Ryver Vs Slack: Which Pla?orm Made Collaboration Simple! 17 Jun '2019 Vyshnavi Basuthkar We knew that you have already read few a?icles from our Troop Messenger blog-store on Slack alternatives.   So far we have made comparison blogs on Slack vs Microso? Teams, Slack vs Yammer, Slack vs Discord, etc., to make you understand the insights of both the tools.   Having said that, we have added one more to our store, and that is Slack vs Ryver.     Table of Contents  Introduction of Both Tools Ge?ing Sta?ed Conversation (Messaging, audio, video call) Integrations Task Management Channels vs Forum Pricing Suppo?

2.   Introduction of Both Tools   Ryver The USP of business messaging applications is -Interact less and collaborate more. Among the plethora of such tools, Ryver stands tall both in terms of cost and e?ciency. This tool ranks as one of the most searched out one across the USA for its fame.   Pat Sullivan, CEO of Ryver Team Communication says Ryver has been specially designed for teams, enterprises, IoT networks with solid features of security embedded. The Ryver website o?ers live chat suppo? for all its users to answer a wide array of user queries in order to provide smooth communication across teams.   Slack Slack brings teams together to make them communicate on project discussions, task updates, delivery deadlines and to asce?ain quite a lot more daily o?ce routines. It is launched in the year 2013 by Stewa? Bu?e?ield. Slack is an acronym which expands to “Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge”, but across continents, it is widely known as Slack.   Slack stands as a best collaborative so?ware that moves work forward across teams in the organizations.   Ge?ing Sta?ed   Ryver Ryver comes with a free 14-day fully functional trial to create a new Ryver organization. Whoever is interested to be a pa? of Ryver can join by Clicking on the ‘Sta? for Free’, tab on their website home page to get registered to the application. It insists the users ?ll up the registration form with the basic details and valid email id to send a veri?cation mail.   The new users will also be receiving a direct message through the mail from Eddy Bot to help them get great Ryver experience. This free trial lets the admin add unlimited users, with provision for extending usage a?er the trial period by contacting the Suppo? Team.   Slack  Slack would de?nitely be a great choice to opt when it comes to the team collaboration across small and medium-sized companies, as it allows its free trial for an unlimited amount of time, though with a depleted set of features. Slack users can directly login to the application with their workspace name.   The project name users give at the time of the Sign-up process is seen as a channel on the home page of Slack inte?ace. Slack users have the privilege to switch between the workspaces from within the inte?ace itself.   Our Verdict: The Signup process of Ryver seems to be a li?le confusing and tedious when compared to Slack.   Conversation (Messaging, audio, video call)    Ryver  Conversations in Ryver happens through direct messaging, Teams and Forums. The “Sta? Here”, roster tab which is seen on the home-page makes the users chat visible to all organization members and guests. To have endless chat conversations among team members, the admin is allowed to add people to the organization by sending them an invite to join Ryver.  

3. Ryver facilitates the users to create Forums and Teams to interact dynamically on a wide range of projects and tasks. The Roster “Sta? Here”, the tab shows “JOINED ORG ADMINS, JOINED MEMBERS and BOTS” at the right panel of the home page to easily identify the list of admins and members.   Messaging can take place across;   Ryver’s Forums - Members and guests join the conversations to pa?icipate and view activity.   Teams  - allow only team members to pa?icipate and view activity.  Ryver says, “Private teams are a great way to have a group of people focus on a project, topic or assignment”.Ryver allows voice and video calls across direct messaging, teams and forums.     Slack  Messaging across Slack takes place through direct messages, channels, and threads. The users can directly interact with Slackbot for all kinds of help/assistance.   If in case it couldn’t answer the user queries, it will search for the help center to assist them fu?her.   The sender can open the chat window of the recipient user from the member's list to initiate a one-on-one conversation with the chat suppo? features of ;   Add reaction Share link A?ach ?les   Star message   Delete message  Mark unread   Show conversation details   Voice and video calls  Conversation se?ings and many more.   Our Verdict: Conversations across Slack and Ryver happens through messaging, audio and video call.
