Massage therapist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Telegram allows fast and instant messages to individuals and large groups. You can call and video ch" September 1, 2021 4.0 We make use of Telegram in my company. As a massage company whose staff are in 3 different states in the country which requires a lot of collaboration with the client base. Telegram helps us communicate among the staff of my company in terms of regular client updates. We created a group and also a channel for all our customers where we give them updates of all products, services and promos. Pros 1\. i like that i can send large files, this helps with sharing information with my colleges 2. i love how i can join groups that are in my interest 3. another cool feature is how all the messages load from the time a group starts, so when someone new joins the group they can go back and read previous messages. 4. Telegram can be used on PC and the setup is so easy. 5. it offers option for private messages, makes me feel safe 6. it is free Cons 1\. there are bots all the time, sending messages, meaning i can easily be hacked 2. unable to upload statuses and stories Switched from [WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/) The switch was made because Telegram allows sharing of bigger files, it allows more than 200 people in a group, it provides the chance to create channels for tutoring and promoting and when a new staff is added, they can easily refer to previous messages even if the we not present when those messages were sent.

It is a place that I use more as a warehouse, such as searching for books, sharing files. Pros In this application, I follow book sharing groups, various sharing groups. I make use of the posts there, and meanwhile, my number is not shared with them, which is very nice. Confidence in terms of confidentiality. At the same time, I do not experience a limit when sending large files. This is also an important feature. Cons This app is less used by my friends. Since it is not an application that we are not familiar with, I do not have the urge to come all the time. My notifications are therefore turned off. Switched from [WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/) Everyone is using this app. For this reason, I continue to communicate with my friends from here. Review Source Mohammed E.

Pros Telegram allows us to send large files, the conditions of use respect the privacy of its users, superb sound quality during voices, ease of sending the response, and easy to import contacts. Chat groups with a large number of people are accepted on Telegram. In addition, the administration settings and the list of telegram group members have been simplified for easier management. Cons It is impossible to add stories,it is not easy to find my messages cited in group conversations, I couldn't find a way to easily reply to messages from the notifications bar. In my area many people do not use Telegram. They prefer to use other similar applications. Fortunately, in the last few days, I've noticed an increase in the number of people on my contact list who are joining Telegram. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer ICT Systems Coordinator Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A simple and effective tool for communication" July 29, 2019 4.0 Telegram was one of several products reviewed by our ICT department to use as a backup form of communication for service outages and such and has so far been a good choice. It has allowed to remain in constant communication during service disruptions either through IM or voice chats and has allowed us to exchange information quickly. It is a clear winner for communications apps compared to others such as Slack or WhatsApp. Pros Telegram is a free app which is incredibly useful when a non-profit such as us are looking for a communications platform and don’t have much money to play with. As well as being able to instant message contacts through Telegram, you can also call them and send files or pictures, which makes it useful for us when we in the department need to share information quickly. The developers seem to push out regular updates to fix bugs and add in new features, and there are options to use secure end-to-end encryption for messages. There are a number of ways to access Telegram, including through iPhone/Android apps, a Windows 10 app, and a web-based app. Another benefit is that Telegram is not tied to any other services (such as Whatsapp is tied to Facebook, or Teams is tied to Microsoft) so there are no other less-useful features bundled with the app – it is purely a communications tool, which makes it suitable for business use. Cons There are very few drawbacks to using Telegram as a communications tool. There is currently no video call function, although I have no doubt it will be added in soon as the developers seem to be pushing out regular updates to add features and improve performance. Connecting phone contacts to Telegram requires providing permission to the app for access, although this would be true of all messaging applications not just Telegram. Switched from [WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/) We were originally using WhatsApp as our out-of-work communications tool, however due to recent news about Facebook's privacy concerns we decided to move over to Telegram which has proven just as (if not more) useful.

Might have some vibrant gifs, funny and attractive emoji 5. Desktop version need some improvement 6. Need to have more strong signal when communicating audio or video calls 7. Search feature need lots of improvement when searching old data or specific infromation 8. Some countries don't allow to use Telegram so I wish this limitation will be overcome as well 9. User community should be enlarged 10. Ability to separate and categorize groups, channels and users in different tabs should be added so they don't overlap 11. Scammers can engage people so security level need to increase as well 12. It has some hanging issue with huge file and video sharing 13. It has account recovery problem 14. It has no separator packages for instagram, facebook, youtube and so on. Review Source AD Alex D.
