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

  • Our team loves Pronto! Its been great to have one place where everyone has contact with each other - which eliminates the need to constantly distribute updated phone number lists, etc. The ability to create specific groups is also convenient for various departments and group discussions that don't need to involve the entire company. My team loves the GIF and emoji's - keeps conversations fun!
  • Super easy to communicate with teams and company wide. There's tons of features which make communication easy whether it’s a meeting or sharing docs.
  • Fantastic sales engagement. We were coming from a place where our sales leaders were trying to broadcast messages widely and still control the interaction (i.e. who can DM who). We had a mixture of sms based systems that did not provide great transparency into who was participating.
  • We love the ease of use, everything is very self-explanatory, no need for training. Also the ability to create many groups, see who has read the messages, share files, etc. All of Pronto is amazing!

Cons

  • The only thing we don't like is that incoming or new employees, can't see announcements that were posted previously. We love the announcements features but wish there was maybe a "bulletin" where permanent announcements can be viewed for all time and eternity by anyone no matter when they join our company.
  • Some of the features like video chat don’t function well when you exceed a certain number of users.
  • They come from an educational background, so we had to show them the sales use cases. They picked it quickly.
  • My ONE complaint is that it doesn’t hide the text of my chats when the notification pops up on my screen. If I am sharing my screen with someone and someone else sends me something sensitive, everyone gets to read that message.
