Ratings and reviews

Security is something you first need to understand. App does what it should do in a secure manner. Its the admin (in your organization) who needs to understand the setup and how to manage, most of all to explain users they are getting a new identity. Then a bit of thinking on user side, then this does exactly what you need. Having an ID instead of a linked phone number is first a little tricky to understand but again there's a reason. Haven't yet worked through all features :-)

Missing group calls!!! Otherwise works well in 80% of cases. In the rest, the call keeps initializing, or the recipient tries to answer in vain. Need to call again and hope it'll work. Usually it does, on the second try.

Poorly supported, but decent if you cope with lack of a fully functional Windows/Mac app. MDM is intuitive, pricing is modest. Seems to be secure, but I don't think I'll pay for another year of service.
