His work is built on the principle of discussion - for each task, the service creates a separate chat, in which a colleague invites team members. Discussions can be divided into channels.

Its search features are great with more variables to choose from than one can desire. And it's integration with my favorite To-Do list (ToDoist), this pretty much puts the icing on the cake.

When it comes to the platform itself, my favorite feature is the Integrations that are available in Twist – one in particular: the Team Check-In.

It's not the easiest tool to grasp an idea on, it takes time to adjust your brain from real time communication to this threaded version.

Twist is easy to set up and to understand. Channels are open to all team members by default.

I'm used to Slack and frankly, threads were confusing sometimes.

Lack of integration into any other systems (I would rather they focus on integrating with Slack than trying to  replace it.) Very poor editing tools. It's really hard to format anything in a post.

It helps sending quick messages and keeps a history of messages. I can refer back to Twist when i need to see old messages.

One potential downside to Twist is that it is not as feature-rich as some other communication tools on the market.

It makes you consider who this message is important to before sending unlike with other messengers where everyone gets notified unless they mute the whole channel.

I like the simpleness that it has. It is a straightforward app, with no flare of other tools... you post messages with links or attachments to channels or groups or private.

It's perfect for jobs like mine (copywritting/translating). Communication must be quick and easy.

Finding a specific word, sentence or piece of advice you shared somewhere on Twist should be something that's found quickly and easily – but, unfortunately, that isn't often the case.

The price is one of the most competitive in the market, especially for the features.

And it does so through a clean interface and a Channel-Thread-Message concept that, if you're used any team communication platform before, you should be familiar with.

I had troubles with mobile app. Some users were added to notifications by deafault and I didn't really know how to cancel it, when I just wanted to notify one of them.

Since it is not a chat, people tend to be more concise and focused on their messages, which is great.

Twist groups messages by topic. This makes it easy to configure important notifications.

Easy to use product, good explanation that directs us to navigate with ease, shows to be of good competence.

Limited app integrations. Still in it’s early evolution.

Less integration than competitors. It’s bad that the service is not completely free.

It's easy to import Slack channels but I don't know why you'd want to since private chats are excluded. Twist looks nice and clean.

Choose from a hand full of their existing application integrations, or Zapier, which adds hundreds more to the list. Twist is very easy to setup and very easy to use.

Twist is a great, mindful alternative to Slack for creative teams everywhere.

There's no compelling reason to switch from Slack/Flock to Twist. I don't even understand the name.

I moved from Slack to Twist and I don't regret it. I am super thankful for this platform help me to create a more sensible work environment.

Another feature I absolutely love is selecting people to notify when creating a new thread.

This helps cut down on the noise a little and allows you to keep an eye on the thread with more importance. Another cool feature is its integration to their ToDoist product.

This was a bit hard to do with Twist since it wasn't meant for that.

The design is pretty clean, and the app definitely feels focused down to purely communication. The website is pretty clear on its functionality and feature availability across pricing tiers.

It's easy to get access and get your environment set up quickly.

Their password requirements sometimes get in the way. I don't need some algorithm to decide if my passwords are too weak or not.

We believe its an excellent product for our requirements, a cost effective fully in the Cloud IT Infrastructure.

This turned out to be an excellent decision on cost and time savings.

It is very easy to use and intuitive. It's like having a fully functioning computer but in the cloud.

The only problems I have come across so far is that the download feature doesn't seem to like Excel.

V2 Cloud help us setup the machine we needed and also install our accounting software.

Overall, I am very satisfied with V2. I have the peace of mind knowing that I can work from anywhere if needed.

The Web browser connection feature does not support dual-monitor (only the Windows application does).

This cloud software is so user friendly, I sometimes forget I am not working on my own computer desktop.

This virtual platform  is very easy to jump on and dependable. The best part is everything is dedicated for me.

Very very pleased with partnering up with V2 Cloud.

I found the software easy to specify for our requirements and the implementation exceptionally quick and straight forward.

I found it difficult to setup Teams due to the need for remote VM access to local hardware.

From the beginning the setup was quick and easy. The system is responsive and works for my client's use case (distributed business operations team).

Afterwards it was a breeze. Love the guys at Customer Service.

Also what had big influence on our work is how fast their servers are. We are running some memory-hungry apps there and it works really great.

Excellent support response when I had questions or needed help with troubleshooting an issue. Great GUI for managing the user sessions and file storage.

They have a very easy to use interface and online approach. Everything was quick and easy to setup.

The servers are fast and our clients are happy.

It's a great solution to solve virtual environment needs.
