YK Yarka K. IT Security & Collaboration Manager Insurance Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/21/2026 "Unmatched Security for Regulatory Compliance" 4/5 What do you like best about Wire? I like Wire's strong built-in security and compliance design that's perfectly tailored for our insurance work at Munich Re. Its end-to-end encryption for every chat, call, and file ensures our sensitive underwriting data and client details remain secure. It gives us serious peace of mind in a highly regulated industry. I also appreciate that Wire is easy to use despite its high security. The interface is clean and straightforward, requiring no extensive training, which means security doesn’t come at the cost of productivity. Plus, audit logs and administrative controls make it simple to meet GDPR and financial regulatory requirements without extra work, providing enterprise-grade protection in a practical, everyday tool. I value how Wire combines enterprise-grade security with ease of use, making it irreplaceable for handling confidential financial information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Wire? While Wire excels at security and compliance, there are a few areas that feel lacking for our mid-sized insurance team at Munich Re. First, the integration ecosystem is fairly limited. It doesn’t connect as smoothly with our core insurance and office tools—like our document management system and project management platforms—as some other collaboration tools do. This forces us to switch between apps more often than we’d like. Second, some advanced collaboration features feel basic. The whiteboarding functionality is simple and not ideal for joint risk-model workshops, and file previews for large, complex documents can be slow to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Wire solving and how is that benefiting you? Wire centralizes secure communication, eliminating the risk of data leaks from unsecured tools. It provides end-to-end encryption and audit logs, aiding GDPR compliance, and simplifies secure collaboration with external parties. Wire reduces compliance headaches with reliable message history and access controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this platform is that it has a default end-to-end encryption. This platform is ideal for the team since we are handling sensitive data. Their interface is also very clean and intuitive, supports messaging, voice and video calls as well, all under a single platform. I also very much like how their multi-device sync and access-driven invite works, this makes the collaboration easier between the cross-functional teams and external stakeholders as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Wire? This platform is secure, but the user experience is slightly underdefined when compared with other mainstream platforms like Slack or even Teams. Some features, like file management and search, should be more refined as well. And this platform adoption is also a bit complex. Their integration ecosystem should also be extensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Wire solving and how is that benefiting you? Wire platform solves the problem of having secure internal and external communication, specifically in environments where privacy and compliance and regulations are mandated. This platform also makes sure that all the conversations, files and calls everything is been protected, it reduces the risk of data leaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UD Una D. Sales & Client Relationship Manager Newspapers Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/19/2026 "Secure Communication, Seamless Collaboration" 4/5 What do you like best about Wire? I really appreciate the excellent file-sharing capabilities in Wire, especially with the added benefit of version control. It's incredibly helpful for collaborative work because team members can track changes made to shared files over time. The video conferencing feature combined with screen sharing is particularly useful for remote teams, allowing for effective presentations and real-time collaboration. I also find Wire's compliance-friendly nature crucial as it helps us meet strict data privacy and security regulations while ensuring seamless team communication. Additionally, I like that the initial setup of Wire was so easy for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Wire? At times, there can be a noticeable delay in server response, especially during peak usage periods. This can be frustrating when sending messages, sharing files, or starting a video call. Optimizing the server infrastructure to handle high loads more efficiently would enhance the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Wire solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Wire for secure team communication, ensuring confidentiality with end-to-end encryption.

"Simple, Organized, and User-Friendly Communication Platform" 4/5 What do you like best about Wire? The best part about this platform is it's simplicity and portability. I love this platform for an organised structure of progresional chats that can be maintained in this application. The user friendly interface is worth mentioning. Having a video call option in chatgroups is really a clever feature that is much needed. It's fast and reliable communication makes this platform much comfortable to use.

"Good" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Wire? Wire seems to combine messaging, calls, and video calls with a high level of security. The end-to-end encryption provides a lot of confidence. It could improve in integrations with other tools, but overall it is a solid option for teams that prioritize privacy and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Wire? The platform can feel saturated and sometimes they take a while to approve reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Wire solving and how is that benefiting you? Wire is a very strong platform in terms of security and privacy, but it still has areas where it can improve. Integrations with other tools are limited and the interface, although functional, could be more intuitive. On some devices, there are small glitches and its administrative options are not as comprehensive as in more popular alternatives. However, these same points allow for a better appreciation of its focus: by not being saturated or overcrowded, it stands out for offering secure and controlled communication. Overall, its advantages outweigh its limitations, especially for those who prioritize confidentiality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most redeeming feature of the app is the End-to-End encryption as well as being open-source. We use Wire as the main communications channel in our enterprise and it gets the job done. It is supported on all mainstream operating systems, including Linux, MacOS, Windows; as well as Android and iOS apps. Therefore, most users will be able to use the application without major issues. The search option also works great when compared to other mainstream programs, such as MS Teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Wire? It is sometimes a bit buggy, with conversations not showing up across different platforms, notifications not showing up etc. But these events are quite rare, 98% of the time it works fine. It is a bit feature-light, but that is to be expected of a secure communications app- the more functions, the more can go wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Wire solving and how is that benefiting you? It allows for a secure channel for business communications. Our company handles large amounts of private and sensitive data, therefore having an open-source and e2e encrypted communication channel is vital. Personally, I also enjoy Wire not having activity indicators, unlike Skype, MS Teams, Slack and other corporate tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main reason for opting Wire would be the privacy and security. Each chat is encrypted separately with individual keys, and to my knowledge, there's no state-sanctioned eavesdropping or any kinds of privacy breach, since it's a Swiss company. The interface is cool and easy-to-use. Quality of video and audio calls are top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Wire? Very limited number of participants in video calls can be a hindrance. Also, there's little to no option for integration with third-party applications. Syncing between devices takes time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Wire: For larger team size, Wire might not be the best option. Also, if you have other uses for a messaging application that extends beyond instant chat and secure conferencing, you might be better off using other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Wire solving and how is that benefiting you? Wire is a highly secure application to communicate between team members while making sure that your privacy isn't breached by any third-party. The quality of audio-video calls are also fantastic, with competitive budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
