Overall Satisfaction with Grammarly

We use Grammarly in my department and it has been very helpful in supporting the creation of marketing collateral. Any internal or external/client-facing communication that we create is reviewed through Grammarly. Its premium features enable smooth collaboration within the team. I find its company style guide feature very useful for streamlining communication within the team. Plus it does not cost much compared to the benefits it offers.
  • It eliminates grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.
  • It makes every sentence concise and easy to follow.
  • It finds vivid words to enliven each and every message.
  • It automatically chooses the right tone and formality level.
  • You can create a company style guide to keep every team member’s communication clear and on brand.
  • Grammarly integrates seamlessly with your workflows across platforms and devices.
  • Grammarly works with the tools you use today: web browsers, email clients, Microsoft Office tools, and more.
  • Sometimes it gives silly suggestions. There is definitely room for improvement in its AI and algorithm.
  • You may feel that it is obsessed with the article "the". It keeps suggesting to use it even when not needed.
  • Even if you mark a suggestion as incorrect, it does not learn from it. Such a learning feature can be super helpful.
  • Style guide for company
  • Integration with defined workflows
  • Integration with Microsoft Office tools
  • Our messaging and communication have continuously improved
  • It costs very little, while each message we create with it can be worth a lot of money when you look at the impact it makes
  • It has helped in avoiding grave and silly communication errors that can have a devastating impact, especially if they are external facing. So it has been super useful.
Other than Grammarly, I have also used tools like Hemingway and ProWritingAid. But Grammalry has the best AI, which becomes obvious when you compare the suggestions each of these tools makes. Also, the style guide feature, support for multiple languages, and all kinds of integration features give it a big advantage over any other tool available on the market.

I will recommend Grammarly to everyone who needs help with streamlining communication and messaging. It works really well when, even after manual proofreading, we miss certain errors and omissions. It can work as an assistant editor for you. However, I would not recommend completely relying on this application, as it can also give out irrelevant suggestions. But anyone with a decent command of written communication skills can easily identify and ignore such irrelevant and incorrect suggestions. If your written communication skills are average or below average, then I would not recommend using this tool, as it can hurt your learning process and also misguide you with certain suggestions.
