A Squid Collaboration Hub for Teams

Ok, so my first impression prior to testing out this new platform was it is like the other Project Management Tools out there. Well here's the thing, I was totally wrong!! It does not look and feel like a PM tool but for me it is a collaboration hub, like a Viber group on steroids! Yes we use Viber groups in our country 🇵🇭 because it is tied up to our mobile numbers and most would have access to mobile data and have a smartphone.

Redemption is confusing. Just take a look and you'll see what I mean 😕

Then I'm "forced" to watch a video, which honestly I skipped 🙈

Then a demo group and project is created based on the chosen 1st group

You can remove Squidee the chatbot too!

Then I don't understand why I need to upgrade when I see organization??

Then I try Squidhub on my iOS device. I honestly enjoy Jumppl and their mobile app more.

I made it 4 stars because they have a generous amount of UNLIMITED storage though potentially this could be a problem for the company (Squidhub). Also I agree with their Simplicity Manifesto (https://medium.com/@SquidHub/a-simplicity-manifesto-399b89be5e5a)

I have yet to try the video calls options and if its better than Google Hangouts or what not. Recently my vectera fails when someone on the call has a poor connection.

My verdict? Worth checking out for one code for 5 team members or get your whole team on the Squid!

Cheers!

Hi Mike,

Thanks a lot for leaving a 4 taco review. Much appreciated!

Would be happy to hear how you think the redemption could be less confusing.
We thought that it would be quite straightforward to go to squidhub.com/appsumo, add an email address and the code to create a user account. And just repeat these steps for other users that you'd like to upgrade. Apparently, we now understand that that's not too obvious, so any input/feedback would be happily received :)

The onboarding video should indeed be possible to Skip ;) Seems like the "Skip" button has gone hiding under "Help" option. We'll provide an update to this shortly.

A demo group is create :) Well yes... this is in order to avoid starting from a blank canvas, so you can get a feel of how the application would work when there's content inside the group. And yes... it does include a SquidBot. The SquidBot will automatically leave once the second member joins the group. Since this first group is simply a demo group, you can also just decide to leave it (from the group settings) - and start creating a new group. Simply treat it as a quick "Welcome" to SquidHub so you can see how things work :)

Good point regarding "why do I need to upgrade". You of course shouldn't. If you refresh the browser after creating your account, you should see all Premium features activated. We are working on an update to make the application refresh, to avoid any confusion as to whether the account has been upgraded or not.

Once again, thanks for 4 taco review and your honesty.

Cheers,
Andreas
