What do you like best about Ignite Realtime Spark?

It's really intuitive and easy to use, transparency of users/roles is easy to view and categorize. It's used at an organization where staff are both in the room and remote so it's easy to coordinate amongst ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ignite Realtime Spark?

There's room for improvement on the design of the tool - the emojis are also extremely dated, it would be nice to have a wider variety - not a huge impact on usability, but it would be more fun! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ignite Realtime Spark solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working in a room that's extremely busy with calls and where staff isn't always available, it makes communication very easy to navigate, especially when teamwork is required on a call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ignite Realtime Spark?

Love the ability to see who is online and available, as well as the ability to mark myself busy, unavailable, etc. A convenient application to use when working remotely. The file transfer option works very smoothly within the application and makes it easy to quickly send documents and other files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ignite Realtime Spark?

I have experienced a lot of glitches with Spark. Often I will connect with a coworker and upon signing in the next day, they will show as pending, when we were able to converse the prior day. Other times, a single contact will show up 10x or more in the list of contacts which makes it super frustrating. Usually a force quit and restart will clear the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ignite Realtime Spark solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most notable is the ability to instantly connect with a coworker when working remotely. Additionally, the file transfer is quick and easy which can oftentimes be faster than emailing a document or file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ignite Realtime Spark?

With Spark, you can categorize your colleagues based on position or department. There is also a chatroom function that you can utilize for different groups of employees or for temporary projects so that all members are in one chat room. There are also a limited set of emojis. You can customize the layout and color scheme as well. Lastly, there is a function which allows you to grab someone's attention by causing the chat window to go to the top and "shake" the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ignite Realtime Spark?

Although you can customize the layout and design, it still looks like something from Windows 2000. A video chat function would be a great addition as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ignite Realtime Spark:

This is a great cost effective solution for inter-office communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ignite Realtime Spark solving and how is that benefiting you?

This allows for the communication among employees in the same office and those employees working remotely or at different locations. You can communicate realtime to address issues while on the phone with a client. This is a great product for inter-office communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ignite Realtime Spark?

This product is totally free! Spark integrates very well with your AD and makes logging very easy. Our company uses this as our sole IM application. There are some useful add-ons that allow you to do some auditing too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike about this application. Maybe the rollout of updates. Again, this is freeware so not a big issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ignite Realtime Spark:

Go for it! It is a fun project that is easily managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ignite Realtime Spark solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our employees can message each other without having WAN access. This is hosted on our server and only allows access to active users. This makes contacting other employees easy. Desktop notifications are easier to see and respond to than traditional e-mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
