What do you like best about Signal?

This messaging app has the feel of a normal messenger but with the security of an end-to-end encrypted platform. Also makes it easy to find people in your contacts to add to the service via an invitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

The adoption rate compared to the major messenger apps still needs some time to catch up, but it seems that month by month the user base is growing. I plan on giving it another try in a month or two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Signal allows secure business communications where even proprietary files can be shared between staff safely and securely. This alone makes it worth the download at the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

Supposed to be not monitored, so your messages are kept away from prying eyes. I also like the option to message to yourself so that you can remind yourself of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

The only downside I found so far was there is no 32bit desktop version. Oh, there is no way of "starring" messages like Whatsapp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I haven't found any business use for Signal, but they seem to be coming up with new features like My Stories, and setting up a new group. I'm sure one day they will have an original feature that Whatsapp does not have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

The best thing for this application never face any glitch or server down problem. Very easy to use and connect outside a team. By login by the PIN, it is totally secure and confidential to access. We can hide the chat as well for some business purpose. Never creates any problem or network issue within a call or in a meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

Sometimes the updates are frequently coming so sometimes some important updates may be missed.By checking manually then updates the application. And other thing whenever a new contacts created in our list, it shows the message that '@bc is on signal' . I would suggest instead of message it shows as a notification it would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sometimes the WhatsApp/MS teams server is down (last month this problem coming frequent)or may be some problem to connect with the team. We can use the Signal application without any server facing issue and make a meeting with the client as well. Because no other applications is exist like this easy to use, confidential the chats as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

I was facing several security issues with my previous vendor, which is why I switched to Signal. It's fast and offers amazing encryption. Also, the note-to-self feature comes really handy when you want to remind yourself of something. Also, the payment feature seems to be good but haven't used it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

Nah, probably nothing I could find that I dislike about signal. It's going in the right direction.

Although some of my contacts don't use signal but all my clients do so no issues at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communicating with clients who already use Signal and prefer the same mode of communication. Also, I can ensure data security for my company which is also an amazing benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
