Zoom Workplace vs GlassFrog: Which is a better fit?

Jose: My name is Jose. I'm an inside salesman for a top industrial distributor company for any sort of industrial parts, and I would rate Zoom Workplace five out of five. Besides Zoom Workplace, I don't think I've ever really used any other one. I've used FaceTime, Skype, but doesn't really compare to the capabilities Zoom Workplace has. The reason why we choose to stick with Zoom Workplace, it makes it really easy to do remote work. So just recently, we've implemented remote work and it just makes it really easy to communicate. You can mute people, you can type in the chat. Let's say you're on the go, you don't have to really be on the camera and you can even access it on your phone. So it just makes it really easy to communicate with the team and then just do remote work. I think it's really easy to get started with Zoom Workplace. You don't even really need an account to use it. It makes it easier to be able to log in and start meetings for next time, but if you want to make an account, you can make an account. You could start meetings. You could join meetings just based on a link. Pretty easy. Everything's there. You could just put help or it tells you whatever you need. And then it's just really easy. For anybody that's starting Zoom Workplace, I would recommend making an account with them just because it makes it easier for sometimes when you get sent a meeting and you don't have an account, you have to sign in again and again, or you have to join as a guest. And sometimes people don't know who you are, so they won't admit you into the meeting. If it just says, "Guest," nobody's going to admit somebody that says, "Guest," but if you put your name, make an account, then they know who you are and it makes it easier to access meetings. And then I would also recommend, basically, yeah, just make an account and then start meetings by yourself too. You can start meetings with friends. It doesn't really have to be for work, but with Zoom Workplace, it's great for work.

Marnie J.: My name is Marnie. I'm a co-executive director in a nonprofit, and I give GlassFrog five stars. Before we found GlassFrog, my team used Smartsheet, Google Sheets, and Excel to track our roles and accountabilities. But none of those tools are suited to a context where people are using Holacracy to organize their work. My team chose GlassFrog after we had adopted Holacracy and we were looking for a tool that would support us in our practices. We adopted GlassFrog after trying to use other ways of tracking our work, and it vastly exceeded our expectations and really supported all of our ways of working together in Holocracy. When we adopted GlassFrog, it was very intuitive and easy to use. We encountered supportive tech support, and we also found that the publishing of Holocracy habits by HolacracyOne really supported us in using the tool more effectively. I found that for myself and for other team members whose roles were primarily oriented around desk jobs and computer use, it was extremely easy to rely on GlassFrog for much of our day-to-day work. For team members whose roles tend to be more physical, away from their desks, there's less day to day use of GlassFrog, but nonetheless GlassFrog is still a very important part of their work life because it supports them in meetings. And especially in having the wealth facilitated governance and tactical meeting format that is useful for all team members regardless of the nature of our roles. My organization practiced holocracy without the support of GlassFrog for some time before we found this product. And I'm so glad we adopted GlassFrog and started using it in our team. I find that the way we work together is so much smoother and more effective now that we have this tool. If anyone is practicing holacracy without the supportive GlassFrog, I highly recommend adding this product it's well worth the cost and it supports the team and supports the people and the work.
