Discord
Discord worked well for us in an academic setting, although I would probably recommend something like Slack--which has more professional connotations--for a work setting. Discord is great for more casual conversation because it has a connotation for being frequently used by gamers, Reddit users, large groups of friends, and people interested in a particular topic.

I think anyone can use host a meeting using Jitsi easily. It has user-friendly UI. It can be used for daily meetings, small online conferences, etc. Jitsi is best for having a quick conference call without having to think of its setup process. You can also create a separate lobby for people to wait while other people are busy talking in the main room.

Pros
Discord
  • One to many Communications to ensure that we can quickly get messages out when we have to.
  • Quick polling of questions and issues
  • The ability to gate channels so we can focus on folks that we know are stakeholders gives them an added feeling of belonging and that they have a say in the direction of projects.

Usability
Discord
I can't really say much on this. It's extremely easy to use, it's very logical and intuitive, and very easy to install and set-up. Even the settings menus make sense even to nonliterate IT people.

I would give it a 10 rating because it absolutely deserves it. Discord has made things like keeping in touch extremely easy for people. Anywhere from gamers, businessmen and even family calls are all a part of this fantastic application. The ease of access of being able to jump in a room with your friends and talk to them is amazing

Discord is better when addressing many people at once. I like how you can upload emotes, and it's just a lot more fun. I don't even use Whatsapp anymore. I'd rather text people than use Whatsapp for all intense and purposes. Discord also uses bots and I don't think Whatsapp does.

For me, the main feature that separates Jitsi from other is the way how I can host a meeting. I can have both a public room as well as a secure private room with a password.

  • All in all, jitsi has made the communication between team members easy. Hosting a small meeting is not that difficult so people wo are working from home do not hesitate to start a meet whenever they feel needed.
  • Remote working is not possible without proper communication and jitsi has been used for communication in my organization. So, it has been a very usefull tool for us.
