    Spike makes it simple to remain in touch with your peers and teams. It is simple, and searching for team members in the search tab is quick. Moreover, this tool makes screen sharing easier for presentations. The software is incredibly user-friendly and simple to use. Spike's versatility is enhanced via instant texting through this app. The visual and audio call quality is outstanding. Except for cloud storage, Spike does not connect with other applications. While there is a solid rationale for this, since everything - calendar, notes, tasks, team communication - can be made in the app, it loses some value if you prefer, for example, Microsoft To-Do and OneNote or Google Projects and Keep to organize your tasks and notes. I'd like to see a less costly email, calendar, and contacts-only subscription for solitary users.

    Shared knowledge is essential to widely distribute knowledge among the various sectors of the company. Knowledge is power and we have discovered this with Starmind, where we are all capable of solving different problems without the need to work in a certain sector or not.

    • Anonymous requests, with fast and totally efficient results, which is amazing, most of the time he finds the person trained to solve certain problems.
    • The search system has filters that help us prioritize what we are really looking for, in this way the search is much more efficient.
    • Collaborative tools undoubtedly help us to solve communication problems, streamline work processes and achieve work success in carrying out our projects.

    Cons
    Spike
    • I wish the calendar was more robust and provided a comprehensive look. I'd also want to have multiple windows open.
    • The inability to sync settings across devices. Configuring several devices with the same settings takes effort, particularly when it comes to custom IMAP.
    • Email Signature in HTML is still not taught as the capability, which I'd love to see.

    • Collaborative tools undoubtedly help us to solve communication problems, streamline work processes and achieve work success in carrying out our projects.
    • I'm still not familiar with its interface in a comfortable way. It seems to me that there are functions whose potential can be exploited more but they are not visual, instead there are many others that can get in the way a little in the daily use of the platform.

    The first one to use after google calendar is spike, after all the features that I've already mentioned,like the possibility to send a voice message, videos,photos etc... And the possibility to chat in real time and a good organization and planification and the priority feature is my favorite

    Bloomfire is an excellent tool, it provides multiple similar features, these platforms being intelligent in the search for shared knowledge, however, Starmind seems to me to have better search options and interaction actions between users.

    Return on Investment
    Spike
    • However, the app is too tiny to accurately quantify its return on investment (ROI).
    • Multiple times, I've gotten to zero emails in my inbox.
    • It was easy to communicate without exchanging long texts.

    • The effective search for the right person to attend specific commercial projects has allowed us to hit the target, since we are exploiting the potential of each of the company's personnel regardless of the department to which they belong, we diversify, learn and adapt to changes, in favor of always achieving the proposed objectives and achieving better performance and work efficiency.
