When drafting important emails to clients, stakeholders, or partners, Grammarly ensures the tone is professional and polite while eliminating grammar or spelling errors.While preparing reports, proposals, or presentations for internal or external use, Grammarly helps maintain clarity, proper structure, and a formal tone. Employees whose first language is not English use Grammarly to enhance their writing, making it more fluent and grammatically accurate.
If you have a colleague who is based in a remote location or is part of a remote team, Zoom is a vital collaboration tool for your day-to-day work. Zoom AI Companion is easier and more effective for working with a colleague at a remote location rather than making a call. You can share your non-verbal reactions through video, which brings a close experience to face-to-face interactions.
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.
Large meeting rooms that our marcomms team is able to navigate and problem solve with quickly and easily.
Ability to schedule meetings with internal and external team members for workshops. Provides us with several tools to communicate and share ideas without having to even turn your mic on.
AI companion to remember points that were made and provide a summary to those who were unable to attend after the meeting.
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.
Although the whiteboard is nice, it's not as advanced as I'd like to be. For example, navigating it can sometimes be tricky, and it doesn't have nearly as many features as a tool like Miro.
The Zoom integration for Outlook has issues, it doesn't always sync
The React feature on Zoom calls doesn't always work and sometimes isn't visible
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.
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.
It's really easy to use - the AI icon is everywhere all over the place in the Zoom client so it's easy to be able to leverage AI whenever you need it, and similarly in the meeting it's easy to find and to use. I don't have complaints here that I can think of
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.
Zoom has better compatibility compared to Teams at our institution. It also supports a wider array of codecs. We like using Zoom despite the fact that both Teams and Zoom are supported at an enterprise level at our academic institution. Zoom also seems to have better video and audio quality and lower drop rates.
