With a bustling office of workers going out to meetings, lunches, and sometimes working from home, having calls roll over and basically "finding" us, whether it's going from office to meeting room to cell phone, is essential! And having each employee able to create their own settings and change them day to day is a plus! Also having a group of phones ring at once, so any of a number of people can answer, while not bothering other offices, is imperative. No call gets missed and no one is bothered by constant ringing. Win-win

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.

Cons
  • A little convoluted to use their video conferencing.....Huddle
  • Not always easy to call forward my calls
  • Have a different voice for their recording of a welcome menu

  • 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.

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
I wish the Zoom chat feature could be a little more dynamic and security and privacy could be improved a little bit, but there are also things the administrator can do to enhance security and privacy. Messages sent privately between callers are not easily visible to recipients; overall, I am happy with Zoom, but no harm in trying other applications that people are talking great about; hence I tried my hands on Net2Phone!

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!

Return on Investment
  • Reduced time of support to our users
  • Problems if it hangs once and can be time consuming to restore you task in in between anything
  • Not sure about ROI but for the organization it should have benn reduced as using only 1 application now instead of 2 or 3.

  • 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.
