"Convenient, secure, but a bit buggy"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Wire?

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.

"Highly secure chat app"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Wire?

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.
