"Feature-Rich, User-Friendly, and Fast Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Zulip?

The software offers a wide range of features and has a user-friendly interface. Its analytics are helpful, and I appreciate the quick response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

The attachment size is insufficient, and I would also like to see a lower price category for organizations with a larger number of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We previously used Skype, but this platform has resolved all our team collaboration issues and provides a much faster, more responsive app. However, it would be helpful to have an application, in addition to the main app, that does not require a constant internet connection, so it can be used in areas where internet access is unavailable.

"Great communication platform"

5/5

What do you like best about Zulip?

Channels and conversation threads are very useful for compartmentalizing various conversations. The web/desktop interface is pleasant and intuitive. The support and documentation are very effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

The mobile application's interface is a bit confusing and not very intuitive. But these issues seem to be resolved in the new version of the app, currently in beta version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are a small association, and we used WhatsApp for management before switching to Zulip. This solved several problems.

Firstly, Zulip is more "asynchronous," each volunteer can respond when they have time, whereas WhatsApp is instantaneous, requiring the message to be managed as soon as it is received and is also used for personal purposes, mixing association work with daily life.

Secondly, information is not compartmentalized in a WhatsApp group. The structure of conversations in Zulip allows us to be informed only about topics that concern us.

Finally, the search function in Zulip (coupled with the conversation structure) allows us to better find information when we need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
