dMessage an alternative to Net Send
dMessage and Net Send are two software programs that allow you to send alerts over a local network. They have common features, but also important differences. In this article, we will compare these two tools and highlight the advantages of dMessage.
dMessage is software developed by the MGI Consultants, which presents itself as a modern and efficient alternative to Net Send.
It offers several features that set it apart from its competitor, such as:
- Formatting messages : dMessage allows you to use fonts, colors, images, links and emoticons in messages, making them more attractive and expressive. Net Send, on the contrary, only allows sending plain text, without any possibility of customization.
- Precise targeting of recipients : dMessage allows you to choose message recipients based on their IP address, username, group or computer. It relies on the Active Directory to retrieve this information and display it in a user-friendly interface. Net Send, on the other hand, only allows messages to be sent to a user or group, without being able to filter by IP or computer.
- Advanced reception filters: dMessage allows you to define rules to accept or reject incoming messages, based on the sender, content or time of sending. It also allows you to block unwanted or malicious messages. Net Send, on the other hand, does not have these options and receives all messages indiscriminately.
- Ringtones: dMessage allows you to choose a personalized ringtone for each message received, which makes it easy to distinguish important messages from secondary messages. Net Send does not offer this feature and always emits the same sound by default.
- Delegation of sending rights: dMessage allows you to create desktop shortcuts that give the right to send messages to certain people or groups. This can be useful for delegating communication to a colleague or assistant. Net Send does not allow this possibility and always requires entering the recipient's name each time you send.
As we have just seen, dMessage offers many advantages over Net Send, which is older and more limited software. dMessage is therefore a tool more suited to the current needs of businesses and individuals who wish to communicate effectively on a local network.
It is easy to install and use, and it is compatible with all versions of Windows from version 7.
