Cisco Webex Social (Discontinued) vs. Spike

For the most part, this is a great software solution for the average user. For consulting it's ok, but [there aren't] that many reach features.

Spike makes it simple to remain in touch with your peers and teams. It is simple, and searching for team members in the search tab is quick. Moreover, this tool makes screen sharing easier for presentations. The software is incredibly user-friendly and simple to use. Spike's versatility is enhanced via instant texting through this app. The visual and audio call quality is outstanding. Except for cloud storage, Spike does not connect with other applications. While there is a solid rationale for this, since everything - calendar, notes, tasks, team communication - can be made in the app, it loses some value if you prefer, for example, Microsoft To-Do and OneNote or Google Projects and Keep to organize your tasks and notes. I'd like to see a less costly email, calendar, and contacts-only subscription for solitary users.

• Recording feature cannot record phone sound just computer sound.
• Recording feature does not generate a file with "known" extension, it needs specific player.

• I wish the calendar was more robust and provided a comprehensive look. I'd also want to have multiple windows open.
• The inability to sync settings across devices. Configuring several devices with the same settings takes effort, particularly when it comes to custom IMAP.
• Email Signature in HTML is still not taught as the capability, which I'd love to see.

It is simpler to use compared to other tools. Microsoft has a great product but there are a lot of bugs. And compared to GoToMeeting it has more features.

The first one to use after google calendar is spike, after all the features that I've already mentioned,like the possibility to send a voice message, videos,photos etc... And the possibility to chat in real time and a good organization and planification and the priority feature is my favorite

Incentivized

• It is good, helps tremendously and saves a lot of time in case you have to go see what user is doing or understand what they are trying to achieve.
• Great user experience.
• Users like it.

• However, the app is too tiny to accurately quantify its return on investment (ROI).
• Multiple times, I've gotten to zero emails in my inbox.
• It was easy to communicate without exchanging long texts.
