Ginger Business vs. Microsoft Teams

It [Ginger] is a perfect tool for daily work because it has allowed us to create and write better content with exceptional writing and excellent grammar. It has an MS Word add-on [and] our team has used it through a desktop application and mobile. It has proven to be an appropriate platform for all companies; the API has allowed us to deeply review all the grammar, and each document or HTML pages to correct any type of error.

Positive: The virtual workspace created for a work team within the same company, for the resemblance of information and communications in one place.Negative: The access for members of a non-profit organization who have external emails from the host but need the same access as an internal person since their volunteer work is part of the very core of the federation.

• Virtual meetings - ease of set up and execution
• File sharing! We build channels for projects, and being able to invite only project members is huge!
• Peer-to-peer communications - being able to "ping" one of my colleagues, either text, video or call-only, on-demand, is what runs our business.

• In the Company, we have worked for a year with the application and we have not found fault in it and we like everything that it allows us to do immediately and with great ease since its handling of spelling makes it very efficient, which wakes that our intelligence is better artificially.

• The feature of notifications in the mobile application could be improved. Sometimes notifications of different teams are not visible and are only visible when the application is opened.
• It uses lots of computational resources while running and thus, slows down the system sometimes.
• It allows a few channels per team. The number of channels could be increased for better productivity.

Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products. Since Microsoft Teams is included for free with our Office 365 subscription, and since we enjoy all the features, benefits, and functionality, there is no question that our team will continue to use the product

I like the integration with Microsoft Office.

User experience has been much better than the previous Skype for Business app. It has an easy-to-use interface with persistent chats. The search feature is very fast and useful. MS Teams has mostly focused on Collaboration and team building features which are very useful for organizational communications. Since Teams is accessible from multiple platforms like Laptop, Desktop, Mobile phones, etc it has been very convenient from a Mobility perspective.

Even if it's a small program, it uses a fair amount of memory resources.

Sometimes about once a week I get a message that says "Sorry, there seems to be something wrong". But it goes away in a few minutes.

I haven't experienced working with Ginger's support. The platform is straightforward and didn't require any support.

Using Microsoft Teams has resulted in much faster business communications with both co-workers and consultants. There has been little need for support with this software as the interface is very intuitive and the product is overall very well designed. We did encounter an issue with the built-in phone service, however, this was quickly resolved by the support team.

I find everything I need for my day-to-day work.

Have used Grammarly ealrier which is also a good tool available in market. If comparing the cost thing then i believe GInger is a bit costly [Premium/Buisness] version compare to Grammarly. However, In my opinion it is completely dependent on the end user that how comfortable they are while using a software/API like this. For me, Ginger is the first option to use for my learning/writing skills.

Our company and IT department previously used Skype for our communication needs. Skype was not dependable in my opinion, because it seems each time I used it during a call and/or a meeting, I and several other team members would get disconnected more than once. This caused a great interruption of our meeting, caused team members to have to ask others to repeat themselves and caused a general lack of interest in employee attendance during meetings.

Honestly, this tool is worth every penny. Yes, it's not free and you pay for the quality of services and the license. But the ROI and the benefits are all there. Also, the renewal, negotiation, and contract terms are all very well explained by our Microsoft account manager, and she's a charm.

It does not appear to have a limit to how many teams and employees we can have using it

I used Skype for Business to take calls, hold conferences, and provide remote assistance to users. Microsoft Teams, on the other hand, is superior to Skype for Business in my opinion. My job entails a lot of screen sharing.

• Ginger is helpful for many of my students, it takes some of the stress off writing.
• It also allows you to send off important emails with confidence.
• Ginger is a great tool that can help you focus on content as opposed to structure.

• I'm not sure I can point to a specific ROI, but it has improved our ability to communicate and work more effectively together.
• It's also nice to have records of every interaction, photo, and document that has been shared. Less chance of something completely disappearing.
