Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review I use it every day, and it is so lovely to have a clear desktop and only have one app running with everything I need. For example, when I am creating YouTube content, I need to be able to check analytical data on my YouTube channel, then open up Canva and create additional differences to the thumbnails that Land is making for the following video. I also need to be able to open Google Sheets to update my team and keep track of everything on
Trello so we know what project we are currently working on our project. Workflow for content creation is spread across
Trello Canva, WhatsApp, and Google Sheets, so to have all of these simultaneously open, I can switch between them all within shift is absolutely a godsend. Also, the fact that it integrates with Microsoft To-Do is beneficial as this is how we keep track of all completed tasks that we, as a team, create.
Read full review Pros Collaborative emails/drafts. Media sharing is streamlined. Highly flexible to external software/services. Read full review Shift provides a seamless, single interface that brings together all of my email accounts and productivity tools (both Google Workspace and 3rd parties) It allows me to install, login and access the same emails and tools from ANY desktop in the world, securely, and without leaving a footprint of my User information or online working sessions. The browser-based UX/UI design of Shift makes it intuitive and fast (especially with recent memory handling improvements). Read full review Cons Search functionality needs some work. Read full review Some apps don’t work as well as they would on a regular plugin for a browser Web browser is nice, but Chrome is a bit more user friendly Sometimes things load strange and take over a work space (some forms or PDFs) Read full review Likelihood to Renew I'm quite happy with this product, been using it in a daily basis for the last 3 years.
Read full review Support Rating It is simple and has exactly what I need. If they worked out a few minor bugs, I think it would be perfect.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review I wouldn't say I liked the user experience and the difficulty in configuration. I generally like to keep my UX and UI as consistent as possible, and Shift does that. Moreover, I wanted to save all my Gmail labels and have their catalog precisely as on the Gmail website.
Thunderbird for Mac is a bit tacky.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review It's a good investment as it is cheap to pay for and it gives me all the work space I need. Amazing way to just keep a clean tidy workspace. Ability to switch between apps is fantastic as they are all on the left hand side bar. Read full review ScreenShots
