Chose Glip (discontinued)
The team tasked with selecting a collaboration tool shortlisted Glip along with Microsoft Teams, and Webex Teams because they performed well and were reliable in our demanding Enterprise footprint. Glip also has a global presence and many applications to integrate with and …

I haven't used other competing products, but SalesLoft can provide a more in-depth database of contacts and accounts, as well as making calls out of the application, similar to RingCentral.
Chose Glip (discontinued)
Very similar. I like UI a little better with Glip and it seems a little less messy to me, but overall they are very similar. I would recommend either to someone looking for a chat app. I would say Slack if you have less team communication and more direct convos with people.
Chose Glip (discontinued)
They are used for different tasks.
Chose Glip (discontinued)
It looks much more professional and the fact that I can invite a client to call and confirm them by email makes it look very good.
Chose Glip (discontinued)
Zoom, Slack, and Wunderlist are all great applications. They do a good job at one core focus. If your team is already familiar with these applications and satisfied with them, you can stick with them. I found Slack confusing and difficult to learn, as did others when …
Chose Glip (discontinued)
Podio is a great tool as well. Glip offers integration with our phone service among other things. Glip is more of a one stop shop whereas PODIO specializes in project management.
Chose Glip (discontinued)
It is hard to go wrong with the well-known players. Glip is a reasonable alternative and I can't say I miss key use cases. However, the learning cost of Slack or Skype is significant.
Chose Glip (discontinued)
We like Glip much better. It doesn't do project management, but for team communication it's better.
Chose Glip (discontinued)
We moved from Skype to Glip primarily because we went with Ring Central for our phones, and Glip is included and integrates with Ring Central. It also adds far more funcationality than Skype in one package
Chose Glip (discontinued)
Glip has many more functions than Google Hangouts, but less functions than Slack. I enjoy the extra functions and task capabilities of Glip that we were missing out on with Hangouts. However, we seemed to have less glitches and communication downtime with Hangouts. Slack does a …
Chose Glip (discontinued)
Slack is a nicer looking chat program, but in order to keep all your message history, you have to pay per user, so Glip was better in that respect. HipChat, a chat app we used a long time ago, was not very easy/fun to use and lacked some functionality. Glip has nearly all the …
Chose Glip (discontinued)
Between Slack, HipChat and GLip, Slack comes with both the higher degree of customization and integrations and the higher price tag. HipChat comes last with the smallest set of features. Glip is right in the middle with a decent amount of features at a lower price.

I like Slack …
Chose Glip (discontinued)
Glip is so much faster and simpler to use. Both of the products mentioned above are very clunky and just take a lot more clicks to get things done. Glip is all about simplicity and speed, and it even looks great compared to everything else. Glip has an edge over every other …
Lark
Chose Lark
I selected Larksuite simply because even you don't have laptop or desktop you can simply install this app through google or apple store and you just need to log in using your working email. You will now access and use every feature on this app. You can also watch and play videos.

Glip feels right at home with a marketing and creative team. You must first ask yourself, are you tired of emailing all the time? Would working in real-time save you time? Do you share files all the time with your colleagues? If you answered yes to any of these questions then Glip can definitely benefit you.

Since I work from home, Larksuite is quite helpful to me because we need a way to communicate even when we are working from home. I'm glad that Larksuite is available to us because we constantly need assistance from our supervisor and quality assurance staff. You can also let others know you won't be available at that time by using interface like "Do not disturb," "In Meeting," or "Taking a Break" in Larksuite. Larksuite's ability to let us attach crucial files, pin crucial communications, and build calendars for scheduled meetings and events is by far its most interesting feature. Larksuite can be used in meetings. I remember when we first started using Larksuite Video Meetings for our discussions, I was astounded to see an interface that allowed you to view on your own the file the speaker had provided. I believe that using Larksuite for our video conference makes things more simpler because everything you need is already there.

Pros
  • The chat functionality of Glip is fantastic, and even their mobile app is really good. The software is truly platform-agnostic. My team uses Mac, Windows and Chrome OS as well as iOS and Android.
  • The task functionality is well-designed and intuitive. It's very helpful to have access to tasks regardless of device or location, and the ability to create tasks from messages is surprisingly handy.
  • The notes functionality is a great way to store information that the whole team or just a few members need access to. We also use it for mark-up occasionally, since it has the ability to leave comments pinned to a location on the document or image.
  • We have the option of inviting clients to join Glip. This isn't something my team uses at this point, but it's an option.

Cons
  • Allow the ability to move a conversation when a hyperlink is involved. Currently not able to do this. Glip is aware and hopefully working on it.
  • Add a more robust search feature to find old conversations. Search query time could also be sped up.
  • Add reminder notifications. When tasks are added, it is sometimes easy to overlook older tasks.

Glip has saved us so much time that my team could no longer live without it. I don't know what we would do. All of us used it constantly all day every day. It is one of the best tools in my arsenal!

Usability
Mobile UI is not as pleasant as others, it looks washed out and that makes it seem like it lacks some features.
Read full review
I rate this perfect simply because we use this everyday and this is very helpful. Without this tool I can't imagine how we can communicate to each other and how we can resolve every concern/issue that we cater everyday on our job. This is the tool we use to communicate and endorse specific concern.

Support Rating
We have a free account so I understand why we are not at the top of the list. But we have had issues before that took forever for them to get back to us. Once I had to make a Twitter account just to tweet at them about the issue and they finally got back to me. After several weeks. And the issue was something we just had to wait out for a few more days. Normally you have to submit a ticket through their support page and maybe they will get back to you and maybe not. We had one issue where the standard user on the iMac was getting popups every few minutes about installing a helper tool. The only way to fix this was to delete and reinstall Glip as an admin user. This was frustrating because it took time to do this for me as the IT person, and after reaching out to a few times, I was finally given an answer two years after I had asked about it! Finally some devs reach out to me on Glip and told me to just put the app in the user folder instead of the app folder which is managed by the admin account. They said it should be fixed now and I believe it is.

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.
