17. POSITIVE FINDINGS AND OBSERVATION
As per our research most of people prefer more staying in touch with people by using technological mode
is “Voice call” and Second one is “Instant Messaging app” and last ranked got “email” it may because it is
time consuming.
Most of the respondent are giving first priority to whatsapp.
We haven’t find anyone who tells us he/she don’t know about whatsapp.
Most of people tell us Hike provides more securities than whatsapp, mostly when they are using Wi-Fi.
Out of 200 respondent 13 people don’t know about hike messenger. It may lack of marketing.
On the basis of IM alternative there are many app available which provides same and more feature than
hike and whatsapp which is Wechat, Line, Skype, Dingtone, Viber, etc. and these are the most competitor
in market.
Whatsapp and Facebook is much older and have captured whole market although hike got 3rd position in
rank in our research.
In our research the most used application by the respondent is: whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Wechat,
Line, Viber, and Hike. Other (Recommended by the respondent)-Skype, Instagram, Dingtone, and Imo.
18. NEGATIVE FINDINGS AND OBSERVATION
There many user of whatsapp tell us whatsapp does not provide more security and leaks their data while
using Wi-Fi.
While many user notice hike messenger consumer more RAM on low ended device.
On hike too many people give their response ‘not enough friend using same application” so we are not
using it.
While some people don’t know about hike which means hike need to take care behind marketing.
In hike most of people does not satisfied with supporting different OS, which means in some OS hike
messenger is not available so people can’t use it. The same thing also applicable for whatsapp.
Out of 127 respondent of hike 5 respondent find voice calls is not good in hike.
Where in whatsapp out of 200 respondent only 8 respondent highly dissatisfied with voice calls of
whatsapp.
19. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
Throughout the study we came to know that WhatsApp has been in market for
quite some time and is being used by most and offers simple interface for text
messaging. With increasing smartphone market WhatsApp has captured the market
but Hike Messenger still new although they have beat Wechat, line, yahoo
messenger, BBM, and Viber and got 3rd ranked in our research. It shows that Hike
Company doing something innovating to beat their competitor but company has to
keep innovating to maintain the satisfactory level of existing customers.
