    gathering emails and chats in one place is perfect for me to perform my work very efficiently without having to move between tabs to go from one platform to another and answering chats that confused me where I answered them or Of so many open applications I did not answer all the chats, since I have Spike as part of my work I have felt more organized in my chats and emails to answer. The unification of these processes is quite simple and so organized that in a matter of seconds it integrates very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    It's just not as necessary as expected. I still felt like I was using email, but without the usual feeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Billing is not transparent, tough to make billing changes on your own. And the support team is unresponsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    the ability to have it setup on multiple devices so you have access to the information when you need it. Being able to "PIN" items for quicker access. also the ability of finding any attachment based on a specific contact.

    I love the way it takes out the extra elements in a mail like images and branding, and makes it 100% text. Which helps you get to the point and understand what need to be understood.

    The integration was incredible and easy. You can switch from people to more traditional view and once you have used Spike for a couple of days it truly is remarkable. No longer frustrated by the threads and wasting time looking for the right one to respond to, its just so good to have that chat like experience and to be honest I am loving it on mobile devices which I cant say I did with Gmail.

    One of our European clients was trying to get a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly email client alternative to Microsoft suite as they warranted budget-based to try out a few use cases and sent RFP to a few vendors. Spike was one of the considerations. Cut to 2 months later, they onboarded Spike as their daily driver email and messaging client and were very happy with the decision. We as consultants helped them make that informed decision. Spike is my favorite conferencing or cloud meeting software since we can access the system remotely when someone is speaking. The most beneficial function is sharing the meeting tape through chat. Otherwise, we'll require cloud storage. It has Excel and Word. It cleaned out the inbox automatically, merged linked discussion threads, and, most importantly, turned each email thread into a chat-like dialogue, which is simply so much more convenient. I really really like the function that allows us to take notes, as well as the automated prioritization of emails into "priority" and "other" categories; it is also quite accurate. You may also check to see whether anybody has seen your email; this is a significant step forward.
    Spike groups similar emails so I don't have to hunt. I can pin critical emails and eliminate spam emails with a few clicks. Emails (multiple accounts), calendar events, and team interactions are all integrated. The super search tool is fantastic; it searches all emails, including attachments, all events, and all team communication. The cloud integration is fantastic. Chat and phone calls are integrated (video and audio). Simple and powerful UI. It's easy to use and includes many valuable options for keeping your life and tasks organized.

    What's special about Spike is being able to use with any email that i already have,also it was more visible, it's better to visualize emails in such a nice interface like conversations with multiple features like people mode where everything is organized by contacts which is a helpful key in a professional environment (inside the company with clients) also you can select messages who are more important to you .i love that it's easy to delete those messages
    Make boring emails into conversations Easy to delete messages Priority :in messages The possibility to see if someone is online or not

    Spike was put through its paces to see whether it may serve as a useful tool for our team's collaboration. For casual communication, we rely heavily on Telegram. When it came to email, I looked at solutions that would allow for a more fluid experience. Yes, Spike's was the right choice. A UI for this kind of experience was provided by its user interface.
    There is an uniform experience because it consolidates email accounts. Spike's chat-like interface is its main selling feature. Files may be easily shared by connecting to cloud services.

    Adding a little extra room to the UI will make it even better. Pixel blocking would be excellent. There is some work to be done on the widget that they give, despite its promising potential.

    I wish the calendar was more robust and provided a comprehensive look. I'd also want to have multiple windows open. The inability to sync settings across devices. Configuring several devices with the same settings takes effort, particularly when it comes to custom IMAP. Email Signature in HTML is still not taught as the capability, which I'd love to see.

    I wasn't expecting this much efficiency in one app. As a project manager I have to closely follow up emails and people and spike makes it a 100% easier and quicker. The look and feel of the platform makes you digest information and send it without feeling the burdensome feeling of sending an email, you feel like you're just sending a text message. It also groups media files just like WhatsApp so if you can't recall the email title, you can just click on the contact and access to the media files sent and received.

    We use this software to unify common emails, with advanced messaging that integrates better additional functionalities for an improvement in productivity that is frequently carried out, especially when we address communication issues, in order to acquire a sophisticated context, for each one of the conversations that are usually established internally in the company, above all to reduce the clutter of data and messages that are made daily, in order to offer a much faster and more solid service.

    It's a bit of a change of approach, coming from more classical email services, but I'm finding myself drawn more and more to this app, and it has effectively supplanted my use of all other mail clients. I find the message-centred (i.e. like a chat thread) approach enlightening and very efficient. The learning curve has been very shallow (i.e. I've learned a lot / feel comfortable using Spike in a short time) and I'm really enjoying using the App!

    Hop allows for clearer communication and saving time spent on email. Allows for better context with a previous contact as well. I have saved a lot of hours on email, and a better experience then browser based email, or any other app.

    I've been using it for over a year now both personally and professionally, and believe strongly that it makes the email experience significantly smoother and more enjoyable.

    I've been using it for less than 6 months but I've found it so easy and user friendly. Feels like I'm using whatsapp for email. Which is so great.

    Tried various email clients for use across mobile and desktop, and Spike has been the easiest and cleanest to use. Works well across devices, has all the features - including a great snooze with no bugs - and does a good job of allowing control over priority emails and what gets filtered to "other" inboxes. Fast, easy to use, and reliable.
