Who Buys & Uses Ryver

A Great Way to Communicate Over Different Locations and On-The-Go

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Working over multiple locations, we have a requirement to be able to discuss projects in progress, which, at times. there are many. Previously, we used emails to discuss, however, when projects are long, messages invariably get lost or at the very least become hard to find. Ryver is a product that helps us collaborate in a consolidated manner.

Pros

  • Sorts conversations
  • Available as a desktop and mobile app
  • Visually unconfusing

Cons

  • The mobile app does not work as well as the desktop
  • Notifications of posts within topics are not as obvious as those at the forum level
  • We should be able to define what different file types are opened in

Return on Investment

  • It makes communicating across locations much easier
  • It makes looking back on previous conversations much easier
