About

Element is a secure communications platform built on Matrix: a decentralised and end-to-end encrypted protocol. Bring your teams together, boost productivity and workplace satisfaction, while retaining complete ownership of your data. Element is a leader in the Forrester Wave: Secure Communications report. Easily collaborate with your partners, suppliers or clients with video calls and instant messaging: like email for the 21st century. You can even connect your Slack, MS Teams, WhatsApp accounts. On the other hand Element can be closed for high security environments using secure border and cross domain gateways, and even air-gapped deployments. Being built on Matrix, there is no single point of failure for the network thanks to the decentralised network architecture, making it perfect for mission-critical environments. Please contact us to explore how your business can benefit from Element.

About

End-to-end encryption for things that matter. Keybase is secure messaging and file-sharing. We use public key cryptography to ensure your messages stay private. Even we can’t read your chats. Keybase works for families, roommates, clubs, and groups of friends, too. Keybase connects to public identities, too. You can connect with communities from Twitter, Reddit, and elsewhere. Don’t live dangerously when it comes to documents. Keybase can store your group’s photos, videos, and documents with end-to-end encryption. You can set a timer on your most sensitive messages.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Pricing: based on our inquiries and after comparing with the closest competitors, the price was on average 30% lower for the same or better set of options. Communication: at every stage, from the presale to the solution of everyday problems, there is always a person who can listen to your question, knows how to help you, what to suggest or find someone who can. Design: from the point of view of the code, a very modern project that uses the latest trends in development, does not stop developing and improving. from the point of view of design, everything is made as native and understandable for users as possible. Security: not one of the few solutions that offers a really high-quality level of security that does not burden users and the system, and does not reduce the functionality of the product itself. Features: the system is very amenable to customization and scaling, supports all the platforms we need, and also integrates with all corporate services. Even if a certain tool does not have enough functionality for you, it can be added through a feature request. Ease: at the beginning of operating the product, you need to understand the basic logic of the architecture and the principles of operation, but after some time you will feel very comfortable in administration and management. Customization: one of the developers said that you can customize anything, but it turned out that it is really so. And that's cool!
  • Its instant messaging service works flawlessly with hundreds of onboarded co-workers. File or document sharing is very useful. You can share reports and tasks from the same screen. It's available on cross-platform which makes it very practical for team communication.
  • Element platform is reliable and easy to use. The UI design is intuitive. Secure and encrypted messaging. Works on any IOS and web platforms. Helps to boost team collaboration in small businesses. Cost-effective enterprise plans.
  • - simple, intuitive interface - strict security - Web client, Android client available - Active community
  • #1- The Riot.im is available on cross-platform. #2- Secure and great privacy features to start instant communications. #3- One centralized platform to communicate with the inbound team.

Cons

  • Due to the high speed of project development, sometimes the documentation does not have time to be updated, which can sometimes be misleading. However, this is easily remedied by communicating with the development team. In the same reason you can sometimes collide with small bugs, usually the fix is ready within a week.
  • Its user interface makes difficult in its usability.
  • The large file share is not possible on the Element tool.
  • - strict security (if one forgets password, past secure postings are lost) - not as widely known as WA or FBmgr
  • #1- We had an overall positive experience with it.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Having a place to securely store notes, files, code, and cryptocurrency without worrying about remembering passwords is super useful. The chat function also provides a similar level of security to e.g. Signal or WhatsApp, but with a much better user experience when switching devices, etc.
  • You can easily start an online conversation with the team. Its messages and files are end to end encrypted. Simple and highly flexible mobile application. You can transfer files right from the message box.
  • Keybase has also mobile platform support. The chat room is encrypted and secured. Instant messaging with file attachment supports. Voice mail is also supported.

Cons

  • The app hasn't been updated much ever since Zoom bought out Keybase. Features still work, but nothing's gotten better in the past year or so. There isn't even a native M1 build.
  • Keybase is a perfect messaging tool. You will enjoy it. No dislike.
  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.
