Het meest veilige samenwerkingsplatform.
4.7/5 (44 review)Pluspunten
I like it because it works much better than other communication tools we used in the past, it allows us to be permanently connected and work in collaborative groups, it is software that offers improved internal co-communication.
Minpunten
The Android app can sometimes present instability.
As an early Wire (personal) adopter and a vocal supporter (I want to say Ambassador), I may be a bit biased. Still, I strongly believe everyone deserves a fully secure communication platform and there must be no compromise on that - Wire proves it's possible.
I have successfully converted more than a couple dozens users to Wire - and we never looked back.
Pluspunten
First and most of all, Wire is all about security. Full E2E encryption for all the services it provides - messaging, voice, video. There are no compromises here and if security is a top priority, you don't have to look further.
As far as I know, they are already doing some post-quantum cryptography experimenting, which is really impressive.
Did I mention they are 100% Open Source? Did I say the voice quality is absolutely fantastic?
Minpunten
Not a lot of things I can say I don't like - basically for private usage the only issue is adoption, as the competition is very hard (not that I find any of the competitors good) and most people base the adoption on the number of people already on the platform.
For business usage, I would say that it has everything that most people would want - yeah, including gifs, but it's always hard to adopt a new tool/software for the team, especially a communication platform.
Not loving it, sometimes really frustrated by it, but it works just well enough to keep around. I don't know of any secure messaging alternatives that work any better...
Pluspunten
Our organization works with vulnerable communities and needs to be able to communicate securely so we've been looking for an encrypted alternative to Slack for some time now. Wire seemed like the closest fit in terms of the features we wanted: custom "channels" the ability to include some people outside of the org, silo'ed information, and secure group calling. It hasn't been spectacular at any of those things, but it hasn't been terrible either.
Minpunten
Wire is a pretty new product and it shows. The calls frequently drop, or some people's audio won't connect, etc. etc. Calls generally have to be limited to just a 3-4 people or the quality degrades even further. Our plan to use it as a communication tool with communities has been shelved indefinitely while we wait for some upgrades. In the meantime, our team mostly uses it text each other, which has been a significant improvement over email, but not quite as functional or intuitive as Slack channels. Nevertheless, it seems to be the best thing we've got so we're sticking with it for the time being.
For now, it is a great app as it is highly recommended by a not for profit organisation that cares for personal privacy and security.
Pluspunten
Security and Privacy and ease of use. Also, the options to sign up either by phone number or an email.
Minpunten
Unsure of making bots to prevent sharing suspicious links or prohibiting calls to unknown users.
We like Wire a lot because of the end-to-end encryption, we as a hotel deal a lot with sensitive data of clients to make them feel comfortable during the stay. In order to do this we use Wire across different platforms like on desktop in the reception and on mobile with all our staff. Wire makes it easy to communicate in a modern way via messenger by not needing to think about if the data is protected well enough.
Pluspunten
Our main pros we like about Wire are the end-to-end encryption, the fact Wire offers apps for all platforms and gives us the opportunity to communicate across these. Audio quality is very good compared to other solutions or regular phone calls.
Minpunten
We noticed some bugs during our use but they also got resolved pretty fast by the team.
Pluspunten
I'm the Principal Investigator of an NIH funded research study using Wire to deliver group therapy via text and video-calls to people with a serious mental illness. So far, participants and staff have greatly enjoyed the interface, its innovative features, and the user experience in general. In particular, the group video-conferencing feature allows for smooth and high-quality group calls from mobile devices. In summary, the software has exceeded our expectations in terms of reliability and functionality.
Minpunten
If I were to pick one area that could be improved, it would probably be the option to easily download and securely archive existing text-based group conversations, which isn't currently available. However, it is my understanding that Wire has plans to develop this feature moving forward.
Pluspunten
We´re now faster in internal communication. We like most, that we are able to have different streams and can send layouts and easily assess ist.
Minpunten
The Mac Version (Desktop) need some updates in design und functionality.
Pluspunten
I love WIRE because it allows our team to communicate easily and securely. We are a new team and decentralized across a lot of different countries so we needed something to replicate an 'office space' - somewhere to have quick conversations with the right people; somewhere to share files and sometimes jokes; and somewhere to share documents with easy encryption. WIRE did all of these things for us and ore.
Minpunten
Because our IT system is pretty locked down we have issues with automatic updates running smoothly in our system - resulting in a pretty much dysfunctional app. Instead we need to use the browser version.
It has been a great product as something that is very similar to Slack without all of the weird publicity. Slack has seen some issues recently with identity and I think Wire has much more flexibility and integrity. I trust them.
Pluspunten
I love that this software is always up to date and helps me reach my work team at all times of the day. You can set it up through an app on your phone and always be nearby for work emergencies. I also appreciate that it is an encrypted software that allows us to have conversations without fear of it being hacked in to or stolen.
Minpunten
I think that this software could have a wider selection of gifs and images for use in conversations. I know that seems a bit silly in a work environment but many of us express ourselves through gifs and memes.
We are organizing a distributed Team with high expactiations to security and usability especially with regards to group text chat. These expectations were completely satisfied.
Pluspunten
- Great call and video quality
- Highly Secure Architecture
Minpunten
- UI is a bit messy, especially with lots of contacts
- Calls a are somethimes Buggy to establish, especially with multi-device usage
For me it is ideal for brief contacts with my patients improving their satisfaction
Pluspunten
End-to-end encryption, independency of SIM-Card, cross-platform usability, Synchronization of messages, all-in-one-backups => safety and transfer to other devices is easy, multiple accounts in one app, lack of advertisements
Minpunten
Compared to other messengers, there were no disadvantages
I had really good experience and never faced any issue. The only suggestion is if some working can be done on its price as its a bit pricey.
Pluspunten
Very easy and user friendly and easy to communicate on individual and group basis as both facilities are available.
Minpunten
A bit costly as compared to the work requirement
Pluspunten
Wire is a great example of well developed security messaging. The UI is beautiful and the security does not drag down the ease of use of the software. This is a prime example of engineers knowing how to balance usability and security.
Well I can easily contact my partners and it is clear in display.
Pluspunten
Time efficient easy to set-up and use. Very simple
Minpunten
I don't really recall anything that I am not happy with just yet.
For a regulated crypto assets exchange data privacy is of utmost importance. Wire assures us fully encrypted communication and gives us and our clients top level security.
Luka Gubo, CEO
Pluspunten
Ease of use, strong encryption, good call quality (audio and video)
Minpunten
Limited number of callers on encrypted video call
Thank you, Luka! Increasing the number of participants in a video call is definitely something we plan to work on in the future.
Pluspunten
The end to end encryption of the platform is great. The app is super easy to use, and adding new features is building on the capabilities for our remote team structure.
Minpunten
The app seems to take up a lot of space and can slow down other software when in use. We also would love a larger group video option as it currently only allows up to 4. If we can consolidate all of our comms needs into the one platform, that would be best, but we currently have to rely on other platforms for larger conversations.
We use Wire at SiteSquad.com to chat and collaborate quickly and securely every day. It's become our go-to over email or SMS. I highly recommend it to any individual or company looking to take their communication to a higher level of security.
Pluspunten
+Encrypted chat
+File sharing
+Screen sharing
+Multi-device support
Minpunten
-Somewhat steep learning curve
-Cannot screen-share with control
Hi Sam, thanks for the review! Please email [email protected] if you need Pro-level support, we noticed you found the support experience lacking.
Pluspunten
It works very well light, safe, calls that are not cut, minimalist and pleasant interface, does not need phone number and, of course, free
Minpunten
I would only ask for a way to backup the chats and then restore
Hi Leyniker,
Thank you very much for the positive review. Regarding backups, this is very much possible!

Pluspunten
Wire is a great way to contact employees about a variety of tasks. It is great because it is encrypted so you can discuss work related matters in a more secure way.
Minpunten
Wire is pretty slow and sending photos in chats.
Secured Chat System. Quickly and Easy communicate with business staff from anywhere!
Pluspunten
Ease of use and security (Top Priority) ... User friendly and conveniently accessible across all platforms makes it a must have! Customer service has been top notch and completely transparent when it comes to service patches and more!
Minpunten
Business aspects are pretty limited with Teams currently. There are several key features that need to be created for this to be a complete business chat system.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We are glad to hear that Wire's security and convenience is to your satisfaction. We are continuously adding features to improve Wire to make it a must-have business collaboration tool. We are all ears to hear what features you would like to see in the future.
Pluspunten
I'm delighted with this messenger - it's robust, minimalist, extremely functional and devoid of meaningless features (stickers, games and other nonsense), and recently I found that @wire offers substantial reductions for educational institutions - a special thanks for that.
Minpunten
None. Everything is great. It is the first messenger I can recommend and which fully satisfies my requirements. It's just as well done for both Mac and Windows
My overall experience with the app is that you can share privately and conduct business without a hassle and the most important feature is that you can not screenshot anyone's messages.
Pluspunten
The most that I love about this app is that is private and also great for business and speaking with family members. I literally have everyone that is in my immediate circle using wire and look forward to staying on the app as long as the quality stays the same.
Minpunten
There isn't anything least that I personally don't like as of now. I just hope the video quality keeps improving.
Have been using Wire for both personal and business use - and it's been great from the start! Communicating with work colleagues is, not only fast, but easy to track and to send important information. And knowing that it is fully-encrypted is a huge confidence builder!
Pluspunten
The layout and ease of use! The business/ enterprise edition has features that great for communicating with co-workers and even customers. It's like having messaging (private and public), webcasts, document sharing, and "FaceTime" all together! Oh and the best-in-class security features!
Minpunten
The "homepage" - needs to have an initial start page to see an overview of everything at first.
Wire is a good and secure Messenger so it is perfect for companies. The surface is easy to understand, it doesnt need that much time to start chats with your colleagues.
Pluspunten
Easy of use, user friendly, very good encryption, good call quality
Minpunten
-
It has been good at providing us with the necessary security for sending vulnerable information, but the app needs further development. It leaves a lot to be desired.
Pluspunten
Wire provides the user with a secure messaging platform, so it is necessary for sending sensitive information.
Minpunten
Wire is not a great product, it performs the necessary functions (security) but is shaky. Calls should not have more than 3 people if you want quality, and it seems like there could be more functions or adding.
Wire is a tool that allows me to keep in touch directly with my work teams, having the possibility of making voice calls, organizing video meetings, chatting with some employees personally and putting together chat groups according to the project in which each team works, It helps us save a lot of time because it keeps us connected at all times by allowing us to exchange documents and information instantly.
