As a business that communicates with many different parties and relies heavily on team collaboration, it was hard to find a good solution....until we found Spike. It has been awesome and has definitely improved my teams organization and productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No major dislikes as of yet! just some additional features that could be added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a creative entrepreneur, I rely heavily on clarity in my communications. The way Spike displays email treads as a conversation is a game changer for me.
It sound simple, but it solves a big problem: We all know long e-mail treads can get messy really fast. I used to 'open up' treads to look for files, attachments, etc. but oftentimes, attachments don't show up inside a folded tread, so it takes a lot of time just looking for what I need.
A conversational display of e-mails solves this problem. I can quickly scan our conversation without having to ignore useless information like signatures etc., and access things that are of actual relevance.
It's a simple and elegant solution; more so because my emails are getting sent with all the extras like signatures. This way, on the other end of the conversation, my e-mails look professional and not informal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to see a little bit more customisability, like displaying avatars yes, or no, but these things are merely nic-to-haves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design and the read receipts and the features that distinguish it from other email clients. It's fast to load and easy and intuitive to use... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far there are only tiny things that could be improved - but I have a feeling the development team is on it already. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Spike simplifies the essence of email as a process and makes it so much easier to track, respond and create workgroups that make life much easier and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would love to better Calendar & signature integrations. The ability to create out of office and also calendar invites seamlessly within spike will be a welcome addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that you can sort your mail by person, like in iMessage, What's up etc.
The intelligent box also works great, thanks to which I can focus on essential matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In the app's current version, there is no way to add an image to text, not as an email attachment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the colorful user interface. Plus I also like how there are additional productivity functions beyond emails. Premium accounts are inexpensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I believe that the premium features are very handy. I believe Spike should promote those benefits more for its free users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using Spike for a little more than a month. I wanted to improve my productivity workflow and streamline how I handle level 1 and 2 communications (urgent and important). As a productivity expert, I found it was taking me more and more time to respond to my most important messages, emails, and media posts. I also had to go to multiple locations to ensure I responded to every message.
I like best that all of my messages are in one place, and Spike sorts them into priority order. If I am pressed for time, I can deal with only the top-priority messages and leave the rest for later. When I deal with level 2 communications (communications not addressed to me exclusively), I have an option too; Block, Unsubscribe, or schedule in the future. I deal with 90% of my essential (level 1) communications one-time; the second level is either blocked, unsubscribed or scheduled when I have time to deal with non-urgent communications.
I am now processing all my communication in half the time it took just one month ago. Win, Win! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I currently use multiple calendars, one for business and another for personal activity. I have noticed that my calendar entries are not always in the Spike Calendar. I think the is a bug when I have overlapping personal and business appointments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Beside Gmail spike finds me more useful and easy to manage. Their UI is super easy to use and very professional besidesthat this is my favourite choice of managing my emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No anything this is the best app but they have to focus on their marketing also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Spike makes communicating with customers as easy as sending a text. For the longest, we would have to sift through threads of emails and waste time trying to figure out where we left off. With Spike, everything is displayed in message format making email communication super easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing, their mobile and web app are on point! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
