meetings. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that no core feature sets were lacking and to find a couple of extras that were missing in Slack. The most useful of those extras has been task assignment/management.

Cons

In a perfect world the Google Calendar integration would be a bit more robust and flexible, but I'm fairly certain that's on Google anyway.

Our day to day processes has been fast-tracked by Glip.

Pros

At first, Glip was a new concept for us, but know. Well being able to jointly work on projects and files as a team without having to save and email then wait around for a reply, it is a no-brainer. The live text message is a perfect companion and is a wonderful tool. being able to screen share for trianing or just simple things like click here do this. has saved us countless cals and questions.

Cons

Cons are a tuff one the learning/just use it curve was on our end. Sometimes using something new is a tough thing to do, but once you do you ask yourself why didn't I do this sooner. That is the case with Glip. Just use it, you will be happy you did.

Pros

- It's much better than email. Allows you to chat and collaborate with your co-workers instantly.
- Has an integrated calling feature that allows you to make video calls within the app. It's useful to not have to load up Skype.

Cons

- The user interface is quite clunky and looks very dated.
- Locked the users out at random. It became so bad that the company moved to Slack.

Very easy to use and helps increase the communication with the team.

Pros

I like how easy this software is to use and how it has changed the way we communicate in the office. Emails can get cluttered and missed, but Glip allows you to quickly get your message across to the team in a fun way. If issues are going on, or if we need to meet, Glip makes it super easy to communicate that to the team. It is instant messaging in today's world. We can even quickly share websites, attachments, and is mobile friendly.

Cons

It would be nice to have notifications come up if a meeting is organized, similar to a calendar invite through Outlook.

It's a free communications tool; but there are others that do much more and do it better. Also has no linux integration.

Pros

It's free with our RingCentral contract. Seems to be light on system resources and isn't a required download.

Cons

It's integrated into all of RingCentral's products but there are many other solutions out there that do the same even better (some of which are also free). Has no way to disable those integrations so users often have to ask what it is and why it's proliferated.

Pros

Glip is very intuitive and easy to use. It allows quick, instant messaging throughout the company. You can create teams or talk 1 on 1. You can also incorporate notes, tasks, events, and files in your conversation, storing them all in a convenient "shelf" making it very easy to find that document you may have shared and lost once upon a time. We also LOVE the gif keyboard, makes company communications way more fun.

Cons

The software tends to crash or glitch every so often. It can be a little slow upon start-up, but that does not happen too frequently. Sometimes the notifications can be inconsistent or continue to pop up even if you have them turned off, but that is not too bothersome.

Pros

Glip by RingCentral is truly a game changer in the project management software industry. It's extremely innovative and offers a number of new and exciting features as well as an overall experience that it unrivalled by anything else on the market. It's also free with RingCentral, making it an even more enticing option.

Cons

There is a small yet very noticeable bug in Glip regarding the percentage completion of tasks, where Glip will report, for example, 20% of 40% being completed, even though it's actually just 20% more of the task being completed compared to before.

Pros

The thing I like most about this software is that it works smoothly with ring central to enable video calling features. Works really well for remote teams who have to schedule 1:1 calls, as well as company-wide video calls.

Cons

It seems like the software needs to update quite frequently. Moreso than Slack or anything similar, but I suppose this is to be expected.

Pros

It's free! It's simply included with RingCentral if you have them as your phone system. It has basic features and would be useful for any organization that hasn't implemented Slack.

Cons

I don't see Glip replacing Slack for companies that currently use Slack. The free version of Slack has more features and a lot more plugins. There really is no current compelling feature of Glip over Slack. There also isn't any true integration into RingCentral phones system out side of a button to open Glip.

easy to connect with my colleagues and save time to manage my tasks

Pros

It's easy to use and I would like that it can sync all messages to all endpoints and it's easy to manage your task and your schedule.

Cons

It takes a lot of time to refresh, and it takes a long time to render gif. It cannot change group's name.

It has helped our team improve our workflow and productivity, would recommend to any agency which works on various different tasks in different areas.

Pros

It has made day to day task logging, accountability and organisation improve in our department and given it's an add on with our RingCentral package, it also acts as a handy communication tool too. It has all the features you would need to help improve the productivity of your team.

Cons

Only one annoyance is how it displays the completed percentages of tasks - but that's very minor as doesn't effect the end output of the product.
