All of my work colleagues are on Wire and we are able to communicate with each other while we are in the office and while we are at home. This software makes working from home very effortless because you can remain in constant contact with your coworkers. You can also turn off notifications from the app if you choose to install the software app on to your phone. > > **Cons**: Sometimes I would like to share files on Wire that are too big. Since some of my coworkers work in the podcasting arena, they have found that sometimes when they try to share their files through wire it is just too big to send, but this has been an issue for us on many softwares. > > Excellent experience and it is well worth the download. It is encrypted and certainly better than Slack. ----- ### "easy, safe, up to my expectations" — 5.0/5 > **francois** | *19 May 2020* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: conference mode safety and confidentiality technical support fluidity of the conversation, we can hear different collaborators speaking in the same time but without having the feeling of saturation. easy management of screen-sharing and easy way to send a document or a link > > **Cons**: I was unable to figure out how much it will cost me to use Wire, once I finish the trial period. > > It is the tool we needed to support the re-opening of a school with the medical-civil security team. This plus an online pad we shered and work on together in the same time. I use a private free address with my daughter and try to rally them to wire in order to quite wats'crap, facebeurk and those climate warming / data gathering / manipulating software. I started using Signal some years back and heard of Wire a bit more than two years ago from someone who was ambassador for a south American country. ----- ### "wire @need some changes" — 3.0/5 > **kshama** | *16 April 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: message delivery . and end-to-end delivery feature . design and view . searching function. > > **Cons**: 1\> screen sharing feature - must be included for all screen not for only one 2\> when used wire for call - sometime is not good for conversation. 3\>not good for multiple people at a same time calling. 4\>problem of echoing sometime. 5\>include a feature for message is delivered and received check. > > Overall it's good , but few things needed to improve for -people give more priority to wire rather then switching to other apps. ----- ### "Wire - secure messaging platform as well as audio/video comms is finally here\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 September 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: First and most of all, Wire is all about security. Full E2E encryption for all the services it provides - messaging, voice, video. There are no compromises here and if security is a top priority, you don't have to look further. As far as I know, they are already doing some post-quantum cryptography experimenting, which is really impressive. Did I mention they are 100% Open Source? Did I say the voice quality is absolutely fantastic? > > **Cons**: Not a lot of things I can say I don't like - basically for private usage the only issue is adoption, as the competition is very hard (not that I find any of the competitors good) and most people base the adoption on the number of people already on the platform. For business usage, I would say that it has everything that most people would want - yeah, including gifs, but it's always hard to adopt a new tool/software for the team, especially a communication platform. > > As an early Wire (personal) adopter and a vocal supporter (I want to say Ambassador), I may be a bit biased. Still, I strongly believe everyone deserves a fully secure communication platform and there must be no compromise on that - Wire proves it's possible. I have successfully converted more than a couple dozens users to Wire - and we never looked back. ----- ### "Use for sharing the screen with end to end encryption." — 4.0/5 > **Justin** | *20 August 2020* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Wire is the best application to communicate online with clients for sharing ideas and thoughts on business promotions. So, this software provides the best platform to collaborate with clients through live streaming and video conferences. An easy hand on all business details and provoking new ideas for promoting business opportunities. Nothing is difficult in understanding as this application is very easy and simple to share the business ventures. Then, all you need to do is just put this software for your business meetings and have unlimited benefits. > > **Cons**: This software helps in understating the business promotions with unique ideas but, all that comes with good quality internet. If your networking is not good then, you can enjoy its offers and packages because during live streaming it can cause hindrance to your live conversations. > > Wire is an unlimited package of benefits because we are using this application for many years and it has been proven a good package for all our needs. This application is an excellent video conference tool to communicate with clients and its mobile app offers 24-hours service to allocate the business detail on hand. Everything is quite easy and superb with this amazing application by making video conferences to overseas clients and sharing the ideas on every business promotion.
