  1. [R2] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US The best communication app, especially if you are invested in the Zoho ecosystem.: After being on the Zoho One plan and invested in the entire Zoho ecosystem for almost eight years, we decided at the end of last year to switch to Slack and other applications. Slack is great, but what you lose is the integration, in particular, let's say, with Zoho Click across all the apps that you work with. For
  2. [R20] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US Way surpassed expectations: I was strongly recommended this app by a friend to use for my startup tech company. I was very hesitant and reluctant as I had always used either Slack or Teams in the past. I was extremely surprised that I found that Cliq to be significantly nicer than Slack. It’s not as good as Teams obviously but it’s WAAAY less expensive which gives it the edge for me at least. High
  3. [R61] Pronto Team Communication 2/5 · US Request: This review becomes a 5 star review when you can schedule messages! :)
  4. [R63] Pronto Team Communication 3/5 · US Almost there: Needs ability to schedule send messages (without making it an “announcement”) and the ability to use bold text in messaging.
  5. [R7] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Super bad and useless app! Nothing is intuitive and is a hassle just to get it working!: You only get one shot to impress user and you’ve failed at it
  6. [R33] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Unhelpfully simple: The app is too simple so you cannot do even basic tasks like: - format text - find a recent thread - mention a team
  7. [R62] Pronto Team Communication 5/5 · US Convenient: I really appreciate the app. It helps to connect with classmates and the video meetings are great to work on group projects. It’s a quicker way to get a response on your phone while away from your computer.
  8. [R80] Pronto Team Communication 5/5 · US Great for team collaboration…: Pronto is exceptional for small and large group collaborations, and has great UI and UX interfaces and engagement.
  9. [R1] Zoho Cliq 2/5 · US Functionalities - Good, Security Implementation - Bad, Performance - SLOOW: Most functionalities are good and at par with comparable products. Security implementation, especially MFA is clunky and does not work well when on low bandwidth connection - eg airplane WiFi. Performance - Cliq on Mac shows blank screen on loading when on low bandwidth connection. Generally poor performance.
  10. [R21] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US App crashes immediately after update: I have been using Cliq for a while on my iPhone 6s (iOS 15.8.3), but after the latest update, the app crashes as soon as I try to open it. I tested it on another device, and the same issue occurred. Please look into this and provide a fix as soon as possible. I rely on this app for work, and it's currently unusable. Thank you!
  11. [R29] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Can’t even open the app without crashing: Old reviews said this would be fixed over 2 years ago. Just downloaded the app along with my team, and it has crashed for all of us.
  12. [R65] Pronto Team Communication 5/5 · US Good app: The app has never presented an issue. Seemlless.
  13. [R72] Pronto Team Communication 5/5 · US Wonderful App!!!: Pronto is the way our family stays connected. We share our joys and our sorrows, laugh at the funny things grandchildren say and do, support each other even though we are miles apart , all the while, staying close to our children and grandchildren. The one person who helps us the most is your CTO, Ben Dolman. He’s always ready and happy to answer our family’s technology questi
  14. [R90] Pronto Team Communication 5/5 · US 5 full Years. Awesome results. 0 Issues: I’ve been using pronto for a total of 5 years now. Initially in 2020 I was just a rep at a sales company and never noticed how useful it was until I stepped into a management position 3 years ago in 2022. Events, competitions, operations, onboarding, company announcements etc… You name it, the app runs so smoothly and reps/employees feel the same pull to
  15. [R47] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US iOS cliq app issues: Last time I gave 4, but this time 1 is enough. It seems no care about customers. Although we go through Zoho assist with Technical department & they assured me that next update will fix all addressed bugs, but new update came & no change. Congratulations; That’s the Zoho customer service without any attention!!
  16. [R43] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Worst application ever. Frustrating!!!!: I’ve used it for weeks. Previously I’ve used slack. Cliq is too much buggy and UI/UX is a total mess. You can easily get lost in menus, threds are showing really bad. Even you may be mentioned some where and it won’t notify you some times! We’ve sent feedback to the team and they ignored and didn’t fix bugs. I hate this weak and frustrating app. Actually it
