Never Lost Your Contacts
Comments: MY experience is un-explainable because since my kid days I am still using Gmail Shared Contact features to store for all my contactability needs.I still have details which were used long long ago ,decade almost i should say. If you ever look back towards than only ,one would know how valuable it is which store precious details so easily . Moreover I would love to go out of my way to say, I love it so much that I am still using the same GMAIL account/ shared features which I created 20 Years Ago as a kid.
Pros:
Gmail shared contacts is one of the easiest tool one would ever imagine that value you contacts with ease with absolute security.It never let your contactablity go away from yourself.It is so easy that if you ever used a contact details using this source to communicate with anyone than no matter what happens it will always be there however details need to be synced..I think 80% of people as a computer user is very much aware what a shared contacts gmail is .and It is exceptional because it touches millions of people around the world by giving a opportunity and value every contactability one has ever used keeping everything easy.
Cons:
The lease I like about it is, the customer service response because as per my personal experience it took three long days to respond any little query over a simple glitch occured .We are in 21st century and it is not appreciable in such a fast pace world.
Does what it says
Comments:
We are happy to be able to share contacts & groups with this app.
It allows us to contact groups of people (and individuals) such as sales etc, more easily.
Pros:
It shares contacts between users of GSUITE within my organisation, which has proven valuable.
Cons:
Some functionalities are missing, it seems. Such as automatically sharing new contacts, or easy group management. However, it seems like this *should* actually be a core feature of Google Contacts within GSUITE itself, so I guess Google is more to blame than the developers here.

Hi Pepijn, Thanks for your feedback! We're always trying to improve the app and your suggestions are always welcomed. Regarding automatic sharing, once the groups you have decided to share with other users are sent, any change will be shared automatically as well with the app's synchronization :) Don't hesitate to email us to [email protected] for further suggestions or inquiries.
Good Option
Comments: This allows me to have multiple accounts and keep lists updated for me and my team.
Pros:
This solution does what it advertises, allows sharing of contact information. It works across many Gmail and Gsuite accounts.
Cons:
It is a bit challenging to configure and a bit pricey. Items shared seem to keep dropping off "My Contacts" but that is sort of minor

Essential addon for Gmail
Comments: We share several address books within our company and it's great knowing they are always up to date for all users
Pros:
This app is very easy to use and does exactly what we needed!
Cons:
Not being able to share an email group with all users at once makes sharing with more than 5 people a little time consuming. Although it is something you only need to once.

Fire the Techie!
Comments: Easy peasie lemon squeezy!
Pros:
Who needs a techie when it is so easy. It just works and all the staff pick it up instantly.

What isn't to like. It just works with no fuss.
Service for sharing contacts, very useful

Pros:
We use the service to share contacts of the entire team, and some professionals, either to keep in touch for urgent cases, or to have contact for networking.
Cons:
I have no problems with the service, it is simple and useful. Maybe the layout was more dynamic, it would be better
Useful

Awesome stuff
Pros:
Most I like about this software is that it’s easy to use
Cons:
Nothing to say about liking it the least
have used it for years
Comments: Gave our team the ability to work out of one set of contacts across the whole team. Really helpful!
Pros:
I liked that I could avoid an expensive CRM while having the functionality of sharing contacts across a small team.
Cons:
Some issues sharing with another domain that restricted the app. Worked fine with Gmail and my domain.
User friendly
Comments: I have enjoyed the feature
Pros:
User friendly software with easy navigations
Cons:
Sometimes, it just hangs and wouldn't upload the files
Simplifies life daily
Comments: I have realized how to put my contacts into categories to make it so much easier to share certain i formation with the target contacts needed.
Pros:
This is do dimple to use. I deed helpful with organizing emails and frequently used contacts. Which on a daily us do useful and huge time saver.
Cons:
I have no complaints in over two years of using this particular flatform.
Contacts disappear
Comments: Frustrating. Nobody at the helpdesk advises us of problems.
Pros:
Promise to share contacts between all company users on different devices : a centralised company address book
Cons:
Regularly, contacts disappear of our lists, we don't know why. Also, it generate duplicate addresses all the time. Erratic! Impossible
One Set Of Contacts
Comments: It has solved our problem with global contacts and overall we are happy with it, except for the little problem as described above.
Pros:
We really like this as it's a seamless way to have a common database of all the business contacts across all our users, but we can also choose to have certain contact groups not shared with everyone.
Cons:
When a user who's got access to add, edit or delete contacts in the shared group makes changes, the changes sometimes do not appear in the group owners contacts. We often have to go into the contacts sharing online and switch on and off sharing for it to work properly.

This software has a GUI that can easily be used and manipulated by any type of user.

Shared Contacts for Gmail was designed perfectly for simple applications and uses and there are no features, functionalities and usefulness that I don't like about this software.
