Glip (discontinued)

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.

I think it is a good option, but something like SalesLoft could provide a better replacement because it is a database and provides the ability to call out.

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.

We have a free account so I understand why we are not at the top of the list. But we have had issues before that took forever for them to get back to us. Once I had to make a Twitter account just to tweet at them about the issue and they finally got back to me. After several weeks. And the issue was something we just had to wait out for a few more days. Normally you have to submit a ticket through their support page and maybe they will get back to you and maybe not. We had one issue where the standard user on the iMac was getting popups every few minutes about installing a helper tool. The only way to fix this was to delete and reinstall Glip as an admin user. This was frustrating because it took time to do this for me as the IT person, and after reaching out to a few times, I was finally given an answer two years after I had asked about it! Finally some devs reach out to me on Glip and told me to just put the app in the user folder instead of the app folder which is managed by the admin account. They said it should be fixed now and I believe it is.

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.

I have had to call their support team on several occasions, and the support has always been top-notch.

Glip feels right at home with a marketing and creative team. You must first ask yourself, are you tired of emailing all the time? Would working in real-time save you time? Do you share files all the time with your colleagues? If you answered yes to any of these questions then Glip can definitely benefit you.

Glip has saved us so much time that my team could no longer live without it. I don't know what we would do. All of us used it constantly all day every day. It is one of the best tools in my arsenal!

You get to chat real time with the CEO :)

Glip is all about simplicity. It simply works, and is super fast!
