Cliq is a simple and easy to use team collaboration software😎 It includes all-in-one chat, bots, voice and video for increased business productivity ✌

We don't claim to disrupt the way you work but we are motivated by something far simpler: to make collaboration a bit more humane through task automation through commands, integrations and bots 😬

I tried and it looks like Cliq has copied Slack in some places. Yeah, it's much cheaper than slack, But UX and features of Slack are far ahead. No Threaded replies like Slack No way to edit message after sent No integration to Jira, Bitbucket, Invision No message reminder feature like slack No Syntax highlighting for Code, like Slack I'm sure Zoho will try to catch up. let's see. Don't know if we can see their roadmap or not

@jitendravyas We have implemented most of the stuff you have listed here. Do take Cliq a try now and share us your feedback ✌

Hey @iambii just signed up and can see a lot of similarities between Cliq and Slack (honest confession ...really, really love Slack). What's the REAL differentiator? (I see a bevy of features but a lot of them are offered by Slack too) For starters to you have read receipts? It's something that I found really helpful in Fleep but is still missing in Slack.
Harish Narayanan
Hey @tarubhargav , Let me just quickly list out the features that make us better. Apart from providing all the features provided by #, 1. We offer a comprehensive group video calling solution, called Primetime. It will be available in our Free plan and can hold upto 100 participants. Slack does not offer their group video calling feature in their free plan and can hold only 15 participants. 2. You can create Events (for meetings) right inside Cliq and be notified about it before the session. Our AI assistant ZIA will create a group chat, remind all participants for the meeting, ask people to take notes, and archive the group after the meeting for future reference. 3. One of the main reasons customers buy/use messaging apps is because they work with other apps that they use. Slack's integration platform needs a separate server to host such integrations. Slack even has a webpage on which hosting provider they can buy from. So if you are looking to build an integration, you need investment. If you are looking to buy an integration as a customer, you have to pay for those servers too. With Cliq, all of these hassles are eliminated. The developers can build their integrations right on top of Cliq and without the need for servers, customers don't have to pay extra. 4. Major security features like SAML based Single sign on, Two factor authentication, OAuth with Google, are offered in our free plan (you know, because - SECURITY). Slack users can get some of these only in the premium (Plus) plan. 5. Apart from integrating with other apps, we have taken it a step further to provide a chat bar at the bottom inside other Zoho apps. So you could work using Cliq.zoho.com and have the same data reflect inside the chat tool in Zoho CRM. This makes collaboration even faster.  We are working on the Read Receipts feature and it should be available early Q1 2018. What do you think of the features mentioned above, Taru? https://giphy.com/gifs/valley-fi...

Quite a comprehensive rundown @harish_narayanan. Great list of features. Time to rethink maybe.

Thanks, @tarubhargav this Slack to Cliq migration tool might come in handy for you if you have decided to jump ship 😬 https://www.zoho.com/cliq/slack-...
Ramon
@tarubhargav @iambii Hipchat migration tool should also be on target as they are descaling it in the favour of Stride. So there is a chance of disruption
Jeri John
Of course @mohan_kumar that is something we will consider 🙂

Thanks much for hunting us @sujanpatel! Meow! 😻 Product Hunters, I'm excited to share what we've been working on and get your feedback. Cliq is on a mission to simplify team collaboration. It blends instant messaging with video, audio, and group conferencing to create a unified communications system for organizations of every size.  We also offer an extremely liberal free plan.  We don't claim to disrupt the way you work or make the world a better place via messaging. We are motivated by something far simpler: to make collaboration a bit more humane, one chat at a time. Of course, with a little help from integrations and bots 😬 In addition to its messaging capabilities 💬, Cliq offers, Group video calls 📹 – Cliq’s unique group video calling feature, PrimeTime, removes the chaos of a normal group video call and lets people take turns speaking to other video callers.   Audio and video calls 📞 📹 – Cliq also supports the standard, one-on-one and group calls — both audio and video — which users can start right from their chat window. 💬 AI-driven communications administration – Cliq delegates administrative tasks to an Intelligent Assistant, Zia, so users can create an event. Zia will create the group chat 👥 before the meeting, add all participants, send reminders and archive the group chat. Animated emojis – We are rolling out nearly 100 new, animated emojis – Zomojis – that have been created exclusively for Cliq.  Cliq for Developers -  Cliq can be easily extended. It offers a platform which allows users to create chat bots in Cliq and use them for automating internal processes. https://www.zoho.com/cliq/help/d... I'm sure you read the description and thought "Here is another team collaboration app 😉" but there is more than what meets the eye.👀 That is why we are giving away our 'Unlimited' plan 🆓 for 12 months for the first 250 people who sign up via PH. 💯 Go on, take Cliq for a spin!  We'll be here all day, ask away your questions ;)  PS: Hey, I almost forgot to tell you 🙊 We offer a migration tool if your team is already on # (No prizes for guessing😎 )  https://www.zoho.com/cliq/slack-...
Ambi Moorthy
@nscalice, I'm glad that you are liking what you see, do take Cliq, for a spin and let us know your feedback 😊

Just awesome. I would be very pleased if you would provide whiteboard feature( Team sketching and image annotation ) as it is frequently used by teams. Also some more themes and compact mode will be a very welcome addition.
Harish Narayanan
@mohan_kumar It is actually on top of our priority list. We are working on the Screensharing feature right now and the Whiteboard feature is next. I don't have an ETA right now, but it should be available soon. :)
Ramon
@harish_narayanan Awesome. Zoho is just firing with all its wide range of products. I was just amazed when i went to know that so many of Zoho products have been given editor's choice by Pcmag and they truly deserve it. Meanwhile would you just more clarify the difference between Zoho connect and Zoho cliq with respect to their future roadmap.
Ramon
The best part is its intuitive and eye catching new logo

We're moving off of Slack to this, primarily because it has the same features we use on Slack, but is going to allow us to create some really awesome commands and bots that tie into the rest of our operations on the Zoho platform.

Pros:

Easy to use, price is right, awesome potential

Cons:

Nothing as of now. Regular updates and enhancements will be super awesome

If you're using any of the 34+ Zoho App, incl. CRM, Projects, or Creator, adding Cliq makes so much sense - it incorporates ZApps data access into your chats. Love it.

Cons:

Nothing so far

Elias Rocha
