(Original )Information
What do you like best about Blink?

Easy to use. It is easy to post into the feed. I like confidential chat and the facility to store documents in the chat as well as information in Hub. It makes it easy to reach colleagues in my organisation with key information that is relevent to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Blink helps you write a post using a feature called Blink Assist. Sometimes this is really helpful but if it is used too often, it becomes repetitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blink:

Turn off notifications for a single post please?

We would like to acknowledge staff anniversaries (Congratulations - 1 year service etc) so would like to know if this could feed into the system to say who has a employment anniversary each morning or week- in the same was Facebook tells you when it is someone's birthday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can communicate to the whole team, a number of teams or just a few members of a team. We have confidential team chats and store easy accessible documents.

We can communicate with each other at any time and get feedback on new ideas. If there is an important message than needs to go out to the team, such as an emergency road closure, it's useful that we can send a push notification with the message. This is very important with shift workers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Blink?

Blink has been a game changer for our organization! Since the very beginning of our relationship with Blink, we've been impressed. They implementation process was smooth, and the platform is so easy to use from a user perspective and as an admin. Our workforce is very dispersed and we were finding it hard to share updates with everyone, but Blink has connected us and overall our staff are more informed and engaged. The information is centralized and the platform itself is so similar to all other social media platforms, so the learning curve was easy. Our feed is busy, in a good way. Staff feel comfortable sharing information themselves (which has alleviated the workload for our Communciations Team), and the organization uses it to share news, important updates and all other information that is relevant to someone's job. I could go on, but overall we have been very happy and we appreciate that Blink works seamlessly on mobile and desktop. I would highly recommend this to a any company/organization with a dispersed workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

We've recently experienced some issues with the search function when a feed post if featured, however the issue is being addressed and the support team has been very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were struggling to get important information to all staff, and Blink has solved this communication challenge. We had found that many of our frontline staff didn't check their emails as frequently as we'd like, and Blink offers us an alternative way to stay connected. Forms, policies, HR specific requests, email can easily be accessed through the Blink mobile app which is available at all times and not reliant on our server. This was one of the big reasons we wanted to make a change. This independance from our servers means that during outages and technical issues we can still communicate with our teams.

What do you like best about Blink?

This platform has a user-friendly interface that is inutitive and easy to navigate. It has good performance, things load quickly on the news feed so I'm able to see company updates. I like the feature that you can prioritize based on urgency and that you can also include polls. I like that you can celebrate, thumbs up or do other functions for the comments. My company frequently uses this platform and it continues to serve us well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

I find when I'm trying to download items off blink it can be difficult - a lot of prompts before I'm able to have accesibility to the forms other team members have added. Would be nice to add a survey option. I could do without the "suggestions for you" option, just feels like unnessisry clutter to the home interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A way to communicate that is less clunky then group emails. Keeps everyone in the company updated on a platform seperate from emails which are categorized differently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

I'm a huge fan of Blink, both as an administrator and as a user. As a user, the experience is fantastic, super easy use but also to snooze in times where you’re away from work. It enables me to engage with all the teams across the wider business and collaborate when I’m needed without being overwhelming like emails can be. I use Blink everyday when I’m working and it’s my go too tool to manage communications about events, projects and updates that are required either for the whole business or specific smaller teams. As an admin user, the functionality and ease to make updates is second to none, it’s our go to for making our employee experience easily accessible and updatable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

In our organisation Blink allows for 'private' group chats' to be set up which can lead to many unmanaged conversations, tricky when you'd like to colaborate as these are more difficult to manage. would be nice to turn on/off some functionalty. That said, its not an issue just a nice to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows our business to communicate and collaborate across all teams in an efficient and effective way

Enables us to have a platform for all company employee experience material, thats easily accessible on all platform whenever and wherever they may be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

As we have colleagues all across the country, driving trucks, on building sites etc, Blink has given us an easy way to reach everyone across the business. One of our biggest successes is using Blink to share our monthly video update which provided consistent messaging to all our colleagues, as well as providing visibilty to our senior leaders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Blink has lots of great functionality, like storing important documents, accessing people forms, recognition, news etc but as you always land on the social feed, it can often feel quite busy when you first log in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Blink allows us to reach front line staff who do not have access to a company email etc. We can now reach all staff in the same way so we can provide consistent messaging across the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

I like the Blink gives us a centralized location for sharing social and business updates for co-workers. It's easy to login to and a simplee platform to post in. It's also a nice place to be able to post FAQ's or intranet documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Some employees are slow adopters because it's another piece of tech, but this isn't a problem with the platform itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blink:

Play around with it and see what works best for your company. As far as the HUB goes, organization is key but that will be different for each company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a good source for intranet, and sharing company social and news updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

Blink has improved our internal communication dramatically while cutting down on hundreds of emails! So much more comprehensive than Slack.
