Unlike Microsoft Teams which emphasizes power and extensive features, with integrations into the Microsoft ecosystem of apps, Glip is more like a sip of collaborative messaging which you can start gulping if you so desire. One benefit to Glip is that you don’t have to learn anything new if you are used to Slack. One unusual feature is that Glip supports electronic fax through RingCentral. Like Slack, there is basic file-sharing and you can connect file storage services such as Box or Google Drive. Glip excels at basic communication-related functions such as setting up tasks for team members (so they know what to do) and meetings (so they know when to meet).

Glip allows you to create tasks for team members and set due dates for their completion (Image credit: RingCentral) However, Glip authenticates the person or team that is connecting quickly so there isn’t the usual back and forth about meeting codes and passwords. Another point to make here is that Zoom (opens in new tab) is a partner for this, so you are really starting a Zoom call. Essentially, initiating a video call means you switch over to RingCentral Meetings (opens in new tab). (Glip also lets you talk by voice and disable video.) This is not exactly seamless once you start using the feature, although accessing a video call is quick. If you want a simple summary of how Glip is different from most messaging apps, it’s this: You can video chat quickly with anyone.
NOZBE GLIP REVIEW GENERATOR
You could make the argument pretty easily that, as a Slack and Microsoft Teams competitor that’s relatively unknown, Glip is meant as a lead generator for RingCentral as a company voice and video service. Glip is a feature-packed service that allows teams to collaborate without the need to switch apps (Image credit: RingCentral) FeaturesĪs mentioned, the most powerful features are related to voice and video chats, which is no surprise considering this app is made by RingCentral.
