* It is convenient when emailing with a specific recipient looks like a single thread. My students sent me thousands of emails, and it is very useful to see all the messages in one place without the risk to lose something.
* Spike gives free premium for students and educators. They recognize you as a student or a teacher by your university email. (However, mine was not recognized, so I contacted the Spike team. They answered in a couple of days, but for today, I haven't got my free premium yet — and so I can't say what I will like in this plan).
* The notes in the email client. And they are very fast and easy to create and edit.
* You can pin a thread.
* Unified view. All emails from all accounts are in one place! Now I don't need to check each and every one to identify the current state of affairs.
* Even the free plan has many useful features. This makes Spike a good addition to the usual web interface of your email account.
* doc and pdf preview
* infile search
* modern UI
* quite lighweight Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
* There is no solution for Linux. I use two operating systems, Windows and Debian, and sadly, I can use Spike only with Windows.
* Sometimes some emails do not show in Spike, although I see them in Gmail inbox. Maybe this is due to the limited amount of memory for the free account... Hope this will be fixed when my account is registered as an education account.
* Uncomfortable label management. I often put labels on threads, and then put off them. And in Spike this process is not so easy and obvious, as in Gmail. I would like to add a label in two clicks.
* There is doc and pdf preview, but other text file formats are not previewed. For example, .C, and other files with program code.
So, now I still need to combine using Spike and Gmail in a browser.
* The benefits of the education account are described not entirely clear. In addition to my work email, I actively use multiple Gmail accounts for my work — to differ the emails of different types. But it's left unclear to me if I'll get all the premium features only for my work email or for every account.
* At "My Account" tab I need to log in to see any info. Although I already logged in when added my accounts to Spike. And also there is no mark of the current status of my account, only buttons to subscribe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love about Spike is that I can set it up on multiple devices to access my emails, notes and events no matter when. The text-to-speech feature is great for listening to my emails out loud while doing other tasks so I don't overlook any pending communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a personal observation, I would say that the search tool could be optimized to be able to get more accurate results right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was in search of a single platform that would connect me to all means of communication. The concept of integrating Email, Chat, Video Conferencing and Documents in one place felt like a fairy tale. Not more switching between apps, just easy environment centralization! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I were left frustrated and had to communicate, mainly using other platforms to ensure that we were on track. The communication was a mix of chat and emails and it was not easy to retrieve particular details within a particular project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Spike gives the liberty and flexibility i need to not just handle mails but also to collaborate with colleagues,share files amongst ourselves and also organise chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing much to complain but i wish there was a way to click on a calendar date in an email and have it added to the spike calendar.Smart email folders might also be useful for spike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It eliminates the clutter to allow you to focus on who you care about.
It is from a company that confidentiality and trust are foundational.
The more I use it, the more I find things I love about it.

I just hope this company holds out for the long term and becomes the multi billion dollar company it should be and not just another lame division of Salesforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The company is almost impossible to communicate with. Even placing an order to buy the bloody product seems to be ignored,
To be fair I wonder if the issue is explosive popularity combined with the fact that many of it's staff may have been called up for miltary service.
