Pros

“It is considered useful for both small and large companies because while working, it truly helps in increasing productivity along with making your communications faster.”

Jannifer J.

Functional Life Sciences Consultant

“Screen sharing on code reviews is as open as day, and message search allows us to find technical choices from weeks past when debugging client problems.”

Calvin P.

Sales and Solutions Manager

“I would recommend it because using it strengthens the connections between teams, due to which the business moves towards progress.”

Jannifer J.

Functional Life Sciences Consultant

Pros

“Features like creating large groups, sharing documents, and the Web/Desktop version make it an excellent tool for quick team coordination and daily personal check-ins.”

Ravindra S.

Owner

“From a security standpoint, it provides end to end encryption, and features like hidden chats/archiving and disappearing messages help reduce the risk of sensitive content lingering in plain sight (bank details, passwords, etc).”

Connor Q.

Team Lead

“Overall, WhatsApp is my go-to communication tool because almost everyone I know uses it, making it the most reliable way to stay in touch globally. While it has some minor flaws regarding customization and data storage, the consistent updates and high-quality voice and video calls make it an essential app for both my personal life and professional networking.”

Cons

“I think that it can be quite buggy at times with profile pics glitching or not loading messages.”

Mallory S.

Clinical Operations Manager

“Zoho Cliq sometimes freezes in meetings and on the mobile app, this needs to be fixed but it is not a regular occurrence.”

Daniel T.

IT Engineer

“Zoho Cliq's user interface bit difficult, especially with multiple channels and integrations.”

Harsh L.

Developer

Cons

“because WhatsApp heavily compresses shared photos and videos, we cannot use the platform to send high-quality media assets for final technical approval.”

Jessee G.

Director of Media

“Although I understand from a privacy and security perspective that logging into multiple devices can jeopardise that set-up, but once a device has been set as trusted, if I were to lose my phone, being unable to access WhatsApp on my computer is frustrating.”

Maria P.

Accessories Designer

“The community feature is slightly difficult to navigate in Whatsapp. When multiple subgroups are present, the privacy is compromised with your phone number visible to everyone.”
