Each computer is customized very easily to whom is using the terminal and messages can be stored for long term retrieval. Web links, file data file transfer links, the program fits our needs very well. > > **Cons**: It would be nice to show pictures within the messenger but this is a low request. you can always send a link to the file or web location. I'm sure this prevents excessive resource utilization and helps with the logging of messages. > > Office communication is enhanced. Confidential information can be typed versus verbal communicated around patients. This works very well in our pharmacy where we have multiple rooms and we can refer back to the message for information. ----- ### "This product is used inter office to be able to leave private messages while seeing patients." — 5.0/5 > **DEBORAH** | *8 August 2017* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like using this product instead of calling since patients can hear everything I say due to an open environment. > > **Cons**: It is difficult to add or subtract people we have on the program so the actual setting up and changing is a little harder. > > ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITHOUT CALLING ANYONE ----- ### "Softros LAN messenger" — 5.0/5 > **Teri** | *1 December 2020* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our IT company recommended Softros LAN messenger to solve our intra office communication dilemma. It worked great to be able to message between work stations. I liked that it was always "on" and couldn't really be accidentally closed and therefore leave people unavailable. > > **Cons**: Since our IT company installed the software, I can't really comment on how easy that process was, but I do think that when we wanted to add a workstation, there was a new expense involved. I do think this software was somewhat limited in that it could not be used on cell phones to further expand our ability to communicate. > > We really like this software for what our intended purpose is - to communicate between workstations in an office setting. It is easy to use and has no real issues. ----- ### "It just works" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were using another LAN messenger app and it had constant connection issues. Softros has been rock solid with no connection issues. > > **Cons**: This is paid software, but it really isn't expensive and ultimately you get what you pay for. Other than that I don't have any negatives and I wouldn't even call this a con. > > We use this software in an escape room to allow our players to communicate with the Mad Scientist in the game. With no connection issues we have been able to make our gameplay rock solid. ----- ### "Great Software, Great Value\!" — 5.0/5 > **ED** | *14 August 2018* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Seamless install and functionality. Increased our productivity immediately. > > **Cons**: I wish I had find it sooner, our old software was holding us back. > > Excellent. Works flawlessly. Easy to use. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/450271/Softros-LAN-messenger?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/450271/Softros-LAN-messenger) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
