    Softpedia Editor's Review for Pandion

    EDITOR'S RATING:

    Instant messaging client for XMPP networks

    Written by Bogdan Popa on February 18th, 2012

    Pandion is a powerful instant messaging application for XMPP networks, providing lots of well-developed tools to enhance the whole chatting experience.

    With an eye-candy and easy to navigate look, Pandion also provides a so-called “Sign Up Wizard” to help users create new accounts and start chatting in a few minutes.

    Plus, it offers multiple connection modes, with dedicated options to enable secure communication and sign in authentication either with address and password or using the integrated Windows authentication.

    Once you log in, you discover an attractive look that lets you not only send messages to your contacts, but also use emoticons, change fonts and backgrounds, access message history, view profiles and block some IDs.

    With tabbed chat windows, Pandion does a great job when it comes to data compression, which means it uses low bandwidth while remaining secure all the time.

    Other great features of the app include group chat for setting up conference rooms and plug-in support, which basically lets more advanced users to design their very own plug-ins and thus add new features to the app.

    The only feature you may miss is a file transfer tool, which means no, you can't send files to your contacts, so this is the only major setback of the application.

    Pandion works flawlessly regardless of the operating system installed on your system and since it's supposed to run most of the time you're working on the computer, it's impressively user friendly.

    Overall, Pandion is one of the best XMPP clients, allowing users to chat with friends in a very secure environment and with the help of an eye candy interface.
