Really useful, really easy

  • November 08, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that it integrates with my work!. The plug in helps throughout using the browser, And the download works well with my Mac so writer is with me no matter where I am typing.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I use the blog writer to build a blog post it uses a lot of language that it subsequently flags as not fitting my prescribed writing rules. It would be nice if the content the AI spits out also matches the pre set rules and parameters for writer so there is less editing needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I subscribed primarily because of the Magic link tool so it helps me link new content with previous content on our site or products on the site in a pretty quick, seamless way. That was worth paying for and the additional normal features became ingrained into my daily tasks.

Best Features

What do you like best about the product?
I was working in Writer before ChatGPT became available, and I'm still working in Writer. The "write more" feature is one of my favorites, as are the templates - they make things so easy. I have used many other genAI tools, and I still come back to Writer. I love the recaps builder. For daily use - I use it constantly while writing - built into all of my apps. There's nothing out there that compares to Writer at the enterprise level - being able to train it on your data and have style guides at the ready - can't touch that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I'm not getting the best results in the "ask writer" area - I test prompts across three or four different GenAI tools, and Writer doesn't always come out on top.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Writer a lot for developing learning scenarios, associated learning outcomes, and context statements. Recently, I've been working on scenario-based learning content and I've used Writer to help me build out the scenarios. It's like having someone workshop your work for you while you're working on it.

None. Save speed and uptime are fantastic even against the spotiest WiFi or data connection.

    Computer Software

Helps my team stay consistent and polished

  • May 30, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Qordoba helps my team quickly get content publication-ready. It's very customizable and useful beyond basic grammar and spelling checks. We're able to use it to ensure punctuation/formatting consistency, naming consistency (we use a lot of proprietary terminology that can be tricky to get right) , PII compliance, to check for readability, etc.

The extensions are great - they seem to work well across all the websites/tools I normally use.

The team has also been really responsive and receptive to feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
No major complaints so far. It would have been nice to have a longer trial period, as I wanted several colleagues to have chance to dig in and get their own style guides set up.

At some point, I'd love to see a Firefox extension, but the Chrome and Google Docs ones work just fine for me right now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Qordoba helps me focus on my writing, rather than thinking about punctuation and how to capitalize a specific term. Overall, I think it's helped improve quality of my content as well, since it checks for passive voice and wordy phrasing.

Powerful part of our content strategy

  • May 22, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Qordoba is not a generic style guide. On top of standard spelling, grammar and usage checks, Qordoba lets us add the custom rules of our brands' particular style decisions, word choices, inclusivity guidance, etc. to fit our customer experience. And with ML it gets even more valuable over time.

It's flexible and scalable. You can use while writing anything in Google or go deep and integrate it with GitHub to check product UI text strings. It has an extended ecosystem of plug-ins into design apps and content translation. It's useful for our non-writers and expert pro's alike.

The support from Qordoba is super responsive. They act on suggestions and requests like partners who are invested in our success.
What do you dislike about the product?
Qordoba does rely to on machine learning for some features. A strength in my view because it does allow that customization. As with any ML feature, you have some ramp up time teaching it what to do and what not do. This isn't at all particular to Qordoba, just something to prep the teams for. Qordoba made it easy for us to train, though, with options in the interface that's familiar, like traditional language checkers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Qordoba is a key to our content strategy. Much more than a writing assistant (But you can use it as a small, lightweight tool if you prefer). We're using the language checkers to improve the quality, consistency and readability of content created across a lot siloed teams.

We're also integrating it into our product development process to empower our content designers to own and deliver UI content. So often we had developers write content on the fly and misspell our product name (among other things!). Or we had outdated content that would require engineering to update, taking forever. Qordoba solves it with a single, easy-to-use interface onto our Git repos. It gives our content designers what they need to do their work, and quickly publish improvements in the product experience. As a content strategist, I've waited a long time for a product like this!

Secure grammar check

What do you like best about the product?
I made the switch from Grammarly to Qordoba because of the customization feature. I can even use it at work because it is HIPAA compliant. Excellent tool for checking spelling, grammar errors, and terminology management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is a bit higher than the competition, but worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping me write professional emails at work.

Excellent Tool for Creating Style Guides

  • May 21, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I think my favorite thing is that the sections for the various elements of style are so clear and precise. They are thought-provoking, in that you don't always consider the relevance of where a comma is used or the capitalization of a word - until it becomes an issue. So helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
Having the style guide in the program itself can make it hard to access when needed. But that also means it's available to everyone from anywhere, so with remote workers, that can be really beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really helped me with sorting through tone and style for my own purposes, as well as for my company. My company didn't have a style guide before I arrived, so this app has been really helpful for clarifying the points I want to make. And their webinars are fantastic!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look around the site, check out the supporting features. It's not just the product, but the people behind the product that make it so helpful.
