Viber, now from Rakuten (acquired 2014) is an instant messaging and cross-platform VoIP software solution designed for personal use and available for both desktops and as a mobile app. It includes features such as video and audio calls, instant message, and unlimited-member group chats. Users can also make paid international calls.
End-to-end encryption scrambles my messages and delivers them as a scrambled code to my friend's device, whether mobile or desktop, so that only their device can decode them into plain text. If my friend's phone is turned off or they don't have access to the internet, my …
Rakuten Viber is overall the best. Hands down!!! Even though the other products have their own use and they are well functioning in the market, but Rakuten Viber is still top notch!
It's faster than all of above, better for cross platform communication and unlike the above examples (Skype for Business and Slack), not directly tied to organization. Its other alternative (not listed on TrustRadius) is WhatsApp, which, in my opinion is a copy of Viber. Viber …
I do not know about other products like Viber. Viber works fine on your cell phone and you can also install it on your laptop or desktop. In general I use Viber on my mobile.
Viber comes close to WhatsApp with its similar features, that said, I still prefer WhatsApp as more friends and coworkers use it. I prefer to use Slack for my other profession as a remote English teacher as it allows me to get notifications in a format that avoid annoying …
Skype's user interface is really glitchy and doesn't provide same functionality in terms of fun elements - emojis or gifs. Slack is excellent communication tool but as well doesn't provide fun elements as Viber does(emojis, memes, gifs and more). I should also mention that …
We started using Viber many years ago. The WhatsApp application was good to connect with people via text messages but it did not have the calling feature. Free calls could be made using Viber. Hence, it was used as a mode of communication within our group. Viber could also be …

Chose Rakuten Viber
Viber is really bad compared to Slack. It is not designed for business at all.
I have compared Viber to Skype in the past, and there are two main differences I see. First, with Skype, you are not limited to calling only other Skype users (this limitation exists with Viber). Second, Skype's call quality almost always wins, which I believe is thanks to Skype…
Before Viber, we were using Slack. Our colleagues were using Slack only at work. But Viber is used for personal needs too. That is why we switched to Viber because we can reach to our colleagues anytime and from anywhere.
Better pricing than Skype. Skype has a better platform. Skype really excels in terms of video conferencing capability, the quality of image and the platform is clearly better than Viber. Viber and Skype have been in the market for a while, yet no one relies on Viber for video …
We evaluated Whatsapp and Line as 2 other tools alongside with Viber and finally decided to go ahead with Viber since we found Viber's call quality especially on international calls to be really clear and much better without any disconnections or static when we compared it with …
Skype has UI problems and makes the fun elements such as emojis and gifs hard to use. Slack is a good communication tool but has again less fun elements and is more work-oriented so it doesn't contribute a lot to a fun working atmosphere. Whatsapp was never even in the game …
Skype offers similar communication features as Viber, but Viber is more convenient as it uses the phone number as contact details. So instead of having to remember the user id, you just need to add your business partner's contact number and you have their viber already. Al, o …
While comparing these two applications with the Viber, I would say, the main advantage of the Viber is that it is very widely used in my region unlike other two. Otherwise, the functionality and other stuff are pretty much the same, while I slightly go for the Viber's voice …
