I love the Spike Notes feature. I have created at least 300 of them to save all of only info and to track tasks. I love the unified email feature, the seamless video chat and how Spike helps me to do it all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only con is the price point however because Spike helps me to save and make money with their tools, I would gladly pay it to help the team continue and thrive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The app is slick and easy to be used. I like a lot the messaging type of approach they took. Also, the Other vs. Priority email grouping is always correct, which I haven't found with other solutions, namely: Outlook and Apple Mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing for now. The app works well on mobile and desktop ( I use iPhone/Mac). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The chat feature and the team part of the email has got to be my favorite or most liked part of Spike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't really ran into anything that Ican say doesn't work properly or that I feel was put in place for no reason. I'm overall a very satisfied client Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been looking for good email software that's not super expensive and doesn't tie me down to one device. Spike is all that and more! I absolutely love the note feature where I can make checklists (I love a good tickbox) and take notes on the go. There is also a coworking feature, which is handy both for multiple people to work together, or if you like me just have too many email accounts for your own good! The customer service is amazing as well, I had a really good experience when I emailed with a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I suppose the only downside is that it's one more app taking up space on your phone, but that's a small price to pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's on every OS and available to all over email! In fact that's the best part. Because it uses plain ol' email, and webRTC technologies, it doesn't matter if the people you message have Spike or not because anybody with an email address just gets the messages and can do as much or as little as they need to do on the application side. It has also had a side benefit of being dead simple to show people what happens if they choose to upgrade and use the Spike mail client. They pretty much already are using it in their email box whenever I send them an email and so they know what to expect. Such a simple yet brilliant concept using universal email to deliver the services!
The amount of improvements and additional features are also constantly coming and the development and support teams are very responsive and open to hearing about new features anytime. In fact, you simply reply to any message they've sent out if you need help or want to talk about a new feature.
I also LOVE being able to recall anything ever attached to an email whether sent or received without needing to find the message it was attached to itself. It's like another cloud storage app in this regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dislike is a strong word-- I prefer to say "things that can be added or improved on."
The iOS apps don't allow text selection for copy/cut/paste operations without selecting the entire conversation. iOS/Windows apps are likely Electron/React based and don't have that issue. Not sure about Android. I'm sure the team is working on closer integration though as they have told me before so I'm not worried so much here.
A Linux client would be nice, but I use the web version so the only thing I'm missing is offline access the client gives. ...Then again, it's still email, so I can read and reply with the regular email app if I need to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to communicate with my teachers, and the interface is very easy on my eyes. I also really like their response time. The settings menu is quite customizable and you can change everything from 12 to 24 hour clock to custom signature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike how their dark theme affects the background of emails, since emails are usually written with black text, it becomes very hard to read over the dark background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It aggregates emails by sender. Thus it groups all emails I got from a given person into one trail. (So I can actually delete all of them no matter how old)
It removes all the noise from emails leaving just the essential stuff - your email chain looks like a clean chat window. No more useless indentations and other stuff.
The search is simple and SUPER fast.
Where have you guys been all these many years?! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't figure out how to label emails without actually moving them out to that label. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how easy and delightful it is to use -- feels like chat which makes me more likely to reply. Sorting is great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With an .edu email could have had a free tier. A bit more tagging and integrations would also be very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Chat style presentation of email threads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Folder structure is non-standard, moving email to spam or folders is a little cumbersome. No integration with task managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The conversational platform is perfect for today's communications. We're currently exploring how we can use Spike for our internal comms instead of Flock SMS. The interface is very intuitive and the customer support is the best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing that I dislike. I think it's still a young platform, so I'm keen to see how they expand it's functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
