Its initial configuration is of great importance since its interface, deserves the inclusion or activation of functions that do not come by default, it would be a significant improvement if it were included and it would save much of the time, certainly this is only necessary time to start using it, once it is completely done, it is not necessary to repeat it, so we do not pay much attention to this aspect and we continue to use them satisfied as before.

This is one of the best inter-company communication tool. The feature like who is online, who is away from computer and who is offline etc makes the communication even better. We have the option to save chat history which is very useful. Sending the screenshot is super easy in this tool. All in all a great experience using this tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Also, screen sharing is something important as well which it does not have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
