Communication well organized in one place. Efficiency with team communication. > > **Cons**: Slack has a more crisp UI. The interface for Zulip doesn't look great. The backend is good though. > > Excellent. Thank you to \[sensitive content hidden\] \& the Team @ Zulip ----- ### "Safe and Reliable - Zulip is invaluable" — 5.0/5 > **Meredith** | *6 December 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zulip is safe and secure for all users - especially for minors who need to contact each other in a safe environment, without the worry of external influences Zulip has been invaluable. For both for administrators and users the desktop product is easy to manage and the layout is intuitive and attractive. Being able to customize it is an added bonus. Users can create individual discussions, or join together easily. > > **Cons**: The mobile app is less intuitive, but still useable. > > Our overall experience with Zulip has been amazing. During Covid we were suddenly forced into a situation where teens who had been seeing each other on a regular basis were isolated and we needed a safe reliable way for them to communicate. We started using Zulip at that point, and even when restrictions were lifted have continued to use it - it's a fabulous tool, great for communication, keeping users safe and apart from unwelcome external influences. ----- ### "Zulip ROCKS\!" — 5.0/5 > **Grant** | *8 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface with Channels, Topics, and Private chats > > **Cons**: It's missing a notes feature, but that's not its core function. > > It is the best chat system. I've used Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord, Google Chat (Hangouts) and many others. Zulip is the best. ----- ### "Excellent framework for managing research groups" — 5.0/5 > **Alberto** | *6 December 2024* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very simple and intuitive. Possibility to write latex and markdown. Free. > > **Cons**: iPad app is the same of the mobile one. But I think that it deserves an app similar to the desktop. The mobile app is too simple, with many options not already available. ----- ### "Great alternative to big name chat systems" — 5.0/5 > **Jen** | *30 October 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to use, I like the color-coding and ability to create channels \& topics. If you've used any other type of group chat you'll pick it up > > **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 > > We use it as our primary channel of comms at our company and it's been easy to use, everybody uses it, and we really appreciate the ability to host it on our own internal hardware and control the privacy settings ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/197945/zulip?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/197945/zulip) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
