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 Review
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.
- Ease of use.
- Unique phone number.
- Application improvements.
- Desktop interface.

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.
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.
- File Archiving
- Streamlined Communication
- It has some connectivity issues.
- Some of the user interface could be reoriented for a better experience.
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.

- 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.
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.

- Task management -- both as an individual and as a team. It's easy to assign tasks and monitor progress.
- Video conferencing -- we use Glip to host calls. I appreciate the ability to host a call and manage tasks immediately within the same application.
- Scheduling -- schedule meetings and tasks, and they will immediately appear in your calendar.
- User Experience -- it can sometimes be confusing knowing whether you're looking at your personal tasks or that of the group.

Glip is a great tool!
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.
- Manages tasks within a team or project group
- Injects fun into chat conversations with GIFs
- Allows for quick one-on-one questions to be answered quickly
- Would love it if Glip had a survey feature, so you could survey a team on a topic
- Calendar interface could be better

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.
