Overall Satisfaction with Shift

Shift keeps all of my business applications separate from the traditional browser. Since it syncs, I can have it on multiple devices and still be able to have all of my applications available. It integrates with almost every application that I've tried with it. Overall, it saves me a ton of time by having everything all in one spot.

Pros

  • Clean minimal layout
  • Supports a ton of applications
  • Keeps things separate from traditional browser

Cons

  • More customization within the design (colors, custom icons, etc)
  • Ability to add/dock a music player near the top icons or address bar
  • Add YouTube Music as a "Google App" in the top right
  • Add Google Messages as a "Google App" in the top right
  • Shift has allowed me to become more efficient with projects and tasks
Anything that is needed on a consistent or regular basis is running in Shift. Along with Gmail and other Google services, I have multiple Slack channels open, multiple chat and messaging platforms, and our project management system. Even things like YouTube Music are nice to have running in the background and not have it occupy another browser tab that gets lost in the shuffle.
I feel like we are much more organized and efficient at the key services and elements of our business. Regularly, we are required to complete tasks quickly. This usually requires creating tasks, assigning them to the correct team member, communicating the request with the team member, then logging time the task took. All of this is easily done via Shift.
Since day one, it has been easy to get up to speed and easy to implement into your workflows. I'm constantly trying to figure out additional ways and methods to implement in it so more items are contained within Shift. The layout make it easy to make subtle tweaks to further increase productivity.

Do you think Shift delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Shift's feature set?

Yes

Did Shift live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Shift go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Shift again?

Yes

Any situation where you have key elements of your business or job that exist in a browser and you constantly need browser tabs open. It's great about keeping all your tools in one spot.

For the common internet user, it likely isn't ideal because a lot of Shifts benefits aren't meant for the casual user.
