Pros

“It’s a reliable tool that brings all customer communication into one place, which makes daily tasks much easier. While there’s a bit of a learning curve and the interface can feel busy at times, once you get used to it, it really helps streamline support and improve response times.”

“True Omnichannel Ticket Management: It features a highly reliable universal inbox that neatly converts emails, live chats, phone calls.”

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.”
RS

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

“Several other things don't work well - it loses the connection very easily, sometimes causing a complete loss of what you were doing, and merging tickets is a pain compared to Freshdesk, where all you had to do was click on the tickets you wanted to merge and selecting "merge."”
AF

Alex F.

President

“It's a bit buggy, and some things are just plain stupid - eg, you can only have one window open at a time, which makes using 2 screens to compare notes from one ticket to another impossible, for instance.”
AF

President

“The mobile app is significantly limited compared to the main app, which makes managing conversations on the go less effective.”
SL

Sebastian L.

Administrator

Cons

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

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.”

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.”
