Spike is amazing and easy to use.

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Spike from other similar products?

Spike was amazing and the support is amazing, helpful, and quick. The conversation screen made discussions easy to read and plan to use it with future business projects. As an entrepreneur, I often try out new business ideas and Spike made that easy for me.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite part is that I don’t have to spend most of the day cleaning out my inbox, and I also really appreciate the display contact feature that shows you all previous emails in the side panel in addition to the sender’s name and picture. I’ve tried other people, but Spike ignores them all.

What do you dislike most about this product?

With built-in blocking, simple mass archive, and trash functionality as well as easy mass unsubscribe, Spike practically automates inbox zero. The issue I’ve had with nearly every other email client in which you can’t tell which way the conversation is going or where the most recent message is is resolved by grouping messages by conversation participants and presenting the thread like a chat conversation. It’s just logical.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Honestly, I don’t find Spike difficult at all. Being able to use a Gmail email address with it can be great because when testing new business ideas I don’t always set up a domain, but that doesn’t stop me from using Spike as a tool in my business.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy

Cons

  • Less Performance Enhancing

Fantastic Chat-Like Email Client

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Spike from other similar products?

Spike's chat feature makes communicating with colleagues and students feel like using an instant messaging app. But what really sets it apart is the fact that all conversations are saved in your email record, making it a powerful tool for professionals who need to keep track of important discussions.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The chat-like interface makes it easy to keep track of all your conversations, and the email record feature means you can always go back and find important information when you need it.

What do you dislike most about this product?

While Spike is a fantastic email platform with many great features, there are a couple of areas where it could improve. One issue that some users have reported is that copying and pasting text onto emails can sometimes be problematic. This can be frustrating for users who frequently copy and paste information, and can slow down productivity.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're new to Spike, one recommendation I have is to check your preferences before using the platform to personalize your interface. This is particularly important if you plan to use the unified inbox feature, which allows you to view all of your email accounts in a single inbox.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
