Trying this is a pure waste of time.

Pros:

None so far

Cons:

Another rebrand of an existing product by Microsoft, another clone, yet something for old enterprise that thinks that Slack is for Hipsters.

Has some neat features built in that if your on office 365 I'm sure it's even more awesome. For everyone else I'm not sure. Android app seems solid, quick and logical.
Ina Yosun Chang
Why is the name so weird? (Hard to spell. Autocorrects to crap.)

Interesting to see Microsoft target Asian markets with a hybrid of Slack and WhatsApp business 💼💬
Anna Filou
@amrith how does this specifically target Asian markets?
Amrith
@anna_0x since this is mobile-first I think they're doubling down on focusing on India and Asia mainly. Lot of major Indian companies and even the railway authorities are adapting this: https://news.microsoft.com/en-in...

@amrith @anna_0x Looking at the URL, it's in the "en-in" market (India). If you change the URL to "en-us" to see it in their US geo, it's not there. So definitely looks like a product targeted for specific regions, at least India if not more broadly the Asian market.

Tasks planner looks interesting. Could potentially even see it competing with trello with an integration into 365 & outlook.

Interesting to see how Microsoft will position this is product compared to what they already have (Teams, Group Me...). This looks like a WeChat/Telegram competitor.

Is the app name derived from "Kai Jhala?" (Marathi)? The English translation for "Kai Jhala" means "What Happened", very much what the app does I guess

I was wondering what's the value prop of Kaizala when you compare it with other apps (both network and internet based)? Apologies, if this has already been explained somewhere.

This product helps to maintain good interaction with customers or audience. This is how an organization can make use of Microsoft kaizala: https://blog.grabon.in/grabon-on...

I am using Kaizala for last three months. I run a group with 500 odd people, and it is ready to go big. It is one of the best messaging apps both for private and team use. The number of users it can hold in a group is just remarkable. In every respect, it is better than the alternatives for me. Some of the top features include no storage limits, functional design, end-to-end encrypted chats, extra functionality like cards where one can add training module, polls, quiz, and many more.

Pros:

From simple messaging to creating groups/channels. A complete communication app. Simple, can hold a huge number of members

Cons:

Nothing negative about it till date.

I am loving this app, especially the feature where I get to play games and be a part of nearby groups. However, can this app hold an entire organisation into it, as it claims? What if organisations have over 50k members?

@shubhagata_choudhury That's the great thing about Kaizala! There are no maximum limit on the number of group members. The Indian state of Andhra Pradesh has a group called 'AP CM Connect', containing close to 200K members. The aim of the group is to connect the citizens to the Chief Minister of the state. I hope that answers your question :)

Hi! How secure is Kaizala for work chat compared to interfaces like WhatsApp and Telegram? @eamitabh
amitabh shukla
@dhanur_sehgal Actually one of the reasons Kaizala is suited for business organizations is because of its security protocols. Kaizala being a Microsoft product provides enterprise level security. The work group chats can be managed and group policies can be assigned accordingly. The admins can decide to enforce Azure Active Directory sign-in if required. Moreover, Kaizala is compliant with standards like GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC1, and HIPAA, making it a safer work chat platform compared to commercial applications like WhatsApp and Telegram.
