Blink Reviews & Product Details

Staying in contact with my coworkers and up to date on agency news. The specific channels are also really fun to have to keep information organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limitations on the font formatting when creating a post and other design options. That there’s no option to search the blink feed and filter what to look for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the forms feature in Blink. They allow us to create and easily share forms, which are accessible on tablets, phones, and desktops. Capturing signatures with these forms is very important to us. Additionally, they turn digital forms into PDFs that we can store electronically, helping us move away from paper. This feature helps significantly in our transport operations where compliance and interaction with frontline staff are crucial. It helps us capture evidence that certain processes have been followed, like drug and alcohol testing or vehicle checks, and makes the whole process less time-consuming. Blink does all these things in a very engaging way, and the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do think that sometimes it can be a little overstimulating because there's an awful lot of content on the first pages. That's fine for some people, particularly if they're using the app regularly. However, for some people, particularly those who are neurodivergent, or just busy and not checking in very much, the amount of content can be quite overstimulating. A 'reduce content' button might help allow people to process that in a simpler form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Blink for its intranet features where my company shares posts about project updates and important news. I find the knowledge hub with pages of general information very useful. I like how Blink creates a space for us to share, making it feel like a social media site, allowing everyone to post and comment, rather than just having one-way communication from management. It's easy to post and accessible for all employees. The features like priority posts with tracking for reading confirmation, and the AI help in writing posts are particularly beneficial. These features help me better manage HSSEQ and ISO requirements, providing traceability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search function is not great. And finding back to older posts is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blink was very easy to set up, and it’s just as easy to use day to day. As a charity, it’s been great to know there’s no cost for us to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a charity user, we get Blink for free; however, we’re unable to take advantage of Blink Forms. As a charity, we have many different team members who use Blink, and we would really benefit from using Blink Forms directly rather than having to link everything to Microsoft Forms. It’s such a shame, because this seemed like a great feature for us. Additionally, there’s no setting to allow or disable email notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the most helpful thing about blink is that you can chat with anyone in the company just by looking up a name. It helps me keep my work content and communication on one app instead of everyone having my personal phone number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think blink can get a little confusing to navigate when your places overload it with tons of different content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Blink makes the sharing of any news easy within my role as a marketing and community officer. I like being able to put out posts with links and images while also having the capability to comment and like, which provides a sense of community. I also found that the onboarding process was really quick and worked from the get-go. I would definitely recommend Blink as I rated it a 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe having different feeds, for important news, celebratory posts and monthly reminders about things happening etc not sure if that’s possible now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We previously used another platform, which has since been discontinued. When searching for a replacement, there were limited suitable options available; however, Blink stood out. It was straightforward to set up and allowed us to onboard the team quickly. The platform is clean, intuitive, and easy for staff to navigate, even for those who are not particularly tech-savvy. This has helped drive engagement across the team, as users can quickly access what they need without extensive training. Performance has been reliable overall, with no significant issues. The system runs smoothly across devices, and we’ve not experienced any major downtime or delays. From a cost perspective, Blink offers good value for money. The ease of use and quick implementation meant we were able to realise benefits almost immediately, making it a worthwhile investment for our organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few areas where Blink could be improved. It would be beneficial for each team member to have a more interactive profile where they can post updates and engage with others, helping to build better communication and team connection.

Additionally, it would be useful to have a clearer, more visible way to see who has read messages without needing to go into the settings.

Finally, introducing features such as polls would enhance engagement and make it easier to gather feedback from the team quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Blink very easy to use, especially for creating the necessary Individyal team threads and sharing information. I appreciate the complete audit trail feature that allows me to save all the notes from a thread for reference. I love the fun features like the tea break and throwing confetti, which we use a lot. I do like that the app works on both desktop and mobile, allowing us to use it anywhere. I like that I can speak into it and send images, which just makes Blink so easy to use overall.

A search function for inside the private chats so older chats can be more easily found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that there is a home page & a messaging platform. I also enjoy using the team recognition feature where you can shout out team members that are doing well, have improved, on their birthday, or on their work anniversary! Another thing I've enjoyed about Blink is that they have listened to our feedback in ways to better the platform. For instance, my team suggested to them that they allow the use of all emojis when reacting to messages, and that was a feature they included in their next update.

The only thing I'm currently disliking about Blink is one of the features included in the last update. You used to be able to click the create button, search the person's name who you want to message, and then it would bring you to your direct messages with them even if you've already created a message with them before. But now when you do that it creates a separate chat that almost looks like a group chat between the two of now. The workaround for this is now you must search their name in the search bar, click their name, then click Chat, and send over a message or it will bring you to your existing direct messages with them. A pretty nit-ppcky thing that I dislike but I'm just being honest here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
