Pumble

Pumble presents itself as a free alternative to the more popular tools offered by Microsoft Teams and Slack. Yet in its early stages, this service enables multi-platform support and a comfortable interface and menu navigation.

The tool allows you to create multiple workspaces and within each instance, you can add multiple channels, customize their description, activity status, icon, and name. At the same time, the service is available for mobile, desktop, and the web. You have support and applications for Windows OS, macOS, various Linux distributions, as well as Android and iOS.

Relating to Microsoft Teams' and Slack's ability to configure your notifications cross-platform, it is notable to mention  that Pumble also enables you to pause notifications, use separate settings for mobile, or set up a distinct notification schedule for every day, weekdays, or for a custom interval.

Yet again, the app and service have several distinctive advantages, such as easy file sharing, quick file and message lookup, and unlimited chat and file history search. The latter is a crucial element for the user. Why? Because most apps and services only allow you to trace back your activity for a predefined timeframe. As such, if you are a regular user and not the admin or if you are not subscribed to a paid plan, you can hardly recover past shared data and messages.

In conclusion, the app works very well, it is perfect for day-to-day chatting and conferences, and it makes sending files extremely easy. Equally, Pumble's outlook and implementation make it a reliable choice for personal purposes, freelancers, and larger teams.

Last but not least, the program's interface and menu are not complicated and offer a clean-looking overview of all your shared data and interactions.
