Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The Links feature to files, documents, websites and other programmes is brilliant and unmatched with any other all-in-one clients I've seen. The notes management is simply excellent, well thought out and handy. Tasks are great and drag-drop to calendar. - better than many! Additional features like the post-it notes and password features and duplicates removal are all great bonuses.

Cons

  • The email interface is very dull and cluttered and having to resize all the dimensions of the UI after a while is irritating. Printing options are very poor and badly executed. Syncing between android and windows apps is pretty tedious and requires several attempts (although at least it does have this feature unlike many). When it works it is good though. No real PKM strong features nor ADHD friendly features.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

  • With Spike, conventional email is transformed into a chat-like conversational style. Users accustomed to messaging applications will find this method easier to use and more natural when it comes to email conversation.
  • Spike provides us with an environment that facilitates interaction with third parties in different ways, whether by calls, messaging, e-mail, etc. Its platform is intuitive and straightforward; it is pretty easy to understand how it works and to take advantage of its many communicative and collaborative benefits for the benefit of work teams.
  • Spike is an interesting email client which transform your old boring email window to interesting communication interface. It offer amazing collaborative capability which make it it perfect candidate of client with exceptionally useful extra feature contributing to higher conversion.
  • #1- Spike is also supported on mobile platforms. #2- Inbound and outbound emails converted into easy chat interface. #3- Task tracking and organizing are very convenient. #4- Team collaboration is great with its realtime chat.
  • New way to start chatting without sharing your mobile number, so it helps if you have privacy concerns. It has all of the feature that typical email apps have. Also integrated with voice and video calling.

Cons

  • Although Spike offers a mobile app for access while on the move, some users have noted that it occasionally has less functionality than the web version.
  • It is multiplatform, but its application for mobile devices is not as optimal as the computer one; some functions cannot be used.
  • Spike offers many add-on features with no extra cost involved. It's a great tool for email with collaboration. No Cons.
  • #1- We had an overall positive experience with Spike.
  • Till now I didn't faced any serious problems with this tool.
