Lark

Pros

I was training a global team remotely and Lark was a big part of the reason, it went so smoothly. The screen-share feature of Lark is exceptional. I could share my screen as needed and unlike other softwares where the display quality would become hazy or frozen when the screen is shared, display on Lark remained crystal clear.

Cons

Every time I log out and try to log back in, it sends a 6 digit passcode to my e-mail. It takes a lot of time to check my e-mail and put the passcode in Lark to log in. Also Lark automatically logs me out every 15 days and then I have to wait for the 6 digit passcode again. I wish Lark could find a way to remember me on my PC and not ask for a 6digit passcode every time I get logged out.

Pros

1. I like that Lark gives me all the tools I need in one place, reducing my need on other apps.
2. Lark's mobile application is very powerful, giving my team and I the same experience on mobile as we get on desktop
3. Lark is really easy to use and set up. Creating groups are a breeze and with things like searchable chat history, rich media support and one click video calls straight from chat make communicating easy.
4. For what Lark offers, the fact that is free is amazing!

Cons

1. Sometimes the features on offer can be a bit overwhelming with a lot to navigate, especially for teams looking at very specific use cases.
2. As a relatively new product, there are sometimes bugs that might pop up but in my experience, it does not take long for tech support to patch these issues
3. video conferencing can sometimes be a bit laggy, especially when sharing screen or using the impressive "Magicshare" feature.

Pros

nothing, I signed up on the website using google sign up, then I had to download the app, then I tried to sign in using google and it asked me for the password, why would you use google sign in if you ask for a password.

Cons

you can't access the app, and you can-t contact support, only an AI bot. To "contact us" you have to go to the app, but you can't access the app.

Pros

Lark meetings, docs, calendar are all perfect for my use cases.

Cons

Nothing, I love all the features on Lark. SUPER Helpful!

Pros

the free tier is really good already and let you use it up to 50 users. It is a really complete suite of softwares and also customizable

Cons

the onboarding sometimes is a bit complicated in particular the account creation and if you want to use Lark as webmail

Reasons for Switching to Lark

Pros

It's an all-in-one app! You can communicate to your team directly through different mediums (chats, emails, and video conferencing). It has a team calendar, and it also allows you to create and send surveys to your team. We've been using the app for more than a year now, and I have to say it has improved its features and added new ones along the way. It's a great replacement for Skype or Zoom. Virtual backgrounds (on video calls) work better too.

Cons

You'd have to get used to using the app since it's fairly new, but after a while, it gets intuitive.

Pros

This tool is on of the best for organizational communications if we compare others similar tools like skype Business, MS Teams, GoogleMeet, and Basecamp its.Non of these are in the race of Lark. its always one step ahead.

Cons

Not every company in same industry are using , so sometimes get limitation for external communications.

Reasons for Switching to Lark

Pros

Aside from fairly large capacity video conferencing, the calendar and event notification was the feature I like the most. The user interface is simple without being boring.

Cons

The mobile version was hard for some employees.

Pros

it is easy to use and very effective for team conversation and privacy.

Cons

none so far since it is very useful for me so far . no issues encounter.

Pros

Lark is an excellent business communication and collaboration application that offers a wide range of features to help teams work together more efficiently. What I like most about it is that in addition to enabling real-time communication, it allows users to create to-do lists, assign tasks to team members, and track task progress. Lark also allows users to share files of up to 2GB and documents with other people on the team.

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about the program as it has always perfectly met my needs and the needs of the entire team.

Pros

i can say that the best thing in lark is screen sharing and video conference

Cons

i like only when we have video conference or meeting or if i want to share my screen for my presentation or project looks better

Pros

The chat is the best one I ever used. File sharing and mentioning is excellent for Team working

Cons

The limited add-ons or the Chinese support language

Pros

I like that Lark integrates multiple tools all into one. Lark integrates chat, video conferencing, file sharing, and even expense reporting all into one tool. This is useful and saves time.

Cons

What I liked least are the security concerns which prevented me from putting this on my personal mobile device, and the cumbersome nature of file sharing where permissions issues slowed down the pace of work.

Pros

We ended up with LarkSuite after having tried a number of alternatives. For a small business like us Lark keeps us running. We use Lark to keep documents up to date in the cloud. We had no issues deploying Lark and implement the suite across regions where we have personnel with access to data files.

Cons

Not much to complain about, a larger operation may have issues, but nothing negative on our side.

Pros

Security the safe sharing of documents, messages in groups and individuals.
It is super easy to use, friendly, excellent to integrate into day-to-day processes regardless of the line of business.

Cons

The tool is quite friendly in its use, it can be translated into Spanish if you do not have knowledge of the English language. It was not difficult to integrate them with my processes.

Pros

I work in a startup company that has decided to have a work from home setup. Lark offers all we need.
especially communciating with different teams/ departments.

google calendar can be integrated, and if you have your phone with you and lark installed on it, life is like haven.

conferences and meetins are a breeze, especially with screen sharing

Cons

chat box needs some improvement it needs to be always opened and might as well position it better :p

Pros

1. The file sharing is a seamless experience across the organization
2. The collaborative tools is great since you can add multiple team members in one document and assign tasks accordingly
3. The Lark video is again impressive as it allows you to give access to your team members laptop if needed and also share files within the call
4. It is compatible both on mobile and on laptop ( without downloading any additional software)

Cons

- the internet bandwidth needs to be good while using this app ( it would have been great if the internet reliability is improved)

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Video calls were easy to use and you can have a lot of people in one call. I can use the calendar to launch calls and Lark adjusts the time-zones automatically which which makes it easier when dealing with global clients. The interface is simple which is just the way I like things. The main screen combines group chats, calendar assistant, and private messages so there is no need to do a lot of toggling or have a bunch of different tabs open. Internal vs. External teams is also a neat feature I haven't seen with other software.

Cons

As with any new software, it takes some time to get familiar to everything but after a while it becomes intuitive.

Pros

It is easy to share, communicate and manage tasks. And all these functions become critical when you are working in a team. You can organize teams in groups and choose to have different archives for each group.

Cons

There is nothing I would like to suggest for improvements. My experience it's absolutely positive. Nothing bad to say.

Pros

Definitely, what I liked most about Lark were the different functions it offers for working in a team. This greatly facilitates the coordination and communication of team members and directly impacts team performance.

Cons

The only thing that I can disagree with is regarding the user interface, it is not completely polished so that it is easy to understand for a user who opens the platform for the first time.

Pros

Easy to use and goes beyond just being a team communication tool where there are options to set up sheets/documents to share with other team members and collaborate.

Cons

Nil. Overall is good. Have not experienced any technical difficulties or issues.

Pros

Lark is a very easy platform to use both on mobile and desktop. That was the biggest issue where my team would use Excel sheets and I can't edit it that well on my Iphone. It was frustrating that I would have to wait till I was home to get back on my laptop and edit from there. You can do everything on Lark - video chat, IM, docs, sheets, calendar invites, and I heard email is coming on the way. It's made my day so much easier and my team's day as well. Such a simple idea of having everything on one app, but such a powerful platform. Excited for the upcoming features and seeing Lark grow!

Cons

Because it was still new (came out March 2019), I couldn't find much about Lark. But once I demo'd with their team and saw the platform and tried it out, I knew this was IT for my team, especially because we are all remote and in different states.

Pros

I really like how each component works great with the rest of the software from docs, messenger to meetings and calendar.
Enterprise-level-Administration given for for small teams.
Connectors and automations that make everything goes smoothly

Cons

If your work is storage-sensitive you may run out of the 200GB cloud storage

Pros

Lark has everything I need in a collaboration platform. It has an excellent UI, easily understandable for beginners. Sharing documents and files among your team members and changing access settings are a breeze. Emojis and the ability to react to individual messages make group conversations a delightful experience. I also like that you can simply 'tick' a conversation that's over so your inbox doesn't seem crowded. The video conferencing works surprisingly well on low networks too. Most of all, it doesn't have a lot of hassle with signing up, and it is free!

Cons

My only slight problem was that while video conferencing, the chat interface is very small and difficult to navigate. Otherwise, I'm pretty much satisfied with everything else.

Pros

With all the context switching I have on a day to day basis, it can be hard to stick to my priorities and stay organized. Lark complements my workflow by centralizing conversations and information so I can focus on what really matters. This is a refreshing new paradigm to work and communication.

Cons

Some of the bots were a bit confusing to use.

Pros

I really like using LARK Doc for its commenting capabilities.

Video conferencing is easy to set up, and the A/V quality is stellar.

Cons

We had very minor formatting issues, but not big enough to take away the joy of enjoying the functionalities of the 'all in one' application.

Pros

Lark has all the features that we need in 1 app. The attendance app is really useful to manage the team. We can monitor staff attendance even from home. Also, the video conference is really good to have a meeting with teams

Cons

need to have a good internet bandwidth to have a stable video conference, but I don't think its a big deal since they have a lot of awesome features

Pros

File sharing, Making Presentation and Docs

Cons

Audio and video chat got dropped Repeatedly

Pros

Easy navigation, will benefit all ages, combines important features i.e calendar/meetings/documents under one platform

Cons

Side bar, if the contacts, chat, calendars can be swapped according to user preference

Pros

the team collab features are wonderful to keep everyone on their toes working from home, easy to navigate easy to chat id recommend this for team collab

Cons

difficult to set up lark meetings everything is everywhere the UX design could be simplified

Pros

senza limite di tempo e facilità di uso.

Cons

funziona SOLO i recenti pc o smartphone aggiornati (windows e imac) quindi sono discriminati.
mancano opzione sottotitoli per chi ha probemi di udito (in altre app, li hanno)
