GoLinks Reviews & Product Details

Honestly, GoLinks just make life easier. Not having to dig through a chaotic bookmark bar or bug people on Slack for links every five minutes saves so much low-key frustration. Typing go/roadmap or go/metrics and getting right to the doc is just clean and convenient. It’s a simple tool, but once it’s part of your routine, you definitely notice how much smoother things run.

The main downside with GoLinks is the guesswork when you don't know the exact name. If someone created go/q3-goals instead of go/q3-roadmap or go/goals-q3, you end up playing a frustrating guessing game in your search bar. Typing in three different variations that lead to dead ends completely defeats the point of having a quick shortcut, and you end up having to ask someone on Slack anyway.

It killed the "where's that doc again?" problem. Instead of digging through Drive or pinging someone on Slack, I type go/onboarding and I'm there. Simple idea, but it saves me a few minutes a dozen times a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The links themselves are easy to create, which means people create a lot of them and then forget about them. We've got go/ names pointing at docs that were archived a year ago, and there's no good nudge to clean them up. Some kind of stale-link flag or a prompt to the owner would help a lot.

The best part is not having to hunt for internal URLs anymore. Instead of digging through Slack or bookmarks to find a dashboard or doc, I just type a short link like go/jira or go/calendar in the address bar and I'm there. As a newer employee, the directory has been surprisingly useful for discovering internal tools I didn't even know existed — browsing existing go links is honestly a decent onboarding tool. The variable links are a nice touch too, like starting a call with someone just by typing their name after a go link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It depends on a browser extension to work, so on a fresh machine or a different browser the links just fail until you set it up. Also, link quality depends on people maintaining them — some links get stale or are poorly named over time, though that's more of an internal discipline thing than a product flaw.

I use GoLinks every day, and it has become one of the fastest ways to access internal documentation, dashboards, tools, and team resources. Instead of searching through bookmarks or multiple knowledge bases, I can simply type a GoLink and get where I need to go immediately. It's easy to create and share links across teams, the search works well, and it has noticeably improved my productivity by reducing the time spent looking for internal resources.

Overall, I've had a good experience with GoLinks. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that finding the right GoLink can sometimes be difficult when there are multiple links with similar names or outdated aliases. Better organization, duplicate detection, and more consistent naming conventions across teams would make it even easier to discover the correct resource. Other than that, it has been a very useful tool for day-to-day work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed/muscle memory : go/runbook, go/disputes-dd, etc. beats hunting through Confluence

Shareability in Slack/Jira : easier to drop go/creditdisputes than a 90-character URL

Survives doc moves : link doesn't break when someone reorganizes the Confluence space

Onboarding : new folks learn the namespace faster than learning where things live Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two minor frustrations. Discovery gets harder as the namespace grows I've occasionally created duplicates because finding an existing golink isn't as smooth as making a new one. And golinks depend on the extension or DNS being configured, so they sometimes fail on new machines or external devices, which means I'll paste the raw URL as a backup. Neither is a dealbreaker.

I like that GoLinks is very easy to use and basically saves time instead of writing a long email requesting something. You can just choose a category, write a short description, and it takes like just a minute or two to submit a request instead of spending five minutes writing an email. I mean, it's just a very simple form, and it's like a very easy experience that helps streamline all the processes within the company. Everything is automated, and there are already categories for different requests you can submit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is great so far. The support is helpfull! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Increased efficiency, quicker navigation, easier collaboration. It's been so easy to use! The UI is easy to navigate. The onboarding is painless. It integrates so well with my daily workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None. Other than convincing people to ditch bookmarks. Bookmarks a thing of the past though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use GoLinks to make quick shortcuts to important documents at work, which makes it easy and accessible for others to view important things. I love that it's easy and fast and that everyone knows to use the Go/ convention, which is widely followed. I think that the UI is pretty easy to follow, and it's super easy to see the big list of popular Go links, who made them, etc. Also, the initial setup of GoLinks was very easy!

I think there may be a little too much information on the main dashboard. I would suggest simplifying the sidebar to improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find GoLinks useful because it serves as a single source to find all websites and locations important to my company. I like that I can create links or shortcuts specific to teams, the company, or individual members, which helps with organization. I also appreciate that when URLs change during testing and QA, it's easy to update the underlying URL in the GoLink. This allows specific teams to access these resources without needing to update everyone or change their bookmarks, making organization a lot simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things that I wish it had or was more prevalent was when you start to enter go backslash, or click on the shortcut button in Chrome, having some of the top options and things like that populate. It would make it a lot easier to use. When clicking on the shortcut/extension button in Chrome, I don't like that it initially prompts you to create a new go link in Chrome. I would rather see all of the most popular links under that button and then maybe an alternative to create a link somewhere else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about this app is how it standardizes resource sharing across our entire organization. It makes different departments to connect and collaborate easier by creating a single (and predictable) naming convention for all of our critical tools and documentation. It reduces repetitive questions and makes sure everyone is always looking at the single source of truth :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since creating links is so easy, links can accumulate quickly, making it necessary to periodically clean up inactive or duplicate go/ shortcuts so the workspace stays organized but that is pretty much the only drawback I can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
