Lua vs. Missive

I wouldn't recommend Lua because they were recently acquired by another company and will be shutting down. It was unfortunate that we were only given 2 months notice right after signing up for another 1-year term.

It fills the gap between large commercial softwares for large companies, and for small companies. Most email hosts are just basic until you start bringing in video calls, chat, etc. Missive has that and more, and I think is the #1 email choice for small companies.

• It is easy to communicate in real-time.
• Easy to set up different groups.

Incentivized

• Collaborative emails/drafts.
• Media sharing is streamlined.
• Highly flexible to external software/services.

• The application for iPad is not optimized.

Incentivized

• Search functionality needs some work.

They are closing operations, so there's no support to rate

We chose Lua because of their price point and feature set compared to other tools.

I can only compare to free services or to Outlook. I cannot go back to Outlook... Truly. Outlook hits all the right marks for a business, and Missive exceeds those marks and sets new standards. I joined a company that had already chosen Missive. I not only was able to pick it up intuitively, but I felt proficient at it within a couple of weeks and already felt my workflow and communication skyrocket.

• It has been great for communication and broadcasts, its a shame that they are closing down.

• Overall efficiency in our communication has probably tripled. We can draw a collaborative conclusion, in-office or remote, desktop or remote, within minutes assuming we are all available.
• We realize we are still "under-utilizing" this app. It can be a powerhouse if mastered.
