"Feature-Rich, User-Friendly, and Fast Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Zulip?

The software offers a wide range of features and has a user-friendly interface. Its analytics are helpful, and I appreciate the quick response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

The attachment size is insufficient, and I would also like to see a lower price category for organizations with a larger number of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We previously used Skype, but this platform has resolved all our team collaboration issues and provides a much faster, more responsive app. However, it would be helpful to have an application, in addition to the main app, that does not require a constant internet connection, so it can be used in areas where internet access is unavailable.
