Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Discord has been one of the easiest ways to keep communication organized, especially when there are a lot of people involved. Instead of having everything mixed into one giant group chat, you can create separate channels for different teams, projects, or topics. That alone makes conversations way easier to follow. What I like most is how flexible it is. If a quick message isn't enough, you can jump into a voice channel, start a video call, or share your screen within seconds. Communication feels a lot more natural compared to constantly scheduling meetings or sending long email threads back and forth.
  • There are several things that I like about this platform, mainly due to the high communication that it has provided for me and my company. The things that I have liked the most have been: 1- With the help of this platform, I have been able to maintain a much more versatile and broad communication within my work team and within my entire company. With the help of this platform, I have been able to create a channel where all my employees can access and communicate with each other. It is important to highlight that I have loved the way in which I can create new chat rooms within this channel. This allows me to divide the work teams. This means that the marketing team and the sales team will be able to communicate separately and thus be able to have an order within the members of each communication channel. I love the way in which I can organize all my employees in different channels. 2- Another feature that I liked is that this platform provides me with unbeatable quality in video and audio transmissions. Each communication channel has the ability for one of the members to transmit the screen of their device, or use their camera. It is important to highlight the excellent quality with which this process is carried out. The video quality is quite noticeable and surpasses any other communication platform. 3- I also liked that this platform has a real-time chat service. In this way, all members of a communication channel can communicate with each other and share all kinds of ideas, information or data. The channel works in real time, each of the messages are reflected in real time, and this helps to maintain constant communication. The chat is also interactive, since it allows you to send any type of stickers, emojis, images, or videos. 4- The way Discord works on mobile devices is also something I should highlight, as this platform provides me with a mobile app, it is quite complete and offers background operation which helps to maintain communication while I perform other tasks on my device.
  • The first thing I like about the Discord platform is that it is a very easy to use platform, you can easily connect with anyone, and you can join any call that is being made in any of the groups created within any of the channels. in which you are joined, you can turn on the camera during that call, you can interact through the various chats that exist within each channel. Another positive thing is that discord allows you to create a custom channel, you can add Bots within each Discord channel, you can customize the sub-channels, you can view a live stream within each Discord channel, also, I love being able to use Discord on background, this way I can use other apps while communicating with different people within Discord. I love the general interface of Discord, it helps a lot that it's comfortable and easy to use, plus there is no limit to the number of channels you can join.
  • Discord is an incredible platform to be able to customize the way you communicate with different people, one of the main positive features that Discord has is that this platform has a long limit when it comes to adding channels, you can join different channels to communicate with different people in the number of channels you join, in addition, there will also be no limits on the number of messages or content that you can share through any communication channel within Discord. Another positive effect that this platform has is that you can completely customize your profile within Discord, this profile can be customized by adding your social networks or primary contact information, in addition, you can also link some third-party applications to the platform so that others can see what are you playing, that you are listening to music or some other activity. Another positive feature that I must highlight about this platform is the video transmission and audio transmission, the Videos transmitted within each communication channel are of a quite good quality, you will be able to configure the transmission quality before starting it, in addition, you will be able to configure each communication channel, you can configure the volume of the audio transmission or the quality in which you want to see a video transmission, it is important to highlight that the video transmission within each channel resources of the device, you can start a transmission from your computer without affecting the performance of your device. Discord also has an excellent notification system, this system allows you to receive alerts every time a new message is shared within a joint communication channel, in addition, it will also send you notifications when you receive a new call request or direct message.
  • Discord offers a solid foundation for chat, video, and voice options. There are also several channel options that are independently able to be managed, allowing for customizable notifications on everything. The web app, mobile app, and desktop app all work well, which is rare!

Cons

  • Notifications can get overwhelming when you're part of multiple active servers. The file upload limits can also be frustrating when trying to share larger documents or media files.
  • I will mention the things that I did not like about Discord: 1- The first thing I did not like is that even though this platform allows you to transfer or upload any type of file within any communication channel, there is a limit on the weight of the file that you can upload to this Chat channel, I am quite negative, as it greatly limits the quality of the images. As well as it greatly limits the maximum weight that you can use for each file or document that you want to share with your colleagues, I would love for this weight limit for each of the files to be much more extensive so that I can transfer or share files with my colleagues in a much higher way. 2- Another thing I didn't like about this platform is that even though you can create specific channels for all types of company sectors, and thus divide the teams, you can't modify the general interface of each of the communication channels previously created for your work team. It would be amazing to be able to modify the general interface of a created channel, so we can modify the interface of the Team Chat, and much more. 3- Even though the screen broadcasts that are made within each communication channel are made through a fairly good video quality, I didn't like the fact that this video quality can't be reduced, since this video quality depends a lot on having a good Internet connection at all times to enjoy a fluidity in this video broadcast. Therefore, if you plan to make a video broadcast on one of the channels you have created, you must make sure that it has a fairly good Internet connection.
  • The first negative aspect is that Discord has a lot of features that were only available using a Nitro version, there are a lot of features like stickers, emojis, you can't share a video with such a high weight within Discord channels, you can't share images that have such a high resolution Discord Nitro. I also don't like that Discord doesn't have any kind of free trial for it, its pricing is completely accessible to all users, but I would love a Discord Nitro free trial to exist.
  • The first negative thing that I managed to perceive about this platform is that it does not have an extensive limit when it comes to sharing images or Videos within the Chat channels, currently you can share images of very low resolution and with a low weight, in addition, You can share it Videos so extensive, since to access these functions and limits so extensive you must subscribe to a Nitro plan within Discord. It is important to highlight that the plans within this platform are not expensive at all, however, it seems to me something quite negative that people have to pay additional money to share some type of image or video, in addition, users will not be able to share stickers either custom emojis or emojis within Chat channels if you don't have a Nitro subscription, it makes communication and diversification between communication channels quite simple.
  • I have noticed when my desktop app is open that the mobile app will not send notifications, so I do sometimes miss items if I've accidentally left it open and walked away from my desk. It's obviously a minor inconvenience though.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • One thing that I like very much about Google Chat is the seamless integration it provides with other Google tools. Also, screen sharing is very easy and the entire UI is to my liking which is very important.
  • What I appreciate about Google Chat is the way I can easily connect with friends easily with just one click is amazing and Google Chat integrates smoothly with other google services like Gmail, Google Drive, Google Meet, Google Calendar and Docs making it easy to collaborate on documents schedule meetings and share files within chats
  • Google Chat is a very essential platform when it comes to strengthening the communication of any company. I really liked the way in which this platform allows me to know the advanced workshop of each of the messages that I send in each Kat channel, in this way This way I can know who has read my message, who has received my message correctly and who has not yet received the message I sent, this system to view the details of each message helps me a lot to know the receptivity of each message. The second feature that I liked about Google Chat is that it allows me to send voice notes in each Chat channel, this is very important since it facilitates communication between all the participants of each Chat channel, in addition, it allows you to send any number of Voice Notes without any type of limit, just like normal messages. The third feature that I liked about Google Chat is that it allows me to create unlimited chat channels, in this way I can integrate each participant of each work team that exists in my company, as there are many work teams, I can create an individual channel for each team. I also liked the file transfer that exists within this platform, since within each Chat channel I can transfer images or share a file as my work team.
  • Google Chat is an application that has allowed communication to be enhanced within my work sector. One of the first things I like about this platform is the great ease and speed with which messages are sent and received within each communication channel, this helps to be able to have an interaction and to be able to speak with any of the members in a fluid way. Another of the things that I like about this platform is that it is fully accessible both on mobile devices and on the computer, to be able to use it on the computer you have to use a web version, and it is important to highlight that this web version works wonderfully, you can answer all kinds of messages, access any communication channel, add a new participant to a channel and many more things, in addition, the version for mobile devices also works wonderfully, it is an application that takes up very little space on the mobile device , but which provides great effectiveness when communicating with your work team. Another thing that I like about this platform is that it has a message delivery function and it also has a function to see how many people have viewed a message that you have sent, these functions are very important since they help you to know how many participants have received the message successfully and it also helps you to know how many people have seen that message at a specific time. I really loved the comfortable experience I got on this platform, I loved being able to send and receive messages with my work team, I loved being able to add new participants to a communication channel, in the way of adding me completely to communicate with the work team.
  • Google Chat is a very beneficial platform for any company, the way in which this platform works helps you to communicate directly with any of your employees, in addition, it also allows you to meet with your work team and start a fairly constant conversation, I believe that this platform is one of the best options to consider when you are looking for a service that helps you optimize the communication of your company's work teams. Next, I will mention the positive things that this platform has. 1.- One of the main positive things about this platform is its ability to send and receive messages so quickly, this platform works in real time, so messages are received immediately, every time. that you send a message to someone or within a work group, all the participants will receive that message immediately, since the platform has fairly fast connectivity with the cloud, capable of processing all the messages in a matter of milliseconds. This feature of the platform helps make messaging within it much more feasible for any company, since it greatly favors constant communication and the sending and receiving of messages in real time. 2.- Another of the positive things that this platform has is that there is no type of limit when it comes to adding participants to each Chat channel. That means that the platform will provide you with a communication service in which you can create various communication channels and integrate various participants and no type of limit, this feature is quite beneficial, since if you have a fairly large work team, which contains many participants, you can easily enter all those participants within this communication channel , since there is no type of limit on participants within each Chat channel. It is important to note that there is no limit to the number of channels you can create within the platform, so you can belong to more than 10 chat channels and communicate in each of them without any problem. 3.- The third thing that I love about this platform is the way in which I can send and receive all kinds of files, as well as I can send and receive images or documents within each communication channel. Chat Channels can be created within this platform not only serve to communicate by text, but can also send various audio notes to make it easier to communicate with your work team, send a voice note within this platform and quite simple, just by leaving the send button pressed, a voice note will automatically be recorded, you just have to release that button to send it correctly, similar to the way you send voice notes in WhatsApp. It is important to highlight that the transfer or sending of all types of files, images or documents within each communication channel is quite fast, you can send all types of images that you want, the images are quickly processed within the platform and they will send to your work group without any type of limit. 4.- The fourth thing that I love about this platform is the free version available to all users. It is important to highlight that this free version helps any company to communicate freely without having to pay anything. However, if you The main objective is to communicate with your work team and have each of the messages that have been sent within each Chat channel stored, you will have to pay a monthly subscription, to obtain storage space in the cloud and that is thus stored in all messages sent within each communication channel. In our company we use a paid version of this platform, to obtain unlimited storage for each of our messages, we consider that having this messaging database of each of the employees helps a lot to maintain the integrity of our work team . 5.- The fifth thing that I loved about this platform is the great accessibility it has, since it works on all types of devices, you can install it on my mobile device regardless of whether it has an iOS or Android operating system, in addition, it can also use it within the web version or download the desktop version, which works for both MacOs and Windows operating systems. It is very important for me to have such a good sensitivity, since it is imprinted on me we use various devices that have different operating systems, with the help of this platform we can download that application and communicate freely no matter what device we are using.

Cons

  • I don't have any major problem or dislike about Google Chat so far
  • What I dislike about Google Chat is their customer service is not responsive.
  • Despite the fact that this platform has a file transfer signal since it is quite fast to upload files and share them with your work team in each Chat channel, this function should be much more optimistic, since currently it only supports a limited weight for each file being transferred, plus there are also limits on the number of files or images you can share simultaneously. The goat transfer is very positive since all the image files are transferred quickly, however, it is very necessary to extend the limit of the weight of each file that is being shared, to achieve file sharing with much more weight. Another of the negative things about this platform that it is currently possible to make a video call with all the participants of a Chat channel, it is currently possible to send and receive messages within the previously created channels, it would be excellent to be able to make a video call with everyone participants with the press of a button, however, this function is not currently available so that I can notify you that I have to use other third-party software. The last negative thing that this platform has is in relation to the general design, it is not possible to change the design that Google Chat uses within the application for mobile devices, this is a disadvantage since I would love to be able to modify the interface to my liking.
  • One of the main negative things that this form photo has is the limit it has when it comes to transferring attachments or images within the communication channels, currently there is a fairly short limit when it comes to transferring attachments, which causes that you can't freely transfer files or images within each communication channel, it really recommends to transfer files or images by other mechanisms, as the limit within each communication channel is very small. The second negative thing that this platform has is regarding the customization of each communication window, currently it is not possible to change the design of any Chat, which sometimes causes users to feel uncomfortable, since they cannot modify the general design of the communication window to your liking, I believe that this platform should provide us with more customization options, so that we modify the general design of the platform, and modify the chat window. The third negative thing that this platform has is that there is no way to automatically delete a Chat database, currently the only way to delete the content that there is about messages in a communication channel is to do it manually, it would be excellent if this platform I had a system to clean up these Chat windows, Since sometimes we store some Chat history that is many days old, and it would be great to be able to delete that information by sending temporary messages, I hope this function has been implemented as soon as possible to that we have a much cleaner communication tray without old messages.
  • Google Chat is a very functional service, the way in which this platform allows you to communicate helps make it beneficial for any company and improves employee interaction. However, in this experience we have also obtained various negative factors about this platform. Next, I will mention the negative things about Google Chat. 1.- One of the main negative things that this platform has is when sending a video within the Chat channels, I have tried on several occasions to send several Videos within each communication channel and I have not had any success, since on the platform does not support video formats, causing you to not be able to send Videos within any Chat channel. In these channels, various images can be sent, as well as specific documents or files can be shared, however, it is very necessary that simply a system to be able to send Videos within each work team communication Chat channel, this would help. to share videos with our work team in a much simpler and more direct way. 2.- Another of the negative things that this platform has is that it is not possible to modify the general interface, it would be incredible to be able to modify the interface or the background that each of the Chat channels used within a company has , as well as it would be amazing to modify it and you are going to go to the platform, so that any user can organize or choose the design they want for their company communication inbox. It is very necessary that the system simply modify the general Interpol of Google Chat, since I consider that it is a platform that has an appointment, with quite basic colors that do not help the user's comfort. 3.- Currently it is not possible to delete any type of message that is sent within the communication channels, obviously you can delete a message just for yourself, however, messages sent erroneously by a work team cannot be deleted, so that none can view it after it has been deleted correctly. It is very necessary that this function is simply to be able to eliminate unwanted messages, messages that for some reason have been sent by mistake.
