What do you like best about Wire?

Easy to use - both for internal collaboration with co-workers, and interacting with external clients. Good for sending texts, files, making phone calls and video chatting. The high level of encryption allows me to discuss client projects (especially in which I have a CDA/NDA in place) with confidence! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wire?

The home screen could use a little more content in the layout design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wire?

Protected by Swiss Law & Sovereignty. Infrastructure is securely located in Switzerland, outside the clutches of US G-men armed with the power to perform warrantless wiretapping under the auspices of protecting the general public from boogeymen (US Patriot Act). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wire?

Nothing really to complain about so far. I have not encountered any UX issues, bugs or alarming problems related to the use of the app on Android or Ubuntu desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wire:

Don't allow yourself to hesitate installing this app based on the ratings and reviews, especially on iOS (App Store). I've noticed that there are some intentional propaganda posts intended to hurt the app's score and lead gullible non-technical users into passing over WIRE for another app with 4-5 stars.

WIRE's technical capabilities are unmatched and pose the greatest impediment to the 13-Eyes Listening network and warrantless wiretapping. Therefore would it not make sense that they would inundate WIRE with shady reviews of no real substance? Of course they would, this is SOP for the CIA, NSA, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've solved issues related to erosion of privacy due to the draconian powers granted by the US Patriot Act. Wire offers peace of mind and the technical agility to safeguard my private and commercial communications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wire?

Wire has always been "live." No down time. Exceptional control allotted to admin. Peerless security. Super fast messaging. Specific information delivery to specific people and specific groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wire?

Kinda wish on-boarding of new clients was more streamlined. I would do backflips if you added a screen-sharing feature and the ability to annotate on the opposing screen. If I could do that, I would dump join me and use Wire exclusively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wire:

Keep your communications backed up on an encrypted usb drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sometimes, when the audio during voip sessions (join me dot com) is compromised, I switch to our Wire phone connection and the clarity is perfect. In essence, I gives me the freedom to reroute my conversation and ditch the tap. That one feature alone is priceless. The Groups feature has allowed me to funnel proprietary information directly to specific audiences. The ability to attach documents and pictures is faster and safer than email.

Wire offers a modernized and updated suite in my opinion makes it much more attractive which makes us more pleased to different from other services.

Wire has in the same panel messaging, audio, videos, videoconferences and exchange of files and images while maintaining extreme security, but we are much more committed to using this system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is good and that is why I recommend it, I appreciate that a system offers an application for both web and mobile is so perfect, providing happiness and union within the organization and outside it due to the security it implements gives us much more peace of mind, It's like a social network but much more professional and well updated.

It is very easy to use specifically within the company to completely eliminate corporate emails, it is amazing to recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Previously we had a serious problem within the company communications were very slow which forced

to receive very slow responses, in turn greatly affected the order of the company, Due to these specific problems, we say change the communication of corporate emails and give way to a different system, we find wire system that suddenly changed the company so favorable giving much more stability within the company.

What do you like best about Wire?

This tool organizes and organizes all notes and plans in a single list and keeps this information in place. Asana service will make your life easier. With the help of Asana, you don't have to search for all your notes, emails and records to manage your projects. There is no need to go back and forth with emails and chat, because in Asana you can do all the communication to keep everything in one place, so you won't forget the details that can happen when you communicate across multiple platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wire?

If I summarize the shortcomings; It is better to have a kind of task indication with sub-tasks under the main tasks when determining the project, without having to click. It is indispensable because the time tracking feature needs to be done. The Android app has not been very focused on and needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wire:

It is a really successful platform to follow the progress of the projects we are realizing. Everyone on the team is informed via email, helping everyone know what's going on, and always keeping team members informed of the progress of their project. In addition, there are many integrations that help monitor work and make things efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
