But the product is always flawed, can not expect each product is cheap and five defects, then for users, the problem is, whether the free IM products can really replace the charge of IM?

7th page: Five big video tools to evaluate who is more cattle

Through the above for five timely communication products analysis, we have seen the different characteristics of the five products, below let us five enterprise instant Messaging products for horizontal comparison, see five products in the same parameters of the performance. We have several parameters to the five real-time communication products for horizontal contrast, through the definition of video, video fluency, video at the same time the number of users online, file sharing functions and supporting the terminal devices in several aspects of analysis.

From the comparison of the data, for the video conferencing dedicated to the meeting in the contrast among the various contrasts, and for QQ and MSN also performed quite well, for the clarity of the video, depending on the high performance of the meeting, Ppmeet performance is also quite good, and QQ 2012 BETA2 is also more robust in video because of the upgraded version, and the sharpness is on the professional software. Then look at the flow of video in terms of how each software performance, in terms of the clarity of the video, five software performance better, the continuous development of video technology, has made the quality of videos has a qualitative leap.

At the same time through the video of the number of people online, depending on the summit to support 8 individuals at the same time online, and QQ followed, online support of 4 people. For MSN and IMO and Ppmeet, the point-to-point video mode is supported respectively. In the file sharing function, IMO is the main cloud storage function, the other four software also support file sharing function, while the IMO in the function of small wins, excellent office experience and document processing ability to make IMO more suitable for the office atmosphere of the enterprise. Finally, let's take a look at the support of the device, five software performance, Ppmeet in the support of the equipment because of the world's first support for Windows 8 video conferencing software, in addition to supporting the mainstream of the three operating systems (windows/ios/ Android) also supports Linux operating systems.

If the enterprise staff's freedom of movement is high, then choose a strong video conferencing in the view of the meeting is a more ideal choice. But if the enterprise culture atmosphere is more rigorous, it is recommended to choose IMO as a tailor-made business instant messaging tool.

Page 8th: Analysis of the status of free instant Messaging products

After looking at the top five free instant messenger products, we can not help but send a question, it seems that enterprise instant Messaging products and video conferencing products have a lot in common, but the focus will be different, for QQ and MSN, such as instant messaging products are more focused on consumer groups, but because the user's most extensive coverage, So in the enterprise employees are also widely used, but because of their own more entertaining and can not be promoted within the enterprise, and even some companies strictly prohibit the use of QQ and MSN inside. Although Tencent has launched the "Enterprise version of QQ", but it is not free to the enterprise users open, which is accustomed to the "free software" users are still a little behind. So, for instant messaging products, what are the drawbacks that can not be avoided and cause enterprise-class users can not use it?

For products such as QQ and MSN, their own entertainment is strong, for the enterprise demand higher video voice is still very weak, although QQ 2012 has launched a group of video functions, but still can not support a one-to-many mode and video switching function. And the security of the transmitted data can not be effectively protected. In the chat record management is not enough, keep the time is not long, can not be saved in the enterprise internal servers, which for the enterprise staff is a disadvantage, which makes the enterprise staff to pull out important chat records can not be timely response. Another common phenomenon in instant messaging products is the limitations of file transfer, in QQ or MSN for file transmission size has strict boundaries, and in the enterprise, a large number of file transfer is unavoidable, if the use of QQ chat tools will hinder the normal business office needs of employees. At first we stressed the entertainment of QQ and MSN, so in its interface will be implanted a lot of ads, which for the company's office staff too much advertising to make office efficiency greatly discounted.

For the above several issues, we can see that for enterprise-class users, the use of QQ and MSN does have a lot of limitations. So for the aforementioned IMO, depending on the high conference platform and ppmeet of the three kinds of free tailored software for the enterprise is more suitable for the use of enterprise staff, in the function is more relevant to the needs of enterprises, including documents, office suites support, no entertainment page layout, More systematic document management and support for large file transfer and so on to provide enterprise users with more professional protection. But users in the process will still have some questions, clearly is free software why some modules also have to charge another, this is the user's one of the biggest doubt. For free software, the unprofitable model is indeed some too loss, if not the support of advertising, then the free model will make it difficult for developers to maintain normal business operations. That is why the introduction of a fee for some modules.
