Blink Reviews

Blink provides me with an excellent way of communicating with colleagues and getting company updates out to the wider business. I find it better than email as it has a more natural flow and much more efficient as you can create multiple relevant chats and groups for all your requirements. Notifications are great and it intergrates with all my other apps.

I'm looking forward to the getting an update to enable messages to be sent after being offline, this would enable
Me to use offline and keep up to date with chats.

Customizable communication tool. Holds all colleagues contacts and can be used as a single point of contact. Very useful and used even more since Covid and has not become a critical point of my daily

Uploads are cumbersome. The platform is good for basic communication but cannot handle large campaigns or file sharing.

It is very easy to communicate with colleagues and make groups

Notification in Window 10 are not very visible

After a workplace change to work from home, an application like this link your workers together and keep them updated on each thing with one click away

Integrated calendar from email could be better, for example, send in notifications

This allows us to effectively communicate to our colleagues within our offices, across the country. Which with real time updates and alerts this becomes incredibility easy.

Some of the post filtering options do require some setting up and testing, but once done it's easy to use.

The Feed works great. It pulls everything you need into one space. The messaging side of Blink works very well. Instant messaging, teams, spaces - very easy to use.

Offline working would be nice, but these days everyone is online for the majority of their workday, so just a minor nice to have.

Great for immediate comms anf info sharing, to get feedback

Not easy to find previous posts, better filtering needed

I specifically like how easy to use it is. I find that I can quickly find exactly what i need to, along with it being a great platform to socialise with colleagues.

I haven't really got any negatives. I feel its one of the best software's that I have used!

It's easy to use and really good as free app

No support! i bought the business and I didn't see any differences worth the money! and when I contact them no reply! even phone number always busy like it's a scam! use the free app and don't upgrade

The ability to communicate, connect, engage and share content is as simple as possible using Blink! We love the engagement we get from staff through likes, comments and acknowledgements which are vital to to us.

Three file maximum upload to posts can be a nightmare when we are doing big campaigns to staff especially around COVID since we are a health care company. Additionally, the 250mb max upload is again a hurdle due to us having to upload various videos which we have to upload via youtube and link it through due to size restrictions.

I like the Hub and quick/direct links to our firm platform portals. Blink is also been a great tool to use and publish timely announcement and feature articles. I like being able to post as either myself or part of the Communications Team and the ability to view post analytics. It would be interesting and perhaps useful to connect/align Blink posts with Slack and/or Microsoft Teams since the majority of our employees also use those tools to communicate and collaborate with each other.

I am not sure if many others within my organization use the Chats feature since there are already so many other tools and applications that provide that functionality for us.

Makes to passage of information across large amounts of staff seamless and easy.

Only issue I have is not being able to do admin on a mobile.

This app makes other apps like slack look like a joke. It channels, feeds, documents, integrations. So much more for less.

On occasion we have to refresh the app. Not the end of the world by any means and I feel confident they'll work through random bugs!

We have 25 depots around the UK. There was a time when we didn't know what was happening in the other depots but now all employees from other depots post their comments, feedback and other things on Blink so now we don't miss anything :)

There is nothing to dislike about Blink :)

Since working from home Blink has been invaluable to our team as it allows us to communicate throughout the work day as if we were in the office.

Sometimes news feed is hard to filter and important information can sometimes be missed

It's easy to use and performs like other popular private social media sites.

There is nothing i don't like at the moment

The product is really user friendly. Admin functions are straight forward and nothing is too many clicks away.

Occasionally when posting pics into the feed, they display as a link as opposed to the picture but with some fiddling i can usually solve this issue.

Easy to use
Quick feedback
Fun
Good platform

No out of office facility
Hard to find previous comms

Ease of use - no training on basics required. Very intuitive

some of the search facilities could do with fine tuning

Blink has some neat features like email search via its platform through single sign ons. It has a hub that makes important work docs painless to find/use immediately. Chat is great and quick.

Notifications need to be improved. The team worries that messages fade into obscurity rather than being seen by appropriate parties.

I love how it's feed-based and gives a sense of community when working remotely full-time. I joined my company in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and it has been a great way to meet other coworkers and engage - everything from discussing holiday plans at home to finding internal webinars to attend.

At first, it was a little tricky to find how to post information or how to find groups; the more you use Blink the easier it becomes.

As an Admin user, I find the systems easy to use and moderate.

I have not found any part that I do not like as of yet.

This is more than just a messaging app, a great one at that, It enables teams of staff to interact and collaborate with each other enabling a variety of benefits to arise. Some of these benefits include a growth in culture amongst teams and the business, the ability to contact others regardless of time, location or device and the simple yet effective layout of the App has made it more appealing and enjoyable to use. The App allows people to contact all teams during emergency situations. This proves effective during unprecedented events such as the recent 'Beast from the East'. Mostly we like the ceiling of the product. Many products in their early days are plagued with bugs and developmental issues, however, this software has had very few, this is a huge positive as this is rarely the case for new software, this puts the software in a league of its own.
