Discord Reviews

Summary: Overall, if there support and security was better, I would leave it a higher review and actively enjoy the service. Currently, if there was a decent alternative for community interactions I would be interested in switching..

Positive: Discord has a great user interface, solid minor file sharing abilities and provides a great service to interact with one's staff and general user stakeholders. The program is incredibly easy to get started using and quickly enables the creation of communities for projects or products.

Negative: My biggest gripe with this program is its user support, or simply put the lack thereof. For example, as a paying subscriber to their premium options, my registered, phone and email verified account was flagged as a bot for no stated reason and upon contacting support received no clear way to rectify the issue, no explanation for why the account was flagged, no support in terms of being able to contest this or try to return my account. I received minimal communication which more or less just stated that they believed I was a bot and then refused further communications for a long period. This is just one of the many stories I have of their complete ineptitude at customer support, as someone who runs a community for a moderately sized project this is unacceptable but no other similar enough tool exists to replace it at the moment.
The pricing for premium features has also become increasingly unreasonable over the years.
There is also a significant number of security threats and scam users on the platform which the organization does seem to be trying to combat but the effects of that I have seen are mixed.

Summary: Discord is a nice additional product.
We currently use Slack for our chat system as the external product integration is better.
Otherwise Discord is a must have in a company if you need the push to talk room.

Positive: Easy Push to talk room.
Nice room creating with plenty of features.
Easy bot integration.
Access right granular enough.
Screen sharing is simple and efficient.

Negative: When multiple team members share their webcam the CPU usage is just appalling.

Summary: I've used this for over a year now. It worked well for what I needed it to do then, but I've moved on to other software since then that have more features. Discord was originally intended as a program for gamers to share content and chat, and it shows. While many are working toward expanding features as more and more people have to work or go to school from home, Discord lags behind in features and quality. It's still decent, but it doesn't compare to what else is out there now. It's best suited for what it was made for, and that's not really a bad thing. Could be better with some minor tweaks and added features, but it's decent as is.

Positive: It's easy to set up channels, moderate content and users. Audio is alright, video quality is acceptable. There's a light and dark mode, and it's compatible across all devices, making it useful to use on the go. You can have a large number of users per server and plenty of channels. There is a channel limit, but most users would not likely hit it. Channels can be organized by categories as well.

Negative: The character limit on this isn't great. You can't get much out before you've hit the limit. Basic things like uploading gifs and anything but the smallest of files require a paid account. There are other software out there that let you do those things for free. Sorting through information and keeping track of anything is a pain, even with pins. Screen sharing isn't all that great either, which is ironic given the software's original purpose. No threaded comments either. Not a big deal, but having them would be nice.

Summary: This platform has played a significant and really important role for my entire company, mainly because it has helped me to have constant and much more diversified communication within my company. All the work teams have had a new communication channel within this platform, and this has helped us to be able to divide each of the work teams so that they have much more direct communication. Another feature that I really liked is that this platform provides totally stable communication at all times. In addition, I can use any mobile device or any computer to communicate with my entire work team. This platform has really provided absolute communication for my entire technology company, and this has helped us to have better interaction and better teamwork. I am very grateful for the results provided by this platform and the communication benefits that it has brought me for a long time.

Positive: There are several things that I like about this platform, mainly due to the high communication that it has provided for me and my company. The things that I have liked the most have been:

1- With the help of this platform, I have been able to maintain a much more versatile and broad communication within my work team and within my entire company. With the help of this platform, I have been able to create a channel where all my employees can access and communicate with each other. It is important to highlight that I have loved the way in which I can create new chat rooms within this channel. This allows me to divide the work teams. This means that the marketing team and the sales team will be able to communicate separately and thus be able to have an order within the members of each communication channel. I love the way in which I can organize all my employees in different channels.

2- Another feature that I liked is that this platform provides me with unbeatable quality in video and audio transmissions. Each communication channel has the ability for one of the members to transmit the screen of their device, or use their camera. It is important to highlight the excellent quality with which this process is carried out. The video quality is quite noticeable and surpasses any other communication platform.

3- I also liked that this platform has a real-time chat service. In this way, all members of a communication channel can communicate with each other and share all kinds of ideas, information or data. The channel works in real time, each of the messages are reflected in real time, and this helps to maintain constant communication. The chat is also interactive, since it allows you to send any type of stickers, emojis, images, or videos.

4- The way Discord works on mobile devices is also something I should highlight, as this platform provides me with a mobile app, it is quite complete and offers background operation which helps to maintain communication while I perform other tasks on my device.

Negative: I will mention the things that I did not like about Discord:

1- The first thing I did not like is that even though this platform allows you to transfer or upload any type of file within any communication channel, there is a limit on the weight of the file that you can upload to this Chat channel, I am quite negative, as it greatly limits the quality of the images. As well as it greatly limits the maximum weight that you can use for each file or document that you want to share with your colleagues, I would love for this weight limit for each of the files to be much more extensive so that I can transfer or share files with my colleagues in a much higher way.

2- Another thing I didn't like about this platform is that even though you can create specific channels for all types of company sectors, and thus divide the teams, you can't modify the general interface of each of the communication channels previously created for your work team. It would be amazing to be able to modify the general interface of a created channel, so we can modify the interface of the Team Chat, and much more.

3- Even though the screen broadcasts that are made within each communication channel are made through a fairly good video quality, I didn't like the fact that this video quality can't be reduced, since this video quality depends a lot on having a good Internet connection at all times to enjoy a fluidity in this video broadcast. Therefore, if you plan to make a video broadcast on one of the channels you have created, you must make sure that it has a fairly good Internet connection.

Summary: Discord has managed to improve general communication within our entire company, thanks to this platform we have been able to create a Discord channel for our company, we also created sub-channels to be used by the different areas of our company separately, so that the The marketing area works separately from the sales area, each group of employees can communicate individually thanks to these channels that we have created. I loved the experience obtained with Discord, it really is a platform but it has a fairly extensive benefit, stable communication between several people, groups of employees can communicate freely, be on a voice call without worrying about any kind of interruption within that call, they can share ideas or messages within Discord messaging. Discor also allows you to receive and send direct messages, I loved that a lot.

Positive: The first thing I like about the Discord platform is that it is a very easy to use platform, you can easily connect with anyone, and you can join any call that is being made in any of the groups created within any of the channels. in which you are joined, you can turn on the camera during that call, you can interact through the various chats that exist within each channel. Another positive thing is that discord allows you to create a custom channel, you can add Bots within each Discord channel, you can customize the sub-channels, you can view a live stream within each Discord channel, also, I love being able to use Discord on background, this way I can use other apps while communicating with different people within Discord. I love the general interface of Discord, it helps a lot that it's comfortable and easy to use, plus there is no limit to the number of channels you can join.

Negative: The first negative aspect is that Discord has a lot of features that were only available using a Nitro version, there are a lot of features like stickers, emojis, you can't share a video with such a high weight within Discord channels, you can't share images that have such a high resolution Discord Nitro. I also don't like that Discord doesn't have any kind of free trial for it, its pricing is completely accessible to all users, but I would love a Discord Nitro free trial to exist.

Summary: Discord is a platform that helps me a lot when it comes to communicating openly with different people. I use this platform within my work environment, I also use it for personal purposes, because it provides me with quite extensive and very stable communication, I started using this platform. platform mainly because we need to help communicate openly within the different work groups of our real estate company. It was key to being able to meet in a very simple way, in addition, it was the perfect service to create different communication channels and divide the work groups so that They can have a much more individual communication. In general, I am very happy with the results that I have obtained within Discord, I consider that this platform has an incredible design, that it has provided an unbeatable comfort within my experience, in addition, it has allowed me to share various messages, share content, communicate stable and without interruptions and establish meetings in specific chat channels. Discord has allowed me to edit the roles of the different people who participate in my channel, in this way I can modify the general permissions for each of the members. I find my overall experience within this platform to be amazing, I will continue to use it long term as I believe it has incredible potential to improve overall communication across my entire real estate company.

Positive: Discord is an incredible platform to be able to customize the way you communicate with different people, one of the main positive features that Discord has is that this platform has a long limit when it comes to adding channels, you can join different channels to communicate with different people in the number of channels you join, in addition, there will also be no limits on the number of messages or content that you can share through any communication channel within Discord. Another positive effect that this platform has is that you can completely customize your profile within Discord, this profile can be customized by adding your social networks or primary contact information, in addition, you can also link some third-party applications to the platform so that others can see what are you playing, that you are listening to music or some other activity. Another positive feature that I must highlight about this platform is the video transmission and audio transmission, the Videos transmitted within each communication channel are of a quite good quality, you will be able to configure the transmission quality before starting it, in addition, you will be able to configure each communication channel, you can configure the volume of the audio transmission or the quality in which you want to see a video transmission, it is important to highlight that the video transmission within each channel resources of the device, you can start a transmission from your computer without affecting the performance of your device. Discord also has an excellent notification system, this system allows you to receive alerts every time a new message is shared within a joint communication channel, in addition, it will also send you notifications when you receive a new call request or direct message.

Negative: The first negative thing that I managed to perceive about this platform is that it does not have an extensive limit when it comes to sharing images or Videos within the Chat channels, currently you can share images of very low resolution and with a low weight, in addition, You can share it Videos so extensive, since to access these functions and limits so extensive you must subscribe to a Nitro plan within Discord. It is important to highlight that the plans within this platform are not expensive at all, however, it seems to me something quite negative that people have to pay additional money to share some type of image or video, in addition, users will not be able to share stickers either custom emojis or emojis within Chat channels if you don't have a Nitro subscription, it makes communication and diversification between communication channels quite simple.

Summary: I wouldn't necessarily use Discord for business like projects the same way as Slack, Discord tends to appeal to people in Crypto, Gaming and Entertainment projects or use cases which I think it's good for, and I might categorize it as "Entertainment Productivity"

Positive: Discord is fun, intuitive and quite dynamic.
An advantage to discord is running multiple servers for different purposes, like hosting a voice channel and more.
Although it doesn't work as well, it can also be used for multiple types of projects, including business.

Negative: Discord can be extremely crowded and spammy, more than any other communication tool I've used, Discord can get extremely distracting.

Summary: Discord is quite a complete platform, I am really impressed with the general functionality that it has brought to my company in particular, every time I need to communicate with my work team, I only have to tell them to access the Discord server, in this way by entering a chat channel, I will be able to talk to them in a totally fluid way or if necessary talk to them through video communication. I am very impressed with the innovative results that this platform has provided and with the comfort and experience that I have obtained, it is really very good to use this software, I consider it to be one of the best today to communicate openly with your work team whenever necessary. My experience within Discord has been quite good, I have adapted to the platform quickly, there are still several things to improve like what I mentioned earlier about direct messages, that anyone can send you direct messages and this can be a problem since sometimes they send malicious people, and also the system for sending attachments needs to be improved, since currently the capacity or size of sending is quite limited. I would recommend this platform for any company that is looking to connect their work team much more and make them communicate openly, what kind of platform does not have any type of limits regarding the participants of each server, this helps to create a work team in a matter of seconds.

Positive: Discord is an excellent service to customize all kinds of communication channels and ensure that your company's communication benefits on a large scale, you can also ensure that your work teams can communicate in a very stable and consistent way, and another platform has all the necessary tools to create a fairly complete chat, video and audio channel. One of the main things I liked about this platform are:

1.- Discord has an excellent interface, it is really quite comfortable to use this platform, you can navigate between the different chat channels that you have registered in your account, as well as you can enter any audio channel in a matter of seconds, navigate within This platform is also easy for me regarding the settings, just by accessing the settings you can modify the quality of the audio or video, you can also modify the audio input and many more things, as well as your name within the platform. The interface and has a white background, but you can activate the dark mode so that the platform looks black, it is important to note that you cannot modify the general design of the platform to your liking, that function has not yet been implemented.

2.- I love the audio and video quality with which this platform works, every time I communicate with my work team through a video chat the quality is higher than 1080p, in this way I have been able to communicate fluidly with all my work team, I can visualize them in a very fluid way within the platform, as well as the quality of the audio that this service provides me is impressive, in another thing that when communicating with my work team there is no type of cuts in the audio that is being transmitted.

3.- To use any type of Bot within this platform is quite simple, you can integrate a Bot that helps you create the various channels to launch for your company, as well as you can use a Bot that helps you regulate the entries of new users to your Discord channel. The wide variety of Bots available for a Discord channel is amazing, there is a lot of variety and you will be able to find Bots for absolutely everything.

4.- I love the way this platform works in the background on my mobile device. In another, when it was time to enter a call or an audio chat, I can minimize the platform and continue using my mobile phone with completely normal, staying connected to the audio chat.

5.- The screen sharing also works great, on some occasions I have shared my computer screen or the screen of my mobile device, and all the participants can see this shared screen without any limit, it is impressive.

Negative: In my opinion, Discord is a later complete platform, it offers quite advanced tools to create all kinds of chat channels that help you meet with your work team or with your friends, plus this platform offers a fairly complete and comfortable experience to all users. However, I have also noticed some negative things about this service, such as:

1.- If you want to send an image and this image weighs more than 10 MB, you will have to subscribe to a Discord premium plan, to be able to send images without any type of limit or any type of file or document through the corresponding chat channel, This is something that I really don't like, since it greatly limits the things together that you can send within the chat channels, you can send it for free Files or images that exceed 10 MB.

2.- Every time I go to log in to Discord, I have to approve the login within a link that arrives in my linked email, this has happened to me every time when I try to log in from my computer, when I log in from my mobile device does not have this problem, but it is quite annoying that every time I go to enter from my computer I have to confirm the login from my email, there is no way to disable that function.

3.- One of the main problems that people who use Discord can face is that they cannot disable the function so that you receive direct messages from all over the world, that means that if you join a chat channel, anyone can contact you to the private by sending a direct message, there is no way to disable this and this is a real problem since sometimes some malicious people send you malicious links, I would love to be able to disable that function and have no anonymous person contact me via direct message.

Negative: It can be a little intimidating at first to sort out. Also if you want HD video and audio you need to pay for an upgrade. Otherwise it's all free.

Summary: Discord is the fun, quirky brother of the chat protocols, and it works well for that. Being able to jump between many different discords and link them together is very useful, but for a serious business, it wouldn't be my first choice.
