On the downside, if you are self-hosting, Zulip requires a dedicated server (or VM). There are some efforts to make it run in a container but nothing that works really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Searching for and chatting with topics. It is fully internationalized. I did not experience any bugs at all . It runs very well and dozens of integrations. All my problems here are solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zulip?

I like that it's very simple and easy to use. It's fairly intuitive, so it doesn't require much time for new users to get used to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

I don't like the way they do notifications. When I first open the app on my desktop, it shows me all my new messages, but it will get rid of the notifications if I scroll through all of them, meaning it's easy to miss some of the new messages. I also don't like the way images send (where the image is very small). I'd prefer if images could be shown bigger, taking almost as much space as normal text messages do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Zulip has made it easier and faster for us to communicate internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zulip?

Zulip uses to express our thought clearly with a bulleted list bold, italic, and so many. It has fun expressing ourselves with emojis. It has the option to the shared link and automatically generates the preview. Discuss code with ease using Markdown code blocks, syntax highlighting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

It has the central issue of not showing notifications for new messages. It couldn't work in the lousy network—some problem with a processing time lag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once have a real-time chat helps to improve internal communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has all the necessary features one might expect from a communication platform, 1-1 chat, group chat, threads. The best thing probably is its open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably the UI, especially on mobile. Its hard to like it when someone has been using Slack. Feels very old school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zulip?

The flexible structure (topics within streams) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zulip?

No particular dislikes.. The user experience for mobile apps is less sophisticated than the Windows system app. (And for the design of messages , bold, underline etc. you need to use special characters, preceding and following the message. In every day use, with concise messages, this is not a problem) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Problems solved:

1. Optimize a-synchronous communication (avoid the complexity if Teams when user have mutiple Teams accounts)

Benefits: Excellent replacement for Whatsapp communication (with numerous disadvantages) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
