I recently tested Ryver, a team collaboration platform that combines messaging, task management, and voice/video calling into a single application. Here is my detailed review: Ryver stands out for its ability to integrate team communication and task management seamlessly. The platform allows users to organize discussions into open forums, private teams, and direct messages, making it easy to compartmentalize conversations. One of its unique features is the ability to turn any message into a task, which can then be managed using a Trello-like Kanban board. This integration of task management directly within the messaging tool is particularly useful for teams that want to streamline their workflows without relying on multiple apps. Additionally, Ryver supports file sharing from platforms like Google Drive and Dropbox, which enhances collaboration. The platform also offers voice and video calls (currently in beta), which are effective for remote teams needing real-time communication. Another highlight is its integration with Zapier, allowing users to connect Ryver with over 2,000 other apps for extended functionality. This makes it a versatile tool for teams with diverse needs. Moreover, the unlimited file storage across all plans is a significant advantage over competitors like Slack. However, Ryver does have some drawbacks. The user interface feels heavy and can be confusing for new users. It takes time to understand the layout and features fully, which can slow onboarding for teams unfamiliar with similar tools. Notifications also lack advanced customization options like keyword alerts, making it less flexible compared to competitors such as Slack or Microsoft Teams. Additionally, while the task management feature is helpful, it lacks the depth of dedicated project management tools, and tasks can feel disorganized when spread across multiple forums and teams. Audio quality during video calls has also been reported as inconsistent by some users. In conclusion, Ryver is a solid option for teams looking to consolidate messaging and task management into one platform. While it may not have the polish or advanced features of some competitors, its affordability and functionality make it a practical choice for small to medium-sized teams prioritizing simplicity and integration. With some improvements in UI design and task organization, Ryver could become an even more competitive player in the collaboration tool market.
