Element, Jitsi, even Threema business... Hell even Telegram has way more usable (and dare i say one of the best records in terms of stability of cross-platform clients along the years).
Now i get why in a company environment one wouldn't use free services from matrix/discord or telegram, but at the same time there are self-hosted options or cloud ones that are relatively cheap and still way better than MS/Zoom.A company choosing a service because of promotional plans from big corporations is not a good deal, it's a red flag.

IME, Element is slow, buggy, and most of the time just refuses to launch telling me I'm "offline" (a quick peek at Developer Tools shows it is connecting to the home-server fine). I always groan when I have to open Element to do something. Telegram's UX is amazing.
- sebow 5y agoWell once again I agree, Telegram has been the gold-standard of how a client implementation of an IM app should be done in Qt(frankly it blows everything else that exists as far as I know).To explain why i said that particular phrase is because some might jump with the 'telegram privacy' argument which somewhat is a legitimate one when it comes to messaging in a company environment, whereas Element gives the option of connecting to a self-hosted instance.
