    The main "power" of Rainbow is the hybrid model, to mix traditional telephony and the new way of communicating
    Rainbow is used in our company by "mobile" people who need to communicate easily with fixed telephones. For an emergency in a subway station, communications are very important and Rainbow provides everything we need for such communications.

    Telegram has been very well suited for family video calls and conversations where detailed and private information is being shared. Video calling is fantastic and I'm so thrilled that they added group video calls now! The video quality is also so good that I've been able to use it to make virtual portrait sessions happen. I just don't use this for sending out formal contracts and things like that. I feel like email still needs to be used for those scenarios, but any client that just wants a secure way of communicating with me about their private family matters...this is THE app to use!

    • It is so safe to use that many users can share anything, including private pictures of anyone, even nudity as well. That is horribly disgusting.
    • They should restrict those users who run nudity in the Telegram groups and community.
    • Otherwise, I don't have any problem[s with] Telegram. I am a very satisfied user of Telegram.

    Teams have better collaboration features than Rainbow, but for companies like the one I worked for, hybrid communication is essential and Teams can't provide all the phone features we need to work.
    Rainbow does a good job for the people who work for our company

    I used WhatsApp Business but it's limited. I can add only 250+/- members to the WhatsApp group. But in Telegram, it's 200000. So this is a big opportunity to promote my event. Telegram has much more user data privacy and company transparency than Signal. I am using both but telegram for vas communication
