What does everyone think of Microsoft Kaizala? It meets HIPPA requirements and you can backup your messages. It has a lot of group chat features. It also has a beta web chat. I've heard a lot of people in India are moving to it for personal and work chat ilo WhatsApp.

I'm from India and I had to go look up what you were talking about. Literally the first time I'm hearing about this. I am also pretty sure that not many have moved to it from WhatsApp. Truth is, after so many years I am just now seeing the slow growth of Telegram amongst the city crowd.

From what I've read, it was developed in India under Microsoft Garage. It's being used more for business.

I think of it like Microsoft Windows. It isn't open source, and truly auditable at-will by independent researchers, so I have no reason to trust it.

I will ask the ignorant question, why Kaizala and not MS Teams? It also has groups, DMs, picture messaging, office integration, etc... I feel rather overwhelmed lately with all the various messaging options on the market with the same company often having multiple solutions.

I don't work for Microsoft, so I couldn't tell you why. From what I understand though, (I haven't used Kaizala yet, but use Teams at work) Teams uses AD, whereas Kaizala only needs a registered phone number.

India is WhatsApp's biggest market too.
