What is the general consensus on Zello? (lemmy.world)

I understand that Zello is not FOSS, but their website claims everything is end-to-end-encrypted.

So, in short, should/can it be trusted? If not, are there any good FOSS alternatives that provide similar Walkie-Talkie like functionality?

The reason FOSS will always be better is because claims like that can actually be validated and audited. Any company can claim their stuff is E2E encrypted, but you'll never know if that's true for closed source software. Even if they do actually do E2E encryption, you'll likely not know if they're doing it properly and with strong encryption algorithms.
