"Excellent Work Chat Room"
What do you like best about Wire?

I like the ease of use and the ability to reach my work colleagues outside of work. Everyone is very busy and it is helpful that Wire has an encrypted app that you can also have on your phone to reach your work colleagues. You have the ability to turn on and off notifications. It is a better alternative to slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wire?

I have no complaints about Wire. It is very reliable and easy to use. We have never had any issues with the service being down or not working. I would like more options of using emojis and gifs on Wire, but that comes with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great app!"

"Good quality of conference calls, UX leaves much to be desired"
What do you like best about Wire?

I find Wire to offer conference calls of high quality - no lags or interruptions. Pricing is great if you're willing to compromise the confusing UI/UX, and you can try it free for 30 days (no credit card required).. It's good that you can back up conversations. You can create additional services like chatbox but that requires coding skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wire?

The desktop app for macOS, however, is more confusing than necessary. I would prefer a platform that is much more user-friendly and intuitive (for example, I am still unclear on why there should be both groups and guest rooms). Privacy settings are limited.
