## Reviews

### "Something that was good ages ago but couldn't catch up\!\!" — 2.0/5

> **Sajal** | *14 March 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Well, I am talking of pre-slack and pre-pumble days when we were looking for an intra-office communication setup and this is the best that we could find.
> 
> **Cons**: Very very limited functionality that is there in this.
> 
> It has really limited functionality and honestly, we were feeling tied up for long. With so many other products in the market now, I guess it's time for us to move on and we have moved on with Pumble.
