Cam M
Executive Director
5.0

Speaker 1: I'm Cam, senior director in our company, anywhere between 20 and 25 employees across the world at any given time. I couldn't go a day without Slack. That's five stars for me. Before Slack, we actually had to use two different software options. We used Sococo for our virtual meeting offices, and that served a purpose. It was good for a little bit, but then as we got bigger, we also had to use Skype. And so a natural progression was moving on from both of those into one that offered the same exact offerings, if not even more, and that was Slack. So previous to Slack, Sococo, Skype, and a couple other different instant messaging systems, all provided by Slack going forward. Everything from the pricing to the ease of deployment to how quickly we could get up and running, and just how generally available Slack is, whether it's desktop or the app, and from a mobile phone, you could have a web browser, anything you wanted to. You're never away from Slack, technically. And so, while that might not be a good thing for the work-life balance, it definitely made it much easier to deploy than anything else we researched, and we got forward. And now, it's just part of everyday life. The reason we chose Slack, one of them at least the biggest one was how quickly we could move everything from previous options or previous programs we used to deploy the day of. So I think that was on a scale of one to five, five being the easiest. It was a five. If not, even higher than that. It was as easy as possible to deploy Slack, get everything set up from our exec team, and then trickling it down. It took maybe a matter of a half hour to get everybody on board and inside of Slack, and it's still even faster now. So that was probably the biggest factor to getting us over to Slack in the initial phase. Recommending Slack, or if you're choosing between Slack and something else, just try the free version of Slack and understand that that is good enough to probably get you in the door and keep you in the door as well. The paid version and the other offerings from Slack make it even more integral to your business, so I would highly recommend giving it a shot. Just in general, the ease in which you could get started and the ease in which you could continue going forward without skipping a beat in your business needs, whatever your business needs might be, it's Slack and Slack going forward.

Neal G
Yoga Teacher, Web Developer
5.0

Neal: Hi, my name's Neal. I'm a website developer and a yoga teacher, and I use Nimbus Web regularly. And I give it a five star review. And for more information, click below. Before Nimbus, I was using a little Word app or Google Sheets or Google Docs to write notes about, for myself to remember. Sometimes I'd use a notepad on my phone or on my computer. And there was all these disparate notes all over the place, and it was hard to bring them all together. I also used Microsoft to do lists, but the features weren't really useful. So now that I've got Nimbus Web, I have all these features in a design that I really love, and it's becoming much more useful for me. Why I choose Nimbus Web and why I continue to choose Nimbus Web is because the design. I love the UI designer of the app. It makes it really simple for me to find the tasks that I want, to find the notes that I want, and to add those tasks. And I can do that either on my laptop, and I can do that really easily on my phone. So it's bringing all those things together and making it really useful for me to continue to do my work, and to keep on track with the tasks that I've got to keep on track of. To get started with Nimbus Web, it was the easiest of all the apps I probably ever have used. It was really clear that onboarding was simple, and it was very intuitive to use. And it has been, and that's one of the reasons why I really love it. I've tried other apps and other task managing apps, and they were just really complicated. And because of that reason, I didn't really get into it. Whereas with Nimbus Web, the design is really well thought out, and I actually really love using it. If you are considering Nimbus Web as an app that you might use, I highly recommend that you give it a go. I don't think you'll be disappointed in any way. It's simple, it's intuitive, but it's got lots of great features. The screen capture feature is really useful. The task features are really useful. The documents are already beautifully designed. Yeah, I highly, highly recommend it. I wouldn't do without it.
