Glip Software

it is a good messaging app, there are many out there, this one stacks up well.

Pros

It is easy to use, and calendar is nice, many integrations make it very versatile. It is very comparable to slack.

Cons

doesn't consistently send push notifications to my phone when direct messaged or mentioned and that is a big beef. I wish it had a code snip-it like slack

Pros

Easy to use and great to assist with teamwork. Both the mobile app and the desktop app work well and help communication between teams.

Pros

The Ux design is new, slide menu have all the things you need, system is fast, response to most commands is fast

Cons

I hard coded look, I would love to have to the choose to redecorate the application with my own colors and images , maybe have a shortcut menu on the main page to my fav files and notes

Pros

The ability to organize so much and do so in a team atmosphere.
It's allowed for streamlining launch, creation, and marketing processes along with team meetings and real time communications.

Cons

I would LOVE to see a detailed separate project management feature similar to basecamp.
Other than that, I really can't think of much.

See review.

Pros

Glip is an [almost] all-in-one, [almost] unified productivity tool takes a bunch of what I liked about Asana's task-management, and combines it with the instant messaging functionality of Slack.

Glip makes team communication, collaboration, and task/project management as simple as instant messaging. Whereas Asana begins and revolves around task-management, Glip begins with conversation, which is a much more organic way to collaborate, I think.

Glip excels in its instant messaging, which does more than just the usual chat. In addition to allowing users to easily communicate with their teams and co-workers, Glip's desktop app allows you to create and assign tasks, create and share (and annotate) notes and documents, schedule events, and attach files from your preferred cloud service...all through its instant messenger. Pretty snazzy.

The mobile app is a significantly paired-down version of the desktop app, but again, it excels at instant messaging - very response, keeps you connected to your teams...just with less functionality.

Overall, I definitely recommend Glip.

Cons

While there are a few things here and there that need to be addressed, it's Glip's calendar that hurts the experience for me. To put it simply - Glip's calendar is inadequate. More specifically, the calendar fails in its ability to effectively schedule recurring tasks and events. While it does allow for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly scheduling, it does not allow for more specific intervals. For example, our organization has an evening staff meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of every month - we can't schedule it Glip. As much as I want to use the Glip calendar personally, it's shortcomings force me to use the ever-faithful Google Calendar...which means, it's not really an all-in-one solution (which is supposed to be Glip's hook!). My suggestion to the Glip team is to look at what Google Calendar does as far as scheduling is concerned and copy it!

As far as the mobile experience is concerned, my two biggest gripes are 1) the 7-day calendar (seriously, why?); and 2) the inability to sort/filter tasks. Aside from the above, it's just ok. As mentioned previously, it's definitely not as full-featured as the desktop app...but, since instant messaging is Glip's primary function, it does that trick just fine.

Improved communication tools, feature set that improved workflow.

Pros

Integrated webhooks allow Glip to be an all-in-one notification system. Task features, calendar, GIF's of course!

Cons

Notes are a little hard to organize. Would like some batch features for managing files, teams, tasks etc.

Pros

I love glip and having it available on my phone makes it easier to communicate with my team when I am away from my desk.

Cons

The product is very good at making it easy to communicate with team members. We have tried several different platforms and this works the best.

Easy communication.

Pros

Free tier is great for small teams. We use Glip to track tasks, chat, and our publishing calendar. We also love the Trello integration.

Cons

Sometimes has bugs. The mobile apps could use some polish and speeding up. Would love a better calendar interface, but it's mostly task driven.

Team collaboration and integration with some of our favorite apps make Glip sort of a one stop shop for all of our communication needs.

Pros

The ease of sharing files and documents, keeping track of all your groups and private conversations, adding new users and accessing voice and video chat from inside the Glip app are our favorite features.

Cons

Full, 100% integration between Google Calendar and Glip would be extremely beneficial. You can sync it to your calendar now but changes made to the calendar inside Glip don't sync the other way.

Cons

I use the browser version, and I wish I could use it on mobile. They no longer support my Android 4.

Tracking my monthly closing calendar.

Pros

I like that it keeps it all outside your Outlook so you don't have to go between mail and calendar. I don't use my calendar so I just have my task and when I finish it, it disappears!

Quick communication as easy as texting or emailing with a multitude of additional features.

Pros

Allows our team to quickly message each other, share files, and listen to VM our audio. I love that you can receive messages from someone else regardless of whether your are mobile or at a computer.

Cons

Glip sometimes glitches and it takes some time with tech support to resolve the issues. They are responsive but the fix doesn't always come quickly. As an integrated (free) service with Ring Central VOIP service you can't beat the pricing!

Being able to keep track of information in one place. And you can go back to it later.. instead of emailing yourself or texting people.. that stuff gets lost.

Pros

The 3 'tier' system. You can click on a task and have a conversation only about that task.. it will appear in the 3rd tier... or the 'shelf'. You can copy images very fast and paste them right in a conversation.

Cons

It has a bit of a learning curve. It works best if you design it for YOU. For example.. 'TEAMS'.. Can be anything. At first, you try to make a team of people... but I decided to just make it the main topic or subject. Then, Under that TEAM.. I could make a task, event... etc.

Pros

Something new with every release. Constantly improving functionality. New integrations every time I check. They care about the end users.

Cons

Could grow faster. Long time between the idea and implementation. They need to communicate better the future roadmap and let users to vote for the next big thing.

Glip is a great product but it's so similar to Slack I wonder if they are rebranding Slack? Much like Slack you can create channels and chat with members in your organization and it works great for company collaboration. I like that you can setup private chat channels to discuss issues with company employees without sharing that info with everyone. It's great that you can search previous chats and find conversations that took place in the past.

Pros

Ability to collaborate with employees in chat channels specific to the subject.

Cons

It's basically Slack and Slack has a much larger market share. I wonder if Glip can break through?

If you need a messaging platform for the office that does more than just let you send and receive messages then Glip may be what your are looking for. We needed a way to communicate back and forth but also a way to send tasks to each other and follow up with different projects. The cool thing about Glip is that it also ties into other programs with their integrations, such as Trello.

We keep getting messed around and they keep swapping our account manager. After we went into contract with them they changed a lot of the rules - told us we would have to pay an extra $ a month for US based support. Plus several of our lines were hacked and they did nothing to help us.

Glip helps us stay organized. We can update documents, communicate and track projects in a simple way. Glip offers mobile apps for your devices as well.

Team of 8 using it for the last 6 months. Great to keep in contact and track tasks. Calendar is the only issue: currently it's a one way gmail integration: both ways would be functional

Pros

Easy to use
Free when you have ring central
Good for task management and delegation

Cons

No 2 way gmail integration

Advice to Others

Use it instead of slack

Glip recently introduced their iPad app and it is one of the most marvelous additions to team communication. I would absolutely recommend using this app. It is the best collaboration tool on the market today. It allows you to connect with groups, introduce clients into projects safely, create tasks lists for yourself, and stay on top of all of your projects. Would absolutely recommend for an SEO or web development firm.
