Review by Frederick Barton (Cybersecurity Editor)

on 28 Apr 2014

Traditional instant messengers are not the best solution for communicating with co-workers in a large office building. Besides the fact that anyone from the outside can interrupt your work, there are also a few risks regarding security. An excellent alternative is OMessenger, which is designed specifically for office communications. The software provides the same functionality as other instant messengers, but it relays messages over a local network or VPN. In addition, OMessenger comes with a wide variety of useful office tools, like a reminder, notes organizer and more.

Installing OMessenger takes only a few seconds, even on older machines. The application can be used on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and it is available for Android and iOS devices as well. Its hardware requirements are modest and you don't have to make any complex settings or install any prerequisite tools.

When launched, the application will ask you to specify your display name, choose a group you want to be part of and provide a few other details, which are not mandatory. The main user interface is loaded immediately, before you finish providing your initial information. OMessenger displays contacts in a list, just like any other instant messenger and you can communicate with your co-workers on separate windows.

The best part is that you don't have to add any contacts manually. They will appear in your list instantly, once they run the application and specify the initial details, on their own computers. The chat windows come with a few options, for inserting emoticons, changing font settings, sending files, starting a conference, printing the conversation. Another useful feature is the possibility of viewing someone's desktop remotely, just by clicking a small icon, which can be found on the same chat windows.

Besides exchanging messages and files with co-workers, the application allows you to perform other tasks, like setting up reminders, creating notes or sending emails. It is worth mentioning that OMessenger's reminder feature can do much more than displaying a message on your screen, at a specific date and time. You can also set up reminders, with custom messages, for other users on your network. Additionally, you can set OMessenger to run a program of your choice, open a website, shut down the computer or perform other power-related actions, at your specified time and date.

Pros

You can chat with co-workers over a local network, without any kind of difficulties. Contacts are added to your list automatically, when they log in. Also, the application allows you to send emails and set up reminders, for yourself or for other users.

Cons

There are no obvious drawbacks to address. With OMessenger, you can communicate with your co-workers in a secure and comfortable manner, without being hindered by outside contacts.
