What differentiates Rocket.Chat from other similar products?

It is ALL-IN-ONE: Instant messaging Video conferencing Webinar File collaboration File share Omnichannel

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Freemium capabilities and Omnichannel. You can also deploy it by yourself

What do you dislike most about this product?

Support is mostly irresponsive unless you have a Premium license.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is waaaay better than Slack, yet for some reason, it's not all that well known. I would take this over Slack ANYDAY. It's hard to compete agains the likes of MS Teams that have a horrible product but gives you access as a bundle when you sign for Office360... Rocket.Chat is simply amazing when you put it against the aforementioned two. It's fast, gives you a ton of granular customization for a fraction of the cost.

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
  • Respectful
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable

Cons

  • Less Efficient Service
  • Less Caring
  • Wastes Time

Free chat tool I love it.

What differentiates Rocket.Chat from other similar products?

Rocket.Chat stands out from the crowd since it is open source and free (if hosted on your server), making it an attractive option for programmers who may not need all the bells and whistles offered by expensive alternatives like LiveChat. There is functionality and features in Rocket.Chat.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The flexibility and ease of integrating a chat widget into your web app in the manner of your choosing by the execution of a JavaScript script in your web app without the need to import any additional modules. And the features are fantastic, although learning how to put them to good use may prove challenging.

What do you dislike most about this product?

That the user interface is clumsy or outdated, or like how embedding a live chat requires a script that, by default, will only run on the server's address and not any website, and that, in order to make it work anywhere, it must be placed in a separate page, when it would be preferable to place it directly within the main page.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a great tool for free communication, file sharing, group chats, and data sharing, which is why I suggest using it. In addition, the channel itself can serve as the setting for a conversational "room." Really helpful if you're trying to avoid 1000 channels.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy
  • Unique Features
