Glasscubes Reviews

Pros

It has intuitively well-placed modules (dashboard of recent content; very functional workrooms - each with separate document/comments and more; effective tagging; and global search are most-used and appreciated.

Cons

I would find it advantageous for Glasscubes to widen its array of pricing options.

Pros

Helps coordinate a growing community of practice

Cons

Getting things set up and getting people to initiate interactions (it still requires some management from us)

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Teams

Reasons for Choosing Glasscubes

needing to get things into one space as our community grows

Reasons for Switching to Glasscubes

Integration of zoom and means of setting up sub groups easily

Pros

Central location for all employees to access company information.

Cons

Menus can be tricky to navigate but the search facility works well.

Pros

The thing that I love the most about this software is that I can easily share files and manage documents without worrying about security concerns. I also am a fan of the fact that I can create my own personal content within the software making it possible for me to use just one software compared to the many that I used to use.

Cons

The thing that I like least about this software is the fact that sometimes it can be very difficult to review documents while in the native viewer setting. Another thing that I am not a huge fan of is the fact that most features are add-on software that is available to you at a higher cost that can be very expensive when added with the initial cost of the software.

Pros

I feel transferring files between different people and businesses is very easy and seems very secure to use.

Cons

I feel you can create things such as teams where if there are different companies collaborating on this then it will notify more than one person from the other company. As this is something that has been highlighted during my use of this software as my colleague would receive notifications and I would not. So maybe a feature where it would be easier for companies to collaborate to transfer the files easier.

Pros

The automaed reminders save time, once its set up you dont need to touch it.

Cons

Would like to be able to search via client name as well as email address.

Pros

Very easy to transfer information across from our cloud software

Cons

Maybe it could be easier to mark a task as completed

Pros

Very easy to use and great customer service

Cons

Some limited functions, would like to be able to add more detail to forms

Pros

efficient to use, keeps all documents in one place

Cons

finding a client by email as it takes up time.

Pros

It is very user friendly and simple to use

Cons

I have nothing bad to say about glasscubes

Pros

The high security and protection of key documents, as well as the function that allows you to share documents with juniors or other people without giving there the ability to download or edit the original. Also the documents on Glasscubes can be uploaded in versions, so previous versions can be tracked and secured when needed.

Cons

It is very frustrating to share with other organisations who do not have the permission to access and edit the document as they are not a Glasscubes user, this makes cross-collaboration hard. Also if multiple people work on the same document- at the same time, you will get kicked out and it will become locked to the main editor, so again- not good for multi-person editing and collaboration.

Pros

Version control - being able to see who has edited what and when, and also being able to revert to previous copies. Gives us additional peace of mind when a collaborative partner accidentally overwrites something.
The online editing and editing in real time is also really useful.
The security of the site and easy it is to control who sees what. Just incredibly flexible.
It's an incredibly reliable site.

Cons

Difficulty to say, as the team has always been very receptive to us asking for work arounds or new features that prove popular.

Pros

We have used Glasscubes for over 2 years to manage our bid development and project documentation. The key features that work well for us are:- Web based access allows staff based across multiple locations to connect, including those working on remotes sites not connected to our domain- Version control, easy to download/upload documents and provides detailed audit trail of activity- Ability to message users to notify a document has been updated, or requires input - invaluable during fast paced bid development- Easy to administer - setting-up new workspaces, enabling/disabling user access etc. takes seconds

Cons

With over 50 folders now, the list would be easier to navigate if displayed by group instead of a single list

Pros

Ease of use
Excellent labeling and parking of necessary files
File review and collaboration made easy
Easy management of access for large pool of users
Great discussion and polling options for online decision making
Global calling options
Pushed notices
Good calendar tool
Strong tech support

Cons

Sometimes difficult to review docs in native viewer/editor
Costs lower under 'per workspace' model than new 'per user' model

Pros

Easy to coordinate latest drawings with wider project team and make sure no one misses latest updates/revisions. Discussion function makes sure everyone is aware of what is going on and latest changes to design etc

Cons

other users can unfollow a workspace folder - without informing the main workspace admin

Pros

I liked the work space speacially how I and my team can look into my performance on a task, before using we were receiving hard copies for invoices where suppliers were charging us different prices, my team leader wasn't completely aware of how many claims are outstanding but now they can log in to Glasscube and monitor our performance personally.
Easy Data/file sharing.
Its like a social Media, interactive and interesting.

Cons

Although it shows you you have completed the task but it still stays there and you will have to sort it from completed to pending, it would be more easier if after a certain time completed task either go into another folder or disappear.

Pros

I use a lot more in marketing and in management and collaboration between colleagues. very easy to use in and well designed

Cons

I don't encounter any problem with the software... for the moment I take advantage of its many services because this software has more advantages than disadvantages

Pros

As a project that works across multiple education institutions we need to be able to access files and resources simultaneously while wherever we are working and glasscubes allow us to do that. We can also post updates for all teams to see and project data is kept safe and secure as we need it to for GDPR reasons

Cons

The homepage and dashboard can look clunky and a little boring and the search bar doesn't really bring up what I'm looking for but luckily files are easy to find in the management system.

Pros

Simple to use and very functional. Flexiblility to create archives, workspaces and files. Easy to organise how you want.

Cons

Process for making updates could be slightly smoother but really not a problem

Pros

Ease of use, versatility and user experience

Cons

N/a

Pros

It's easy to access and to use, particularly given that most of our users are not technically minded

Cons

On-line editing and sharing of documents could still be improved

Pros

Glasscubes has been invaluable to our team in a variety of ways. It has allowed us to work collaboratively and effectively in a team which is based across several, geographically disparate institutions. It has been really useful to house all of our resources and being able to edit in browser with Microsoft 365 has been very helpful.

Cons

I don't have anything negative to say about Glasscubes, I have found the platform to be incredibly useful in our team!

Pros

Easy to use and support has been excellent. Particularly useful for controlling document versions and issuing the latest information to your team. Would recommend to anyone looking to set up a company intranet

Cons

There is not an app version yet, so is not the easiest to use with a tablet. I believe this is being looked into though.

Pros

Easy to use, Tags are very useful and searching is a doddle
Just a very good product. Will save tons of time and paper.Customer service is outstanding.

Cons

I can't think of any cons.. at present as we have a very smooth operation with it.

Pros

Ease of use, collaboration and instant project tracking!

Cons

The only thing occasionally is it temporarily freezes but it is so minimal i wouldnt have mentioned it if you didnt insist on putting something i didnt like!
