    Slack: Pigeon Messengr isn't as well known but does have many of the same features at a lower price point. Miro: I had actually used Miro in a previous position, but I expressed to my leadership that I very much thought it was the wrong kind of functionality for what we were …

    Pigeon is maybe a bit simpler than Slack, but it's also way easier to use because it's not overloaded with features. With Slack I found it annoying to upload files and I didn't like that we couldn't send gifs. It also had really low-quality emojis. Love the emojis and gifs with …

    These platforms are very similar but I like Pigeon better. I have a few years of experience using Slack from another job and only one year of experience using Piegon Messengr, yet it has already proven to be more worthwhile to use. Pigeon's features are more diverse and they …

    Similar to Slack, but I like Pigeon Messengr better.

    I used Teams in a previous role and definitely find Pigeon Messengr easier to use. Messengr's chat UI is easier to use; it's easier to follow threads and participate in groups. However, as I mentioned previously, I wish the notifications worked better in Pigeon Messengr.

    Great price, great UI, and isn't owned by the evil overlords at Google and Microsoft, etc. Easy to setup and migrate our team to and we were up and running in a single day.

    Pigeon Messengr is the best of all of these apps, rolled into one. Why use 2 or 3 when there's one that does almost everything you need? I will say that depending on your memory and OS, some of these alternatives might run faster than Pigeon Messengr. It has caused a few …

    Pigeon Messengr functions well as a general communication tool. In my experience, the only area it is not well suited for is transferring documents with specialized file formats. I also am not aware of what its auditability is like, but we are using it so it must be there.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Notifications - I can minimize the window while I'm working and new messages will pop up on my screen so I don't have to remember to check the channel.
    • Statuses - we always put up a status of what we're working on, I like how you can hover over user names and it will show you their statuses.
    • Overall look - I don't know if my company chose the color scheme but it's really sharp. Also love that I can use Dark Mode, easier on my eyes for sure!

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Sometimes a message will get broken up and I am unable to view it all at once.
    • It would be nice if it had a way to select a message as being unread. I like to leave messages unread as reminders but sometimes need to just read them first.
    • It won't allow me to upload a picture because it has to be of a very small size. Would be more personal if I could use a picture on my profile.

    Occasionally, files can take forever to upload and download, and the calendar integrations also don't work sometimes.

    Scalability

    I have not noticed any issues for a company of about 400 employees. I imagine the channel functionality would enable fairly unlimited scaling.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • Positive - less time wasted on emails
    • Positive - less expensive than having a chat tool and a video tool (and phones!)
    • Negative - sometimes tone is hard to convey in text, and this has led to a couple of misunderstandings
