Shift is awesome at consolidating all these accounts, creating unified calendars, integrating with other apps and making switching between accounts a breeze. It's very intuitive to implement. I looked into replacing Shift at once stage, reviewing a number of different open source or cheaper alternatives, but none came close. Support is always responsive and super helpful. I use Shift on a daily basis. I no longer need to maintain multiple email clients, browsers and other applications. With Shift's integration it makes working a breeze. > > **Cons**: The cost has gone up over the past six years, but in return there is a lot of decent functionality that has been added in return. > > I love Shift and will probably never use any other client\! ----- ### "Great idea, but many bugs" — 3.0/5 > **Joshua** | *24 October 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the idea of Shift and how it keeps the many emails and software products all on one neat page. Almost anything you'd need in your workday can be plugged right into Shift and you don't need to switch back and forth between windows. > > **Cons**: I'm not sure why, but Shift is constantly updating the platform (almost weekly) and each time they do, some kind of problem pops up. It's frustrating to have everything working one day then the next there are bugs that slow you way down. Many times there are multiple extensions with updates that all conflict and leave you very frustrated. > > Overall I really want to love Shift, but the bugs kill our team. If they could make the platform stable this would be a really useful tool. Unfortunately their customer service isn't great and you're on your own when bugs hit. ----- ### "Shift is the best email client I've ever used." — 5.0/5 > **Timothy** | *19 December 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shift seems to be the best stand-alone email client. It can integrate multiple accounts, with incoming messages automatically grouped into as many as four categories. Implementation was simple. I just entered the account access information, and it imported everything. I rely on it at work every day, to handle email quickly and efficiently and without losing track of any. It just works. I've never had to call customer support. I've tried other email clients, but Shift is the most reliable and the only one that works for me. > > **Cons**: Shift had trouble, at times, printing to my PDF editor (PDF-Exchange Editor Plus) but they seem to have fixed it in the latest update. In fact it has now been several months since I had this issue and I use Shift throughout the day, every day. > > Shift is the best email client I've ever used. It was easy to set up, with no loss of conversations from the email client I used before. It's safe, simple, it groups my incoming emails, from six different accounts, into groups that I can work with and focus on the task at hand without having to be distracted by emails outside of that area of focus. ----- ### "Love your Product, Except" — 5.0/5 > **Christopher** | *15 October 2019* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, simple. I love having all my social media sites, emails, Cloud Locations in one place. The add-ons for all the tabs really helps. I like that I do not have to have all my browser windows open. > > **Cons**: At the start before the update in July 2019, MS Teams worked really well. NOW, it does not work and locks up the application completely, to the point that I have no choice but to remove it from my shift. The lack of 64 Client is also an issue, I am sure with an i9 CPU processor the use of more than a 32-bit application has its limitations. But, I wish it would use more of the active CPU usage so that I can utilize this. > > I do not need to have multiple applications open to find out what is going on, Social Media, Email, internal SLACK, School applications, webhooks, git hub all in one location means that I have only a single ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/435887/shift?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/435887/shift) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
