Glip (discontinued) Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Glip is used as an "unsupported" app but that does not diminish its effectiveness as a collaboration tool for sales and support departments where customers demand it. A few departments employ Glip for interdepartmental projects and tasks as a separate entity to Microsoft Teams or Webex Teams in order to maintain a focused channel away from the complicated dashboard that Glip and similar apps tend to make too "chatty".

Likelihood to Recommend

Glip should definitely be on your shortlist for a team collaboration tool. Glip has a lower cost and contains all the features found in competitive tools such as Microsoft Teams and Webex Teams. Glip is also scalable and robust enough for large enterprises and is great to coordinate and document large projects with hundreds of tasks and hundreds of resources. Glip, MS, and Webex Teams are excellent for an individual to create and receive task assignments and document and complete those tasks but these tools do not replace enterprise project management software and tools. Glip, MS Teams, and Webex Teams quickly become complicated and disorganized and it becomes easy to drown in all the sea of data unless you work diligently and continually at organizing your workspace.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as a way to execute our outbound calls. We utilize SalesLoft as our database of contacts and accounts, but when it comes to the actual calling, RingCentral/Glip is our software of choice. It provides you with a unique business/ work phone number which is useful in our role.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for professional purposes associated with calling prospects. Instead of using one's own cell phone device, it's nice having an application that utilizes wifi can provide a cheaper option.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Glip here at our company for in-office communications as well a few other things. We use the direct conversation features as well as the team features to communicate between different groups and as a company as a whole. Also we use the file storage, calendar, and task features fairly regularly.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend Glip to anyone who is looking for a chat app to use to be more productive at work. The versatility of teams and direct communication, there isn't really a limit on how you can use the app to fit your needs. I think if you only have 4 or 5 employees it might not be for you. If you are really small I would just recommend Gchat. But anything above 10 employees, I would say it's perfect. Very comparable to Slack.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization is located across the country, and Glip allows us to communicate in real-time, share files & documents, and even call clients using a designated work phone number. Glip is the perfect way to centralize all of your communications on one platform.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are dealing with a team of any size, I think that Glip is an excellent resource and should be considered to streamline your projects. Also, if you have teams that are located nationwide, it is a perfect way to keep the team connected as if they were all in the same building.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are not using this tool in the whole organization, but only in the department I'm working in. It helps the team to solve call issues and, more specifically, video call issues. We use this tool for our B2B calls because it's such a professional software and the quality is very good.

Likelihood to Recommend

We are dealing with B2B contacts and clients and we often have to call them. This tool helps us plan and invite those contacts and clients in the correct way so our work is very professional. This tool can be improved by developing a proper chat to share information.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a tech startup, we were looking for a way to streamline tools. And I needed a good task management system that will seamlessly integrate with iCal. We didn't want to have to use four different applications to communicate internally and two others to communicate externally.

Glip allows us to do it all in one place! It provides us with task management, project management, scheduling, chat, and video conferencing. And you can set up an iCal calendar to automatically drop tasks into their timeslot. I love that feature.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend Glip for any company that wants to minimize applications, which in my mind should be every company. If I can easily schedule meetings, manage tasks and projects, and communicate via chat and video in one place, why would I need to learn any other application?

However, if you must use the tools your clients use, you might be forced to use Slack, Skype, Zoom, or a number of other apps. But I would encourage your clients to adopt one system, if at all possible.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Glip is used across our organization and is our central tool for communication.

Likelihood to Recommend

Glip is fantastic for working on the go. I am constantly in touch with what is happening based on the APIs we have set up.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Glip, along with other tools from the same ecosystem such as Ring, was deployed to our organization as a natural response to a process of "shadow IT" creeping into several groups that were using their own groupware tool. Glip is used as a team communication and synchronization tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

Being a new entrant (in other words, a Challenger to more established players), Glip should try harder to delight users. I feel that it covers well all the basic use cases, but so do similar tools that are already proven and validated. The switching cost for this type of communication platform is big.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a distributed team with team members in Hawaii, Washington, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina and Brazil. We use Glip to stay in touch. It allows us to see who is online and available, and we can send messages to individuals or teams. The task lists are fantastic because any message that has an action required can be turned into a task, assigned to a team member, and given a due date. They can even be color coded! Additionally, we use the Notes feature to retain important information that the team uses. We love Glip!

Likelihood to Recommend

Any company that needs a chat application should probably take a close look at Glip. It's very robust and incredibly useful. However, if you need a platform that integrates with your accounting system or some other software, Glip may not fit the bill.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Glip as an inter-company communication tool to help keep quick conversations out of email. We also create project teams to communicate both internally and externally, and use tasks assigned to individuals with due dates to keep track of to-do items.

Likelihood to Recommend

Glip is well suited to small to mid-sized companies needing to reduce reliance on email for all communication.

It might be less appropriate with very large teams or companies.
