(Original )Information
What do you like best about Signal?

Signal works the way you would expect it to work. It allows you to send text and pictures, but it also treats links the way you would want it to. It allows you to create an ad hoc group of people to collaborate on a topic. It does all of this with end-to-end encryption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

For security reasons, all messages do not download to all devices. That makes perfect sense, but it sometimes means I need to go to a different device to see a certain historical message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

Download it. It is free, and it is a better product, if you need secure communications, than the built-in messaging apps or SMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Signal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am communicating with my security team about items which do not need to be exposed to the public. I am using a computer, a tablet, and a phone, interchangeably, to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
