We started to use VIPole instead of Skype, because it offered similar functionality, topped by end-to-end encryption. Apart from chatting, the app has a number of features for managing productivity, including a simple task manager, and the team releases updates monthly. I especially appreciate that it is easy to find the files that we’ve shared months ago and to forward them to other chats. I also use VIPole to manage passwords from a number of online services, for some of them, the access is shared within our team. In VIPole, passwords are stored encrypted and are easy to reach in both mobile and desktop VIPole apps.

Despite the fact that my colleagues do not always just sit next to me in the room, it feels almost as if they are, because in VIPole we instantly share ideas and hold conference calls when it’s better to talk, not to write. Troubleshooting has become easier than ever.
