Pros

“However, managing constant notifications can be overwhelming at times, and finding older messages in a busy channel can be tricky. While it improves team connectivity, the volume of communication can become distracting, making it essential to manage notifications effectively for a smoother experience.”

Arthi R.

Engineer

“Channels help keep discussions organized by project or department, file sharing is seamless, notifications can be customized to reduce distractions, and the powerful search feature makes it easy to retrieve older conversations.”

Emilia W.

Network Support Coordinator

“The intuitive interface, reliable performance, and wide range of integrations have helped streamline our daily workflows and improve productivity. While there are occasional challenges with managing large volumes of messages and notifications, the benefits far outweigh these minor drawbacks.”

Andrea L.

Innovation Manager

Pros

“Currently I'm teaching my VA how to prep the edit for my show and I was able to record a 45 minute loom for her to watch me edit the show in real time.”

Elysia S.

Founder

“I have a team that helps me with my business and podcast that live internationally. Because we work in different time zones, Loom makes it so easy to review projects and give notes in real time.”

Elysia S.

Founder

“It bridges the communication gap effortlessly, allowing for more personal and detailed interactions than text-based emails or chat messages could ever provide."”

Fathi A.

Network Engineer

Cons

“Notification management can also be challenging in active workspaces, leading to information overload if not carefully configured. While Slack offers powerful search capabilities, finding older conversations or specific files is not always as intuitive as it could be.”

Cristiano F.

Consultant

“The lack of proper conditional logic (if/then branching) is frustrating. If you want to build complex, multi-step flows with different outcomes based on user input, the native builder just can't handle it.”

Denis M.

Recruiter

“Notifications can become overwhelming fast if you don't take time to configure them properly, and most people don't — which leads to either constant pinging or people muting everything and missing important messages.”

Enish S.

Business Administrator

Cons

“There are no filters to enhance photos or videos, nor options to remove the background, edit audio, or trim unwanted sections, which limits creativity compared to the paid version.”

MOHAMMAD A.

personal using

“The only limitation I've encountered is the recording time limit on the free plan, which can be restrictive for longer, detailed walkthroughs.”

Fathi A.

Network Engineer

“I use two computer screens and I find it difficult to get Loom to record the correct screen or it will allow me to record the Loom homescreen, but not switch over to the actual screen I want to record.”
