We really like this software for what our intended purpose is - to communicate between workstations in an office setting. It is easy to use and has no real issues.

Pros

Our IT company recommended Softros LAN messenger to solve our intra office communication dilemma. It worked great to be able to message between work stations. I liked that it was always "on" and couldn't really be accidentally closed and therefore leave people unavailable.

Cons

Since our IT company installed the software, I can't really comment on how easy that process was, but I do think that when we wanted to add a workstation, there was a new expense involved. I do think this software was somewhat limited in that it could not be used on cell phones to further expand our ability to communicate.

Pros

Softros has been a lifesaver when I have a patient in front of me and I need to communicate with staff in the back office. The messages are sent instantly and easy to read and write back. We are a busy office and can all keep each other updated and on the same page. It's a secure messenger software so we know our patient information is safe.

Cons

It does it's job! Nothing to complain about.

Easy transfer of files and various information between the 2 PCs in my work environment.

Pros

Ease of installation, simple to use, great for my small business as I currently have 2 PCs in different rooms which often need to send various messages back and forth - Softros LAN Messenger makes this really simple, child's play.

Cons

Nothing so far - could maybe be slightly cheaper, but I was happy to pay to get the great features. Really, I don't think there's anything I could fault.

We are a small practice who used to frequently "yell" across the room to each other. Now we are able to be more professional and discreet.

Pros

I enjoy the ease of communicating with my team. I like being able to send a message without getting up from my desk.

Cons

That I have to buy a license for each computer that I want it installed on. I thought originally that the "per user" license meant how many people would be using it at one time, not how many computers would be needing to have it installed. Because of that, I had to purchase more licenses.

We use this software in an escape room to allow our players to communicate with the Mad Scientist in the game. With no connection issues we have been able to make our gameplay rock solid.

Pros

We were using another LAN messenger app and it had constant connection issues. Softros has been rock solid with no connection issues.

Cons

This is paid software, but it really isn't expensive and ultimately you get what you pay for. Other than that I don't have any negatives and I wouldn't even call this a con.

Easy and quick communication between our offices and the front desk

Pros

It was super easy to set up and use. We are a municipal office and our reception desk is able to send us a quick note if an Administrator is needed at the counter. We also use it to shoot quick notes back and forth between our offices.

Cons

We have just started to use the messenger and know that we have not utilized it to it's full potential. Right now there are no cons that we can think of.
