    Glip should definitely be on your shortlist for a team collaboration tool. Glip has a lower cost and contains all the features found in competitive tools such as Microsoft Teams and Webex Teams. Glip is also scalable and robust enough for large enterprises and is great to coordinate and document large projects with hundreds of tasks and hundreds of resources. Glip, MS, and Webex Teams are excellent for an individual to create and receive task assignments and document and complete those tasks but these tools do not replace enterprise project management software and tools. Glip, MS Teams, and Webex Teams quickly become complicated and disorganized and it becomes easy to drown in all the sea of data unless you work diligently and continually at organizing your workspace.

    SAP Business Network provides an end-to-end experience to connect and be transparent with suppliers from across the globe. There is no other product that can be compared to this and that has a wide range of offerings such as SAP Business Network. Although it is versatile and supports many business use cases the learning curve is deep and it will be difficult for new suppliers to get used to the platform. If you are suppliers with whom you just have one transaction and need to maintain the track record for those details, it's better not to use SAP Business Network because the suppliers will not be willing to learn to use the platform to submit the invoices just for one purchase order. But there is a solution for this as well you can ask the suppliers to submit the invoices to you through email and send paper invoices from SAP buying and invoicing. The PO and invoice will be sent to a private supplier account. Your supplier doesn't have to login but you still get to maintain the details on SAP Business Network. Even in these cases, SAP Business Network has a solution in the form of a private account.

    • Real-time order tracking: When a purchase order is created, suppliers can confirm it directly in the system. We can then see the status immediately without having to chase them via email.
    • Supplier interaction: Vendors can upload shipping details, update delivery dates, or report issues directly on the platform.
    • Analytics and insights: Aystem provides dashboards that show spend by category, supplier performance, and payment cycle.

    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.

    • It takes new users some time to go through the interface, especially if they have not dealt with similar software before.
    • It may still appear that customization options are somewhat restricted compared with other websites.
    • In addition, small businesses or start-ups could face higher subscription costs and, in full force, limit themselves to the quality of the social network.

    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!

    There is still a ton of flexability on the customer's end of the platform, which makes standard onboarding for suppliers a challenge. Customers are allowed to ask for things, or customize certain things that are not standard for us, so we have to have special rules set up to complete an integration. There are also some limitations to automate invoice rejections that happen on the platform when a customer rejects an invoice

    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.

    Good performance from SAP as key deployment partner; collaboration and deployment with additional business partner for data provision and business partner onboarding was rather difficult, slowing down the project progress and overall success perception

    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 onboarding. Zoom and Wunderlist both have a solid user interface and do their jobs well -- not many complaints from them. I just valued simplicity and ease of adoption, which made us look at Glip as one app to do it all.

    SAP Business Network stands out compared to all other platforms like Oracle SCM, Ariba, and Coupa due to its comprehensive visibility, robust collaboration tools, and extensive supplier network. Unlike Oracle SCM, which is optimized for its own -heavy supply chains, SAP Business Network provides a more versatile, end-to-end solution, enabling transparency and responsiveness across diverse industries. Compared to Ariba.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • Because Glip was free, it helped us save money on our chat app. While not a crucial part of the business, the costs of software for your company add up and it was nice that, in this case, it did not add to our expenses.
    • This isn't really Glip directly, but we used it because we were using RingCentral Meetings for video conferencing with clients, and unfortunately RingCentral Meetings was a bit difficult to use. This was often the client doing things wrong, but it was annoying to have frequent audio feedback, etc. So if that is part of your reason to use Glip, check out if you have any problems there first.
