About

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn’t rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users’ devices. If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance. Briar uses the Tor network to prevent eavesdroppers from learning which users are talking to each other. Each user’s contact list is encrypted and stored on her own device. All communication between devices is encrypted end-to-end, protecting the content from eavesdropping or tampering.

About

AWS Wickr is a secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging platform designed for enterprises and government agencies to facilitate confidential communication.

AWS Wickr ensures messages are encrypted at rest and in transit, with content expiration and ephemeral messaging features to reduce data retention risks. The platform allows for seamless collaboration while maintaining strict security, privacy, and regulatory standards. It is widely used in industries requiring high levels of confidentiality, such as defense, healthcare, and financial services.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Encryption policy and offgrid compatibility are the things I like most. Although this one isn't that much popular I think it is better than signal or any other high ranked applications.

Cons

  • I didn't get any such things that should be considered as cons. But this application should be more user friendly and UI should be more attractive and easy. Calling support should be added.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Super secured app with end-to-end encryption, that even Wickr can't see my data. Because of the security, illegal folks started to abuse it. Now Amazon has put curb on the abuse and promoting as an enterprise grade product with AWS Support.
  • Wickr is an excellent way to get end to end encryption for communicating safely with business associates without worry of your conversations getting intercepted.
  • It's the best internal (inbound) communication tool for SMBs to collaboratively work and communicate using the unified software. The feature I'm using the most is its file transfer and video call. It helped me to stay connected while working remotely.
  • Wickr makes team communication more professional than other tools we tried. It helped every employee to stay on the same page for team collaboration. The file transfer, screen share and instant messaging works great.
  • Wickr application offers multi-platform support. It allows us to communicate and share files with project teams. The video calling quality is clean and works great on bad connections. Instant messaging and voice calling option.

Cons

  • Few integrations - I guess it will grow, now Amazon owns it.
  • Linking with associates can be cumbersome and retrieving past conversations is purposely impossible.
  • Quality of video conferencing is slightly on the lower side
  • Nothing so far we enjoyed Wickr software features.
  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.
