### "Excellent alternative for networking with people in general without ads or other fb privacy issues."

June 11, 2018

5.0

Having the chance of getting social network services with the knowing that your private data is not being used for publicity is a pretty great feat nowadays, even though the mobile version is not as good as the internet one, it does not interfere with the excellent proposal that Whaller offers. To me, this is a win-win situation.

Pros

I created a profile and started using Whaller as an alternative to facebook, considering all the privacy and business-related issues concerning facebook. This app is excellent because it offers the chance with people from work and other places, knowing that your data and private information will not be used for publicity or some other forms of business with its clients. Security and privacy of all my personal data is a very relevant aspect for me within the use of a social network, so congratulations for that, The online interface is easy to use and highly intuitive, I wish it would be the same for the ios and android versions, respectively. However, those are issues I know they will be addressed in the future, as this app gets the recognition and popularity it truly deserves. This is basically the social network for the future.

Cons

As I mentioned before, the ios and android versions of this app are not as slick and well presented as the internet version, but for now, this is not a very alarming issue, since I am more than confident that this issue will be fixed in the next couple of months, as I have seen how much the company cares about the feedback its customers continuously give.

### "Whaller brings us a smart way to communicate with our team and customers, on a private environment."

June 2, 2017

5.0

For now it's the best product to creat a community of customers/users and generate engagement. With a large choice of features (even in the free version), Whaller is a great way to create a smart and rich relationship with your community.

Pros

First of all, the privacy of what is posted on Whaller is important. The UI is getting better and better, and users are quickly able to understand how it works and where to write or search informations. Posts allows to creat polls, events, and doodles. The CMS portal to personalise the service.

Cons

The Kanban is a godd idea but still not as powerfull as Trello. The tchat is not yet as great as Slack or Rocket.chat The sphere agenda would need integration with Exchange The price is too expensive for a small organisation

### "A very good free experience, which respect my private life."

June 5, 2017

5.0

Make my work with coworker easier ! A good platform to share documents, ideas...

Pros

The "sphere". This software is very functional and respectful for my different kind of entourage. I can be as I am with all of them in real life, but not the same way with family, coworkers, friends.

Cons

The defect is the mobile application. there is too much features we can not make yet compare to the computers version.

### "Whaller, une plateforme de réseau PRIVATIF !"

September 19, 2020

5.0

Pros

L’essentiel est le cloisonnement des sphères (groupes de discussion) Intéressant notamment pour gérer plusieurs de profils (j’ai mon profil perso et mon profil pro), et la possibilité d’orienter les notifications vers mon email pro ou perso suivant les sphères de discussion dna lesquelles je suis Plusieurs systèmes de visio integres, dont BBB qui fonctionne très bien

Cons

Même si rien de rédhibitoire, encore un petit manque d’ergonomie comparé au leaders des réseaux sociaux. En attente d’un centre de notifications et d’un chat instantané

Reason for choosing Whaller

Notamment parce que le produit est français (La société paye ses impôts ...) Qu’elle héberge ses données en Europe er surtout que les données personnelles ne sont pas commercialisées ou servant à cibler de la pub pour des tiers. Qu’il n’y a pas d’algorithme qui choisit à votre place ce que vous devez voir ou non dans votre fil... et tout ça réuni, ça n’a pas de prix.

Teams can easily take ownership of this tool. Whaller allows you to exchange asynchronously in a professional and secure environment.It makes it possible to incubate projects, keep track and store documents essential to the functioning of the organization.

### "My Opinion on Whaller !"

March 28, 2019

5.0

I am just a Whaller user and not the founder of this social network. I can not answer this question since I use Whaller personally and privately since 21 March 2019.

Pros

I give the rating of 5 stars because I think that Whaller is very promising and very well designed. The design is very nice. I registered on Whaller on March 21st because I happen to get tired of Facebook and on top of that, I was looking for a competing solution to Facebook and French, which does not spoil anything. I just installed the application on my smartphone. I intend to talk about this social network around me because all my contacts are on Facebook.

Cons

For the moment, I have not noticed any defects in the use of Whaller.

### "Excellent alternative to establish contacts with people"

October 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Whaller has served us as an alternative to the mythical Facebook, but with better privacy and business related to this social network. It offers people an excellent opportunity knowing that all their data and information will not be disclosed publicly or for any form of business with another external client. The interface is highly intuitive and easy to use. It is the social network that will dominate in the future.

Cons

The only bad thing with this software is that its applications are not as skillful as on the web or as nice to see as in the web version, although that does not worry me because I hope that over time correct that problem.

April 9, 2020

5.0

J'y gagne en simplicité de gestion de projets et je gagne en temps également.

Pros

La création de différentes sphères permet en un seul accès d'avoir la vision sur plusieurs projets en cours de réalisation avec des personnes différentes.

Cons

Je n'en ai pas encore trouvé. Le SAV est très réactif, si il devait y avoir une difficulté, je pense qu'elle sera gérée rapidement.

The website is very easy to use, we do not encounter any bug. The iOS application is perfectible. Overall I recommend this solution rather than Facebook.
