Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Pricing: based on our inquiries and after comparing with the closest competitors, the price was on average 30% lower for the same or better set of options. Communication: at every stage, from the presale to the solution of everyday problems, there is always a person who can listen to your question, knows how to help you, what to suggest or find someone who can. Design: from the point of view of the code, a very modern project that uses the latest trends in development, does not stop developing and improving. from the point of view of design, everything is made as native and understandable for users as possible. Security: not one of the few solutions that offers a really high-quality level of security that does not burden users and the system, and does not reduce the functionality of the product itself. Features: the system is very amenable to customization and scaling, supports all the platforms we need, and also integrates with all corporate services. Even if a certain tool does not have enough functionality for you, it can be added through a feature request. Ease: at the beginning of operating the product, you need to understand the basic logic of the architecture and the principles of operation, but after some time you will feel very comfortable in administration and management. Customization: one of the developers said that you can customize anything, but it turned out that it is really so. And that's cool!
  • Its instant messaging service works flawlessly with hundreds of onboarded co-workers. File or document sharing is very useful. You can share reports and tasks from the same screen. It's available on cross-platform which makes it very practical for team communication.
  • Element platform is reliable and easy to use. The UI design is intuitive. Secure and encrypted messaging. Works on any IOS and web platforms. Helps to boost team collaboration in small businesses. Cost-effective enterprise plans.
  • - simple, intuitive interface - strict security - Web client, Android client available - Active community
  • #1- The Riot.im is available on cross-platform. #2- Secure and great privacy features to start instant communications. #3- One centralized platform to communicate with the inbound team.

Cons

  • Due to the high speed of project development, sometimes the documentation does not have time to be updated, which can sometimes be misleading. However, this is easily remedied by communicating with the development team. In the same reason you can sometimes collide with small bugs, usually the fix is ready within a week.
  • Its user interface makes difficult in its usability.
  • The large file share is not possible on the Element tool.
  • - strict security (if one forgets password, past secure postings are lost) - not as widely known as WA or FBmgr
  • #1- We had an overall positive experience with it.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I was pretty impressed with all that Lark has to offer. It has a great interface that's easily navigable. The chat interface is pretty cool , with features to reply to chosen messages, and also allows you to 'tick off' conversations that are over. It also has a built-in document sharer to share all sorts of files with your group, complete with comments and private drives. The video calling facility works great even on slow networks. Custom emoji reactions to chats are another feature I love.
  • Lark available on cross-platform. It gives you the best group communication experience. You can do chat, video conferencing, share docs and drive access. From a single platform.

Cons

  • I haven't had any major cons for Lark. But the chat interface on video conferences is pretty small, which makes it difficult to navigate through the messages.
  • I'm pretty impressed with Lark app platform. No cons.
