Overall Satisfaction with Viber
Viber is used between colleagues. It is used for communication outside of the office, as well as informal video conferencing sessions. It also is used to informally share files and documents to a larger group of people. As it can be installed on one's computer and used on one's phone through the app, it offers extra convenience for those who are also doing jobs remotely and who may be traveling at times.
- Sharing high-quality jpegs.
- Offering video conferences.
- It is used by a smaller audience than its competitor, WhatsApp.
- The filesharing size is relatively small.
- Viber has facilitated remote communication between me and my co-workers.
- It has created a convenient way for small-size file sharing.
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 "chain messages".
