Pros

“I have used it in small research groups around five people to coordinate joint writing and programming projects, in university courses I teach with a larger number of students, and in a large research community with thousands of members.”

Malvin G.

Assistant professor

“We also wanted something that would allow for voice and video calling and file sharing, and the ability to post your status so that each user can see at a glance who is available.”

Karin B.

Operations Manager

“There's a wealth of options for private and public channels, types of notifications and their behavior, and robust permissions.”

Jacob W.

Maintainer

Pros

“As a teacher I used this as a communication method for our student government and found at times the age requirement restricted some students from signing up.”

Benjamin G.

Teacher

“Our different departments as well as our team as a whole are able to post communications and announcements easily with easy notification features.”

Jeffrey L.

Practice Manager

“I can also add polls, calendar events, tag people and add them by email or phone number to the group.”

K F.

Director

Cons

“if you have a lot of channels & topics it can take a while to scroll through relevant ones or sometimes it's hard to find what I'm looking for, especially when it auto-collapses between DM and channels”

Jen C.

Chief of Staff

“Teams crashed, wouldn't open properly and had to manually boot up the "old" version for it to work, it would randomly close in the middle of the work day or fail to show a notification so messages were missed.”

Madison C.

Parts Manager

“The biggest negative feedback we receive using the product is that it is up to the user to manually update a custom status, and custom statuses cannot be saved as a preset.”

Karin B.

Operations Manager

Cons

“I feel like its hard to search through the photo gallery of groups in GroupMe.”

Nick M.

Club President

“I have also had issues recovering account information when trying to reset a password.”

Nick M.

Club President

“However, it lack good media quality for attachments and there are security issues.”
