I love the ability to join rooms and direct message people inside of our company. I like how we can customize our presence so that features that annoy us can be turned off. I also like the ability to request attention or 'shake' which brings your chat to the front of someone's screen.

If you are looking for a basic chat communication platform, then spark is a good choice. Easy communication with people in your contact list.

I have been using Spark for over 6 years now and as a company chat platform it is not that bad. I like that you can easily set it up and log into it. I like that you can create team chats with security passwords. Instant messaging is a breeze and group chats are easy to navigate. You also have the option to change your nick name if the name on the server is not what you want to use. The random color feature is also very helpful when you are in group chats. Using this feature allows you to distinguish between multiple users. You also have the option to pull the data logs from any chat and save them as a PDF. Finally the search feature is phenomenal. With a database of over 3 thousand employees the search feature allows me to instantly locate someone by the first, last, or user name.
