Office Chat

Avantages

The software was easy to setup on both client workstations and on the server. The integration with Exchange also went smooth! Starting conversations and sending small files over chat saves us a ton of walking around time to the various departments or having to send needless emails. Love the product!

Inconvénients

Occasionally we won't get a notification for a chat we received but that's not too often and it's usually isolated only to the mobile app version.

Avantages

This is very friendly software for chat in office and have good connection with office mate through office chat . Not only that it helps to build up good connections with client . And also when send messages we can know is it deliver to the person or not .

Inconvénients

According to my interest less emojifies. Some to when shows my message delivered to the person but actually doesn’t deliver to person.

Avantages

It's organized pretty obviously, with conversations with individuals labeled clearly and organized by recentness.

Inconvénients

Every time I open my phone for any app, at least twice in ten minutes the app I am using will minimize as Office Chat opens. This is not in response to receiving a new message; it simply opens in the middle of literally anything else. Even if Office Chat is open as one of the other apps running in the background, it will minimize the other apps and impose itself for no apparent reason. Notably, I have an Android phone.

The computer version has no such issues.

Avantages

Officechat is very simple to use. Simple sign on with your same company email address. You can have a list of most recent or frequently contacted coworkers, and you can have access to a list of all coworkers within the company that are logged in. You can also see their status, to see if they are actually at their PCs or away from their desks. Also, you can send images, gifs and other documents through your chat window.

Inconvénients

The software feels somewhat clunky at times, and once or twice a month we loose connection to the service for several minutes during the day. Not sure if related to an issue with the company providing the service or with our Internet connection.

Avantages

It is so easy to use, and can be installed on a smart phone -- making it really easy and quick to reach co-workers, no matter where they are, without having to share or store personal cell phone numbers.

Inconvénients

There aren't a lot of extra features and I get signed out by mistake fairly regularly (phone only).

Avantages

We all know how to text message. Office chat mimics this to make it easier to communicate within inter-office systems.

Inconvénients

That each computer needs a separate email address associated with it. Therefore, you cannot have multiple office chat computers linked to one email account.

Avantages

I like being able to get instant information from anyone in my company. This is especially useful with our technical team, because they usually get back to me immediately with an answer. I also like it when multiple people are on the same chat, working in a colaborative way.

Inconvénients

I sometimes get confused with what group chat I am in. You may have several groups set up, and several people will be the same but not all.

Avantages

It is so easy to chat with everyone in the office and I never have to pick up my phone! I can send off quick messages and get the responses I need in no time. Way faster than email!

Inconvénients

Sometimes I don't see the notification that I have a new chat but I think it just pops up when I'm not looking!

Avantages

The flexibility in office communication has been greatly enhanced since we installed Office Chat

Inconvénients

At times one can miss noticing the alert

Avantages

I enjoy the ease of using Office Chat. I love how quick and uneventful it is to share files amongst coworkers.

Inconvénients

Sometimes I will get a notification of an unread message and it is hard to find which one that is (in self-destruct mode).

Avantages

MangoApps is great in order to stay connected and within reach at any time, easy to use on your PC/laptop or cell phone.
It allows me to check who is available when issues arise in a very fast way and, in turn; I am available for any emergencies or planning.

Inconvénients

We've only had one occasion were it was not working as expected but we reached out to the Online help and it was solved quickly and they were very polite. Other than this, I have no complaints on it.

Avantages

Versatility! I can use on my smart phone, computer at home and computer at work... I can message my office staff directly without picking up the phone. Chat back and forth to maximize workflow - HIPAA compliant so don’t have to worry about safety of patient information. Group or single text is so easy. Able to snap photos and send documents! This is the best chat service I can think of. COMPLETELY impressed! And on top of all that is is SO AFFORDABLE. All my employees love it! Great job office chat!

Inconvénients

I can’t think of anything I really “dislike.” I would suggest ability to invite people by using phone number/text message instead of requirement of email address. Ability to integrate a patient reminder service by text message would be cool too.

Avantages

I can use the app on my phone to communicate with all team members back at the office. This expedites our projects and reduces delays.

Inconvénients

Only that I didn't find it sooner! We tried multiple messaging apps before finding this solution.

Avantages

With the HIPAA compliance in health care, this messaging software allows us to communicate in and out of the office setting without the worry of sharing patient names. There are many patients with duplicate first and last names so coordinating treatment which includes communication can be difficult when trying to abbreviate etc. With Office Chat that is not necessary.

Inconvénients

There are a few team members that do not receive notification so they have to open the app frequently to check for new messages on their mobile devices.

Avantages

Office Chat is one of the easiest chat apps on the market. Not only is it very cost effective, but it was very easy for all our users to set up on their desktops. It also has a mobile feature which is great so you can message while you are away from your desk. I would highly recommend it!

Inconvénients

Nothing- I don't have any negatives with using Office Chat!

Avantages

Very easy to use and setup. It has lots of features that are available for users to implement. Creating chat groups are so easy and are highly customisable which appeals to lots of people. There are also lots of function beside text chatting.

Inconvénients

Sometimes this software have issues with syncing messages on different platforms and can have problems with sharing videos or gifs.

Avantages

The app is very reliable and offers great futures.

Inconvénients

The only thing I wish it had is to change your status example - away, out to lunch, busy, do not disturb and etc... and let the user know when you are away when they send you a message.

Avantages

This software enables communication in the office in both private and group messaging.

Inconvénients

Sometimes we would need to reinstall it when it stops working on a specific PC.

Avantages

It’s so easy to use. Shows up on all my devices.

Inconvénients

It logs me out of the app on my phone constantly so I miss notifications.

Avantages

So easy to use and pops up when we need it to. The The emoji’s and pictures make the conversations fun

Inconvénients

It seems like it may be a little memory hungry.

Avantages

I like the fact that users can post their own unique photo or ID to personalize the screen

Inconvénients

My biggest complaint is that if someone gets to work and forgets to open their app on their desktop, sending them a message is pointless. Also, I would like the phone app to allow me to sign in with my fingerprint and not have to remember my password, which I am not very good at doing.

Avantages

Easy and enhances internal admin communication and facilitates training.

Inconvénients

Would like option to have email notification as an option. We could utilize across company better, but still great.

Avantages

Very easy to use and teach staff; reliable software.

Inconvénients

I wasn't able to find a way to delete conversations

Avantages

I love how I can just hop on a shoot message to my coworkers with ease! Great app!

Inconvénients

I love the app, absolutely no complaints here.

Avantages

Live chat, real time notifications and alerts, mobile alerts and mobile version, access & control permissions (role based too), file sharing.
It's convenient that I can mute conversations that aren't as important or urgent. Quick reply is awesome to have.
I like that it includes GIFs and emoticons, some office oriented chat software does not. Price is affordable and consistent.
Simple to use and reliable as far as messages getting through.
The read receipts are nice when I need to check team accountability!

Inconvénients

Sadly there are several important things we need that aren't in the software, like mentions or tagging with the @ symbol, commenting, event calender or schedule, task lists. It really stinks that there isn't an employee and contact database too. We also really needed a good video conferencing and screen sharing feature.
There are some things that are frustrating, for example when I'm catching up on a conversation and someone sends a new message, it sends me back to the bottom of the thread. Also when I'm using another app and a notification pops up for office chat, for some reason it automatically starts typing in the quick reply box instead of what I was doing originally.

Pourquoi choisir Office Chat 

Meta is extremely frustrating when you need customer support/tech support. It's very, very, hard to contact anyone and and when you do they often aren't helpful. It was so frustrating that we dropped the software and office chat was affordable so we tried it.
