What it does
Trillian for Business is an instant messaging product for organizations. It offers persistent group chats, centralized conversation history, presence, desktop and mobile clients, administrative policies, a chat bot, and a REST API. The vendor also offers optional on-premises Trillian Server deployment and settings to control how long chat history is kept.
Trillian for Business gives departments a place for persistent group conversations that can be searched as a shared reference, while presence and tabbed chats help employees manage current conversations. Administrators can control which client features are available to users, and the product page describes optional on-premises hosting for companies that want to run Trillian Server on their own hardware. Trillian separates its free individual messenger from paid Business and Enterprise offers; the pricing page lists business subscriptions per user per month but the available page text did not expose an exact rate. No client, server, or chat network was configured or tested.
Strengths
- Persistent group chats provide searchable conversation history for teams.
- Centralized administration can control available client features and user accounts.
- Organizations can choose cloud hosting or an optional on-premises server.
Watch out for
- Trillian for Business is a managed organizational product, not the same offer as the free individual messenger.
- Business plans charge per user per month.
Best for
- Businesses that want persistent group chats organized by department or location
- Organizations that need central messaging policies or an on-premises deployment option
