What do you like best about Ryver?

I've enjoyed Ryver's clean user interface and easy management features. It's easy to put together teams and channels and change notifications for them. And because of their API, we've been able to integrate our 3rd part apps. For the features you get, the price has the best value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

It would be nice to have more flexibility with the team notification settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a widely distributed team doing tech support, development and marketing. Ryver has been a central place to collaborate and share news that is not email. It's more affordable than Slack and has some nice task management features we've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ryver?

I love the checklist and tasks. This was lacking from our previous portal and once I saw this feature I was sold. I can now track my employees progress on a task or project and they can check each others too. It's probably the single reason why we have stay with Ryver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

When we have our phones plugged into our car and listening to music, the music stops when we open up Ryver when a new notification hits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ryver:

Cost of product is incredible and features they have to offer are even better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ryver?

The best part is the Task Module. You can assign tasks to your teammates and keep the track until the task is finished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

I like everything in Ryver. Maybe, more plans (each company have different needs) $$ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communication problems were solved with this tool. We received hundreds of emails and now we can focus on important issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ryver?

Works brilliantly, especially with our remote teams, and inevitably keeps the email burden to a minimum Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

Occasionally find the (Android) app freezes or gets stuck - but restarting the app or a forced stop works fine without disrupting the sessions or channels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our business operates entirely as a remote team and Ryver makes it incredibly easy to keep in contact without wading through endless emails.

We have used more heavily in the past to manage multiple projects in separate channels - and that works fine for us - but mostly team comms these days Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ryver?

The "unlimited" side of things. Unlimited users, files, history, etc.. is really nice. Including tasks is helpful if you need to share tasks with other teammates. I like how each forum is setup with a chat as well as topics so you can separate long term discussions from day to day chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

They were free, said they were going to be free, and now they are charging a monthly/yearly fee to use. The system crashes quite frequently and some of the features just don't seem to be ready for a final product. My employees have told me it disconnects constantly. Notifications don't always come through and the mobile app is very crude. There isn't a customizable status anywhere that I can see so you are stuck with the built in options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ryver:

I really hope charging for this product will improve it. I only stayed with Ryver because a.) we were already knee deep in with our company integration b.) there was a deal price signing up for a year c.) it was the cheapest solution that met our needs. If the product does not improve closer to Slack I am strongly considering moving back to Slack or to a solution that Microsoft or similar companies offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Ryver to communicate across the country with our 5+ locations. We can all be on the same page through each of our departments. We realized having everyone from the same department in a shared forum allows for less duplicate messaging from standard messaging clients. It saves time in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jack Heald of Ryver

Thanks for an honest review, Justin.

We only get better when people tell us what they DON'T like about Ryver. Positive reviews *feel* good. Negative reviews help us get better.

So again, thank you.

We wouldn't put up with a product that disconnects constantly, and we don't expect you to do so either. We'll figure out why you are experiencing this, and get it resolved.

Your experience is not what we want for our customers, whatever the cause. I've asked our VP of Development to dig into your issue.

He'll be contacting you directly to address these concerns and get them resolved.

What do you like best about Ryver?

Ryver has great functionality especially for my team. We love being able to categorize all pending tasks and put all our discussions into various topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

If there was better support for Ryver voice and if it worked in different browsers and mobile as well that would have been great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ryver:

Ryver is great and there is really good customer support/service. They will take care of your concerns! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a non profit organization and we were definitely able to get far more organized with Ryver. It is easy to use, explain, and interact with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ryver?

1. Ryver reduces email, yeah!!

2. Allows for focused conversations for boards and committee

3. Allows for separate committee workspaces and sub conversations

4. Creates a history of activity for board chairs and committee chairs to review

5. Assist with on boarding of new board and committee members by providing easy to access histories of the work being done and issues being discussed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

The orientation tools for new members could be a little more better. It would nice if Ryver provided some graphics and example maps for how it works. The challenge in the non-profit world is that many of the leaders and community members are not deeply engaged in the world of social media or computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ryver:

Provide adequate orientation for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The primary business problem address with Ryver is communication, specifically continuity related to discussions and conversations around complex issues. With email the conversations and email chains actually create more confusion. Ryver saves time by avoiding the avalanche of emails around a simple conversation. It also allows us to isolate components of complex issues for small or large groups to address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ryver?

Ryver is easy to get to grips with. We use if for our Parents Association, so is used by a disparate group with all skill levels with no training and they just get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

File attachments are just listed by the posting. Having a summary of attachments for each forum would be very handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ryver:

There are a number of similar products on the market, so check what you need and what it will cost for your size of organisation. Ryver provides free accounts for non-profits, so is a no-brainer for us and the flat-rate cost structure generally makes it cost effective for larger outfits. Development of the product has been steady, with new features being added and the product has been reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We co-ordinate our fundraising and publicity activities and Ryver helps both with the communications, but also with storing information, so when we want to re-run a particular fundraiser we have the details all to hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ryver?

Having a persistent record of discussions that can be sorted by task and topic makes recalling old ideas and maintaining continuity easy. Being able to add guests to single tasks is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

Interface is improving. In particular downloading attachments from the app and notifications need work, but have been getting better. Also, the inability to change a forum to private and vice versa is a little colorblind to work where security may change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ryver:

This is probably obvious for a larger team, but make sure to build the culture of using topics and tasks early, it is very easy to just use it as a chat system and there is a lot of benefit to the integrated nature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I should note that we are a single lab of ~10 people within the larger Rutgers organization. Schedules of a small research group, consisting of undergraduate and graduate students, are highly varied and also the level of knowledge ranges a great deal. Being able to instantly communicate in a persistent manner has greatly reduced delays. We are also experimenting with task lists. Adoption is slow, but with newer students we are already seeing that it helps focus people on what to do next and also provide me insight as to when people are pursuing dead ends.

What do you like best about Ryver?

When we first started using Ryver it was still under development, but already handled Email among our members better than any of the alternatives. The developers at Ryver worked with us on a few tweaks that made the system even better. Their support has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ryver?

I did not like the move to monetize Ryver when basic users were promised free use. Upon letting Pat Sullivan know of my concern - and inability to pay, since we were simply coordinating among a small group of outdoor enthusiasts - he modified the policy so that non-profits and small groups like ours could continue to use Ryver free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ryver:

If you have a small, non-business group it may not be reasonable to pay for this type of service. Since Ryver is free for non-profit and other groups like this, it's a no-brainer over the costly alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work with three small groups that use Ryver to coordinate and inform participants about activities and developments. Most of the individuals involved prefer email contacts while other prefer to have the whole string of comments and attachments available in one place. Ryver served both needs perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
