Pros

“The live chat helps users instantly ask queries about admissions, fees, results, timetables, and login issues.”
MD

Monika D.

Software Engineer

“It automates FAQs, integrates seamlessly, tracks interactions, and provides detailed analytics for optimized sales.”
EF

Edward F.

Sales Operations Manager

“You can also customize these autoflows to suit your business needs, such as sending messages, updating orders, or setting appointment reminders.”
KS

KRISANPAL S.

Digital Marketing Executive

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

“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.”

Head of IT

“Creating the ENACT channel made it incredibly easy to share environmental activities, course updates, and educational content with over 1,000 students from my Canadian Environmental Issues class at Concordia. Since most students already used WhatsApp, they joined instantly, and the channel became a central hub for monitoring our environmental initiatives.”
AN

Aja N.

Student Leader

Cons

“The email integration doesn't seem to want to work, I set it up as per the instructions but the emails never end up in Tidio although it is showing up in my coporate account.”
WH

Wadhah H.

Founder

“I think the least stuff that I like, maybe is that a little complicate to match information using a website, For example in my website couldn't match the subcategory of products, but”
LR

LUIS R.

Marketing and Branding Coordinator

“I was promised a free upgrade to help promote the product, but after multiple follow-ups, I never received a reply from the partner or support team.”
CJ

Calvin J.

Marketer

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.”
