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

  • Security. Telegram is far more secure than any other messaging app out there. Design. Minimalistic and straightforward, exactly what you want from a messaging app. Price. Most important features are free.
  • - It is a feature-packed messaging application for both pc and smartphones. - Telegram allows the user to create groups with up to 200,000 members. - Bots can be deployed by the group admin to automate tasks within groups. - It has a global search to search anything across the telegram platform. - It is a security-oriented messaging application that allows its users to stay anonymous in groups or from other users on the platform.
  • Due to the spam-free policy of Telegram, it is widely used for purposes such as trafficking and many more. It is not as popular as WhatsApp due to its marketing. Due to its feature of handling a lot of participants at once, It's widely used for its educational channels. Also, it has a huge cloud storage.
  • Well there are many pros of this application like: - You can meet people who will change your perspective about life, future business partner, your new friend, etc. - It provides a very secure chatting process. - You can hide your profile and you can create your own group or super group. - Telegram has more features than other messenger applications. - Telegram can work on several devices at the same time and you can transfer files from one device to another as well.
  • - No Ads and completely free. - End to end encrypted. - Ordinary and secret chats. - Simple and easy interface to use.

Cons

  • Not really popular yet. Many people still use WhatsApp only (mistake).
  • - It is a bit overwhelming to use initially because of the number of features available.
  • Telegram is an Indian app. It's similar to WhatsApp, but you can share large files very easily on telegram. You can make large groups and channels on telegram. It's advantageous to share class notes and other educational purposes. It can keep u updated with daily news as there's a lot of good news channels on it. You can download movies, videos and many more things on telegram.
  • There are a few cons of this application as well: - Telegram is not an easy platform, subscribers can leave your channel or group as quickly as they come because of the vast platform it provides to others as well. - Your Telegram can be flooded with messages most of the time. - Should focus on the appearance of this platform, this is a very bad thing about this application that it does not have an attractive interface which can be a very huge problem for its popularity among people.
  • - No multiple selections. - Can’t easily figure out the opposite person is online or offline. - Pirated contents can be easily shared.
