Pros / Cons
  • I can send messages, share files, and work with others in group chats It also connects with other Google tools which makes collaborating on projects easier
  • It works as quick communication, but I find that it doesn't do its intended job because sometimes I do not even know if I have received a message, unless I get an email notification telling me that there is a message I need to respond to.

  • Our company has been using GroupMe for several years now in order to make announcements that are easily searchable in the future. While email will always be needed for formal communications, GroupMe acts as both a digital message board and sometimes like a digital intercom due to its phone notification features.
  • There's also no end-to-end encryption. If your making a public group, its very easy for spammers to join and flood the chats.
