"Jelly’s Sweet Simplicity for Shared Mailboxes"

5/5

What do you like best about Jelly?

Its is incredibly simple to setup, and ridiculously simple to use. Does exactly what its supposed to do!

Having team members being able to share mailboxes and allocate emails to the correct team member means nothing gets missed. Its something that seems like there should be endless apps/options to solve sharing mailboxes but most a too expensive and over featured that they're just not a solution.

Jelly is sweet simplicity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jelly?

The way webmail rolls multiple emails into a single thread can make it hard to find the actual email / attachment hard to find if there has been many emails going back and forward. This isn't explicit to Jelly but seems to be the way many webmail systems work (e.g. gmail)

The new advanced rule features are only available in the Royal Jelly version - I'd love to have access to it as it would make our life easier, but the price for Royal Jelly is too high as I would use all the extra feature within that package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jelly solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the problem of missed emails, which has improved our customer service levels.

It also clears up the “who is doing what” question with any given email. If I need help from a colleague, I can assign the email to them and add an internal chat message, so those “I forgot” scenarios pretty much disappear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Jelly Is a Hidden Gem for Email-First Teams"

5/5

What do you like best about Jelly?

Jelly is a hidden gem.

In a nutshell, it's highly effective and simple inbox-sharing software for email-first teams.

Whilst being simple to use for non-technical folks, there is a surprising amount of customisation available under the hood, via the API and other features. This lets me, as a technical person, make it highly suited to our needs and I feel just as well served as those using the UI on a daily basis.

Finding a well crafted, clearly scoped tool (that also has friendly and responsive customer support) is getting harder and harder these days, but with Jelly we feel like we have struck gold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jelly?

There is nothing we dislike about Jelly. I guess, if I had to say something, it would be that if we ever opened another communication channel, like WhatsApp, we would probably have to move to some other bloated, expensive omnichannel competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jelly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Jelly solves email inbox sharing perfectly.

We run a service where we are in contact with customers over email for a 6-9 month period, often exchanging emails on a weekly cadence.

This means, a big challenge for us is keeping a clear context of what was previously discussed, especially if a different team member engaged with this customer previously.

Jelly lets us auto-assign emails, label emails via the API, internally comment and discuss emails, all of which allow for the intelligent routing and efficient processing of all emails in our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Shared Inboxes That Prevent Missed Customer Emails"

5/5

What do you like best about Jelly?

I like Jelly's simplicity, and the price is great too, though it's not the main draw for me. The design is very similar to Hey email, which I liked using, so it was very easy for me to adapt to. The API is great for connecting to agents, and the saved replies have been great. Setup was very, very easy—as long as I had access to the domain host, it was a breeze. It's great, simple software that anyone can pick up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jelly?

I wish Jelly had a native mobile app. The PWA is okay, but a native app would be so good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organized Shared Inboxes with Useful Team Collaboration"

5/5

What do you like best about Jelly?

We use Jelly to manage several shared email accounts. With lots of emails coming in across different accounts, it quiets things down and lets us act in an intentional, focused way. I can see everything clearly in one place, and it helps us stay organized and on top of emails. The developments have been really useful, and the support is fantastic. I find it really useful to discuss an email with the team before sending a reply, and I like that Jelly has templated replies built into the system. The setup was easy.

"Simple Support, Strong Team Visibility, Flexible Labels"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Jelly?

I like Jelly’s simple UI and that everyone on my team can see all of our customer support outreach. It helps us interact with customers quickly and solve their issues. I also find it helpful to have internal conversations about a user’s inquiry and use labeling and filtering so we can answer users in a timely fashion. I really value being able to customize labels to tag conversations for future follow-up on new feature launches or automate replies to users who reach out about particular items. Setup was seamless with our email notification system, and getting our employees signed up and into the flow went smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jelly?

It would be great if Jelly also allowed for external tools like our vendor support systems to be connected through an API or MCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple and affordable shared inbox"

5/5

What do you like best about Jelly?

Jelly makes it easy to share responsibility for all the conversations our group has. It's easy to see which conversations need attention, and trivial to jump into any conversation, even after it's started.

We looked at other more "complete" support tools like ZenDesk and HelpScout, but they are way more expensive (you have to pay per user) and more complex than we need. Jelly presents email just like email, and there's a flat cost which means we don't get penalised whenever someone new joins our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jelly?

It'd be great to have more collaborative features (like seeing each other's draft emails), but I've been assured these are on the roadmap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jelly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are volunteer organisers for a community group, and Jelly helps us manage all of the incoming and outgoing email. We have people contacting us to give talks, and we also contact suppliers like venues in order to arrange hosting for our monthly meetup. Jelly makes it trivial for any of us to be able to initiate and participate in any of those conversations, and to jump in as required (e.g. if someone is on vacation). Jelly also makes it really easy to see who has taken responsibility for each conversation, so nothing ends up slipping through the cracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
