What do you like best about Trillian?

We absolutely love the administration of Trillian for Business. It is simple, user-friendly and extremely easy to get an organization setup. The features for business are fantastic and have helped shape our internal collaboration! Some of our clients have also signed up to interact with us through the Trillian federation. Anything that allows free users to be utilized is a win! That fact that it supports OSX and Windows is fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trillian?

We wish there were even more features around business such as; chat history search, external integrations and eDiscovery. We would love it to perform more like other products as it pertains to file attachments, team orgs, and SMS / email-to-chat functionality. Video chat and screen sharing would be a great addition as well! We'd love a Chrome extension or support for Chromebooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Trillian:

The founder is still heavily involved in development and product roadmap. This shows in everything that is released. We've had little to no downtime and haven't had an issue working with the product ever. It's a fantastic offering at a reasonable price! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've been able to setup internal collaboration efforts as well as completely replace Skype for business. In addition to internal efforts, we've been able to utilize Trillian for client communications and real-time updates. We're in the process of figuring out how to utilize SMS via Trillian which would allow us to communicate with our field reps in real-time without the need for additional apps or complication.

What do you like best about Trillian?

It's fairly easy to message people once they've been added as a favorite. I also appreciate that there is an app where I can easily access it by phone when I am in transit. Overall all it's just ok. It's very basic. Zero bells and whistles, but it provides a way to communicate that is quicker than email. In that regard it meets expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trillian?

I feel the technology and interface is antequated by comparison to other instant messaging applications. Trillian is not intuitive. I still find it challenging to try and add people to my contacts. And being able to simply acknowledge someone's message with an emoji instead of necessitating a full reply would also be preferable. Overall all it's ok. It's very basic. Zero bells and whistles, but it provides a way to communicate that is quicker than email. In that regard it meets expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I appreciate having a quick and easy way to connect with my coworkers that is faster than email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Trillian?

What we love about trillian is it's availability on multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. This allows us to access our accounts across various devices seamlessly. Our chat histories are always synced no matter what plaform do we access it from and that's some mind blowing consistency. Also we can have personalised themes and chat backgrounds which helps with personal customization, some extra points for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trillian?

None so far. I'm happy with features available in trillian. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For us, it addresses the challenge of managing multiple messaging accounts across different platforms and chat networks by providing a centralized solution. Prior to services like Trillian, we had to juggle multiple messaging applications to stay connected with contacts who used various platforms such as AIM, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, and more. This fragmented approach was inconvenient, time-consuming, and overwhelming for us. So to streamline our communication channels we switched to trillian. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
