Element - Secure Messenger

Element is a unique messaging and collaboration application that offers advanced online communication tools for businesses. It stands out from other apps because it operates on the Matrix open network, which prioritizes secure messaging and decentralized communication. This means that users have maximum ownership and control over their data and messages, and can even choose to self-host the app. One of the key features of Element is its focus on privacy and encrypted messaging. It protects users from unwanted ads, data mining, and walled gardens, and ensures that all data, video and voice communication is end-to-end encrypted and verified. This makes it a safer option for corporate communication, especially for remote workers. Additionally, Element allows for easy integration with other collaboration tools like Slack, giving users even more control over their privacy. Another advantage of Element is its ability to be self-hosted. This means that users can choose where to keep their data and messages, without the risk of third-party access or data mining. They can also choose from thousands of public servers hosted by volunteers, or sign up for an account on a custom server through the Element Matrix Services hosting platform. Element also offers open messaging and collaboration, allowing users to communicate with anyone on the Matrix network, regardless of the app they are using. This includes other Matrix apps, as well as different messaging apps. The app also boasts real end-to-end encryption and cross-signed device verification for added security. In addition to messaging, Element also offers features such as voice and video calls, file sharing, screen sharing, and various integrations, bots, and widgets. This makes it a complete communication and integration tool for businesses. And with fully synchronized message history across all devices and on the web, users can easily pick up where they left off and stay in touch wherever they are. Lastly, Element is an open-source project, meaning that its code is publicly available for anyone to view and contribute to. This adds an extra layer of transparency and trust for users. They can report bugs and contribute to the app's development on GitHub. Overall, Element offers a secure, flexible, and open solution for businesses looking to improve their online communication and collaboration.
