    Pros
    Superhuman Platform Inc.
    • Ease of use - Grammarly is super easy to use. Anyone can use the app whether in a text editor like Microsoft Word or on the Grammarly website.
    • Integration - This one is a game-changer. It integrates with the main programs I use on a regular basis including email, Microsoft Office, Firefox, desktop, phone and iPads. I didn't need to change to anything or use something different so it was an ideal match.
    • Goals - This is a really cool function of Grammarly. With Goals, you can choose your audience, formality and domain type. So it works for a wide range of users. Depending on the audience type, Grammarly automatically can suggest changes to your content to help ensure your goals are being met.

    Cons
    Superhuman Platform Inc.
    • User experience/technical issues on certain tools - in Google Calendar, for instance, Grammarly checks text that you type into the "Email Guests" modal window on calendar events. However, because of the way Google calendar works, if you right-click a word that Grammarly highlighted, the calendar event modal window will close and you will lose everything you typed. This is an extremely frustrating experience that has gotten me multiple times.
    • Incorrect suggestions - it doesn't happen that often, but occasionally Grammarly does highlight words or make suggestions that don't make sense or aren't optimal. I'm sure the Grammarly team is working continuously to improve the tool to make it smarter and smarter.
    • Lack of support on all platforms - although Grammarly works on most text areas you encounter online, there are still some areas it doesn't work - I'm not sure if this is an issue with Grammarly or not, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

    Either I'm as dumb as a bag of nails, or Grammarly has been an invaluable tool in our communication arsenal since we've been users since 2017. I don't recall which podcast we heard it on, but it may have been when Jordan Harbinger was on Art of Charm. I listen to about 8 podcasts a day, so it was probably on something I listened to, demo'd it, and then ponied up for a paid subscription.

    Usability
    Superhuman Platform Inc.
    It was very easy. I have it applied to all of my browsers as an extension so that I know I have entirely accurate grammar in anything I write for my company. I appreciate having something that will always be applied to anything on my computer. I wish I didn't need to use the Grammarly keyboard on mobile; I want it to read my text boxes like my computer does.

    Performance
    Superhuman Platform Inc.
    Again, here's another example of Maine being very happy with the product. The application quickly analyzes my writing and highlights areas for me to address. It doesn't correct everything without my support, and I like that because it gives me control over my writing style and tone and gets me close to being perfect in my grammar and syntax. I've never seen it have a problem with any application that I traditionally use

    Support Rating
    Superhuman Platform Inc.
    I have not really used customer support. I used the FAQ page to see how to re-install Grammarly because it wasn't functioning properly in longer documents. It seems to be working better now, but it still does not always underline all of the issues in the actual text. Thus, it is sometimes difficult to know where the errors are located.

    Perhaps if you have a team that is not overly computer savvy, which in that case, I'd challenge your hiring decision, there's not much involved. I'm sure there are YouTube videos that go in-depth about implementation but it's really quite simple.

    Nothing comes close to Grammarly in terms of ease of use and quick setup. It practically works right out of the box without any rigorous configuration. It also allows you to pick a specific dialect which isn't available in other apps. And since Grammarly introduced AI features, its counterparts lost their advantage.

    Semrush's content and page optimisation tool is quite poor; it's not in the same bracket as Surfer. Frase is a good alternative from a cost perspective (if not paying the AI writing functions), it's cheaper, and Frase's keyword/topic heatmaps are quite unique. Sufer has a better UI and a shorter learning curve. It has an advantage in that it offers internal linking recommendations, which Frase lacks. Surfer also has limited competitor analysis (backlinks and page speed), which Frase does not. Both tools allow you to choose the number of competitors on the SERPS

    Grammarly has been an extremely reliable application for our organization. It works effectively across multiple applications, both traditional desktop and web. The more you see other web application bots floundering, Grammarly has never had that problem. When tools like LinkedIn make updates, Grammarly seamlessly works after the updates. We are very happy with the reliability of this product. It's even working inside of this app so that it fixes my mistakes when I'm drafting
