Overall Satisfaction with Shift

I have used Shift for my email client for a few years now. I like that I can access all my mailboxes separately in the same application, and they do not interfere with each other like other email applications. I can also access my common chat apps and other social media apps. I am able to integrate programs like LastPass and HubSpot. I can log into the Shift application from any computer and access all my accounts in one location without having to add them back in one by one. It's easy to use and light weight, so it doesn't interfere with the other things I'm doing on my computer, such as photo editing or playing graphic intense games. My only con of the application is the price. It's expensive, and the price has increased greatly over the years, but since there's nothing else like it out there, I keep subscribing. I do think it is worth the price, but it's definitely up there. There are no ads or intrusive pop ups to worry about. It's just a house for all your accounts. I highly recommend it, even if you just use the free version. Any time I've needed support, they are quick to respond and are always helpful.

Pros

  • Separates accounts in an easy interface that makes sense
  • Ability to integrate other applications and plugins
  • Able to access from any device without having to set up each instance individually

Cons

  • The price increase is too much, it was more manageable at $99 per year
  • I liked the original Windows Icon
  • Easily stay organized between multiple email accounts
  • More expensive than corporate applications, but still worth paying for
  • Access from anywhere and pick up where you left off
I have hotmail, Gmail, and enterprise mailboxes in my Shift application. All run smoothly with no issues or errors. I also have LastPass for each account so I never have to remember all my passwords. I have Facebook Messenger and multiple Twitter accounts added as well to keep up to date with my clients on social media. I've added my HubSpot account to my dashboard so I don't have to log into that separately. The list of available integrations grows every time I look at it with items such as ClickUp, Adobe, Atera, AWS, LiveChat, and more.
Shift has increased my productivity by keeping all my accounts open and top of mind. I can't forget to log into an email account because it's already open and notifying me of new emails. It is basically a one stop shop for everything you need all in a convenient location with easy to access buttons.
I find Shift easy enough to use, that I recommended it to my elderly parents to use instead of the constantly crashing corporate email application.

As a small business owner, I am able to have my business email accounts and personal email accounts open in the same application, where I can see notifications in one spot. I can't accidentally send an email from the wrong account as can happen in other corporate email applications. Emails and attachments don't take up space on my computer unlike other corporate email applications, so I don't have to manually go in and delete a 50gb files, and wait for my email to download again. It's all stored in the cloud with my email accounts. I can print and download from the application as well. There's a download history at the bottom of the page so you can open from the app or open from the saved location. It's just one simple click to move from one email account to the next, with a custom avatar for each mailbox. Each mailbox shows a count of unread mail so it' easy to see what needs attention.
