recent customer feedback:
"Prior to using Gather, our team used to communicate mainly with Slack. If we needed to, we'd then set-up a Google Meet call to discuss things in more detail. The barrier to setting this up each time we wanted to just have a quick chat meant that we ended up just Slacking more. This meant that things that could have been resolved in 2 minutes with a quick conversation, ended up in day-long Slack exchanges.
Also, without the ability to regularly see each other, it was hard to build any kind of culture, understand each other or feel like we knew each other.
We adopted Gather directly as a result of these issues, and it's been a mainstay in our team now for more than 2 years. The main benefits for us were moving to that instant communication style *with video* which is much richer than just texting, where so much information is lost. We each have our own desk and we stay all day in Gather, and now if you need to have a quick chat to someone, vou just walk up to them and start chatting. That cuts through the noise and helps you just straight to the point. By having everyone in our office daily, it helps to ensure everyone is available.
It synchronises nicely with Google Calendar, and you can even define the meeting rooms when setting up meetings.
The way it's been designed is really clever, and it gives you the feeling as if you are sitting in an office next to someone else. We've hosted many hackathon and other events with external people in Gather, and they'll often comment on how cool the environment is.
It's a crucial part of helping us run a successful, fully remote business."
