Why do businesses choose Workadi?

Easy-to-use Instant Messaging

These days it feels like everyone is re-inventing business instant messaging in order to sell you a new way of doing the same old thing. Workadi's user interface is simple and easy to use, ensuring employees aren't wasting time having to learn a new tool.

Group Chats

Organize many-to-many group chats by location, department, or whatever makes sense for you. Persistent group chats help you create a shared knowledge center ensuring your company stays in sync regardless of where everyone is physically located.

File and Image Sharing

Leverage Workadi's iOS and Android clients to securely share pictures. Drag and drop documents into chat windows from the desktop. You can even send short voice clips from mobile devices when you're on-the-go and can't easily type.

Desktop Notifications

Workadi supports a diverse array of notification options to ensure your employees will never miss a message. Show alerts near your clock, play sounds, flash windows in your task bar, or even create custom notification rules.

Centralized Administration

Stay in control of who is allowed to use Workadi and what features they're allowed to utilize with centralized administration. As new employees are onboarded they automatically appear on everyone else's contact list.

Workadi SMS Landline Texting

You have a landline that your customers already know. As an optional add-on, Workadi SMS enables it for texting so that you can send and receive texts right from your computer! Learn more about Workadi SMS.

We have teams on three continents collaborating on a daily basis, and Workadi's ease of use is instrumental in allowing us to easily work together. As a leader of support teams, I also enjoy the admin tools and resulting level of control Workadi gives me.

Encryption at Rest and In Transit

All connections to Workadi are encrypted using TLS 1.2+. Additionally, data is encrypted at rest at both the disk level (using technologies like BitLocker and LUKS) and the file level (using database-specific encryption methods).

Optional On-Premises Deployment

We're one of the few remaining companies fully committed to on-prem solutions: you can run your own Workadi Server behind the firewall on your own hardware if you so desire, ensuring total ownership of company communications.

Customizable Data Retention Periods

Want an ephemeral communication system? No problem: you can configure Workadi to never persist chat history or shared media on disk, sacrificing some usability for iron-clad guarantees as to where your communications live.

Presence and Unread Indicators

Track multiple conversations with tabbed chatting. Contact status and unread message counts are available at a glance.

Enhanced Messaging

Insert emoji, images, voice clips, files, and configurable text snippets.

Group Chats

Bring teams together in many-to-many group conversations. Group chats persist on the server to give your company a shared knowledge center for both presence and future employees.

Frequently asked questions

My company already uses the free version of Workadi. What do we gain by switching to Workadi for Business?

In a nutshell, features and control. New employee accounts will automatically appear on the contact list, centralized chat history gives you insight into employee communication, and strict policy control lets you disable features according to company policy. Businesses also gain access to a chat bot, the Workadi API, optional on-premises deployment, and more.

What is the difference between the cloud and the on-premises Workadi Server option?

With cloud, our servers power your chat network, and with on-premises, you run your own Workadi Server on hardware under your control. In both cases you are free to download and install client software on your own machines: Workadi supports native desktop client software! In addition, our mobile and web-based products are both compatible with the on-prem Workadi Server.
