Why your organization will love Trillian over Teams

Easy to Use

These days it feels like everyone is re-inventing instant messaging in order to sell you a new way of doing the same old thing. Trillian's user interface is simple and easy to use, ensuring employees aren't wasting time learning a new tool.

Acts Like an Instant Messenger

Trillian isn't clunky or bloated and doesn't take up 1 gigabyte of RAM like newer chat tools tend to. A simple contact list and chat window will be a comfort to users of all skill levels, while modern features keep end users happily chatting.

Easy to Administer

Stay in control of who is allowed to use Trillian and what features they're allowed to utilize with centralized administration. Unlike Skype, as new employees are onboarded they automatically appear on everyone else's contact list.

Optional On-Premises Server

We're one of the few remaining companies fully committed to on-prem solutions: you can run your own Trillian Server behind the firewall on your own hardware if you so desire, ensuring total ownership of communications.

Trillian is affordable

Trillian is an affordable alternative to Microsoft Teams. Our pricing is transparent, always. We also include all of our features into a single license, helping prevent guessing games when it comes to maximizing your ROI. And, unlike Microsoft Teams, we provide tier 1 support and roadmap influence with all of our license options. When you get into sticky situations, we're always there to help.

Trillian is lightweight and easy-to-use

Call us old-fashioned, but we're firm believers that messaging apps should not be using hundreds of megabytes of RAM when idle. That's why we continue to spend the extra time and effort necessary to build native versions of Trillian for every operating system we support to help keep resource consumption reasonable.

Trillian has centralized administration

Everything your users can do in Trillian can be controlled centrally, and an optional centralized chat history archive allows your business to stay on the right side of compliance and regulatory concerns. Small businesses and customers from highly regulated industries like healthcare alike are able to enjoy Trillian's full feature set while still staying compliant.
