Could out-do Microsoft Teams... what do you think?

I do not know how much Ryver would cost a business because I am not on that side but I can imagine it is cheaper. It works almost the same as other similar software so this could be a big problem for its competitors.

PROS

What I like most about Ryver, it gives the user so many options when using the chat options. You can dress up your chat room to make it your own

CONS

What I like least about the software is the way the chat is organized. I couldn't tell if I was replying to a chat person or it was posted by someone else. Also, uploading a document or screen shot was not easy to do the first time but after the user is used to the features, then this software might out-do other chat/team similar software.

Reasons for switching to Ryver

I worked for a different employer at the time.

Great collaboration software with lots of features

PROS

Ryver is easy to set up, easy to learn to use and has so many options to customize it to your needs. You can set up private teams, open forums, have 1:1 chats, all working smoothly. We use the task and topics tabs in the groups a lot to see who needs to do what and stay on track without creating chaos. Everytime we tried other similiar apps, we have come back to Ryver because it is the best. Also has different integrations, for example, answers from a google form will be directly converted into tasks in a team, and much more is possible if you want to use zapier. We also only had great experiences with their customer support.

CONS

The mobile app sometimes takes a long time to load when you start it. A few more design customizations would be nice.

Reasons for switching to Ryver

Ryver has more options overall and a great customer support.

An okay chat product that lacks compelling value

PROS

It is a decent enough Slack clone for basic team chat.

CONS

It can't compete with Slack (or now Google Chat) for integrations, and doesn't provide compelling value with the new pricing - especially if your company is using Google Business for email and other cloud services, in which case you already have Google Chat as part of your subscription.

The free version of Slack

We switched to Ryver when Slack changed its pricing structure. It seemed clunky at first, but they've continued to run updates a couple times since then and it's gotten better. Simple, graphically trimmed chat service.

PROS

It's a familiar set up and functionality to anyone who's used Slack in the past. Does a great job of helping our company communicate. No storage issues uploading images to share them on the platform. Recently started to utilize the task functions, big plus.

CONS

Responding to a comment and creating a thread is NOT conducive to quick, multi user conversation. The reply carries below it a ghostly version of the full message it relates to. Makes for a very cluttered stream of communication. Preloaded "Task" categories (Trello-like set up) are unnecessary and get cleaned every time to replace them with my own. Administrators/creators of channels/teams/forums have ultimate control and cannot reassign their authority when they leave the channel. Inconvenient.

Best messaging and task management app

I would recommend Ryver to everyone because it helps manage your team. You discuss important facts about a task and project and also get to assign task and as well check when completed. It promotes accountability.

PROS

First. I must say, Ryver is a great alternative to slack and its free. It's a messaging app that let's you manage task and projects. You get to chat one on one or in groups. As a freelancer, Ryver is an app I hold dearly because it has helped me interact with team, as I get to assign task to them and also talk about any part of the task that's difficult to handle.

CONS

Logging into the App can take awhile. The developers should work on this. I have no other problem with Ryver.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback, Maryann! We're really glad to hear that you are enjoying using Ryver, and we appreciate your recommending it to others!
