User Testimonials
	Global Call Forwarding	Rakuten Viber
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	It's perfect for messaging and group messaging, especially when users in group are from different places, organizations... (unlike slack where you have to be member of same organization to be in same group). The video calls are the weak point of the app, so Viber is not good for conference calls, video calls and especially for group video conference calls. Incentivized Filip Witkowski Web Developer Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	It is very easy to use and is very user-friendly. You can have high quality video and audio meetings with more than 1 person. You can upload any type of file in Viber (video, audio, text, GIFs, PDF files). It is a very well known messenger so all people have access to it. Incentivized Tigran Petrosyan Risk Management Specialist Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	As far as I can tell, Viber lacks the feature to block specific callers/numbers. I've never needed to do this, but I'd like to know I have the option. Viber cannot be used without wifi, so it is not possible to connect with contacts who aren't also using Viber. (Unless you want to use the paid service.) This isn't a major complaint, but I find the layout of Viber to be a little cluttered. Comparing it to WhatsApp, I don't find it to be quite as user-friendly, and I sometimes stumble around to find my way to a contact to call. Incentivized Liz Wade Photographer Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I have not frequently used the support for Viber as I have not had many problems with it on my phone. I did use support one time for problems with the computer application and used the forums to solve my problems. They were fairly easy to follow and I appreciated the online help in that format.

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Rakuten Viber is overall the best. Hands down!!! Even though the other products have their own use and they are well functioning in the market, but Rakuten Viber is still top notch! Incentivized AB Alexis Blanco Bilingual Interpreter Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Rakuten Viber allows me to delete any type of message I've sent Rakuten Viber can't access or read my private conversations in the first place, Viber can't sell them. Hidden Chats allows me to keep whatever chats I want away from my main chat list, so they don't show up in my main chat list. Only a PIN that I set gives me access to Hidden Chats.
