"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."

A handy CRM with integration that works well for small businesses What do you like best about Streak? Streak's format is essentially what I think of as a clickable, expandable Excel spreadsheet. Having everything laid out clearly when opening pipelines is important to me and how I stay organized within my own brain, so this is definitely a highlight of Streak. We have been using Streak since the very early days (2018) so we've seen a lot of improvements come over the last several years. I also appreciate the design of being able to see emails and everything attached to a box all in one newsfeed-like layout. Being able to see everything all at once is imperative when revisiting a client's box to give yourself a synopsis before diving into something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Streak? A minor gripe (and I mean minor! it's not a dealbreaker) I have with Streak is the occasional downtime. It is most often during the workday, which makes sense, but not having access to any of the boxes in our pipelines because they won't load due to server or other issues can be chaotic, especially if the box you're trying to see is not one you've primarily contributed to. The other thing I am hoping for future change on within Streak is the reports feature. The reports are rather weak and honestly aren't helpful to us. We aren't able to craft anything that is really valuable to our business and goals with Streak's integrated reports, so it essentially requires us to seek an outside way to build them, which also means they unfortunately cannot be housed in Streak. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Streak: I think Streak overall functions in a way that is best for small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Streak solving and how is that benefiting you? Server uptime has definitely gotten better over the years, so that helps us without explanation. I have also seen many feature and bug improvements come through in the newsletter and overall, that makes for a better, higher quality product.

I like the ease of use as a Coordinator. My time spent scheduling has shrunk majorly, leaving me more time to focus on recruiting, on-boarding and training. The calendar makes it really easy for me to see what my week looks like. The sorting function help me isolate events to more easily see events. Even the color and font choices used in the apps is pleasing to the eye! The support from the Nowsta team has been amazing. They always respond within minutes through their direct messaging function and not only resolve the issue, but are a blast to work with. It's been a year that we have used the software and there have been endless improvements to functionality. They have expanded the system in many ways, allowing us to change our payroll functions and save money. Many times, we have seen areas for improvement, have sent the Nowsta team suggestions and then seen the tweaks in the app a few weeks later. The team at Nowsta is the ultimate example of continuous improvement. My staff really enjoys using the app and it has actually been a help in hiring as well. I mention it during the interview and I have seen candidates' faces light up with excitement that we schedule with such a convenient form of communication.

Streak reviews
"You need Streak for sales CRM if you're using google suite!!" What do you like best about Streak? Seamless interface right inside your gmail with the CRM tools. When a customer emails you, you automatically see everything about that account from your email. Your teammates can see all interactions as well. It's totally customizable and very easy to create your own tools specific to what you want to know and track about customers and the sales process / cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Streak? I love the desktop features and need to spend more time in the iOS for iPhone because I haven't used it much and there must be some synch tools I'm missing out on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Streak solving and how is that benefiting you? We stopped printing documents when we started using streak, and everyone was comfortable changing the SOPs because of the transparency and easy interface in streak. We use streak across departments, so it's benefiting cross departmental communication. It greatly helps us incorporate remote working into our daily operations, for any team member to be wherever they need to be and still tap into all of our sales and orders/customer platforms.

everything you need & nothing you don't" What do you like best about Streak? Having a CRM implemented into my main communication funnel has been crucial in how smooth & organize I am with my contacts. I have yet to have a project go untouched or a client to be followed up with. I love how intuitive it is with the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Streak? It has been tough to link it with my external systems. I know APIs are a two way street but it can be clunky to link this together with a project management tool right out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Streak solving and how is that benefiting you? Streak is keeping me organized primarily with my client & project communication. My inbox of deals, projects, and support tickets is always organized as soon as I open Gmail. It's super easy to navigate to find the information quickly & efficiently.

"Best CRM for Gmail users" What do you like best about Streak? What I like the most about Streak is that it is easy to use as a powerful worksheet over Gmail - and when you go deeper it´s a powerful CRM like no other, and a lot more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Streak? The to-do list could be a wider window, and the support could be a little bit faster. To be very honest, I don't see any downside to using streak, even in the beginning it is very easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Streak solving and how is that benefiting you? As I am a hard user of Gmail, it makes sense to use a CRM that works over the platform, the idea of the pipeline works very well and it can be customized as easy as a worksheet

"We have loved the Nowsta program and they have great customer service."
- Merle T.
"Excellent Timekeeping Program" What do you like best about Nowsta? Nowsta is VERY user friendly and all our staff love it. I love the easy reports and payroll features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Nowsta? THERE'S TRULY NOTHING WE DISLIKE ABOUT NOWSTA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Nowsta solving and how is that benefiting you? We have solved the clocking in away from work with their mapping feature and we've seen a dramatic drop in clock out failures and even overtime, since the system alerts us.

"Never been so efficiently staffed!" What do you like best about Nowsta? We started using NOWSTA almost 2 years ago and it has made scheduling so much more efficient. We use it throughout our company - from servers and bartenders, to kitchen, warehouse, and office workers. The platform is user friendly for both schedulers and staff. I have been the Staffing Coordinator for DSquared Hospitality Company for almost 13 years and we have never been fully staffed so early for our events! And I don't have to rely on temporary staff as much anymore because we are staffed more efficiently. Thank you NOWSTA! Bonus - Nowsta's email newsletters are very informative and concise in the topics of labor laws, staffing trends, and other topics related to our industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Nowsta? Nothing major to report, overall it works very well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Nowsta solving and how is that benefiting you? Problems of staff not being able to quickly and easily view and accept shifts have been solved. The whole platform is easy for me to use as a Staffing Coordinator and make sure I am able to offer shifts to the right staff for the job. Because we are staffed more efficiently, I am able to rely less on temporary staffing companies, saving us money. We are able to use the system company-wide for many different types of laborers (as opposed to using multiple staffing platforms for service staff vs office staff or kitchen staff). This allows any manager to get an up-to-date report on staffing in their teams, departments, and company as a whole. Worker data is also easily accessible.
