Real-time chat has boosted one-to-one messaging and user engagement in my mobile projects
The best features PubNub offers, in my opinion, are one-to-one chat, as I mentioned in my review, and the great SDK documentation which allows for easy integration that does not take much time. Setting up channels, message listeners, tracking user status to determine whether users are online or offline, and ensuring reliable message delivery are all great features. I find myself relying on all three of those features the most because the presence tracking is great, the delivery speed is superb compared to other SDKs, and the user status updates immediately pop up, which is significant. The integration is very easy, so any new developers can easily understand the integration process thanks to the clear documentation. PubNub has positively impacted my organization as I have received numerous reviews and feedback stating that the chat works much faster and cleaner, and everyone appreciates it, saying it feels powerful. After implementing PubNub, I noticed positive outcomes such as client feedback acknowledging that they enjoyed the chat features and found them much faster than in other applications, which I believe is very positive feedback for any organization.

Integrated hiring and learning have transformed staffing accuracy and accelerated career growth
TalentEdge is a global HR EdTech platform and running really well, but I feel that there are our Centers of Excellence and small and mid-sized organizations which are not very plump in terms of business and in terms of average business revenue every year. I would definitely request them to go ahead with some generous discounting for small and mid-sized EdTech companies so that all our vendors and partners can also utilize the services. Additionally, our system requires a lot of customization very frequently. I also believe that if more business teams can come together and discuss our ideas and bring some customizable features for us, it will create a booming relationship for both of us. We develop people and organizations, and when these two meet together, organizations grow. That is the idea I really believe in. There are a few improvements that we would definitely like to have. We would definitely like to have the mobile experience. Right now, whatever subscription we have taken is of desktop version only. If a mobile version can also be introduced, that would be a great help. Additionally, I would request their tech team to timely organize webinars, orientations, and workshop sessions for newer people and newer organizations who may take a bit longer time for understanding and navigating the entire system. Rest everything is great and the system is working in a very fast way. There is no lag. The system is working great.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"PubNub has positively impacted my organization as I have received numerous reviews and feedback stating that the chat works much faster and cleaner, and everyone appreciates it, saying it feels powerful."
"PubNub saves development time because we do not have to create a complete chat backend and frontend from scratch, enabling a plug-and-play approach that saves time, effort, and money for the company."
"PubNub's push notification and chat features stand out because of ease of use and very easy integration within our application."
"If we had implemented all of this on our own, we would have had to hire at least 50 more employees for that, so we are very happy with PubNub and we have saved a lot of time."
"PubNub has positively impacted my organization by reducing implementation time and developers' work, making it very easy to implement and enabling fast development that has reduced the developers' time by 40-50%."
"The speed and efficiency of PubNub, which helps transfer data in real-time with very low latency, received positive feedback from our customers."
"In conclusion, TalentEdge has become one of the most optimal recruitment platforms, offering significant cost optimization and enhancing candidate experience through advanced hiring and learning management system capabilities."
"There have been many visible and invisible benefits that we see after introducing TalentEdge, with our placement percentage jumping from 50% to 80%, project timelines shrinking from 15 months to six to eight months, around 30% savings on expenses, and a 20% enhancement in productivity, all while making employees happier and reducing errors through automated, transparent processes."
"Overall, we have been able to generate a profit of approximately 30 to 40 percent over the past five years."
"Overall, this is a great efficient product that has led to a very focused approach in terms of managing teams."
"The features, the proficiency, and the efficiency coming in the entire HR system and processing are phenomenal."
 

Cons

"I believe PubNub can improve in terms of pricing transparency, as I previously mentioned, since that is the only thing I think should be improved because for smaller projects or startups, estimating scaling costs can be challenging."
"Regarding customer support from PubNub, around six years ago, we did not receive good support."
"Most of the time there are some instances at the load peak hours or sometimes payload is missed by the application or SDK at the SDK level."
"I gave PubNub a rating of nine out of ten because of the many features discussed, but I deducted one point because the cost increases with scale."
"The reliability of PubNub is really good, but occasionally we face issues where users complain about messages or push notifications not being delivered within a short period of time, as it occasionally takes longer, which could be due to outages."
"Since PubNub is a paid library, it may not be useful for everyone."
"While every experience has been great, there are occasional delays in ticket resolution when the system slows down, particularly over weekends; minimizing these operational lags would elevate TalentEdge further."
"We need more training sessions from TalentEdge team, and extended training every three months would be beneficial, as many functionalities are frequently updated, leaving our team unaware of newer features."
"I would definitely request them to go ahead with some generous discounting for small and mid-sized EdTech companies so that all our vendors and partners can also utilize the services."
"There are definitely a few improvement areas that are currently giving us challenges."
"Currently, we are experiencing somewhat laggard communication regarding overall development, but many advancements have already been witnessed that could provide significant momentum to our development activity."
