Works well for our Inter-Company Communication

  • May 07, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
WOrks on Mac, Windows and Mobile, easy to use, possible to have different Chats, get Alerts via E-Mail when new message show up
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great, to have a smaller Window only focussing on entering Text and the three last messages so that not so much space from my Desktop Screen is taking away
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in Germany, US and New ZEaland and depend on a good Chat System to communicate or exchange documents

Great Open Source Slack Alternative

  • May 07, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RocketChat was super easy to migrate over to for a team of over 100 avid slack users. Everything was right where we left off, and the features work great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile apps could use some work and some users complain about missing notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slack file storage limits were a huge problem for us, so when we can host our own, those are a non-issue. Also being able to audit messages (although not through the UI) was a must for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it!

Excellent program which keep getting better

  • May 07, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

Rocket.Chat is getting updated rather frequently with fixes and new features rolling in. The development team is responsive when submitting a bug report.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rocket.Chat still has some bugs that are yet to be addressed.
The development team seems capable and rather friendly, but since this is still work in progress they might get overwhelmed at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between team members used to be all over the place, now it's more streamlined.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out their GitHub!

Good tool, highly configurable, but still requires some improvements

  • May 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use yet highly customizable. I really like how it can be configured. The customer support is also nice and helpful. I also like how the access rights management is organized and the pre-defined roles. It's also easy to create new roles - I never used it but I'm glad that it's there in case when I need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile application is not that good. It's limited in comparison to the web version and it has some bugs. The web version also has some bugs that should be fixed. I had a nasty bug that I couldn't add new credit card or remove the old, expired one. However, it was solved by the support team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's our main internal communication tool. Every employee has it so it's easy for people to reach appropriate people. We use it also as a collaboration tool for the projects we conduct.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn more about the different features of Rocket.Chat. Add your own bot, custom emoticons, create different access roles etc. If you spend some time on configuration and play with the tool, you'll find that there are really nice features hidden there:)

Review of Rocket Chat in education

  • May 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy set up and configuration. Clear pricing structure and quick to get into the hands of our users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile experience isn’t great and the overall UI Isn’t as intuitive as Slack. Mobile UI needs a lot of work to get it to be truly useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between internal staff and external customers in our case students. We needed something quick and lightweight and especially cheap. This has been made possible with the straightforward pricing structure of rocketchat.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth looking at as a cheaper alternative to Slack and easy to configure and install

Lack of Support Led Us to Another Provider

  • May 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I liked the features that Rocket.Chat had available. I liked that you could self-host or pay for hosting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked that the support appeared to be outsourced. Support was slow to respond to my issues on initial setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm not currently using Rocket.Chat.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We were looking to switch over from HipChat to Rocket.Chat but were unable to successfully import our HipChat data either through our self-hosted Rocket.Chat server or Rocket.Chat's hosted service.

Goodbye Slack!

  • January 25, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Due to a shared framework it is remarkably similar to its competitors but excels in customization, privacy, and (most importantly) reoccurring costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
New versions can come by the dozens, sometimes several days in a row.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rocket.Chat has allowed for increased productivity and collaboration while escaping the ever changing Slack pricing model.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While the software is open-source it is far from a hobbyist application. Anyone using Slack should make the hop to Rocket.Chat without delay.
