Review on Convo by Brian Trotter
We used them for one month for one of our team members, who is new to our company and to email communication, we tried Slack, Skype and Facebook messenger.
The result was bad. None of those worked. Because they didn't have the best software for us, we were not able to properly communicate, he couldn't see his calendar or the progress of his tasks. He felt lost because he wasn't sure how to do anything. After a month with Convo, we saw him become more productive, efficient, and comfortable with his job. We decided to use them as a team for our other team members, so far so good! It has helped us a lot, and we will continue to use them.
Pros
- Easy to create a group
- Has many templates for various activities such as calls, meetings, etc
- Can integrate directly with Slack (I haven't tested any other chat platforms yet)
Cons
- Does not allow direct access to data within the application
- Limited integration options with third party applications
