(Original )Information
What do you like best about Zulip?

We have switched this year from Slack to Zulip and have been very happy so far! The greatest assets are

1) Zulip's integration with Github and other platforms.

2) Responsiveness to our bug reports.

3) Ability to make the channels web-public which makes our discussion platform much more accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

The topic interface can be unintuitive, especially because stream notifications are also a topic users can comment on. This leads to users accidentally starting discussions in the notifications box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communication of our community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zulip?

We used to use Discord for inter group communications in our Optimisation group at Monash University, but then it would be asking us every time to "upgrade" our services etc. We then discovered Zulip and have been very happy. It does everything we need, without annoying advertising, or upgrade "push". It works on all the devices we need, and is easy to install and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

It seems to need a Hard Reload quite often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It keeps group communications fluid, but recorded and searchable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zulip?

The full management to data and markdown editor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

The UI for the software may still need improvments, the default theme it is clear but hard to say very beautiful at current stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Compare to Slack provided by University, the data and attachement are all under control without worring about deleted by manager. The reason we switched to Zulip is University Slack suddenly changed their policy and we lose the access to data 3 month before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
