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".
- Workspace makes it easy to create and assign tasks
- Analytics engine and dashboard is intuative
- Events and Calendar feature is robust and easy to use
- Video meetings are reliable and easy to operate
- Chat feature is reliable
- Contacts integration is complex when trying to map to several directories
- Contacts are not organized or customizable effortlessly
- User Interface gets complicated and disorganized very quickly

Glip: A solid app that gets the job done.
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.
- Makes communication easy, either with teams or direct IM.
- It's fun to use, especially the gif feature.
- Support - if you don't have active phone account with RC, support is difficult to obtain.
- Reliability - I have dealt with several cases where employees don't receive messages or don't receive them till much later.
Across the whole company we use a Glip competitor but Glip is being used in a project for a client, the client itself asked us to use Glip instead of the program we use for other projects.
For our clients, and ultimately for us, Glip provides a good service at a lower price tag, compared to similar products.
For our clients, and ultimately for us, Glip provides a good service at a lower price tag, compared to similar products.
- Ease of use: It is extremely easy to use Glip and its features.
- Ease of adoption: You can start using Glip in a couple of minutes and scale its use to the whole team, no hassle.
- Scalability: This products scales well both in users and in pricing.
- Integrations with other products: Glip has some integrations but not all you would like. There are a dozen or more apps you can use the product with, but your team might have the need to connect the app with another popular product or service that Glip still does not have (Confluence, for example).
- Can't create bots or custom integrations (?): As far as I know, you cannot create bots or custom integrations with other apps.
- Performance: Looks a bit slow to start for the first time, the app will load slower than other apps. Not sure if this is because I work on a large team or anything else, but the feeling that Glip loads slower than anything else makes me think that the app's performance has some room for improvement.

Fantastic Team Communication and Task-list App!
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!
- The chat functionality of Glip is fantastic, and even their mobile app is really good. The software is truly platform-agnostic. My team uses Mac, Windows and Chrome OS as well as iOS and Android.
- The task functionality is well-designed and intuitive. It's very helpful to have access to tasks regardless of device or location, and the ability to create tasks from messages is surprisingly handy.
- The notes functionality is a great way to store information that the whole team or just a few members need access to. We also use it for mark-up occasionally, since it has the ability to leave comments pinned to a location on the document or image.
- We have the option of inviting clients to join Glip. This isn't something my team uses at this point, but it's an option.
- The only thing I'd like to change is that Glip doesn't have very many integrations. I hope as it gains in popularity that integrations with other software will become available.

Is Glip As Good As Slack? (Almost...But It's Free!)
We used Glip as our internal chat program (like Slack). The entire company used it, and everyone was free to create new channels (public or private) if they wanted to and invite whoever they wanted. It was a great way to quickly communicate across the company where email would have been too slow and physically going and seeing the person would have been too interruptive.
- Internal chat for a company.
- Integrates well with RingCentral apps.
- The fun stuff (gifs, emojis) were good for the most part.
- More ways to react to a message than just a "like".
- There were some glitches (profile pictures that were changed but didn't take effect, messages getting sent repeatedly, etc) that could be resolved.

Glip - The Best Team Collaboration Tool on the Web
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Our whole marketing team uses Glip on a daily basis to speed up our productivity. Glip has allowed us to move away from our typical email inboxes and actually collaborate and work in real-time. With the release of their new desktop notifications you can keep working and just chime in when it relates to you. From creating tasks, to private message different team members, to creating Google hangouts for remote team meetings, to posting humorous animated gifs to relieve some stress. Glip is an amazing team product and worth every penny!
- Easy and Simple Task Management
- Integration with Google Hangout
- Collaboration Real-Time
- Sharing Files and Proofs with the team
- Needs exporting of tasks to CSV
- Needs repeating tasks
