Brosix Public v. Corporate Brosix

There are many parts to the Brosix website that many of you may not know about. Brosix is broken into 2 parts- there is a Brosix public, which provides the instant messenger program to anyone free of charge (http://www.brosix.org) and the Brosix Secure Corporate IM for private companies (http://www.brosix.com).

Both of these choices provide the great Brosix messaging program to users, but the paid version (Secure Corporate IM) does not have any ads, and charges on a per-user rate. Corporate IM also allows employee IM accounts to be managed online by supervisors or managers. Additionally, accounts are encrypted with 256-bit keys, so the data remains useless to anyone trying to hack into a Brosix IM conversation or file transfer.

Brosix really stresses the importance of collaboration when working with co-workers or friends. Such attributes (which have been mentioned in earlier blog entries) include collaborative web browsing, where 2 users are able to surf the same webpages together, and Whiteboard, which provides a digital surface for users to draw diagrams, notes, and exchange ideas in the lifelike environment of brainstorming.

Brosix Public has the same features as the Corporate version, but it doesn’t promise the same secure private network.

I know I have given this link out before, but if you are interested in downloading Brosix Public before deciding whether or not to get the corporate version, go to http://www.brosix.org/compare.shtml
