All of my work colleagues are on Wire and we are able to communicate with each other while we are in the office and while we are at home. This software makes working from home very effortless because you can remain in constant contact with your coworkers. You can also turn off notifications from the app if you choose to install the software app on to your phone. > > **Cons**: Sometimes I would like to share files on Wire that are too big. Since some of my coworkers work in the podcasting arena, they have found that sometimes when they try to share their files through wire it is just too big to send, but this has been an issue for us on many softwares. > > Excellent experience and it is well worth the download. It is encrypted and certainly better than Slack. ----- ### "basic, lacking features, but solid and good at what it does" — 5.0/5 > **Vo Phat** | *29 May 2022* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The app is simple to use and also looks simple and therefore visually pleasant without unwanted buttons cluttering the interface... I like the fact that you can choose your messages to self-destroy, from off, 10 seconds to 4 weeks. WIRE uses strong end-to-end encryption and, not the least, is open-source, which in my opinion, makes it way more reliable than other proprietary apps. Unlike WHATSAPP, you are not bothered with having to sign in with your phone every time you want to use the desktop version of WIRE. > > **Cons**: Even though the simplicity of WIRE is what makes it great, I wish there were a bit more features, especially integration features. > > We needed something simple, with no fantasy features, with a high level of privacy. WIRE provides that. ----- ### "Simple but lack features" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 January 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a chat app very simple to use and setup. UI is basically chat but nothing else. Self-destroy message makes sharing sensitive info easy. Secure voice calls and video calls quality are surprisingly high. Pricing is very competitive compare to other US rivals. Europe-based company. > > **Cons**: Wire is basically just a chat software. Integrations with 3rd-party almost non-existent. Syncing between devices have issues sometimes that re-sync with new encryption key may be required. Syncing chat history takes longer time than usual. > > Great value if you only want a secure chat software this is the most robust option. But look elsewhere if you need something that has a lot of 3rd party integration or bots to help with productivity. ----- ### "Wire dropped the ball." — 3.0/5 > **Dan** | *16 April 2020* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It actually does e2e, and its mostly useable on multiple platforms. > > **Cons**: oh where to begin. I worked with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and a few other folks for the last four years to do things like "bring the mr. robot television show in as an avertising medium", reported easily dozens of bugs, lodged dozens of feature requests and onboarded easily a few hundred users. wire decided that it wouldn't accept support requests or feature requests from non-paying customers, so I attempted to create a paid account in order to contact support, and even after creating a paid account I was ignored by wire. something changed internally at the company and it wasn't for the better. > > It was pretty great for the first couple years. Despite the "you have to wait 15 minutes for messages to decrypt" slowness in the browser, and the occasional UI bug, the platform fundamentally did what the security community was looking for. Now, however, wire doesn't seem to care about the security community that helped it get popular. we feel like we've been abandoned by leadership. I personally invested years of my life in helping wire become the defacto secure comms program that I could count on for my friends, family and customers - and now i feel like i've made a terrible mistake, because just as its becoming critical to have secured communications, wire has kicked me to the curb, and with me, my entire community and all of my customers. ----- ### "There is only one nation who backs their commitment to privacy with laws which apply to all." — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *27 May 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that their encryption is not just SOTA, but that each and every message is it's own fortress with it's own unique key. I love that the infrastructure is located in Swiss territory with the only respectable commitment to it by law. > > **Cons**: I absolutely have no qualms with WIRE, whatsoever. > > Brilliant and easy to use. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/170279/wire?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/170279/wire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
