But some more features, such as integration with email and more precise notifications would definitely make it better.“ June 6, 2026 JR Joe Felix R EntertainerEntertainment, Self-employedUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “There are a few things I'm not a fan of are the paid features. When you buy Nitro for roughly $10 a month, you get 2 server boosts for a server of your choosing, the ability to use Stickers/Emotes on any server, longer posts, and a 500mb upload limit. While these are good features, I'm not a fan of how it's locked behind a paywall when Discord is a free to use Application.“ October 3, 2025 DK David K Head of CommunityMarketing and Advertising, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “It’s a very good program because it’s complete with everything needed for effective collaboration: direct messaging, calls, group messaging, file sending and an excellent server system.“ July 28, 2025 SJ Stephanie J AssistantEntertainment, Self-employedUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “they have cyber bullying and harassment that is active and they do nothing, they send you a generic automated message of how you can go about reporting somebody but it only works one way there's no other options and no other individuals willing to actually do the work that needs to be done.“ November 13, 2025 AJ Aja Nurse J StudentHigher Education, Self-employedUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “I really like that past students who already completed the course are active in the channels and help us with materials, explanations, and tutoring.“ April 24, 2026 AJ Aja Nurse J StudentHigher Education, Self-employedUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “Also, when a server has a lot of channels, it can feel a bit confusing to navigate at first until I get used to where everything is.“ April 24, 2026 VT Victoria T UnemployedInsurance, Self-employedUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “Can stream applications and screens super easily to multiple people and they can join or leave call whenever or multiple people streaming simultaneously .“ July 9, 2025 Nayana S network engineerComputer & Network Security, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “Mainly i have a issue with the notification sounds, when we are in group chat with lot in active server overcome volume of notification. when we consider about the this need lot of performance and it affect to some old less powerful devices mostly it happen to me also once. and i think in here we need more privacy concerns because in here its not secure at all with harassment and i think this system need more security features .“ June 15, 2024 ## Showing most helpful reviews Showing 1-25 of 537 Reviews Sort by: Most Helpful Rating Company Size Reviewer's Role Length of Use Frequency of Use Andrew M.

It just works for keeping connected with folks across the world Cons It's a bit complex to get started and some of the admin tooling is tricky to get right. And then there is the spam which is annoying, but Discord tries to help Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Discord: The Best Casual Communication App" September 25, 2025 5.0 Discord overall is a great software that I use every single day to connect with friends and do small collaborative projects. I recommend it to anyone with more casual needs and does not require enterprise level software and security. In terms of pure communication and features available, Discord perform far better than MS Teams, Zoom, or Skype. Best of all its completely free for most uses cases, and for those looking for extra features and personalization Discord Nitro is not a bad value for the money. Pros Discord is very easy to navigate and has a user interface that is intuitive and well-designed. It also has a lot of personalization that makes collaboration both personalized and responsive. The audio is always loud and clear, and it is ideal for informal conversations as well as meetings with teams. I really enjoy the ability to have group servers where you can organize channels by different topics or projects. Aside from that, sharing of files, images, and other documents is a breeze directly in chat, and collaboration is a breeze. In terms of Value of money 90% of Discord is completely free. The payed version Discord Nitro is not too expensive at $10. It provides more personalization, and larger file transfer sizes, but for pure communication is not required at all. Cons One drawback is that it is less dependable for private conversations due to the absence of robust security features or end-to-end encryption. Additionally, Discord isn't really made for business or professional use, so it doesn't fit in well at work. Another problem is that anyone can message you and search for your username, which raises security and privacy concerns. Switched from [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) Easier to make spontaneous discussions and much better structure in being able to make servers with different roles and section for different type of content Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Go‑To Platform for Course Help at Concordia" April 24, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Discord has been very positive. I use it at Concordia University to access my student union’s server, join the channels for each of my courses, and stay connected with other students. I really like that past students who already completed the course are active in the channels and help us with materials, explanations, and tutoring. Everything—discussions, files, group chats, and support—is organized in one place, so it makes studying and interacting with my peers much easier. Overall, Discord has been a reliable and convenient platform for communication and academic support. Pros What I like most about Discord is how easy it makes it for me to connect with other students at Concordia University. I can access my student union’s server, join the channels for each course, and get help from past students who already completed the class. I really like that everything—materials, discussions, tutoring, and group chats—is all in one place, so I never feel lost or disconnected. It makes studying and interacting with my peers a lot easier and more organized. Cons What I liked least about Discord is that sometimes the notifications can get overwhelming, especially when multiple course channels are active at the same time. If I’m not checking often, important messages can get buried under all the other conversations. Also, when a server has a lot of channels, it can feel a bit confusing to navigate at first until I get used to where everything is. Review Source VD Void D. Freelance Artist Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Discord Review" July 10, 2025 3.0 Overall it's still a program that I use every day, however that is more due to the lack of real competitors than loyalty. It used to be a program I loved, but it feels like every year it gets worse. Pros Discord is widely used so most clients and collaborators I need to speak with already have accounts. It has all the basic functions I need for communication - direct messaging, calls, group messaging, file sending, and a great server system. Cons The program has so many issues and glitches, in particular the mobile version. The devs regularly make updates to the program that don't make much sense, while neglecting real issues. The addition of an integrated AI that cannot be removed or opted out of also makes it very frustrating to use as an artist. Switched from [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) Skype had long since fallen out of popular use, and didn't have a lot of features that Discord did.

Cons For me useless monetization like animated avatars, backgrounds etc. i get they need to finance it somehow and maybe just im not a target.

Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for Collaborating" August 6, 2025 4.0 I’ve had an overall good experience using discord for group messaging and private messaging. It’s been helpful for collaborating. Pros Discord allows a person to create a server or group chat with automated features. It allows for organized team collaboration. The private channels in servers allow you to customize who can view what and easily allow certain branches of a company or group to see specific content. It is a free platform. Cons You cannot make servers fully private, while they are invite only the links can be guessed. There has been connectivity issues. The moderation team on discord can be difficult to work with. Switched from [SkypeTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/173334/SkypeTime/) It was a simpler product. Skype did not have as clean of a layout.

These features include strong privacy control, screen sharing, high-quality voice, and video. All these things make Discord the best. Pros Discord is a perfect platform to communicate with employees. There are many things that I like the most in Discord that are: - User-Friendly Interface - High-Quality Voice & Video Chat - Organized Text Channels - Cross-Platform Support - Screen Sharing - Free Core Features - Strong Privacy Controls Cons Beginners can face some issues while using Discord, like a little complex Setup for Beginners. In Public Servers, privacy is a big concern. Sometimes Frequent Updates Disrupt Workflow Overall, it's a very good platform. Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) The interface is little confusing and the voice chat quality is not good Review Source MMJ Medina- Maldonado J.

It’s an intuitive platform that makes communication easy for casual chats or professional collaboration. Pros Discord's real-time collaboration and seamless communication tools make team coordination easy. The ability to create channels and integrate bots enhances workflow and productivity. Cons Sometimes the notifications can be overwhelming, especially on busy servers. It can also be tricky to manage settings across different channels. Switched from [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) It's not working properly. At Cognizant we are a big team to communicate, so it's lagging too much.

Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Discord for work and personal" October 29, 2024 4.0 discord has been a huge part of communication both in my personal and work life Pros integrations, gifs, channels, and voice chats.. allowing for a variety of different topics to be communicated about Cons Pricing and monetization, mobile ui changes Switched from [Google Chat](https://www.capterra.com/p/175800/Chat/)[Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) discord provided a variety of options that other software just did not have Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Engineer Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Making a world away feel not so far." July 7, 2025 5.0 I used Discord for over a year during a long-distance relationship, and it worked surprisingly well. Being able to jump in or out of a call is amazing and being able to share screens or watch things together helped us feel more connected despite the distance. Pros I really like the way Discord organizes conversations into channels. It makes it easy to navigate, stay on topic, and connect with different groups all in one place. Cons There are occasional connection issues or crashes, especially when switching between devices or using certain features like voice and video calls. Notifications don’t always sync properly across platforms, which can make it easy to miss messages. These bugs don’t happen all the time, but when they do, they can interrupt the flow of communication and make the experience a little frustrating. I’d love to see these technical issues improved for smoother, more reliable performance. Review Source PR Priam R. Student Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If you want to build a community, this is the platform for you." January 17, 2025 4.0 It is a great app for building and engaging with a community and being productive at the same time. There is no dearth of features to improve engagement with your audience be it in chats or the voice channels. The change in usability due to frequent updates can take some time to get used to but functionality of essential features is not hampered by this. Pros I like the ability to segregate topics into different channels for discussing various topics separately. It avoids confusion having different conversations with the same group of people. Cons Lack of support for new features. New features are frequent in Discord and often influence the way you use the app, adapting to these changes takes time which can be reduced if there was more support through videos on changes being made in every update.
