Brosix is a business instant messaging platform that gives each company its own private messaging network. Rather than joining a public chat service, a team creates a dedicated space that only invited members can reach. The administrator decides who can log in, who can communicate with whom, and which features each person can use.
The company behind it, Brosix Inc., says it was established in 2006 with a mission to deliver secure, user-friendly communication tools for individuals and businesses. Its site describes the product as team chat that anyone can set up and everyone can use, aimed at organizations without large IT departments.
Brosix compares itself with Slack and Microsoft Teams, arguing that those tools assume IT expertise and time to build workflows. It also contrasts itself with consumer apps such as Messenger and WhatsApp, citing tighter admin control and no risk of outside participants.
An administrator signs up, names the team and invites members by email or a join link. Members download the app, log in and start chatting. The site describes this as setup in about 60 seconds, with no credit card needed to start.
From then on, the admin runs the network from a web-based control panel. There are no servers to install or maintain. Admins can auto-connect everyone or define custom visibility and groups, create, edit and remove users, set permissions and monitor usage.
Messages are encrypted, and files move between users through a compressed peer-to-peer transfer. Chat history can be searched and exported, and the Ultimate plan adds customizable history policies, so records stay available for organizations that need them.
The communication toolkit covers direct messages, group chats, chat rooms, audio calls, video calls and broadcast messages. Text chat includes replies, mentions, seen status and edit or delete. Offline messages are delivered when the recipient returns, and tabbed chat, status visibility and spell check are listed on the features page.
Collaboration tools include file transfer of unlimited size, screen sharing, remote desktop, screenshots and a whiteboard. These are included on every plan, so a smaller team does not give up core functions to save money.
Administration is the other focus. Admins get granular permissions, security levels, chat room controls, profile and password change policies, a user activity log and usage insights. Higher tiers add two-factor authentication, IP address permissions, chat history expiration, multiple administrators and custom logo branding.
