I Use Discord Every Day
I've used the basic version of Discord (no Nitro or anything fancy like that) for years now, and more recently have been using it for work due to Covid. It's been a great way to keep in touch in all cases. It's fast and easy and rarely goes down.I've also had the opportunity to moderate on a couple of servers. While there are certain very specific things that I wished were available, there was still a lot of room to personalize and add to the servers, and everything was relatively easy to learn with a few quick google searches.
PROSIt is my main method of communicating with friends and family. Overall, it's fast to setup and easy to use, especially when you've had a few weeks to get used to the format.
CONSThere are limitations for group chats and video channels. I don't know if you can get rid of these by paying, but they can be annoying when you want to get a group together but have one or two too many participants.
Reasons for switching to Discord
My friend switched for personal reasons and I wanted to stay in touch with them. I used both for a while and then more and more people in my friend circle started switching for Discord, so I made the switch for good.

Discord has all the communication tools you need!
I am really happy that after years of using Discord i can use it not just for gaming. Lately I've been using it as learning/study group tool which helps in discussions and sharing of materials. Discord is really versatile and helps you take care of day to day tasks.
PROSEasy to use and functional. There are not many other products that are jam packed with features like Discord. No matter what you want - chat, voice call or screen sharing you can have it. And integration with games works flawlessly.
CONSAt this point i have not found anything wrong with this product, it works really well and stable.
Reason for choosing Discord
Discord had everything packed in one product. Chat, voice, video, gaming, channels, discussions. There is no other product that has everything combined like this.
Reasons for switching to Discord
It didn't have all the options that we needed in one product.

A Platform for seamless communication and collaboration.
I appreciate what Discord provides and my overall experience with the platform it offers a wide range of feature like voice and video calls, text messaging, and the ability to create customize severs.
PROSI really enjoy the seamless communication and collaboration features of Discord. It allows me to easily connect with friends, join communities, and engage in voice and video calls.
CONSI appreciate the good side of Discord but my concern was about the occasional presence of toxic behavior or harassment within certain communities.

Good software gone bad
Discord essentially stole the idea of "Skype" and "Slack" and put them together, delivering a gamer-centric VOIP solution and, later, a wonderful siloed social platform. however as it burns through money Discord resorted to push "Nitro" which brough value by pay-walling otherwise freely avilable functionality in other platforms (screen sharing, streaming, emojis, etc). leading to a poor experience and slowed performance to the average user. An alternative "Guilded.gg" does the same job better and is here to stay as they are owned and operated by Roblox Inc.
PROSIt is the world's most popular consumer messenger It is fast, cross-platform, and reasonably secure
CONS- No customer protection against doxxing, harassment, or financial fraud. - Corporation is biased to leftist agenda and will engage in political election interference.
Reason for choosing Discord
Discord was great until you discovered its failing business practices. So, if you value your customers and information, you should consider a product with better safety compliance and responsive support service when things go south.

Next Gen Communication Tool
Overall, Discord enables me to be more expressive when interacting with people - which makes me feel more included in the communities that I join in, and makes me feel more connected to other people in the servers that I manage.
PROSDiscord is the best app for joining or building communities, both as a user or an admin. Discord nitro and server boosting are amazing features that 10x your experience within Discord. Stickers and custom emojis can be used on different servers. The video and streaming quality is amazing.
CONSOne thing that's a bit of a bother is the fact that you can't minimize the channel/messages bar on the left side, which can be distracting when using the streaming feature. The only way to hide it is using the full-screen feature.
Reason for choosing Discord
It's easier and more efficient to manage communities on discord as an admin of a community.

I use discord EVERYDAY !
Discord and intuitive and offers a very pleasant user experience. The free version is more than enough and offers many features. The smartphone version is very successful. I myself am an administrator of a Discord server and I love using the application on a daily basis.
PROS- The free version already offers a lot of customization possibilities- Custom emotes to react to messages- Discord is smooth and reliable to use- Its dark mode and colors are pleasing to the eye- UX and UI is good
CONSThere's not really anything I like less about Discord apart from the rights management that I find a bit complicated to understand when you're a server administrator.
Reason for choosing Discord
Because discord is for me the most successful tool that includes all the features I need.

Started using Discord for fun, ended up using it for work
My overall experience with Discord couldn't be better. Discord is a complete, straight-forward tool that ease groups communication.
PROSDiscord is a complete tool for communication. We are using it as the main channel for projects communication. The possibility to create channels for specific groups of people is a key feature that, although it is not exclusive to Discord (Slack also has such a feature), it turns team communication management much easier.
CONSSince it has many, many features, sometimes it is hard to find exactly what you are looking for.
Reasons for switching to Discord
Slack does not offer the option to store channels messages for a long time (in its free version).

Discord is not just for gamers - it’s actually a great platform for remote work
I really like it! My overall experience is nothing but good!
PROSI use Discord for gaming like everyone else and it does that so well. I honestly also prefer to use it for remote meetings and demonstrations etc because it is actually far better to use than Zoom. The interface is easier to understand, much cleaner and more pleasing to the eye than Zoom. It seems more reliable and stable than Zoom. It is hard to get other people to use it this way as they don’t see it as a business platform - which it isn’t but it can fill that role really well and it does all this for free.
CONSThere isn’t anything about Discord that I don’t like, it really is an excellent solution.
Reasons for switching to Discord
I still have to use Zoom but for my team I prefer to use Discord because it just works better.

Discord Review
I enjoy the ability to contact people world wide. It's like the new chat rooms in the 2020s. This has not been intergraded into my company as of yet, but its on our list of possible communication pieces for advertising our services. Having the capability to speak to our clients in a text format will help those with busy lives and still have the capability to receive care.
CONSCons are the current uses of Discord. It does not contain the most professional atmosphere. I'm sure this will change in future updates. This site is also used mainly for the video gaming community. A great way for gamer communication but it seems it has more potential then how its being used.

Discord > all other group chat and video conferencing platforms
I have used discord from everything from a small 10-30 group of friends just messing around and hanging out to an over 10,000 member military-sim community that hosted events and training virtually on various video games to helping consult and do freelance work with video game studios. The last five years of my professional and personal life has been on discord and I can't argue hard enough for how great it is.
PROSDiscord is extremely easy to use and easy to learn. This makes it great for new users to hop on. It also has a simple interface and great audio and video quality. Due to these features, plus the ability for text threads and comment history, it has much greater value than other services such as skype, meet, zoom, etc which are harder to run a large community or startup company in.
CONSMore functionality for subthreads and greater server organization (the left bar) would really improve the already great functionality of Discord.
Reason for choosing Discord
Discord has a much more "grounded" feel and also has much deeper roots in the video game community making it a great place to setup shop.
Reasons for switching to Discord
Discord is easier to use, has more features, and has better quality audio and video for managing a small community of friends to a large company.

The Usefulness of Discord
Discord has helped my business by linking me with potential partners to collaborate on for various works. It helped in introducing me to communities that update me on new trends.
PROSDiscord is a great app for getting in touch with like-minded individuals of the same niche while maintaining a friendly yet professional environment. Its forums and communities are helpful and the application has a server and channel system for organized dispensing of information. It helped with my business for finding potential customers and finding quick fixes to any problems I might have encountered through reaching out on the various communities
CONSDiscord could work on their notification system. It is cluttered and does not display accurate information of senders. Also the application's picture-in-picture system negates some of the features while it is active.
Reason for choosing Discord
It was more detailed in presentation. Customer service was more responsive. The communities and forums were more active and messaging was orderly.
Reasons for switching to Discord
Omlet was only meant for streaming and it was not even really good at that. Its communities were also bland and the app in general was poorly optimized

Another contender in the chatting space
First of all, it helped me find my partner that I now cooperate with to create games. Since it has servers, it allows us to create communities without using other apps, which is great.
PROSDiscord is mostly free, the main features are always unlocked and only upgrades to those features/gimmicks are sold with the Discord Nitro. It is really quick and loads relatively fast even on slower internet connections. I love the way servers can be organised and how they look overall, instead of them just being a group chat, they have a lot of voice and normal channels and can categorize them with ease.The biggest difference between the competitors is the fact you can have bots in your servers. They can range from security to party games. They are a great addition for every server and EVERYONE can make one! You just need to know how to code, no special verification or fees required.
CONSA lot of the newest features are locked behind Nitro. For example, themes. Before the update the only way to customize your app was to use betterdiscord or similar, which was prohibited by the ToS. Now, they have added this feature but it's only available to Discord Nitro users. They have 2 tiers of Discord Nitro. One has a lot less features but also costs less and the normal Nitro has all of the features but also costs more. With the themes you will need to buy the more expensive one.
Reasons for switching to Discord
It has a lot more features than Facebook's counterpart.

Discord Overall Review
I use Discord since 2016 and I had no problems with it. I was building communities, helping people setup their Discord Servers, and developing Discord Bots to automate the Moderation of the Servers. However, my account was banned stating 4 different non-related reasons. When I contacted support they basically said that they don't need to explain to me what is the reason for the ban, nor what will happen to my account, owned servers, and subscription. When I sent a ticket with the questions, they simply didn't answer it. My experience is simply personal, so yours can and must differ.
PROSYou can have the best Discord experience without digging into the app functionality too big. You can use it just for friend communications, community, and basically any other way depending on your Discord Server settings and layout
CONSSecurity is a big concern right now. I would not recommend this app for companies to transfer important files and sensitive data. The security of communications and information transfer can be compromised by just simply setting up your Discord Server without experience or downloading malicious files or simply scanning a QR code

A virtual hangout
I use Discord on a daily basis to talk to my friends and have a chit chat. It is my go to for a friendly chat. Wouldn't swap it out for any other.
PROSDiscord is very easy to use. The software is intuitive and user friendly. You can control the bit rate in voice channels which makes it easier for people with bad signal to communicate. Discord servers are great for community hangouts or friend hangouts. Many software and games have their own community servers in Discord. Moderation is easier and roles can be assigned to people and the things a person can do can be divided into roles. Discord is great for having a chit chat with others and community engagement but I can't really see it being used in a professional environment.
CONSUploads are limited unless you buy nitro. Nitro, in my opinion is mainly cosmetic, but the upload size limit can be annoying at times. The compression algorithm can definitely be better as the way I've seen it TeamSpeak has audio compression.
Reasons for switching to Discord
The user interface of TeamSpeak is extremely outdated and it takes a while to get the hang of the software.

A Social Place that has a little bit of everything
Discord is a great platform to create a community or to have individual communication based on your needs, as a long time user I've had both awesome and not so awesome experiences on it but its definetly a platform worth using .
PROSDiscord works flawlessly on desktops which is its strong selling point. Discord works as a social messaging app where you get a bit of everything from 1 to 1 messaging, group chats, servers and calls, video calls and live streaming in your calls. It makes quick communication possible to anyone as its free to use.
CONSThe android mobile app is where it lacks performance. It gets laggy, sometimes notifications simply don't pop up, some features are not as polished as it is in desktop. Another downside is the price of its subscription service "Nitro" compared to the benefits it offers, which are mostly cosmetic.

Best app for gamers and persons looking to improve productivity.
My overall experience with Discord is good.
PROSThe best thing about discord is that it has a lot of server/forums related to productivity, stock market, games, etc. A large number of users can join these forums. Also the one-on-one chat feature of discord is excellent as it allows sharing any type of files of any size. It is an useful app for freelancers as many freelancers use discord to chat with clients. Another good thing about this app is that video chat and audio chat can be done easily and smoothly even if there are a large number of persons in that chat. The audio and video quality never gets compromised. Also, notifications or alerts can be either turned off or customized according to the user.
CONSThe thing I liked least about this software is that the User Interface is not user friendly and it is not easy to use for someone who is new to Discord. Also, there are a lot of cases in which accounts gets hacked after clicking on phishing links.
