I use it for quick communication with my research group of 15-20 students. It provides easy navigation and organisation into channels and topics. Unlike slack, it does not delete messages after 90 days\! > > **Cons**: Some actions don’t feel intuitive. IIRC, various roles in the organisation have not worked as expected. New posts get added to a ‘no topic’ - and need to be moved manually. Adding a new person to a DM creates a new conversation- they can’t see older messages. ----- ### "Zulip just works for Maths and Code" — 5.0/5 > **Siddhartha** | *6 December 2024* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: \* It has excellent support for code and mathematics, and also images. \* Its markdown-based composition support is also excellent, including nice features like timezone independent times. \* It has a very convenient streams and threads model, allowing for focussed discussions over time. \* The apps are good, especially the desktop app. \* The developers are responsive to feature requests and issues raised. > > **Cons**: I have not faced any real issues with Zulip. > > I learnt of Zulip because of its use by the Lean community, where it has been superb. Over the years I have seen software communities (mainly scala earlier) move between various discussion forums, always trying to tradeoff. With Zulip everything is essentially as it should be, allowing asynchronous coordination of workflows involving code and mathematics in an intuitive and clean fashion. Except for the phase when Gitter was well maintained, Zulip is the first forum which just works. ----- ### "Best opensource IM app for team communication" — 5.0/5 > **Vijayvithal** | *6 December 2024* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Threaded/Topic View. It is a good mix of email and IM > > **Cons**: Nothing. The application met all my requirements. > > I switched to zulip from slack\! I use zulip to manage communication with a team of 30+ interns. Zulip met my requirements for team communication ----- ### "Zulip - Works for handling large groups." — 4.0/5 > **Mithil** | *6 December 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very fast and has nice interfaces for building interactive bots. > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to send stickers in chats. And, the UI for replies could be better (I am used a thread like interface) > > Overall, I find myself using Zulip for large teams, club discussions ans orchestrating multiple groups. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/197945/zulip?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/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
