    I think this would depend on what they are looking for in an intranet service and how big their company is.

    Signal is great for high-security applications where privacy is a concern, perhaps because of the sensitive nature of the materials being communicated. For instance, if you are sending sensitive information about a film that hasn't been released yet, and you want to make sure that paparazzi and fans don't get access to spoiler information, Signal is a great way to communicate.

    Pros
    Intranet Connections
    • Ability to customize the platform to really fit the needs of what you're looking for. How we use it is different than how another organization uses it.
    • It's easy to get ahold of technical support and ask questions from a high level (i.e. about how to make it work better for the organization) or a granular level (i.e. how to improve something for a specific employee).

    I've never contacted support but I see that they are on the ball for bug fixes, highly communicative in release notes, and continually releasing updates to Signal that address common user complaints. Given how responsive the development team is, and how they are continually improving Signal, I think their support is top notch.

    Signal is far and away better and more feature-rich. Skype is no longer the app it used to be before Microsoft acquired it, and WhatsApp, while trying to be much like Signal with claims, has too many features that lead to a sense of insecurity as it's too widely used and used for too many things.

    Return on Investment
    Intranet Connections
    • The workflow when building forms doesn't allow for when someone is out of the office for it to flow to another manager. We would have to create a drop-down and have the employee select who it needs to go to for approval. Would be nice if the systems administrator could be able to change the approver and then resend the item for approval. At this time the employee would have to resubmit or the admin would have to email the current item for approval or we would have to impersonate this individual to approve.

    • Communication is crucial to accomplishing our mission
    • Cost of similar commercial apps could be very prohibitive
