If you run a business and are concerned with security regarding your messaging, then today’s app review is for you.
VIPole Secure Messenger from VIPole International LP gives you the ability to send encrypted messages to team members. After using this app, I would consider VIPole Secure Messenger more of service. This is a basically a cross platform network that allows you to send messages from mobile devices or desktop computers.
The basic service is free but there are paid/monhtly plans that provide more options. You can see the breakdown over on their website. I was provided a pro account to test for this review.
The app is easy to install and use. It will not interfere with your current apps or phone functions, as it is its own system. You can also turn on/off the app whenever you need to.
When you first start you will need to setup a username and password. Each user will also have a secret phrase. Now this secret phrase is critical as it will be needed whenever you want to modify options or access the app.
If you watch the promo video, you will see that the app does all the encryption in the background-you do not need to set anything. The key for this system to work is that those whom you are sending encrypted messages to are also on VIPole.
Within VIPole you will have a list of contacts and it will indicate if they are online or not. This is where the network comes in. For a business or organization, this is a very good security tool. Only users on your VIPole contact this can receive your encrypted messages. If you need to want someone to the list, they need to have already created a VIPole account.
I really liked this feature – being able to see if a user is online or not can definitely help business get stuff done in a timely manner.
When you are in the VIPole Secure Messenger app, you will have the ability to modify your network account information, set up hidden contacts, view your message history, and edit numerous aspects of your account security.
So far I have mentioned encrypted messaging, but there are more options. You can send encrypted files, video chats, file transfers, voice mails, and more.
VIPole Secure Messenger works well. You can communicate securely between phones or PCs. The system is ideal for a business that want their communications secure between selected individuals. It is very user friendly and ready to go, once it is installed. There is a free option, which allow you try to it before expanding.
If you need or want to have encrypted messaging, then VIPole Secure Messenger is a viable option.
